Last day at Neb Comic Con running a game of MARVEL Multiverse RPG. The X-Men made it to Sanctuary with one loss. Gambit was captured and taken away by the Sentinels! #ttrpg
Got to see Longhair Deadpool and Inspector Gadget cosplays today. Then in my best Stan Lee I gave the “Welcome True Believers” to my MARVEL Multiverse RPG players today.
DCC at GenCan’t, our annual local FLGS gameday event to keep our FOMO in check. My character Horask met his end by becoming charmed, commanded to slay my companions and then breaking free of thrall just in time to get a few arrows in the back! 💀💀💀. Ugh. The death stamp fed three times today! #ttrpg
I’m envisioning some special events for my local conventions and I’m looking to these two books. I like a Demon Lords Battle Royale and maybe one chapter from the Vecna: Eve of Ruin as a one slot event. Two of my DM cadre are 3D printing minis for them.
Book one down! I enjoyed it! Going to pay it forward and find this book a good new home..then get the next one! Glurp! Glurp! Glurp! 🐈⬛👑🍩😳🦶‼️
Stomach’s on the mend. Thank the Tom Yum, that and Mtn Dew always settle the stomach well. Pressed forward on some editing revisions and delighted in seeing my work on both Gencon and GameHoleCon schedules.
Stomach issues today, but got some edits started, feedback questions turned around for GenCon @goodmangames.bsky.social events, watched @jamesintrocaso.bsky.social latest CROWS stream and helped a mentee posture for their next project (“read the style guide; prep your template while you wait.”) #dnd
So, I’ve got a new solo play diversion. Wolf-Boy EG’s, Solus Lost.Going to go drifting through the void; and try to find my way back home.
Blue Skies all around me, but it is hot asf!!! I’m at O’Con Expo 2026 just wrapping up my D&D demo for two players. 🙂
Hawking the Greys; editing through the blessed emm dash haze; sketched up pictographs, all kinds of fun! Lock’ it up for LoG GHC ‘26 …I’m Thariz-Done!
From cleaning up edits to cleaning up garb! Laundry 🌍 and Fantasy 🌍s collide! 💥💥 Now where can I find a gato like Princesa 🍩? D&Dealing with life on a Movin2theMaxx Monday!
Definitely no freedom of fresh air today. Fahhh😷k.
While I try to muffle and endure as much of the 🚀🔴💥🎇🎆 as I can, I was reminded that today marks 10 years of bringing D&D Org Play to my LGS and local conventions as a DM and events organizer. Not sure where the 🆙ward is here, but I’m still here, enjoying it and trying to be a good game steward.
Got a 🧨jump 💥on the ⌨️ to create in The 🌏 of Oranth while learning that myself and my fellow creative peers on @ghostfiregaming.bsky.social Grim Hollow recieved an ENNIE nomination for Best Setting. NGL. That feels good. This creative cabal put together something succinctly stirring in Etharis.
I flipped this omelette perfectly and the avocado toast was spot on. Can I do it two mornings in a row?
Me: F@rk yeah! All those stat blocks are transcribed! Also Me: :Realizes four stat blocks weren’t from the SRD so have to find another creature that fits and write it in: 🤬 But hey! Won 68cents on Best Guess Live today.
Presented events for FREE RPG Day, prepped D&D Encounters and DCC for next week and finished narrative draft of my 1st solo-authored Epic tonight. The RPG gods got their fill from me this weekend. No mas. Bed.
The day started with morning matinee of Supergirl, went to office and some addressing stuff, back to the casa for more GenCon wordies, redress my bandage, walk and curls and then prep for FREE RPG events. That was a full Friday.
One of the World’s Most Okayest DMs and Adventure Designers had to go in for general surgery to remove skin tags on my neck and face. Still made it to the office for my 1st visit, and grabbed some pity-me lumpia and pork belly rice buns at restaraunt 2 minutos from my place.
There you go. There’s a snapshot of a few pages of One of the World‘s Most Okayest Adventure Designers ideas on paper. Somewhere in there is the finish line to my most daunting freelance project of the year, so far.
D&D Encounters @thegameshoppe.bsky.social Ep2. Mist Hunters ⏰! track the 2nd shadow 🐦⬛, to Darkon’s secret police haven. Rescued folks, 🔥to leechy coffins w/loss💀😔, lured out the possessed po-po chief turned 🧛🏻🦑flayer boss! 2bad, so sad, baddie de💀th 💋d, raven 🪦too, get back into The Mists! Level 🆙
The last two CROWS flee the Blood Library, but not after jamming a door with magic, upturning a laboratory, and ignoring the pleas of an imprisoned being as they get while the getting’s good! Bear-ly got home.
Well when your One of the 🌎s Most Okayest DMs and Adventure Designers and your 🧠 is jelly, you 🔚⌨️day and do fun-fun nerdy nighttime reading! Diagnostic delves, DCC dungeon prep, delving with Carl and 👸🍩🐈 and @felicia.day graphic novel are all great 🌆 dopamine hits!
Falling forward through what freelancing #ttrpg commissions I’ve had has finally gained me MDV Counseling Creative, LLC. Now to build the rest of it. I celebrated by letting someone else cook the Thai food and bring it to my place.
