Played "i'm sorry did you say street magic" by @seaexcursion.itch.io while kayak camping in the San Juans.

Had a lot of fun with it and built an incredibly rich city with lots of fun neighborhoods, landmarks and residents. Highly recommend for any city-building you're looking to do!

Randomly found The High Crusade at @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social and it looked so wild I knew I had to watch it.

Let’s watch

Ran LORDSWORN by @marrensmusings.bsky.social with my online group tonight and can’t wait for the next session.

We’ve all GM’d before but this was our first GM-less game and it was incredible watching everyone’s creativity working together.

Definitely play if being a sad knight is for you

Ran a game of The Quiet Year by @lackingceremony.bsky.social with some brilliant people and had an incredible 4 hour experience of hope, heartbreak and laughs along the way.

Gotta love the feeling when people tell you “this was my favorite RPG experience ever!”

"Nolan tries and fails to grapple with the morality of a billionaire who dresses up and spends billions of dollars to beat up teenagers for shop-lifting snickers bars" was my favorite quote from this section

Had fun talking about how the themes in the Bourne Identity are very post-modern even if the movie poster itself is a modernist approach to the blue and orange theme

They let me host the All-Hands at work this month for some reason and there's always a five minute random presentation that the host gives at the start... Usually something like a "Summer Book Suggestions!" or "Things I know about Bees".

I went a slightly different direction

Was so sad I couldn’t be there at the Brighton game, but have the best friends

Got to work with @evilhat.bsky.social and @deadlyfredly.bsky.social on producing some visuals in a dashboard to show their Distribution trends over the last 15 years. Was really fun to work on this project and I hope people get some cool insights into the #ttrpg publishing industry.

Just got the Mission Impawsible box set in the mail. Can’t wait to play as three raccoons in a trench coat!

Carol Thunderfoot picks up a pump and starts pumping to show he's a changed man while trying to look over at the rest of the group with desperate kind eyes.

He probably just looks pretty deranged

Found this idea online back in 2020 and using an index card as a bookmark has really been a game changer for me on keeping track of my reading. (Besides 2022, RIP)
