Just played @brennanrtaylor.bsky.social's Teenage Ninja Fighting School #TTRPG & holy hell it rips.
@danielhkwan.bsky.social & @conkliodd.bsky.social were the best brother & friend my villain arc bound strategist could have asked for.
Check it out at ttrpg.link/ninjaschool
Being sick sucks on such a level as an adult. Things to to and my sinus says “No I think I’ll make your body stop working “ 🤧
This third Rian Johnson film of Wake Up Dead Man is a gem. I felt like I knew where it was going but still kept some twisting as the end arrived. The lighting design was immaculate, and Father Judd is a good representation of my faith as well as where the story overall takes it. I strongly recommend
My discord has spoken! Tonight at eight est we are going live to work on writing the items I am making for D&D and TTRPG’s tonight to give to members in December. I’m super excited to have everybody backing me up as I create my creative muscles #dnd #ttrpg
SNOW DAY!!! let’s figure out how I’m going to use it to procrastinate!
Loving this shirt I made #christmas #donuts
...and with a blink of an eye PAX Unplugged 2025 is over. I'm glad I got to go but didn't get to spend a lot of time this year. I'm going to change that going forward. #pax #paxunplugged #boardgames #tsbletopgaming

Coming back to my house after convention I feel like the leftovers are going to eat me. Time to clean ahead of turkey day.
"It's dangerous to go #paxunplugged alone... take this," is what @conkliodd.bsky.social said, and then handed me a donut. The perfect start to a great adventure! #boardgame #tabletop #cardgames
Home from an amazing PAX Unplugged with so much energy and ideas. Time to harness it for the power of games. And I’m a Champ
the programme for day 3 of the Andrea's Adventurers charity stream, starting November 9 at 8.30 am pacific time 8.30 am pacific - welcome, opening, territory acknowledgement, info 9:00 AM PST | D&D 5e | GM Owen Infiltrate Lord Flay’s grand melee in the Kingdom of K’chen to represent your sponsor, The Lord Ram‑Say. Duel challengers, manage a food truck mid-battle, and vie for the esteemed Mich’s Star and elusive Child’s Knife—symbols of your culinary and combat prowess 1:00 PM PST | Oops! All Divas | GM James You play larger than life personas: musicians, actors, visionaries, and so forth. When that multi-platinum artist says she's going to boil the oceans, people take the threat as credible, and within her power. What happens when these (sometimes literal) titans of industry need to band together to face a threat previously unseen in the industry? It's certain at least one of them is gonna be in the tabloids tomorrow....
5:00 PM PST | D&D 5e | GM Pixie A tear filled plea from a heartbroken child can soften even the most hardened of adventurers. That's why you're out in these familiar woods past midnight on an eerie, full-moon night calling out for little lost "Fluffy". It's quick good deed which will leave you plenty of time to have a hot mug of strong mulled wine together at the pub before bed - or it should, but as a tinkling laughter echoes out from the darkness, and a thick sweet scent fills the air, it's quickly becoming apparent that all is not quite right in the forest tonight. 9:00 PM PST | THANK YOU! Join us as we wrap up the weekend and check our final fundraising total - stream and auction! There will be tears.
It's day 3! At 8.30 am PST, join us at twitch.tv/plaiddogevents for an the last day of this full weekend of TTRPGs and charity fundraising for Andrea's Adventurers!

The Donuts That Raised Me
How sweet mornings with my grandparents shaped my love for comfort food and connection. I have fond memories of eating donuts. That might sound like a silly statement, and I’m sure others haven’t put as much stock into the times they’ve snacked on sweet treats. But I’ve…
A 1000 Islands Mini-moon
A wonderful wedding getaway. There was a big question in the air about what we’d do the weekend after our wedding. We had the kids set with their own plans, but Jocelyn and I waited until the last minute to decide where we were going. It was Labor Day weekend, so prices…
Capybara Crush Board Game Review: Smiles, Strategy, and Snuggly Packaging
Capybaras Get Their Heads in the Game Capybaras have been living rent-free in our heads lately. The zeitgeist is strong—you see them in games, posters, and funny videos. I’ve never been the type to hold strong opinions about…
Joy of a Simple Wedding
Our Wedding With Simple Love My partner and I are easily entertained. Over the past few years together, we’ve learned that the simple things make us happiest. Since we’ve both been married before—and we each have kids—we knew we didn’t need a grand production this time…
Reframing the Game
Do you see wetlands, a building or more? There are so many tropes about how we see the world. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The grass is always greener. Is your glass half empty or half full? I usually land on the half-full side. I like to be positive and look for the…
I’m Kind of a Big Dill Game Review
I’m not Gherkin your chain. Have you ever embellished something? Was the fish longer in your story than it was in real life? Does your dating profile talk a bit more about your passion for reading than may be true? Is your age dependent on the day? This may be…
Oram’s Donut Shop Pittsburgh Review
A box of delicious tradition. Is Beaver Falls part of Pittsburgh? When I gave the call out to get an idea of where to go in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania this was easily the top commented place to go. I’m not as familiar with the area as I would like to be so I do…
Is Glazed the Universal Donut?
Read and Tell Me The Joke While traveling last week, a friend brought up that they judge donut shops based on a glazed donut . They get that variety of donut wherever they go, and use that as their baseline looking at places. It is not my methodology, but it does…
Rebel Princess Game Review
Princesses with Power My experience with Rebel Princess goes right along with my experience with princesses. I find myself dazzled a bit every time I get a chance to see them, but you can’t marry someone you just met. This game is quite different because I’m happy to get…
2025 Gen Con Recap
The Best 4 Days in Gaming I spent the past week at Gen Con in Indianapolis, my fourth time at the convention. This is my first trip to mix a bit of business with family as I brought my two children along for the ride. This was their first convention ever, and I thought if we…
Gaming and Friendship
David Hoppe President of Gen Con’s As much as I wanna write about Gen Con and the amazing parts of this convention that are exhausting me to no end in the best ways, tonight I’m reflecting on how much games have meant to me building friendships. I for years was the kid who…
Pre Exhaustion
We have a big week next week. A lot of my year culminates in going to Gen Con, and participating like a madman there. I get to see friends, meet with companies and designers and this year I get to take my kids for the first time. I’ve known about this for a year and I’ve had all…
