“Concealed within his fortress, the lord of Mordor sees all. His gaze pierces cloud, shadow, earth, and flesh. You know of what I speak, Gandalf: a great Eye, lidless…”

For reasons beyond my control, I am back to freelancing. I will probably hit some of you up about things in the near future.

A little Return of the King by the fire

Hung a projector on the ceiling so I can have a big display for TTRPG things. I am very excited for the next game night at my place.

Couple of screenshots from an hour of playing around in Sigil VTT. It’s fun to mess around with, I could see myself using this for boss fights in my fully remote games.

I'm not going to MWC this year; instead I'm using the week to catch up on a *massive* MrMobile backlog! To kick things off, here's a rare Sunday-night premiere featuring a phone that (as @russellholly.bsky.social might say) sure does exist. Join the live chat at 9:45p ET! youtu.be/yZ5KOG8BAVU

I need to find some iiiiiiitty bitty hinges for this to work the way I want it to, but even now I love how this turned out.

I do not want Severance explained to me. I want to know exactly the same amount of information about this world as I do right now, and preferably no further. Just let it be this weird shit forever.

Happy for Tales of the Shire to be delayed (again) until they are pleased with what they have shipped, but this game had better rewrite my brain chemistry when it finally drops.

I just heard someone on the radio say “according to ChatGPT you can do this amazing thing called water glassing to make your eggs last longer”. You can’t water glass store-bought, pasteurized eggs. That is only safe with freshly laid eggs.

First time seeing one of these Pokemon vending machines in the wild. The line for this one was impressive

I know everyone was SO thrilled to see how *effective* Carrion Crawlers were in the new Monster Manual. You will be further pleased to know that errata for that particular creepy crawly has been released :) #WOTCStaff

Lobby Dalek!

No matter what platform I’m on, there are ads for an AI-generated planning tool for DMs “who ran out of time to plan the session”. I’m not here to tell you how to DM, but if you’re playing D&D you already have everything you need to build a session. There are many tables in the DM Guide to help!

This is a very cool Tolkien book written by one of the nicest people I have had the pleasure of interacting with in the last couple of years. You can pre-order it here, with a link that has no affiliate code attached because I’m just excited about a new book by a cool person. a.co/d/1VLyypw

The new Coruscant map and assassin character in Star Wars: Hunters are so much fun, and crazy challenging for objective matches.

The vibe I bring to the tailgate* *my friends know better than to invite me to a tailgate

Every episode of Shrinking is amazing. Truly a great show. Not a single person on screen uses a case on their phone and it is so distracting. Gabby would never.

She destroyed her Nazgûl so now she gets the dumpster fire

when will the Tolkien Estate let us learn Elvish on Duolingo

Every time I am reminded of what happened to The Void I am so very sad. It was awesome, and the people who worked there were great.

Seeing the difference in person the first few times was incredible, and then I saw it in IMAX with the new color corrections and was blown away

This would be an insane theme park ride

Let’s make a hat with cool gothic windows in it

Honestly slightly surprised it took this long. I suspect most of the reason they were kept around was for corporate accounts that didn’t enjoy change.

The downside to once again wandering around my neighborhood listening to Andy Serkis read me The Silmarillion is my insistence on repeating things like GET THEE GONE without first checking to see if anyone else is around at 6am also walking their dog
