My baby isn't as nice as this photo, but she's pretty close considering she has been an outside car since 2018. I named her Black Betty after the song.

I have a white Prius that my wife named "Marshmallow" and it just kind of stuck. Even the kids call it that now.

Do you run a TTRPG, and have been trying to find a system to help keep all of your notes together and organized in a way that makes sense to you? Might I humbly suggest giving us a try? We're a web-based campaign management system, and you can try us for free!

My 2001 Chevy S-10 I call Red Rover based on color, the old kid’s game, and we wander around together.

Are you a GM heading to Playthrough in North Carolina this weekend? If so, drop by booth 103 and let @mrdowden.com show you how Lore Link can help you organize all of your game notes into one convenient, easy-to-use place! You can find con info and tickets here:

Good morning, everyone! Today is Thursday, October 2nd, and it's National Name Your Car Day. I'm not going to lie, I have a blue 2011 Scion xB that I call the "Cardis." Why? It's a blue box that feels bigger on the inside. Have you named your car? Let us know! Have a great day, everyone!

Hey, have you ever been interested in our live streams, but have always been busy when we're doing them? Check out our YouTube channel! We have most of our live streams, though the first year or so has some missing because, you know, learning curve! 🤣 Check it out:

Today is the FINAL DAY of my #Kickstarter campaing for You Were Made! Come join us while weère still live to take advantage of KS exclusives! www.kickstarter.com/projects/12p... Thanks everyone!

Good morning, everyone! It's Wednesday, October 1st, and it's CD Player Day. Did anyone else have that "Dungeons and Dragons" CD from Midnight Syndicate? I think I found one that was used, but I never used it in an actual session. Have a great day!

I did the art, too!

And that's the stream! Thanks to @retpallyjil.bsky.social for sitting with @markdc.bsky.social and talking gaming, the Elvish language, and swear words in fantasy languages! Check out Toranag ise es Tobrim: An Elvish Glossary for Roleplaying Games here: shop.ingramspark.com/b/084?params...

Every "yes" you get is a chance to ask "who else?" That panel spot, that collaboration, that feature opportunity, how can you bring others along for the ride? Solo quests are overrated anyway.

This weekend, @mrdowden.com will be bringing Lore Link to the Playthrough Gaming Convention in Raleigh, North Carolina! You can find him at booth 103, showing folks how you can use our system to have a more organized game. You can find out more info on the con here:

Prepping for the stream with @retpallyjil.bsky.social and so far, we've learned about the Press Your Luck scandal, who won the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile race this past summer, and we're going to be learning about Elvish soon. What a day to be a social media manager! twitch.tv/LoreLinkRPG

If you missed it, I've got a new video up, outlining my new direction for the things I create in the Lab. I hope you like it, and I'm excited for y'all to see what's next! #maker #ttrpg youtu.be/UjW-Bfep2-I?...

#ICYMI! @retpallyjil.bsky.social will be joining @markdc.bsky.social to talk about Toranag ise es Tobrim, her Elvish glossary sourcebook, as well as using language to enhance immersion in TTRPGs! Join us at 5 PM Eastern, over on Twitch!

Conversations with the 8yo DM: 8yo DM: I am sad. Me: What’s wrong? 8yo DM: It is almost October again, and the DnD people (@dndbeyond.com) still haven’t created an inflatable yard beholder for Halloween. Me: I am sorry. 8yo DM: I have been asking since I was four!

The campaign is almost over just 2 days remain! If you’ve ever wanted a game about memory, identity, and uncovering forgotten truths, now’s the time to back You Were Made. Join us before the signal fades: www.kickstarter.com/projects/12p... #ttrpg #ttrpgfolks #kickstartergames #journaling #solorpg

NICE!!!

Good morning, everybody! Today is Tuesday, September 30th, and it's International Translation Day! What better day than today to welcome @retpallyjil.bsky.social to our Twitch stream this afternoon, to discuss her Elvish glossary sourcebook, Toranag ise es Tobrim? 5 PM EDT!

Dang it, I was going to be PRODUCTIVE today.

We've got a cool guest on tomorrow's stream! @retpallyjil.bsky.social is joining us to discuss her Elvish glossary sourcebook, Toranag ise es Tobrim! They'll also talk about immersion in RPGs and how GMs can use language to assist! Starting at 5 PM Eastern, over on Twitch! twitch.tv/LoreLinkRPG

The Lore Refactor is complete, and everything is back up and running! The next time you visit Lore Link, you may be prompted to update. PLEASE DO THIS! This will help you make sure you're using the latest version of the software. Thank you, and have fun!

You might be wondering what this update is that we're pushing today. Simply put, we're updating how all your Lore works in the system. Everything is considered Lore now. EVERYTHING. TL;DR - lorelink.com/news-and-med... 1/3

Hey there, everyone! The time is now 12:00 PM EDT, and Lore Link will be down for the next few hours as we push a pretty important update! We're expecting everything to be done by 4:00 PM EDT today, and we'll keep you up to date here on BlueSky or in the Discord. Thank you for your support!

Seriously. If you're in Indianapolis and can make it, Scott is fantastic and this is a great time!

I have to pick just one?! Phantom of the Opera is the first soundtrack that introduced me to Broadway musicals. Cats is first I ever saw on stage & seen so many times. Chess is my favorite to listen to and hope to see someday. Les Mis is my wife’s fav so we have seen it many times. So many more!

Good morning everyone! Today is Monday, September 29th, and it's National Broadway Musicals Day! What's your favorite Broadway Musical? I'm especially looking at @markdc.bsky.social!

Another unrealistic -tober prompt.

Remember, on Monday we'll be doing our Lore Refactor update! This means Lore Link will be down, or not working optimally, between 12:00 PM and approximately 4:00 PM EDT. Keep an eye on BlueSky and Discord for any updates, and thank you for your support!

Lore Link's next big update is upon us! The Lore Refactor update will be happening on Monday, September 29th. Starting at 12 PM Eastern, there will be some downtime as we push the update and make sure everything is well and good. We anticipate everything back up and running around 4 PM Eastern. 1/3

As we roll into another weekend, we hope you all have the opportunity to relax, spend time with people you care about, and stay offline. Have a good weekend, and we'll see you Monday!

Good morning! Today is Friday, September 26th, and the Tony writing this earlier in the week is really hoping Friday Tony is ready for the stream this afternoon! Join us at 1 PM Eastern, over on Twitch, as I run my first TTRPG in about 18 years, Star Trek Adventures!

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

I'm playing Lt. Zoe Hernandez, botanist and hacker extraordinaire! Because I thought to myself, gee, how can I play a druid in a Star Trek game? and the problem solved itself 😂

Tomorrow at 1 PM Eastern, @troxellstradingpost.com will be running the Lore Link Players through the starter adventure for Star Trek Adventures 2E! Join @markdc.bsky.social, @mrdowden.com, @twenty20sight.com, and @lunalapine.com as they run through "Infinite Combinations."

What is in your current pull list? I need to go pick mine up this weekend. #comicbooks

Happy Thursday, everybody! Today is September 25th, and it's National Comic Book Day. Honestly, shouldn't that be held on a Wednesday? Anyway, have a good one!

TOMORROW!!

Have you been curious about us, but are unsure whether we'll work with the system you're currently running? Lore Link is designed to be completely system-agnostic! We've run everything from Pathfinder to Honey Heist on our streams. Check out our Examples page for a sampling!

Display assembly and lights complete! On to paint. Full build video coming soon!

Good morning, everyone! Today is Wednesday, September 24th, and hopefully AT&T won't have any outages, so I can work! Have a great day!

Correction! I just found out that they're going to be talking to @mrdowden.com tonight, not @markdc.bsky.social ! Sorry, I've been dealing with sick kiddo and an internet outage today! So, 9:30 PM Eastern, on Twitch. Oh, and YouTube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxQI...

Papow! We just hit 150 backers! Thank you all so much for believing in You Were Made! With just 8 days left, there’s still time to join the Echoforms and help us push even further. Let’s see how far we can go together! www.kickstarter.com/projects/12p... #ttrpg #ttrpgfolks #solorpg #journaling

No afternoon stream today, because we're streaming tonight at 9:30 PM Eastern with @cannonotterstudio.bsky.social! Join our guests as they talk with @markdc.bsky.social about their games, Skin City and Teenage Odyssey! It will be otterly amazing! Join us, 9:30 PM Eastern! twitch.tv/LoreLinkRPG

Hey, now that we're all awake, did anyone do anything cool over the weekend?

Good morning! Today is Monday, September 22nd, and it's officially the first day of fall! The temps really need to get in line, because I really need to break out the flannels and cardigans. Take care!

Yay! We just hit 140 backers on #Kickstarter! Thanks so much to those who have signed up so far! I'm excited to deliver the game to you! #ttrpg #ttrpgfamily #ttrpgcommunity #journaling #journalinggame #solorpg #kickstartergame www.kickstarter.com/projects/12p...

We've made it to Friday, everyone. Time for me to really start reading through all the Star Trek Adventures stuff in a panic. Yes, I completely overthink just about everything. Anyway, how about you? What are your plans for this weekend?

The Lab is open, and I'm LIVE on Twitch1 C'mon by and see out the week with me and the Lab Goblins! twitch.tv/artificerind
