It's interesting that my Perseverance is so high when my Determination is so low 😅 It makes sense in the description though. Still, love that Kindness is #1 💗

Big green heart with the words "Kindness: No matter how many times I got hurt, I never let that make me cruel."
Kindness is 70%, Perseverance is 68%, Bravery Integrity and Justice are 66%, Patience is 21%, and Determination is 19%

Sooo I honestly thought I'd only get a couple of kids, or maybe none at all. I wasn't expecting this and now I'm so nervous that my stomach is doing summersaults 😅 Super excited, but so nervous!

Registration page for Tabletop Roleplaying Game Design for Kids by Lucky Newt Games that shows registration is officially full oh dear goodness I'm so nervous but here we are.

Finally got the chance to play Hive! I admit, it was a lot more fun than I expected. It's simpler than chess but with its own complications. Haven't played with any of the expansions though.

I just checked out Bookfinder and the roll tables it provides already gave me some great ideas for goodies and even a sidequest or 3 for my current campaign! You can find it here with over 30 other TTRPGs and tools in the Review Something Bundle: itch.io/b/3707/revie...

Papa Newt had fun painting my other nails to match XD

Nails painted with dye and a mess in the background.

We dyed Easter eggs tonight and I got a bit carried away 😅 Happy Easter to all who celebrate and happy spring/autumn to all who don't!

In all fairness, there was a second book I grabbed because I couldn't decide between the two but I think I'll return it with the wrapping tomorrow c.c I am *not* in the right headspace for it 😅

Book wrapped with hearts and the words Dark Romance, Thriller, Secrets, Artificial Intelligence

The book that was in the wrappings, Axe and Grind, by Taylor Hutton

And my blind date is.... The Peculiar Gift of July by Ashley Ream! I've never even heard of this book before but the synopsis looks really sweet 💕 I'll start on this tomorrow. Who knows? Maybe this will be a book I recommend for my own list of 100 Books to Read!

The book wrappings with the book it wrapped, The Peculiar Gift of July, next to it.

Mama Newt 🦎🎲@luckynewtgames· Feb 4

So I bit the bullet! I'm on my first ever Blind Date With a Book! Ignore the blue blob used to block out the name of the county and barcode :pl

Wrapped book with words Families, Pacific Northwest, and Magical Realism. Blue blob on top left of image to block out the county name and bar code for the book.

No new pictures. Where are you at mentally?

OMG MiniNewt asked me to print out the Wild Ones bookmarks by @magikyastudios.bsky.social for Valentine's Day and they look so cute! You can find them and a few of our own games in the Welcome to Indie TTRPGs bundle here: itch.io/b/3490/welco...

The 4 bookmarks from Wild Ones printed out and quick-trimmed for now, with the first page for Capricious Creatures and Lost Together.

I love MiniNewt's tastes! Her new unicorn tea strainer, in her favorite (Maneki-neko) cat teacup (mine but I let her use it for tea), on her favorite (Flamecraft) dragon coaster! Happy New Year everyone x3

It might sound strange, but now I want to make game mechanics *specifically* for running courtroom dramadies like these.

"More Dungeons and Dragons courtroom drama adventure seeds:
- The Sword of Evil's Bane has been claimed by multiple Chosen Ones, each citing equally plausible but mutually exclusive interpretations of the relevant prophecy.
- A family haunted by an evil ghost that's sworn to bedevil them unto the tenth generation have gone through an acrimonious divorce, and are now embroiled in a bitter custody dispute over the ghost - each side of the family wants the other to take it!
- A farmer is suing a tree for property damage caused by the tree's roots; the tree argues that, as the damage occurred prior to the tree's awakening by an itinerant druid, it cannot be held responsible, while the farmer states an obscure local case in which an axe was convicted of murder as precedence that sentience is immaterial to culpability."

We got our copy of Cvlt, a tricky trick-taking game by @long-tail-games.bsky.social and have had so much fun! So far we've played 2 and 4 players and it's crazy how different it get. Even when I came in last, it was great to see how risks taken by other players came together for them! 🔗👇

Cvlt with its score board, tokens, and some of my favorite cards.

We have a rare and gorgeous sunrise this morning :D

Sunrise over a small part of town. The sky has splashes of orange, red, and purple and highlights cirrus clouds. There are trees on either side of the foreground.

A few of my favorite pictures from the drive to and from SoCal. We drove because we couldn't afford plane tickets, but my goodness it was worth the experiences! #JourneyBeforeDestination

Sky full of rippling clouds over a sunset in Central California

Grass and trees covered in frost from a frozen fog in the Klamath Basin

Panama view of Diamond Peak in Oregon, complete with blue skies, a quiet lake, trees, and the mountain in the distance.

I don't even remember where I grabbed this picture but it's my mood most days so I made it my lock screen 😶‍🌫️

A lock screen that shows a cup of coffee at the top and progresses downward to reveal a black cat spilling out of the cup.

MiniNewt got the day off from school so decided to make us breakfast x3 Unicorn Salad is lettuce, baby carrots, grapes, and strawberries, and ranch dressing. I wouldn't recommend it, but I'm glad she had fun experimenting!

2. Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger First Thoughts I know the title, but I have no idea what this book is about. It's the only book that's on all 10 lists I cross-ref'ed though, so that counts for something. I'm having trouble starting this, but I have a big trip coming up, so that should change.

Without downloading any new pictures, where are you mentally?

Four stages of a mug: the first with coffee, the second with cat ears forming from the coffee, the third with the top part of a cat face poking out, and the fourth with a cat spilling out of the mug.

What happens when you give DND steroids and replace the rules so they have more anime-like effects? Exalted :D A mix of 1e and 2e is my favorite.

A giant bear-like creature fights a warrior with a giant daiklaive of orichalcum. Text reads "Exalted combat! This might take 100 dice, 20 minutes and 3 looks at the rulebook but it's going to end in awesome."

Mama Newt 🦎🎲@luckynewtgames· Oct 20

Oh why not?

"Get to know my game taste. For every like, I will post one game I love" with a small heart after it.
