On par with how this year is shaping up but anyway I'm open to freelance editing/writing and narrative consulting projects so if you'd like to work with an award-winning editor & nonfic writer w/25+yrs in news media, speculative fiction, and cultural criticism HMU.

A neighbor got abducted this morning. By the time we noticed and ran outside, it was too late. ICE was already driving away. Merry fucking Christmas. I feel so helpless.

We were there! Such a great show. ☺️

Came home from a doctor appointment to tear gas in my neighborhood. There was a raid, a protest, and excessive force used to disperse the crowd a block from my house, all while I was gone. 😬 But also, fuck 🧊.

Last chance to turn it off. On Monday, November 3rd, Microsoft will start using your LinkedIn data for AI training. And remember, you're opted in by default. To toggle it off 👉 Account - Settings & Privacy > Data privacy > Data for Generative AI Improvement.

Made it to our new home yesterday! Now to wait 1-2 more weeks for all our stuff. 😅

And we're off to Minnesota. Goodbye Seattle. You were our favorite home yet. 💜

Still can't believe last night was real. #QuangleQuest was absolutely amazing. Being in the same space as the Dimension 20 crew & thousands of fans was an absolute dream. Y'all are gonna love it when they upload this episode. 😂

Only two days left in our sale! The shop will then be closed for a little bit while we move to Minnesota, so get your orders in now!

Last night, we had our final in person D&D session before the move. Feelings were had. 💔 Also it ended with my character's dad finding her after she ran away years ago, so HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO LIVE WITH THIS CLIFFHANGER FOR MONTHS 😩

It's been 7 years since we arrived in the PNW, and in less than 3 weeks, we leave it. 😭 I'm not ready to say bye to the mountains, the Pacific, the people. I DO look forward to our new rental (a HOUSE with a YARD--for less than we pay here lol), but this move is gonna be a hard one. 💔

Sale time for your #ttrpg and #dnd loving pets! We've got everything in there at 25% off. Dress your fur babies up in style!

I don't want to move all the things, so help me clear some inventory! 25% off!

🍵 RARE JOB OPENING 🍵 🫖 Our Seattle café-store is seeking a full-time closing shift tea server. Beginning wage at $21/hr with wage review at 30 days and annual raises thereafter.

Moving announcement! Hubby here is now a board game producer for Fantasy Flight Games. 🎉 Unfortunately, it means we have to leave Seattle 😭 and move to Minneapolis by August. Definitely some mixed feelings in this household. 😅 Help me know what's cool there? (Homegirl does not enjoy winter 🙃)

We hit our first stretch goal! We have just over two days left, so make sure you snag yourself a cube. I'd love to hit our next stretch goal with @morganeilish.bsky.social as well! @deficitdragons.bsky.social www.backerkit.com/c/projects/a...

We are $75 away from hitting our first stretch goal! I'm escaping to the wilderness for the weekend, but I'd love to come back to not only this stretch goal but also the next being unlocked! Let's get both @tuckerauthor.bsky.social & @morganeilish.bsky.social's adventures in the book!

We fully funded Lazlo's and are well on our way towards our first stretch goal: an adventure by @tuckerauthor.bsky.social! Help us get there by backing today: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/a...

We fully funded a few days ago with a sudden surge of backers. Elated, I was wondering where the sudden bit came from. @enworldrpg.bsky.social talked about my project on their recent news bit. I want to say thanks to Morrus, Jessica and PJ for the shout-out. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/a...

When I was 5 or 6, Mom told me you were more likely to get hit by lightning than win the lottery. I interpreted this as if you play the lottery, you'll get hit by lightning. I was horrified when I found out my friend's parents played and thought they would die. 😂

We're getting so close to funding!

Can you solve the puzzle to be able to face Lazlo? Can your players? No worries, the adventure includes ways to play if your players aren't the puzzle cube solving sort. We want to make sure you can play even if the prop just winds up a tchotchke. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/a...

Hey all! I am currently available for work. I'm a freelance Voice Director, Casting Director, Podcast Producer, Writer and TTRPG designer. My previous clients have included Doctor Who and Marvel Entertainment. My rates are on a sliding scale for indies. Want to work together? Message me!

Huge news on Patreon! Because of the Apple v. Epic ruling, they are not only dropping the 30% Apple Store charge on the iOS app, they are also halting the move to subscription billing for all creators - which would have affected creators like me, who use a "per video" structure than monthly.

Due to federal budget cuts, the library I volunteer at is facing massive funding issues. They are the only library in WA offering free audio & braille books and magazines to patrons with low vision, blindness & reading disabilities. They have a fundraiser to help: www.wagives.org/organization...

Kay was such a delight to chat with! Check out the episode and then go check out the amazing shows that @chaoticwholeso.me produces!

We're over halfway to our initial funding goal! Help us keep the momentum going!

Lazlo's Cubed Crypt!

Happy Friday! Don't forget to back Lazlo's Cubed Crypt so we can all get one of these nifty map cubes. 👀 www.backerkit.com/c/projects/a...

More art! I wrote a Weird Al-themed Side Quest this month for my patrons based on The Saga Begins, and here's the accompanying map! Lots of little fun weirdos in a different art style I'm still tinkering with. #ttrpg #fantasyart #cartoonvibes #battlemap #digitalart #starwars #babyyoda

I've done entirely too much doom scrolling today, so here's a photo of a very good pupper looking over a cliff as the sun sets on Whidbey Island.

Backers get an option of a black & white cube, or one in color! Plus we have a poll for Backers to see which color option we create! Full color or borders for a more subtle look? Check out Lazlo's Cubed Crypt by @deficitdragons.bsky.social www.backerkit.com/c/projects/a...

We're already almost a third of the way to our initial funding goal! And we really want to hit our stretch goals, as it will allow us to bring in some amazing additional writers. Help us get there!

The Hasbro OGL fiasco. The fragmentation of social media. The onslaught of AI slop. The ever-evolving threat of tariffs. Attempted rollbacks of safety nets. It's a minor miracle any small-time creators are left in this industry. Send best wishes to a #ttrpg creator today because times are tough.

Yay, we're back! 🎉

What should we name these prints? Leaning towards "Circle of the Claw" for the Druid pattern, but definitely still musing on a name for the Bard. 🤔

Seattle understands what's at stake here

We see you all! Incredible turnout so far across the country — current estimates put participation at around 750,000 and counting! More accurate numbers are still coming in, with many events yet to begin.

Saturday and we're still chugging along on that job hunt. My skills: Event Management/Planning Community Engagement/Management Personal/Executive Assistant TTRPG Design Human Resources Grant Management LI: www.linkedin.com/in/basil-w-886191202

We still have some of these cute Easter #pet accessories left! Or you can snag yourself one of our #dnd inspired prints. Help out a disabled girl and dress your pets up at the same time!

It's a heist! The March Side Quest map and adventure is ready to go for members of our Patreon. The party is tasked to infiltrate an innocuous inn to steal from a merchant, but this inn is more dangerous than it appears. #battlemap #ttrpg #

More pet accessories coming soon! 🐶🐱 We just ordered fabric samples of our next two #dnd class inspired patterns. We've already got DM, Warlock, Fighter, and Rogue. What do you think is coming next? 👀
