I've been getting into ARCs recently (Advance Reader Copy). If you're interested in my reviews for upcoming books, check out my Storygraph page: app.thestorygraph.com/user_reviews...

Off to Cambridge for a wedding and catching up with some old friends! ❤️ What are your plans this weekend?

I spent the entire weekend with a nasty cold 😭 but at least last week I got to enjoy the sunshine as I went for a solo day trip to connect with nature and recenter myself before the big announcement on Friday! ❤️

I was asked by @honkyconky.bsky.social to revisit a very old commission piece I did of High Rollers' @maraholmes.bsky.social and was more than happy to be able to celebrate trans joy this way!

So sorry for no @highrollersdnd.bsky.social today folks. I've picked up a nasty bug over the weekend (typical!) and both feel awful and don't want to infect the rest of the team. So we've had to cancel todays episode. :(

✨Our queen @maraholmes.bsky.social is here and she is here to stay! A new era has begun!✨ Theatrics aside, I'm so happy for you Mara. I hope you'll keep living your best life and never stop chasing your dreams. Thank you for all the amazing things you do. Truly a beautiful gorgeous woman you are 💗💖

I cannot begin to express my gratitude and how just… incredibly supported I feel since coming out yesterday. I was scared and worried but feel so hopeful now. I can’t reply to everyone personally, it’s just so so much! But thank you, thank you, thank you! ❤️❤️ ~Mara

Hi friends~ Personal announcement time! You may have noticed I've changed my name/profiles across social media and other channels, and that is because I have decided (after a long period of exploration) to transition and live solely as Mara (She/Her) from now on. <3

"Yohohohohohoho. Yohohohohohoho. Gather up all of the crew. It's time to ship out Bink's Brew." 2 episodes into One Piece Live Action S2 and it's incredible. It's honestly such a good adaptation, keeping the heart and energy of the original but making strong narrative/cinematic choices to benefit.

Out now on my YouTube Channel is an epic video detailing my incredible experience at Odysseus @ellariontales.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUvV... This is a real labour of love! Please share the video & like/comment etc! (photos by Luka Pajukanta & Tuomas Puikkonen)

A very productive day, working on prototypes & polishing up the new 5e Subclasses we've announced thus far for Altheya; The Dragon Empire! (£432,000!). Worked on Warlock, Paladin & Monk today! It feels SO good to get my creative spark back, after so long of personal hardships and burnout. 💖

Valentines can be a hard day for a lot of us. Whether you have been single for a long time, recently divorced or split up, or still carrying love for someone who moved on. Trust me, I know how awful it can feel today. <3 But please, try not to be sad, bitter or jealous.

Drew one of my favourite moments from @highrollersdnd.bsky.social Aerois! It was such an epic part of the final arc! #HighRollersDnD #Aerois #fanart #dnd

Daisy dimension door-ing Xantheus away was such an incredible moment 😭😍 @highrollersdnd.bsky.social #HighRollers #HighRollersFanArt #DnD #FanArt

Our next incredible #BHM table, The Bleeding Script, is a one-shot of @darkerhue.bsky.social's Harlem Unbound, an official setting for @chaosium.bsky.social Call of Cthulhu! Catch us live this Friday the 13th at 8p EST. All proceeds support #SadGirlsClub. twitch.tv/tbhalflings

Friends in the TTRPG sphere, if you are invited onto a project and there is: no contract, no structure, no deadline and you have been brought on while things are still being figured out: do not do the work until you have those things. Signed, a freelancer who has been shafted many times!

I love it when my very sick Mum, who is in hospital, tells me she needs to talk to me later and then proceeds not to read her messages or answer my various calls at said "later". Hoping she just fell asleep early, or has left her phone in her bag and not checked it.

Took some time to draw @kirsty.yogscast.com @zylus.yogscast.com and @rythian.yogscast.com 's wonderful characters from the Glimpse of Shadow mini series ran by the wonderful @sherlockhulmes.bsky.social !

GM Announcement! Join the writer of Sail the Oceans Queer, @lalionnecosplay.bsky.social - our GM for this swashbuckling adventure on the high seas! We’re setting sail February 20th, 7PM GMT over on Twitch. We’ll also be fundraising for AKT, who help LGBTQ+ young people experiencing homelessness.

Thank you so much to everyone who has sent their love/support. It's very much appreciated. <3 I'm doing okay, looking after myself and trying to talk to/see Mum as much as I can. That's the focus atm, my big Feb plans, birthday etc, can wait. <3

Quick update as a lot of my personal streams/projects are disrupted atm. No birthday stream/subathon next week either. TLDR: my mum is not very well at all and it’s a difficult time right now

No stream today sadly (and sorry for missing Thursday as well!) having a very emotional day today and behind on a lot of work related things and need to catch up. Likewise delaying Subathon till my birthday on the 10th as I have personal and work things to sort out first. ❤️

Seeing the GM screen art for our Altheya; The Dragon Empire Kickstarter (Feb 16th!!) and getting a full view of the capital city is awesome. Really feels like this world is coming to life with this book!! rollandplaypress.com/highrollers #ttrpg #dnd

If you missed the first episode of my The One Ring 2e Micro-Campaign last week, the first episode is now out on my Youtube Channel here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZ_h... Next LIVE episode, tonight at 7pm UK time on my Twitch! @kirsty.yogscast.com @rythian.yogscast.com @zylus.yogscast.com
