As the Long Dark approaches here in Seattle, there are many things folks do to prepare to fight the lack of light. I've expanded the size of my colorful backlighting, and picked up some new @fridaytea.com tea. How about you?

Get yourself some snacks and join us Wednesday at 5pm PT for an amazing and ridiculous and awesome charity #dnd game! I might be playing the best Bard subclass ever!

Not in the PNW? We're extending the celebration into a ONE WEEK SALE the likes of which we have never offered! Take 15% off the entire site at www.fridaytea.com with code "Happy15" through 10/6!

Join us tonight to celebrate 15 years of Friday Afternoon Tea! From 4-8pm, we'll be throwing a deliciously festive quinceañera at our Seattle flagship store featuring tres leches cake, lotería, and a piñata!

Tonight's episode is starting a little bit later tonight due to travel fun! Tune in at 8:30pm Central for Shadows Over Baldur's Gate as the party fights the Abyssal Tiefling Mazekith and an infernal Steel Watch! twitch.tv/crithitchronicles #ttrpg #dice #baldursgate3 #twitch #dnd #gaming

If you need a little bit of happy nature and art to help with your day, my partner is streaming his squirrels and birds while working on some commissions on the side. Because sometimes we need a bit of joy to help inspire us to take on the next challenge. <3

I'm trying to avoid stress eating. So I guess I'm stress feeding the squirrels and birds now? #birb #stellarjay

I'm happy with these emoji!

🎶 Take a look, it's in a book 🎶 🥹 After nearly 20 years... Reading Rainbow is returning to motivate, help, and encourage kids to become avid readers with new episodes, new friends, new projects, and of course... new books! Make sure to follow the rainbow 📚🌈 #FollowTheRainbow

We have four Steller's Jay that frequently visit our bird/squirrel feeder, and they're very good about keeping watch for each other and patiently waiting to take turns. Which is good as they are super picky about what shelled peanuts they're going to HORK down!

Save the date for October 8 as we play Kids on Bikes in the City of the Black Rose! Join @jeremycobb1.bsky.social @thecandacemarie.bsky.social @gillianfoxglove.bsky.social Oscar Montoya and @zabracus.bsky.social as we raise funds for Medical Aid for Palestinians! (cont)

My lunch was spent making difficult phone calls to try and help people, so now I'm rewarding myself with a funny picture of fruit rolling a natural 1 on stealth and eating a piece of chocolate cake.

Guess who's baaaack! I feel so honored and excited to play among these amazing people again. Its going to be great, so save the date! 💚🙏🥳

Orkira Plays BG3 is off for one more week, but there IS a new @playersandbook.com today! Join @dcimmerian.bsky.social @latiajacquise.com @dreamwisp.bsky.social @goblinkatie.com & I as we hide because we might be...FUGITIVES?! We've live today at 3pm PT on twitch.tv/playersandbook ! #dnd #ttrpg

What an absolutely wonderful day to spend with @lauren-urban.com - it has been the greatest adventure!

While Shadows Over Baldur's Gate is dark tonight, this is an excellent chance for y'all to catch up! Our episodes are available on our YouTube playlist! You can watch us encounter Mazekith all the way back at the very beginning to prep for our epic fight with him next week!

For our 10th anniversary @lukemckay.bsky.social and I did something we've wanted to do for a very long time...dress up in armor and go take pictures! After weeks of planning, saving, and DIY to make it possible, we have a ton of images to look through and edit! But here's a little teaser...

Ten years ago today I married my best friend. So much has happened in the last decade, and I've celebrated the good and survived the bad with him at my side. I couldn't ask for a better partner in life. I love you @lukemckay.bsky.social so much. Happy anniversary, and many many more. 🩵

Doing research for a new TTRPG character and y'all...grasshoppers are really pretty!

It's Hispanic Heritage Month in the US & w/the buzz for CR campaign 4, I'd love to invite you all to join us in Alma on our Tales Unrolled show✨ See what those who are watching have to say about our story that blends pan-Latin American folklore into dungeons and dragons ✨

How do the Second Chances handle awkward parties? Not well... They handle battle MUCH better on Shadows Over Baldur's Gate on @crithitchronicles.com with @kujoplaysgames.bsky.social @critbard.com @lauratutu.bsky.social @encountersmith.bsky.social @pjmegaw.bsky.social & me! #dnd #bg3 #ttrpg

Before I start work in the morning I try and spend a little bit of time outside. Lately that includes making friends with the Stellar's Jays, and I love their happy little hops as they come over to pick up some almonds! #birb

Adamantine Chef is back on FRIDAY! 🔪 Join @philistulok.bsky.social @jeremycobb1.bsky.social @supergeekmike.bsky.social @dmsteve.bsky.social @sunnyblondy.bsky.social and me as we battle it out in the kitchen and raise funds for Trevor Project! 🌈

This weekend I attended an outdoor wedding where the bride was delivered to the grassy area where the ceremony was in a very loud muscle car. Now all that REALLY matters is if the bride & groom got what THEY wanted at the wedding and were happy. But I can't decide if this was awesome or ridiculous.

Today I am out of town for a wedding, so there's no Orkira Plays BG3 and I'll miss today's Bonus Action for Players and Book. But I hope y'all have a lovely Sunday, and here's some nice tall trees from some pictures we took yesterday for a special thing. Details soon to come...

STEP ONE. FINISH FAMILY DINNER. STEP TWO. FIND FIREWORKS? STEP THREE. FUCK SHIT UP. Let's jump back into Shadows over Baldur's Gate, our BG3 x D&D Actual Play campaign! Lots to do so let's get to it! // twitch.tv/crithitchronicles!

🎶 In your dice, I see the doorway to a thousand dungeons 🎶 #dnd #dndart #comic #ttrpg

@roadblock.bsky.social Happiest of birthdays!! May today be filled with friends, fun and food!! And probably lots of fantastic board games, golf, and a video game or TTRPG or two! Maybe a whole weekend of it all! You deserve it!!

Everyone deserves a #TinyChonk to be there cheering them on to help make it through the day.

Have fun while supporting mental health in gaming by starting off your Pathfinder Second Edition journey with the Pathfinder Primer Humble Bundle, sponsored by yours truly and Take This! buff.ly/vbwdaVj

Tired of sending your money to studios, networks, and streaming giants who cave to fascists? Watch and support TTRPG actual plays, especially those creating stories that move, comfort, and inspire us

The shopping center across the street has had their fire alarm go off several times. It's VERY loud and amplified from bouncing off the buildings. So I've got a headache and worried about those folks, while trying to do my job talking about board games & TTRPG stuff. Apparently today is a metaphor.

Thank you @dndbeyond.com for sending me the new Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set Heroes of the Borderlands! This chonky box is awesome! Watch me get exited about art, bite sized chunks, cards, goats, and new folks using this to make getting into #dnd easy! #ttrpg

AP producers are a blessing, and should be included in all the same safety checks and planning as everyone else.

Usually the Stellar's Jay are pretty quiet when we feed them. But this one decided to yell at me the whole time I was tossing it almonds. I can't tell if it was excited, or pissed I wasn't feeding it fast enough. #birb

Every day I restrain myself from posting a gif from Blazing Saddles is a day that I both win and loose the internet.
