Inexplicably power failure. Guess I'll power down, too.

Lovely birthday today. Massage, nice long nap, and dinner at local upscale Italian restaurant with my household. Tiramisu! I don't have pix ,'cause I'm kinda tired of taking pix of my food.

Birthday cards. #tarot

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Just dropping this here for later.

The crux of their argument is that if they're found liable, then the consequences of their own actions that no one forced them to take could ruin them and the rest of their industry that undertakes similar practices. To which I say motherfucker did you never hear about Napster

#genconhaul #gencon Supplies for the game I actually run occasionally. @chaosium.bsky.social

Unbearable excellence. Found the link www.stuffbymark.co.uk/work/beatfilms

#genconhaul #gencon I've been coveting this one for a while. Beautiful book. Intriguing setting. @montecookgames.com

@plusoneexp.bsky.social #genconhaul #gencon Quite excited about these games. Can I get myself organized to run one at my local Con in October? Wassailing of Claus Manor went well at the spring convention.

A bunch of new information about Ballad Hunters, my new RPG coming from @pelgranepress.bsky.social! Sing and fight magical folk ballads in 1813 England and Scotland! #ttrpg pelgranepress.com/2025/07/20/i...

#genconhaul #gencon @ipr.bsky.social I think I'm attributing these great games to the correct booth!

#theredcarpetgencon @devirgames.bsky.social Glamourous movie stars at #Gencon!

And I won this drinks recipe deck for having the best trivia night penmanship (I kid--l wrote down the correct answers as dictated). @dungeonmeister.bsky.social pub trivia #gencon

I also bought this co-op murder mystery games, in which the player-victim-ghost accuses their murderer through cryptic messages the rest must guess. From @oinkgames.bsky.social #gencon

#gencon purchased today from @igdn-official.bsky.social . Fall-winter vibe, I think.

#negociosinfernales @csecooney.bsky.social I picked up a game I Kickstarted; it's been on a boat. Happy to meet up with one of the creators, CSE Cooney. Watch my blog for full report!

#chaosium @chaosium.bsky.social Check out the cool folks!

I'm taking cash to Gen Con, but that isn't a viable solution. See them in court, @aclu.org .

Saving for GC shopping day.

Put this here for later, as in Friday shopping day at Gen Con.

Treasures from my Charlottesville Book District Book Crawl earlier this month. Thanks to all the great indie bookshops. #indiebookstores
