What a great question! Hands down, aside from some good 'ol senbei (Japanese rice crackers), the snack I try and have on hand is Black Thunder. It's a little chocolate bar with cookie bits in it and wildly addictive. Many good flavors as well.
Thank you for your time. Thank you for your attention. Thank you for your support, no matter what form it takes. I hope you like it and stick around or are at least entertained for a bit in this world that can be a touch too dark sometimes. Now, let's tell some stories, shall we?
From concept to launch this took about 4 months to put together. I had a lot of wonderful help from a lot of wonderful people (such as @mleelunsford.com, artist), learned a bunch of new skills, and I am silly proud of what I've put together here. Now, hopefully, it's something WE can make.
I love TTRPGs, they have provided me sanctuary, safety, and a retreat when I needed. They have given me friends, family, stories, and solace. They help me keep connection with loved ones a world away. TTRPGs have, in a literal way, saved my life. I hope this love shines through my work.
If you will allow me to get personal for a bit here. These past few years have been... unstable and look to continue to be. Some of it bad, some of it good, all of it my responsibility. I wanted to build something to help give me some stability while providing something (I hope) useful and fun!
For launch (and folks hitting the Patreon for the first time) you can get access to three articles and three videos, for free, in the Intro and Free Stuff collection. I wanted people to be able to see what I was building and it cost nothing for folks to decide to support or not.❤️🔥
Contained within are articles and videos speaking and writing on various concepts in the Tabletop Roleplaying Game space. Come join me as I talk about the importance of Session Zero, the skill of setting expectations, and the concept of The Table. (If I could throw confetti here, I would).
Brother man, no hyperbole, the best I have ever had in my life. Sanuki Udon ENYA in Takushima city.
This has genuinely been one of the funniest and lost wholesome interactions I have had on social media. Made me smile and shake my head all day, you absolute asshats. Thank you. Fuck you.
Do I need to drive 6 hours round trip to buy an exclusive Pikachu Plush holding a bowl of Udon?
Reason 85,000 on why I love @gailsimone.bsky.social . Also, Astrotrain.
And because I know you perverts are going to ask. Go ahead, grab a look you dirty birds.
A little afternoon deck tweaking, as a treat. Come, my Goblins, let us ride!
One World Under Doom has been one of the greatest story archs I have ever read in comics. It will have a special place in my heart up there with Infinity Gauntlet and Blackest Night / Brightest Day.
Sometimes, when you forget to bring the handle for your coffee grinder, you gotta get creative.
