Cover for the TTRPG: Mnesis - you are a monster but you don't eat flesh, no, you eat memories - GM-less solo or 1-3 players. A skeletal creature that looks akin to a burning flame

More frustrating: I ate a late lunch so I’m not especially hungry, but also dinner still needs to be made.

I am many layers of dumb today.

So tired, but dinner isn’t cooking itself so it’s time to conjure some energy and get to doing that I suppose.

Tornado Warning, Severe Thunderstorm Warning, and a Flood Watch?

Pittsburgh, I’m going to need you to calm the hell down with the weather excitement.

Step 1: buy the book from not Amazon. (call your FLGS or local bookstore and ask if they have it! If they don't many will order it for you!)

Step 2: review it on Amazon so that publisher daddy is proud of us

Step 3: fall down a rabbit hole re: Amazon's very weird games categorization lists

Hey heroes!

@superdillin.bsky.social and I have a new book out. I'm very proud of it and I want it to do well.

You can help by buying a copy, but you can help even more by leaving a review! Yes, on Amazon. Evening you didn't buy it there.

I have two PowerPoint presentations I need to be working on and I’ve just spent the past ten minutes intermittently forgetting I’m a person.

It’s going to be quite the day.

This is something that requires so much more nuance than this type of platform is conducive to including, but it’s something that has been rattling around the confines of my skull with the current abundance of looksmaxxing, a term that makes my teeth itch, and so on.

Modern toxic masculinity is a deeply frustrating thing that I learn about because I want to be able to help guide my sons away from it while also doing my part to help equip my daughter to be able to deal with it.

It means I’ve learned of a lot of shit I’d rather avoid, but I can’t choose ignorance

A Time Adrift | Season One - YouTube All episodes from season 1 of A Time Adrift

I'm a transgender woman who made a fun Anime-inspired TTRPG and is now using it to tell an alternate-timeline story set in the world of Final Fantasy XIV with a bunch of friends and it's a really good time!

3 has started saying toodleoo in addition to buh-bye and see ya (though it sounds more like sheeyuhhh).

This kid is too stinkin cute (and he knows it, the little shit).

I want Pokopia (can’t justify the expense right now, that’s a whole other thing, etc).

HOWEVER!

My fear is I will be really bad at it. I’m not especially good at games like Animal Crossing.

I’ll probably still get it.

My favorite thing about corporate America is the expectation that I provide immediately while also making sure I am super patient waiting on inquiries I have out to others.

It makes me want to march into the sea.

Daemon Eater :: Game Books :: IPR Indie Press Revolution (IPR) is a direct sales network of quality independent publishers, dedicated to bringing you the best of small press tabletop roleplaying and storytelling games.

Not sure what #TTRPG you’re using to unleash unspeakable horrors upon your players next?

False. You know exactly what game that is, and it’s #DaemonEater.

It’s got apocalyptic catastrophes, unknowable Eldritch horrors, and a sense of dread that will make you yearn for the next session.

Dumpsters were thrown. The brief encounter with Sweetums ran its course. Discussion of Demogorgon anatomy happened in a way that will haunt me for years.

What’s not to love?

When grassroots candidates rely on small donors and volunteers while super PACs flood elections with money, the choice becomes clear: oligarchy or democracy. Campaigns powered by people must mobilize early, organize relentlessly, and prove that public participation still matters.

Turns out I was lying and things got so very cursed. Oops.

The River Scouts find themselves face-to-face with The Peddler, whose curses have plagued them for over a year now.

The stage is set for a hell of a season finale in a way that #CryptidCreeks is uniquely able to deliver.

What a damn good time that session was to act as Navigator. #TTRPG

I noticed a lot of people are struggling to get started, so I made a *simplified* checklist on how to get this party rolling if you've only got 30 minutes to spare:

Powering through the day, exhausted, because tonight continues the season finale of my #CryptidCreeks game.

Things are about to get even more deeply cursed. Unless you’re one of my River Scouts reading this, in which case that’s a joke and everything is going to be sunshine and not Eldritch at all.

Deep-cleaning the fridge today because I’ve been meaning to do so for weeks and finally clawed out the needed time to make that happen.

Little victories.

I’m admittedly a bit baffled that I’ve had to block a couple folks who had followed me recently who also proudly display that they β€˜create’ using AI.

I have been very vocal with my disgust in ALL use of AI in its current form as it is unethical and harmful to the environment and communities. Shoo.

50 pushups on a whim yesterday have translated to a reasonably pissed off core today.

Progress is still progress, I suppose.

Today I learned of the existence of KFC-themed jelly beans and I find myself overwhelmed with the desire to unmake reality.

One of 3’s favorite toys to play with at my grandma’s house is the Anastasia movie tie-in toy train set from Burger King.

It’s the blend of bits of my childhood and seeing the joy he gets from it visiting my grandma that makes it special.
