I have a journal again! This one is mostly just for music.

Merry Christmas, adventurers! From my snowy simulacrum to yours. ☃️

I summoned the courage to attend my first bluegrass jam this week. I learned a lot and plan to return. The best part? There was a bluegrass dog! The woofs and boofs were quite musical.

I’m happy to share that I’m stepping into the role of Game Design Director for the Dungeons & Dragons TRPG. I'm immensely grateful to my team, my mentors, and everyone who has supported my career along the way. A short 🧵 below!

Mitzy is ready for fall. 🍂 #WOTCstaff

This month of blues immersion is all about the big guns of Texas. I've been looking forward to this unit because it includes a bit of slide guitar, which I've never played! After a busy week, I finally made it to a local music store and picked up a slide to play around with tonight. It's cool.

Hope. ❤️ (And $8 halal cart chicken over rice!)

Proud to announce that next month I'll be releasing Pistolheart (Vol.1), a supplement for Western themed #Daggerheart campaigns (and my first solo release)! But for now, wet your whistle on the incredible cover art by @coveofmadness.bsky.social, who I am so pleased to work with again.

Happy Halloween! 🎃

We have a number of positions open within the D&D TRPG studio, including multiple Game Designer roles! If you're interested in joining our adventuring party, apply here and elsewhere on the Hasbro jobs portal: jobs.hasbro.com/job/Renton-G... #WOTCstaff #dnd

Like a silly goose I absolutely forgot to tell y'all that I worked with Wizards of the Coast??? I wrote Scream of the Crop and Ballad of the Rat King for the new Welcome to the Hellfire Club box set!

I'm heartbroken to hear about Rob Wieland's passing. Rob welcomed me to the tabletop industry before I had hardly any credits to my name. His kindness and passion for games shone in every interaction I had with him. If you'd like to donate to Rob's family, you can do so here: gofund.me/b84316d4f

Have questions about Stranger Things: Welcome to the Hellfire Club? We’ve got answers. Join Wizards staff for a live Q&A on Discord tomorrow: Discord.GG/DnD

Good weekend. 🎃🍔🤠

Finish the campaign. Stranger Things: Welcome to the Hellfire Club is available now: dndbeyond.link/Welcome-to-t...

Today is the release of Stranger Things: Welcome to the Hellfire Club! I couldn't have asked for a better adventuring party on this one. Last week, we Wizards gathered to celebrate the set at the office. We hope you have as much fun with it as we did. 🎃 #WOTCstaff #dnd #strangerthings

These keep-inspired instruments are such a delight and full of little nods to the Keep on the Borderlands. With four instruments to choose from and four characters in the starter set, you have everything you need to start a band with your fellow party members! Amazing work. #dnd #WOTCstaff

Teach noticed me! ❤️

Jacko has your back-o. #WOTCstaff

This is my favorite commoner art ever. I love the implication that the bread functions as a club. #WOTCstaff

Hey I got to illustrate chapter 2 of the D&D Dragon Delves book! Written by @justiceraminarman.bsky.social, it was such a perfect thematic and tonal pair that I still can't believe it's real.

“Severance" actor Tramell Tillman has won the Emmy for outstanding supporting actor in a drama series. He is the first Black man ever to win the award #Emmys

Made with ingredients from our garden! The eggplant dip was especially tasty.

Fulfillment is now underway for the Cosmere RPG! We've sent PDFs to all backers, and books started shipping this week. So now seems like a great time to celebrate the awesome team behind this project. This is a LONG thread, but please read (and share!) it anyway, because this team deserves it. 🧵

Recorded my first performance with video for my class yesterday. I got compliments from the teacher! (I look cooler than I sound. 🙂‍↕️)

Spotted a really rad guitar this weekend. The f-hole is shaped like a cactus, and it sparkles like the night sky when you look inside! Made in a one-man shop using sustainability sourced wood from felled urban trees in California. 🎸: Tone Ranger Guitars

I haven't finished it yet, but this is one of the best books I've read in a while. As someone who has struggled deeply with existential dread since the ripe old age of 9, it is also extremely relatable. And morbidly hilarious.

I'm officially on unit 2 of my blues immersion course! We've migrated from the Mississippi Delta to Chicago, where many great musicians made names for themselves. Today's playlist features two blues legends, Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters.

This is how it felt for me and others as we were coming up in tabletop games. I often thought of my industry peers and mentors as fellow classmates, upperclassmen, or alumni. Just like in school, it's important for us to help each other along and pave the way for future classes to learn and grow.

James and I talked with Polygon about Draw Steel!! www.polygon.com/draw-steel-m...

Another Gen Con in the books! Thank you to everyone who said hello or shared a game, story, laugh, or coffee with me in Indy (or Nashville or San Diego). What a lovely reminder this has all been of how fortunate I am to do what I do every day. Looking forward to the next one...after a Long Rest. 😴

It wouldn't be the D&D area without a secret door. #WOTCstaff #GenCon

So DRAW STEEL is out today, and I wanna thank a bunch of people who made it happen. I gotta start with the folks on my team every day who showed up with incredible passion and dedication @thewillyboo.bsky.social and @djordi.bsky.social. They are HEROES. drawsteel.com

A recent (and impulsive) trip to an unknown barber unfortunately resulted in the demise of my beard, so I no longer resemble my headshots. I now have a lil mustache.

This week, as part of our D&D showcase at Gen Con, we're showing off the new Starter Set: Heroes of the Borderlands. This is the starter set we all wish we had when we began playing. 🌞 If you're at the convention, come on down to Lucas Oil Stadium and check it out for yourself. #dnd #WOTCstaff

Coolest mocktail ever, courtesy of the wonderful folks at the Indiana Roof Ballroom. It's called Sylgar's Fishbowl! #dnd #WOTCstaff

Hello, Indianapolis! I'm here and ready for Gen Con. Who wants to roll some dice? 🌞

Fantastic Four was...fantastic! Pretty sure I heard Herbie say a bad word.

I am sorry to all the followers I just discovered I have on TikTok, where I have never actually posted. I have since Googled "how to use TikTok" and will continue to investigate.

That's a wrap on SDCC for me! This was my first-ever Comic-Con. Thank you, San Diego! I had a blast. Tomorrow I'm headed to Nashville to devour my weight in Southern food and get real yeehaw for a few days before heading up to Gen Con! Hope to see you there. Bring your dice!!!

If you're at SDCC this week, swing by the Hasbro booth (#3213) for a sneak peak at upcoming D&D products! There are also Transformers (trains!!!), action figures, and a host of other goodies on display. #WOTCstaff #dnd

The Hellfire Club’s Dungeons & Dragons campaign never got an ending... until now.

Welcome to Hellfire. 😈 #dnd #WOTCstaff #StrangerThings

This week as part of my blues immersion course, I'm studying Robert Johnson, one of the early Delta blues pioneers. His career spanned just seven months and two recording sessions, but his influence remains nearly 100 years later, most recently inspiring the character of Sammie in Sinners!

We put *a lot* into this starter set, which is coming soon! I can't wait to hear stories from new players and Dungeon Masters who begin their D&D journeys with this set. I hear there's even a dragon or two in it. #dnd #wotcstaff
