Saving Dictionaries to json files in Apple Shortcuts is a dangerous road to go down.

Aaaargh!!! What good are little hummus cups without little bags of baby carrots???

Remember when you could find an orchid that wasn't a Phalaenopsis? They're nice and all, but I miss the part of the orchid craze when other species were more commonly available. I had a Dendrobium of some sort like 30 years ago and it was lovely. I'm taking recommendations for where I should shop.

Oh hey, social media still exists.

@derekmeinecke.bsky.social update your profile pic :P

If you're interested in learning to gamemaster and are headed to GenCon, Bringing Fire is offering a workshop where you get actual hands-on practice running a game, with coaches guiding and supporting you. More info, including links to register: bringingfire.com/academy/gm101

#TTRPGCommunity Anyone here active on Threads? Recently made an account for my campaign composer and I am hoping to find mutuals from here + cool TTRPG accounts to follow over there. Reply with a profile link so I can follow you there!

Bringing Fire’s GM Academy attempts to create a  “Community of Practice” through which novices can systematically learn through trial and error, and share their wisdom with other GMs. Our Head of Education described this quite eloquently here... give it a read! bringingfire.com/blog/a-commu...

Becoming a GM involves a particular kind of learning called “social learning” – basically, learning to do what you see other people doing.

One of the first lessons we teach in our GM101 sessions is the “Describe, Listen, Judge” cycle. DLJ is a comprehensive framework for understanding what a GM does, and a tool that helps diagnose and correct hiccups and miscommunication at the level of play. Let's break them down🧵

The indie TTRPG creator directory now has 197 profiles on it, which is just incredible. But it'd be a shame for it to stop there! Any chance of a signal boost folks? @ttrpgcommunity.bsky.social

TTRPGTech Spotlight: I’ve been playing with my Pixels (gamewithpixels.com) devkit and it is oh-so incredible! Pixels smart dice know what number they rolled, use bluetooth to share it to apps, have programmable lighting… and they look badass! Can’t wait for these to come to market.

I interviewed 100 GM’s while developing my campaign composer, Bringing Fire, and I loved every second of it. Here are 7 things I learned in doing so. Would love to hear your input!

The design thinking of @mattcolville.bsky.social 's MCDM team can best be described as "disruptive." The introduction of their game will be a #TTRPG revolution. https://youtu.be/0hR-lto4yro

With a predicted overnight low of 65°, and no significant rain forecast for nearly a week, I think #NYC finally just had the downpour that signifies the end of a month of ceaseless humidity and rain multiple times a day.

Hey, let's all just remember for a second just how f'ing good Melissa Etheridge is.

Every time I listen to M83 I think to myself “oh yeah, I should be listening to more M83!”

#TTRPGTech Spotlight Audio is a great way to bring immersion to a #TTRPG. I’ve been checking out https://ambientsphere.com 's prototype; I like how tuning parameters like mood, environment, and weather covers a lot of cases while still being fast and simple. Show them some love!

if you’re in the ttrpg space can you repost this so I can follow you

Hey, I'm Avery! I am building a creative tool that helps GMs write, prep, and run campaigns, with a focus on fostering a true #TTRPGTech ecosystem. bringingfire.com I would love to connect, and get GM feedback on the platform. Hit me up! #TTRPGIntro
