I’m listening to the Monsters and Treasure podcast on my way to CleriCon. The topic is mapping and I realize I didn’t bring any graph paper!

I’m doing another playtest for my new adventure for my Hardy Boys Mysteries RPG!

I have to make sure the bugs are worked out before I run it at CleriCon!

There are more books in the public domain this year! That means more material to inspire!

I’m jumping into #SoloRPG play with #CloudEmpress and the personalities I rolled for my party are a little volatile. 😁

Scroll through this starter pack. So many of these folks have incredible credentials in the ttRPG sphere!

In my day job, I see how amazing marginalized professionals have to be to be included on a list. If they managed to carve out some space, they are worth your attention.

I’m enjoying #StarWars #SkeletonCrew so far!

Listening to early Bandit’s Keep Episodes about the Moldvay/Cook instructions on how to play well as written in the books.

I’m following all my ttRPG people. This could take a while!
