[Date Night Food] Homemade Sloppy Joes with some comfort sides (cheesy veggies, mac & cheese, and deviled egg potato salad).

[Date Night Food] Ranch Parmesan pork chops and sprouts, with stuffing crust and spinach gouda mac and cheese. The sprouts are at that *perfect* cook; with just a hint of crunch left.

[Date Night Food] Tonight is crock pot chicken pot pie gnocchi. Very delicious. Much tasty. 💚

The first two episodes of the revival of Reading Rainbow have nearly 500,000 views each 🤯 Do you know how cool that is for literacy, for book joy?! We are all worthy of reading, we are all readers 💚 And NOW episode three is out! Take a look, it’s in a book 📚🌈🦋 youtu.be/e4VIV48ZB0M?feature=shared

My joyfriend decided to run Eat the Reich for us for the first time tonight, and they love going hard on game vibes. It's spectacular. Yes, the room is fully red lit.

Discworld QOTD, from Equal Rites “It is well known that a vital ingredient of success is not knowing that what you're attempting can't be done. A person ignorant of the possibility of failure can be a half-brick in the path of the bicycle of history.”

[Date Night Food] Sometimes really great food is very few ingredients. Tonight is Cacio e pepe - cheese and black pepper (protein) pasta, with bacon in ours. Also roasted herbed artichoke hearts. 💚

Hey everyone, we have some big news to share!

[Date Night Food] Mexican Chicken Casserole!

Discworld QOTD, from I Shall Wear Midnight

The person reading this needs to drink some water, I know you’re dehydrated and stressed out. You could just be stressed out.

[Date Night Food] Tonight is Butter Chicken and brown rice. The house smells absolutely fantastic.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

[Date Night Food] Very basic (which is not bad) this week. Everyone is tired. Sweet potatoes stuffed with creamed spinach, with pork tenderloin. Simple flavors done well.

Ladies, gentleman, friends from beyond the binary! If you're at QuestCon Orlando this weekend, I'm running Our Brilliant Ruin by Studio Hermitage all weekend! The justice of the people. Forbidden academic research. A high society train adventure. Let me show you this doomed and beautiful world.

[Date Night Food] Anniversary Edition Our anniversary was Monday, so my joyfriend asked me what I wanted to do for Date Night. I said that I wanted a picnic and to play coop video games with them. Tada!

the thing that Granny and Vimes have in common is that they are people who know, at their core, what is right and what is wrong and have consciously chosen to do what is right and the worst villains, on the Disc and in real life, are those who know the difference and choose to go the other way

[Date Night Food] When Indi offered me homemade fajitas, I said yes so fast it might have broke the sound barrier. Tada! With esquites!

Discworld QOTD, from Wyrd Sisters “Magrat wondered what it was like, spending your whole life doing something you didn’t want to do. Like being dead, she considered, only worse, the reason being, you were alive to suffer it.”

Discworld QOTD, from Guards! Guards!

I was just mugged in a mental alley by the need to write an "Our Brilliant Ruin" RPG module. I've literally been typing this thing up for the last 6 hours. ...I need to go get dinner. Damn brain, I love the stories you tell, but could you be less aggressive next time???

Warnock to RFK jr: "For the first time, we are seeing deaths of children from measles. We haven't seen that in two decades. We're seeing that under your watch. You are a hazard to the health of the American people."

[Date Night Food] I accidentally cooked the pork at the recommended temp/time for loin instead of tenderloin. Luckily, it's pork, so it can stand up to a hammering with a few oily condiments. Served with a sweet potato and carrot mix, and steamed asparagus.

@garrettwang.bsky.social After hearing the lovely tale of "throwing gaff tape across the bridge" at the Voyager panel yesterday, I've left you a gift at your D*C Walk of Fame booth on behalf of the stage crew of this year's Subspace Rhapsody Picture Show. Use it well, if not wisely. 😉

[Dragon*Con] Within 5 minutes of leaving my hotel room, this cosplay has done exactly what I'd wanted. A stranger spotted me coming in the skybridge and lit up. Them: "Hell Yeah! Non-Compliant!" Me: "Stay Non-Compliant!"

[Date Night Food] T'was the night before Dragon*Con, and as it happens every year, it's Date Night. Tonight, we've made Lemon Orzo Chickpea Soup, with Spinach and Sun-dried Tomatoes.

Coming next Tuesday, HINT! A 4-episode series GM'd by @erikaishii.bsky.social, debuting Sept 2nd. Meet the characters and get more info: www.patreon.com/posts/137488... Design by Lucy Tomkiewicz: www.lumadethis.com Illustrations by @offbeatworlds.bsky.social: www.offbeatworlds.com

[Date Night Food] Tonight we're having chicken teriyaki in fried rice cups, with steamed pot stickers and a ginger salad.

You all know where to find me at @dragoncon.org (same place we do every year, Pinky!) Schedule subject to change but the app is live! 🍻

Discworld QOTD, from Unseen Academicals “The Librarian was not familiar with love, which had always struck him as a bit ethereal and soppy, but kindness, on the other hand, was practical. You knew where you were with kindness, especially if you were holding a pie it had just given you.”

As a massive fan of the "Our Brilliant Ruin" RPG by Studio Hermitage, I have definitely bern reading their collaboration comics with Dark Horse. Don't sleep on Horror at Crane Mansion! I especially enjoy the story's central character. I'm a sucker for a clever detective...

Hey everyone! After a couple of months, Im FINALLY caught up on my commissions list and commissions are FINALLY open again. Reach out if you're interested in having me doodle some amazing stuff for you! #commissions #commissionsopen #art #artist #ocart

[Cat Care - Help Please] I apologize; I didn't want to post this again, but I spent all of yesterday hydrating/feeding my cuddly kitty with a dropper. This cat (Toothless) is my sweet boy and is back at the vet today, which blindsided us completely. <continued>

If you are heading to PAX Unplugged this year do not sleep on Games on Demand. We're already at volunteer capacity and this GM list is something to be excited about. The titles are going to be varied and our line is going to get full at times. Very full.

Reposting for the morning people - My family needs assistance with our cats' medical needs. They are sweet and fussy and much loved, but also very expensive. Anything at all would help and my deep thanks to those who have already reposted.

My cats Toothless 🖤 & Beatrice 🤍 are facing kidney & thyroid issues—multiple vet visits, meds, & bills in the thousands. Their mischievous brother is fine, but these two need help. I hate to ask, but I know that I need more than just me. Any donation means the world. gofund.me/55130eaf

[Date Night Food] Steak/Chicken Kabobs with greek potatoes and a feta and olive salad. And so much dip. Indi accidentally has three containers of tzatziki. 😆

Follow-up to GenCon - I never get tired of seeing my younger GM roommates and coworkers goggle when my age is revealed. Is it vain and shallow? Probably. Do I feel less like a woman with joint problems and an early bedtime when it happens? Absolutely.

Now that I've been safely home since just after midnight, I can firmly say that this is one of the worst cases of Con Drop I've ever experienced. I've slept most of the day and everything hurts. Just absolutely brutal. Still, a fun con. No regrets there. 😀 Good tables, fun games. #firstGenCon

Sometimes my son absolutely kills me. Out of nowhere tonight he says: “Dad, if Bruce Wayne is Batman because he’s afraid of bats then why isn’t Jason Todd the Red Crowbar instead of the Red Hood?” After nearly spitting my drink all over the room I could help but full on guffaw. This freaking kid…

Got to finally run Alice Is Missing today. I have two sessions this weekend (the other is tomorrow morning) and the rest are all Eldritch Automata. And while I've enjoyed my E//A tables, the session I just finished reminds me how powerful a game that little box of cards is.

Taking a few minutes off from game running and game prepping to catch a show - Outbreak: Undead. As a massive fan of the We're Alive: Frontier AP series, I promise that I'd have been a menace all weekend if I'd realized this is an ARG.

HO.LY.SHIT. I was just approached by a player of mine from PAX Unplugged last year, who not only remembered my name, but began enthusiastically telling the friends with him how much he'd enjoyed our game and that I'm "an incredibly talented GM". I'm gonna ride this high all day #firstGenCon

@fleitdetrik.bsky.social Hey Fleit! I'm at GenCon and stopped by the Indie Press Revolution booth and recommended "My Mother’s Kitchen". The vendor said they not only had it, but he remembered when it came in and he read it; an example of "genius game design". Just figured you should know. 😉

I've been given this worm by a sketchy illithid, so of course I'll immediately put it into my body. Nom nom nom. #firstGenCon

I PROMISED MYSELF that I wouldn't buy anything in the Exhibitor's Hall!!!! But near tje end of the first row is a booth dedicated to only small press indie games. ...and I just have to own Deathmatch Island. ...aaaaand maybe Void 1680 AM. Curse my love of indie games!!! #firstGenCon

Am I tired? Yes. Am I sore and slightly overwhelmed? Yes. Am I still super excited? Yes! This is my "break day" (running one game tonight) so let's go see some stuff and try to find friends! #firstGenCon

A hotel room full of GMs the night before Con starts? Nothing at all wild and crazy going on. Literally three people are running over our modules and prepping for our games as if we had a college exam the next day, with lofi beats playing on YouTube. Such party animals. 😆
