I could really go for a Rancherito’s carne asada burrito right now. 🤤

I’m already over today and it’s not even lunch time.

Selfie in my office holding a light blue coffee mug.

Good morning, Internet! Data center made a major system change over the weekend so that means it’s gonna be a busy day in the IT department. Coffee is brewed and I’m as ready as I’m gonna get…

Finally watched #StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy “300th Night” and I think #StarTrekSFA might get a *perfect run and not have a single bad episode in its first season! 🤯

*My opinion, of course. If you disliked one/some/all, that’s okay— we all have different tastes and that’s awesome!

The word Daggerheart written in marker on paper in all caps. The first letter E has an extra horizontal line coming off it. A small note points at the E and says “DAFUQ?”

I wrote this “E” super weird. Guys, am I AI?

Yeah, I need to prep for our family Offworlders game today but I’m still wiped-out from Daggerheart last night. That was a long session.

Thank you!

Thanks!

Happy Sunday!

It became my “white whale.” 😅 Tried running it as-written w/ D&D 5e several times, converted to Pathfinder 2e once, rewrote as a sci-fi adventure w/ Offworlders another time, and this was the 2nd attempt w/ Daggerheart, but we finally did it! None of the others even made it to Wave Echo Cave…

Finally finished “Lost Mine of Phandelver” tonight. I’ve been trying to run it from beginning to end for 5 years in multiple systems but it always fell through. Thank you so much to my nerdy friends for making it happen! Excited to see where the characters go from here…

Working on it.

Thanks!

Yeah, I’ve been getting back into painting and have done a bit of sculpting, too.

It is. Credit to @doctorow.pluralistic.net.

Recently discovered water, myself.

I was feeling crotchety this morning but this video fixed that.

With the enshittification of everything technological that I once loved, the appeal of all things analog and offline is getting irresistible…

Thanks!

Is it too much to expect that people be ready when you tell them you’ll be there? I was taught that it was disrespectful as hell to keep people waiting but it seems like everyone I know makes me wait at least ten minutes after I’m there while they “finish getting ready.” It’s infuriating!

Seriously considering getting into film photography because digital photography isn’t as fun as it used to be. Any advice, budget-friendly gear recommendations, etc. for a casual photographer like me?

Here’s an example for tonight’s session:

BUGBEAR
DC: 14 | TH: 12/23 | HP: 5 | SP: 4
ATK +2 | 2d10+2 phy
Grab (A, S1): ATK, 2d6+2 phy, Restrained.

Daggerheart adversary stat blocks are already super simple compared to D&D but I’ve condensed them down even more for my games.

Project Tortoisefoot Update
Word Count = 3,008

I hit 3k words and writers block at the same time two weeks ago, but apparently just for this because I’ve written a ton for my TTRPG campaigns… annoying!

#AmWriting

Eww. Like, if y’all both consent to this kind of relationship dynamic, more power to ya, but to expect it? Gross.

It’s really embarrassing having to ask co-workers *why* I’m doing something because my ADHD ass didn’t write it down and my brain apparently decided that wasn’t important to know… like, I know I’m imaging this computer to give to a staff member, but who are they? What department? Not a f*kin’ clue!

I would argue that it’s healthy to fully immerse yourself in what you love right now, so long as you don’t totally bury your head in the sand.
I’m running 3 TTRPG campaigns, reading Warhammer 40k and the Stormlight Chronicles, plus doing a little drawing, painting, and writing when the mood hits.

As the forever GM of my group, I’ve generally not given players much direct input on NPCs, but we’re about to start the next chapter of our Daggerheart campaign where they are transported to an entirely new, homebrew setting, and the goal is to be as collaborative as possible. We’ll see how it goes!

Up past my bedtime watching hiking videos on YouTube. I really need to get back into it.
