I’ve been thinking about #PAX this year.
I didn’t do much there, but I did learn that my m̶i̶n̶i̶o̶n̶s̶ ̶s̶u̶b̶j̶e̶c̶t̶s̶ GAME MASTERS are absolute LEGENDS who I can barely keep up with…
That and I’m absolutely awful at marketing.

I am the grand master of procrastinating.
I had this vague little lore idea in my head, and was NOT allowed to start doing anything productive until I managed to scrape it out onto a sheet of paper...

Does anybody want to help me get to know the big bad demon lord from my #DnD campaign a bit better?
All I really know about the guy is that he loves magma, mortal women and VENGEANCE…
Tell me a little more about him!

QRP with your book covers.
I’m not actually a proper cover artist, just a writer who’s way too stubborn and poor to let anybody else muscle in on my racket 🤫

Fuck me this is bleak.
But please, do continue to use GenAI slop thumbnails for your YouTube videos, or your album art, or your book covers or whatever else. I'll continue to refuse to watch/listen/read any of them, knowing already they're not worth the time & that you're a disappointing lazy hack.

I think the fans, including Critical “D&D is terrible for the kinds of stories we tell but it’s where the money is so we’ll justify it with some backwards logic somehow” Role, are at least partially to blame for this one.
They make me want to scream “Try another game! Just once!”

Since 2022, I’ve played this silly little game with myself where I go into the same bathroom on the same weekend to take a crummy selfie.
