Lighting is VERY important when photographing. It turns a photo from "a cute nose lick" to "demon here to murder you"

520 Pike Street, Seattle! A new Barnes and Noble book store. I will be there to sign books. The rotten black cat intruding in my PR effort will not. Gift basket door prize! 9AM May 6

I HATE math. I will gladly admit to this fact. However, I LOVE Tales of the Valiant monsters creation... which involves a lot of calculations and mathematics. And somehow... I'm okay with this.

This person apparently took umbridge to me describing the HP author as "the Big Bad Witch" and likened it to "burn the witch in a witchhunt." Normally I would explain my reasoning, but when their recent post is something like this, there's no point debating. They just want to stir something up

"I don't want to say something is about to happen because I warned EVERYONE about it, so lets enjoy the show instead."

Mipha just wants cat-crack [catnip]

Can honestly say Legendary Games' bestiaries are some of my favorite works in the 3rd party TTRPG world. They have insightful creatures that I always love to look at, and I never regret backing their kickstarters. INCLUDING THIS ONE!

Got followed by this account, and I noticed a lot of their replies are from accounts that all kind of give the same answers to generic questions... and then I notice these cute little labels - oh! That's why they followed me :) Labelers are so awesome

I’ve never written anything using AI, I never will, and I have zero respect for any professional who does.

Hey, here’s a radical idea that hasn’t quite caught on yet. Trans people are people.

Time for another TTRPG product review! This time we're taking a look at the Otacle: Monster Generator by @nordgames.bsky.social! youtu.be/qhACdjZjTuw

Quote-Post with a photo showcasing the energy you bring to Monday

"I don't know why you hate ChatGPT so much" idk maybe because it stole from me and all my friends, it's terrible for the environment, it's driving up energy prices, it's quantifiably making people worse at using their brains, it's a tool of fascism, and also it doesn't even do what it says it does??

Sat down to work on my script to review The Oracle: Monster Generator by @nordgames.bsky.social, and Mipha wanted to take a peek as well. I think it is kitty-approved!

Or you can preorder GMBPPP and help small bookshops (and me!) by ordering through bookshop.org! bookshop.org/a/122122/978...

Gamemasters, this is the kind of story we all have one of. How did your first PC death go? youtu.be/YjvX1JeRfqM

So after a month of not sharing, I think it is time to introduce the latest member of the family! This is Mipha, a new beautiful kitty who loves to play and be loved! She is a bit of a nervous cat, but she has come a long ways in the month she has been with us!

I just got my Bookshop.org affiliate account set up! You can support local small bookstores, local small TTRPG authors (me) and get awesome resources for your game! #ttrpg #dnd bookshop.org/lists/my-boo...

Mushrooms are dehydrating, homemade turkey andouille sausage is out of the pressure cooker, hybrid Italian-sourdoigh bread is in the bread maker, sweet potatoes are blanched and freezing, rice is cooking in the instant pot with the sausage juices, and mini-pizza dough is par-baking I am tired now

One of the hardest things I find as a GM is being patient while waiting for players to send me backstory information that I can weave into campaigns. Like, I know *I* have a ton of time to think on it, but why don't they have the time while they are juggling jobs and kids and life and....

Sometimes GMs try to help their players.... and their innate suspicions turn that aid into hindrances. And this is a tale devoted to just that situation! youtu.be/prDOnyyiwl8

Do you know what empathy is good for? It's working out how other people feel and how they're likely to act. Kind of important in certain situations eh?

TTRPG SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT: CW: CSA materials I've just heard from a trusted source (with evidence linked below) that @ colbosch. bsky. social was arrested in June last year for possession of CSAM. Sharing this info so that others can look into it for themselves and keep themselves safe.

The fact that another regime change war has started is telling. That there is no approval from Congress is telling. That there is no timetable or goal is telling. That no one has spoke out about 150+ children in a school being "collateral damage" is telling. This war must be stopped. NOW.

I want it to be widely known throughout the ttrpg scene that Pathfinder and Starfinder are the products of unionized labor by a bunch of queer and trans weirdos and our accomplices.

I wish all trans people peace today in the face of genocidal violence but I want to take a moment to especially wish recognition for trans mascs, who are almost always overlooked in discussions of transphobia. Our suffering is less visible but no less damaging.

The only words to describe Kansas' new trans drivers license law are "cruel" and "horrific." There is no legitimate justification for it beyond hate, and it sickens me.

A day later and no major national news org has covered what they're doing in Kansas. This is the flip side of the hyper focus on trans issues by the right. The national media ignores what's actually being done to trans people. This erasure is what contributes to the persecution.

For my @xtramagazine.com column this month, I explained why Gavin Newsom's flirtation with anti-trans policy won't win a single conservative or centrist vote for him and also makes him a non-starter for trans lefties. xtramagazine.com/power/politi...

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women." Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration. It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Our latest.

I don't like accounts that follow, unfollow, then follow again to try to get me to follow them back. You do that, and I won't think you are serious and I'll block.

So life has been been busy this month, which means I won't get a 2nd TTRPG story video up this month. 😓 BUT.... I will at least get my review of How to GM Romance up on February 24th still! Sure, it's past Valentine's Day, but it's at least within the "month of love".... right? #HowtoGMRomance

Hi! Time for my yearly 📌 post: I do TTRPG writing, editing, Pro GMing, and battlemaps! Commissions open! I have a YouTube channel for telling tales from my tables and reviewing products! gAI is theft and a tool for fascism. End of discussion Follow for the TTRPG discourse, stay for the laughs!

Marriage is playing Mario Kart and saying if I win we get smoothies, if she wins we get milkshakes... then I win and say we get milkshakes because it will make her smile. Besides, it's a damn good milkshake

New slogan to throw at Brands just dropped.

"I'm sure Saruman's Uruk-hai were not ALL bad. They just needed better oversight to do their marauding, pillaging, and murder more by the rules." -Some Hobbit somewhere

Excited that tomorrow premieres a new tale from my tables! This time I share how one of my NPCs became (unintentionally) more loathed than any other in the campaign - even more than the BBEG! Premieres on YouTube February 3 at 7:00 Pacific, only at www.youtube.com/@thedramatic...!

Alas, a TPK. A savage PF2E battle, one foe left, 3 HP... and everyone downed. They will be remembered with... amusement? Honor? Maybe just remembered.

I'm so glad we can all agree Affinity tables suck to use. I took the time to record a quick tutorial on my (free) Patreon that teaches you the right tricks so you NEVER have to use them ever again for your TTRPG rolling tables and other layout needs. Share it, and please join my (free!!) Patreon

Democrats: WE WILL NOT VOTE FOR THIS MAN. If you want to win in 2028, push someone better. This isn't a "purity test." This is our fucking LIVES. Do better.
