I'm working on some splash art & NPC portraits for an upcoming Pathfinder game! Not 100% sure if I'm done with this portrait yet, I think I could do more.

If there was ever any doubt in how deep the nerdiness runs, this picture of me is almost 25 years old. I am building a website in Dreamweaver about the Winter Olympics for a school project.

It also seems that I never knew how to smile in photos, ahahaha. I promise I’m having a good time.
A photo from late 2001 of a ten-year-old child in a school computer lab, wearing a red v-neck 3/4ths sleeved shirt with straight, shoulder-length copper hair and wearing glasses. They face the camera with a neutral expression. On the beige IBM computer behind them, Macromedia (now Adobe) Dreamweaver is open, a website homepage in the editor window, featuring content about the then-upcoming 2002 Winter Olympics. To the right of the computer sits a tie-dyed Beanie Baby bear plush.

And this is Havok, the other tavern owner. He/him, hellspawn nephilim, manages the restaurant side of the tavern and is an excellent baker.

A digitally-illustrated portrait of an adult male tiefling or demon-like humanoid, with pointed ears, purple-hued skin, and two sets of bone-beige horns; one small pair jutting from his forehead, one pair sloping backwards from his temples. He has dark purple hair, shaved on the sides with a spiky, mohawk-like style on top, featuring spiky green tips. He wears a grey and black t-shirt with a sword logo on it, similar to a band tee.

This is Cindzi, one of the two tavern owners. She/her, sharp-eared Catfolk, manages the bar and inn room side of the business.

belated intro post time!

Hello! I'm Mara (they/she), a 30-something genderflux AuDHD & disabled TTRPG player, AP cast member, and occasional game runner!

When I'm not doing my full-time gig of software engineering, you can find me dreaming up new stories to tell.

I'm GMing my first AP one shot in ~10 days, as part of @dinnerandagame.bsky.social's Winter Games! It's a CY_BORG heist called The Santa Extraction Protocol, and I can't wait.

I'm super excited ...and nervous.

What advice would you share a first-time AP GM? (not my first time GMing in general.)
