Weirdly lovecraftian.

I think if I were to live in a different era, being a TV sitcom creator in the late 60’s/ early 70’s would have suited me well. “A guys buys a car and it’s his dead mom” or “an astronaut finds a genie in a lamp and she’s gorgeous” are things I could see myself saying in a professional context.

The fun thing about getting an upper and lower GI is they give you photos right then and there so you can see your insides. My colon drew compliments from the doctor, my esophagus looks like HR Giger was consulted on the design.

Instead of attending this event tomorrow a.m. pairing Chicken Cock Whiskey with a southern-style breakfast 10 minutes from my house, I’m scheduled to have an upper and lower GI performed. Truly life is a cruel trickster. checkout.square.site/merchant/ML9...

Drew a little #ttrpg thingie, a mushroom dragon. Maybe it's just that some dragons are made of fungi, or maybe myconids revived a dragon corpse and it got away from them. Either way, it's going to breathe a cloud of spores that will mess you up. Might have to write up a stat-block.

Aurora Borealis? More like Aurora BORINGalis! (Yeah, couldn’t see it from my house)

Boy I hope Congressional Democrats have spent the last 7 weeks planning a detailed daily exposure plan for #Epstein evidence implicating Trump and MAGA-world. A sort of Incriminating Evidence Advent Calendar, if you will.

Just saying this out loud to nobody in particular, but anyone with first-hand knowledge about #Epstein related matters, the window to be called a “whistleblower“ rather than a “co-conspirator” closes in 3…2….1….

I just stumbled onto “Law and Order:Toronto”, a spinoff from “Law and Order:Toronto-but-pretend-it’s-New-York”

Loving that billionaires bought and gutted entire news organizations to make sure left-leaning candidates couldn’t succeed, and instead they won pretty much everywhere at every level.

Andrew Coumo has been endorsed by John Whorfin. John Smallberries unavailable for comment.

Very happy to see in my beloved #ttrpg community LOTS of people volunteering to stand at the gates of the hobby and tell everyone else they’re having fun wrong. This is healthy and not in any way a bad thing.

I really need a reporter to ask Kristy Noem one important question: how can she still unhinge her jaw to eat babies without messing up the Botox treatments?

Officiated my niece’s wedding last weekend. It went extremely well, so now I’m really uncomfortable, as though the exact nature of how I fucked everything up hasn’t revealed itself yet.

#nokings in Gurnee, Illinois- excellent turnout, peaceful and joyful and loud. (Thanks to George Soros for providing lunch- the lobster was a touch overdone, but the foie gras was delightful)

Rumsflorch, noodles on the pitch. 4 waffles aggrieved, Ska compilation inevitable. #WhyIsBluskyShowingMeBirdingPostsFromTheUk #ImSureItWasLovely #butWowOutOfContextPostsCanBeSurreal

What I added to my #ttrpg campaign world Wiki recently: A major historical tragedy A list of possible plot hooks A flying luxury cruise ship A species inhabited by bees A cult who summon monsters into public places slimwiki.com/the-scattere...

Simple compromise- all original stories should be created by living directors, actors and crew. All sequels, prequels and remakes can be directed by, acted in and ideally viewed solely by AI.

Happy spooky month! #halloween #dragon

#shiptember double feature- a couple of lighter-than-air warships from my #ttrpg world I'm working on (it's a fantasy Star Trek with inhabited craters standing in for planets and Aeroships being used to explore them).

Sketch for my ttrpg campaign world, the Shattered Realms.

In Drievech, every 15 days fresh troops are sent to the front to relieve those manning the trenches. It is customary for returning troops to be greeted with a parade and celebration in their honor, put on by their families, sponsors and platoons soon to be rotated in. The dead are mourned, tales…

#Septopolis 24 Like most of the realms, Drievech didn’t know it HAD neighbors until the last decade or so. Since it’s acceptance into the Parliament of Realms, it’s neighbors have provided much needed supplies and reinforcements in their war against the undead, likely preventing the city’s fall…

I really should have tagged this for #wipwednesday

My #ttrpg campaign world pitch: an airless, deadly world pocked with countless craters, where air and warmth are trapped and life flourishes. For millennia, countless species and cultures lived in isolation in their craters, each thinking they were alone. Recently, bold explorers... #worldbuilding

#Shiptember An aeroship from Scattered Realms, the #ttrpg campaign world I'm chipping away at.

In fairness, this rapture prediction was not significantly worse than any of the previous rapture predictions

Putting this out in the universe… Wes Anderson’s Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime League

Still chipping away at a wiki for my campaign world, the Scattered Realms. Stop in and have a look and tell me here what you think. Lots of rabbit holes don't lead anywhere yet, but the framework is coming together. #dnd #ttrpg #worldbuilding slimwiki.com/the-scattere...

I’m going to miss Star Wars fandom. Instead, I’m going to get together every week with my #TTRPG friends and we’ll make up our own stories, where we’ll punch fascists instead of surrendering to them.

#Septopolis 14 For the surviving Vetelim holed up in the city of Drievech, food has for generations been simply a means for survival and little more. With their once-lush farmlands now battlefields, food is summoned by the clergy each morning, a nearly flavorless but nourishing bread eaten...

Wierd, my super- MAGA workplace suddenly got real quiet about Charlie Kirk’s assassination, did I miss some news or something?

Work-in-progress of my latest Halloween decoration, a new animated dragon. Mouth opens and closes, eyes go back and forth, and I’m adding a helper fan in the throat for a smoke machine.

For those of you who have followed my humble efforts on the #Mythaugust and #Septopolis writing prompts- I spent the morning gathering all my postings into a Slimwiki, which I can't recommend enough- it's a great way to organize and filter your thoughts! slimwiki.com/the-scattere...

I’m chronologically somewhere between “I need one of those Days-of-the-Week pill cases” and “I need a much larger Days-of-the-Week pill case”

I’m enjoying a modest boost of new followers, either because I’ve been posting on the #Septopolis fantasy city-building challenge , or perhaps because I mentioned “anal probes” in a different thread. Either way, welcome!

so I weigh 170 lbs on a good day and i just tried to keep pace on whiskies with a friend who is a bona fide viking and did I mention I love you?

Here's a clip of the test run of the Beholder I built for my outdoor Halloween decorations. My motorized Mind Flayer is behind him #halloween #animatronics #dnd

#MythAugust In my writing about my cosmology I've avoided speaking in concrete terms about the gods of my world. Everything is "the people of so-and-so believe" and "legend says", rather than stating anything as objective truth. It stays true to my idea, but wiggle-words take up a lot of characters!

#MythAugust Day 9 What Finnea represents changes over the course of the year. In the spring she embodies curiosity, playful exuberance, vitality and joy. This aspect of Finnea is favored by the windwagoneers who sail their vessels through the sea of tall grass, who pray to her for favorable winds.

I’ve been doing posting a lot of ttrpg writing content, but I don’t want to overlook the fact that talentless techbros broke the internet, our president is a felonious, low-class buffoon and the worst child sex trafficker arrested in my lifetime has been moved to a medium security Fuddruckers.

#MythAugust 5: perhaps someday the faiths of the scattered realms will settle into a hierarchy, but in the current Age of Enlightenment and strife there is only chaos. Ancient faiths are reinventing themselves, old faiths are re-emerging, and the fundamental nature of faith is in tatters (more)

#MythAugust #WritingCommunity #Fantasy #WritingPrompts day 4: factions between the Gods in the Scattered Realms. The various pantheons of the scattered realms didn’t even acknowledge the possibility of one another existing until recently, so there are no long-standing factions among them (more)

My milkshake brings all the timeshare investors to the currency exchange, which I’m not sure what to do with

Fellow appliance shoppers- If you’re in the refrigerator aisle, don’t bother trying to pretend you’re just browsing. The salesperson knows damn well you have an inert box of rapidly spoiling dairy products at home.

@chaostorgo.bsky.social Uriah Heep, MST3K and Manos Hands of Fate all referenced at the top of your profile? That’s an automatic follow!

Second day with Swimmers Itch, my level of discomfort is somewhere between “Holy fuck this itches” and “I pray for Death’s Comforting Embrace”

God: here’s a fun idea- what if, when you go swimming in a lake on a hot day, occasionally you get attacked by invisible bugs that make your entire body itch for days until you pray for death’s sweet release?

If anyone is curious what Swimmer’s Itch looks like, voila! Also, Happy Birthday to me.
