If you see this, post your fictional mentor: It's two people, actually. It's a difficult balancing act, but both would remind me that easy ain't the point.
Ah, much better! I need to tidy up the beard a bit but otherwise I think I'm in good shape for the summer heat. I can feel the cool air on my scalp and I don't have strands of hair in my face all the time. Perfect.
When I went to pick up my package, I swung by the hair products aisle and grabbed a new set of clippers. So enjoy this one last photo of me with long hair and beard; the beard is getting a trim and the hair it goes buhbye.
Luckily the migraine stopped persisting so I was able to get to the post office before this got shipped back and I would have to pay the ADHD tax. It's a good looking game book, I can't wait to dig in to it more. Thanks, @greenroninpub.bsky.social!
Today I've been back in the office for the first time in a while. The day is best summarized by "oof". But have a proof of life pic, even though I'm not feeling the lively right now.
A good mail day! Backed Ataage Agindaasonan by @giigidomikinaak.bsky.social and the decks arrived today, safe and sound. Can't wait to play this with some folks and learn some Ojibwe.
Hadn't checked my mail in a bit so I'm not sure when it arrived, but intrigued to take Dungeon Wilds by @goblinsandgardens.bsky.social out for a spin! Love a deck of cards with weird little guys, suitable for this game and also other solo TTRPGs needing a deck of cards.
Well it's Friday and somehow April? Seems fake. But have a belated proof of life pic. This is from last week when we were getting snowed upon; forecast seems to be trending toward some sort of Spring, however slowly. Nice is optional, but always be kind. Allons-y!
It's here! Somewhere in there is an easy chair, stool, and bed frame. I just have to find them! And build them. And move them into place. Okay, rest first.
...of last year's phones up for auction. So I bid, and I won. Meet my new pocket computer, the Motorola Edge 2025. Now I need to grab a case and swap the SIM card over, then see where I can donate my old phone.
Mail day! Received my copy of Deadline! from the @wanderers-tome.bsky.social crowdfunding and I can't wait to dig in. Normally the fact that Canada Post crammed the envelope into a mailbox obviously too small for the package would bum me out, but for a game about newspapers the bend sort of works.
I feel like being perceived today for the first time in a while, so here is proof of life. Allons-y!
I feel like I've been leaning negative, so let's fix that. Hit me!
My new work spot. I'll do some proper cable management in the morning, for now I need to recover spell slots.
Finished the chair an hour ago, moved on to the desk. Pictures coming after I take a break, then move everything into place.
I guess the good side of my life crumbling a bit is I forget wonderful little items like this are coming and I get a surprise. Check out Feast of a Sphinx if you can, and luxuriate in the work of Sofia Ramos, @evlynmoreau.bsky.social and @satelitesnaturales.bsky.social! #ttrpg
They ask me, "Is it goin' good in the garden?" Say, "I'm lost, but I beg no pardon" Up on the dice but low on the cards I try not to talk about how it's harder now Can I get a mirror side-stage? Looking sideways at my own visage, gettin' worse
Some pretty cool stuff in the silent auction! If you're stopping by, check it out.
We're all set up and games are running for Worldbuilders YEG down @pemetawe.bsky.social in support of Nekem! Come down and check out our silent auction of ttrpg goodies!
Skyrealms of Jorune, back in the '80s. Still a traditional game of its time, mechanically, but thematically was one of the first games I encountered that played against the "murder hobo" idea of adventurers; your goal was public service.
But anyway, here's a proof-of-life photo. I packed my clippers so I may have to live with the beard getting long for a while.
I've tried and struggled to keep up with these in previous years, but possible that was a skills issue. So let's give #RPGaDAY2025 a shot! I'll keep everything in this thread for tidiness.
Crossed the Rainbow Bridge a while back, but this is my best boy Silvius. I wish you comfort from the pain.💜
Hey, anyone who thinks turning an actual internment camp into a game scenario is not welcome in any ttrpg space I occupy. Fuck all the way off @lextenebris.bsky.social and take your shitty AI "art" with you.
CW: picture of food Update: Yeah, I think that will do nicely.
