Reintegrating into post-MAGFest reality is remembering no, the orange vodka seltzer is not an appropriate breakfast beverage no matter what % juice it is.

Me: ok, so now that MAGFest is over I can get back to playing games & doing normal house stuff. Past Me: I'm going to tell everyone that I've made any kind of plan with, business or personal, that I'll check back in with them after MAGFest! Current me: youtu.be/cPhIQeTVnwk?...

Can vouch for the Inevitable quickstart being great for APs, we used that last year for I think @pantslesstables.bsky.social's Pride Month fundraiser gameathon that I was a player in, works perfectly. So well I'm actually curious what COULD be in the rest of the book aside from very nice paper & ink

Looking back on it, I have...actually achieved a number of my personal life goals. Like, they're unfortunately not the ones that make me my have to worry about money every again, but they're still a thing. One thing I HAVEN'T done is release an album. I think that's getting added to the 2026 list.

I'm sorry I got overexcited and weird when you showed the most minuscule interest in one of my pastimes, it will happen again.

um, hey guys it almost seems like some of those who work forces are the same that burn crosses.

I am caught in the emotional spin-cycle of post-con drop: simultaneously powered up for the future but also devastating sad I cannot properly express to the people who have made me who I am the depth of my feelings for them & thus how overwhelmingly pointless everything else feels since I can't.

One other preposterous privilege I got this weekend - backstage access for concerts. I didn't want to abuse it, but I absolutely made sure I was there for the Protomen Act 3 concert. Next year I'll likely end up actually earning it + my tabletop & Chipspace work, but this was nice.

If your TTRPG uses a deck of playing cards and want a nice question oracle format, I've got you covered. The odds of that thing are super satisfying!

Did I go too hard this year? Yes. Will I be regretting this when I get home and need to grab some grocery staples? Probably. But 80% of this came directly from the artists themselves, so I'm glad to have supported folks directly where I can.

Yochai going full-time writer and publisher should be headline news in TTRPG land! Cairn Press 🔥🔥🔥

If you're someone who went to MAGFest this year and was like "Dang, I wonder what this was like 20 years ago!" then congratulations, I have an answer to that very specific question. TWO WHOLE CONCERTS, can you believe it?

Hey mutuals if you're in Pittsburgh or the surrounding area I'm gonna be there very briefly tonight/tomorrow to go see the @bloopmuseum.bsky.social - hit me up!

so, yeah. they're all important. anyway if you're at magfest & wanna see some cool shit that *is* respectful of the process & human element of making art, the rest of @munitygames.bsky.social is there w/ @arcadecommons.org showing off shootlanzer (5/5) blacksky.community/profile/did:...

Hire me to edit your TTRPG! I’ve read four games in 2026 already that just needed one last pass for polish, clarity, and a few errant details! Don’t skimp on a set of outside eyes, they really pull the whole game together, I promise!

MAGFEST 🚨 COME TO CHIP RAVE! Come see Street Cleaner, then ME! DONUTSHOES! Then stay for Petriform, Star Fighter Dreams, and Boy Without Batteries!!!

Would you like to see a giant Snorlax dancing in the middle of a breakdancing circle? Only at MAGFest...

Come by the RiverView building in the next [many] hours for a free ass-kicking*. *read: slightly sleepy yapfest

Close up on the zine rack selection today at Midwinter Gaming 🤩

Fighter

This also applies to #AGDQ2026 friends!!

@alisongrace.music rules holy moly

I do love my life sometimes. Really an honor to get to do an intro for these two legends. Also Chipspace was kind enough to make sure I could buy their CDs and comic so I no longer need to enact cartoon violence on nerds to make sure I get them. :P Safe travels @aiviwave.com & @surasshu.com!

If you're at MAGFest, you want to be at Chipspace at noon. You'll very briefly have to listen to me yap, and then you can have your minds melted by @aiviwave.com and @surasshu.com before they abscond back home. Also they've got merch! But not a lot!

hi- I'm a 3d animator with extensive experience in Maya and Blender, working in TV, film, and games! If you or someone you know is hiring for a 3d animation position, please email me ([email protected]) or pass this along to your talent folks! 🤩 Thank you so much!

I have so much sweet PR art on my walls and so should you!!!

Talk not to me of blasphemy, man; I’d strike the sun if it insulted me.

Lodoss's replay used old D&D. The next RPG they used, Lodoss Companion, was developed to skirt copyright. Sword World was developed sometime after @betterlegends.bsky.social @yochaigal.bsky.social @bradkerr.net

youre going to be ok, its as shrimple as that

Things are slowing down with my meatspace responsibilities, so I am looking for ILLUSTRATION GIGS! ALL OSR/NSR like- DCC OSE HMTW DND ADND SHADOWDARK MORK BÖRG MOTHERSHIP TRAVELLER MECHS DON'T SEE IT? JUST ASK! PRICES THAT WILL MAKE YOU SAY "WOW, ARE THESE FROM 10 YEARS AGO?!"

"OD&D meets Roadside Picnic" is exactly my kind of bullshit.

Saw so many of these cosplayers around today. Absolutely wild, wouldn't it be crazy if France was real and not just in a videogame?

Ok, so Estelle appearing at MAGFest as a guest performer during Rebecca Sugar's set was not on my punchlist this weekend, but that was a wild surprise. That whole set was a dream. We even got a song with an Omnichord in it, which is a rare treat these days.

You need to be willing to plant trees knowing you will never sit in their shade

Am I interrupting something???

people say the back half of twin peaks season 2 is bad but what they mean is its the greatest bad tv in the history of the medium

I am at MAGFest!! Come say hello and play a shortened demo of The Time We Have using our ACTUAL door!!

Do your best work offline and do not expect to be thanked. Do it because it's the right thing to do, not because you want people to like you. We all go into the dirt alone. No one else will be there when your guardian angel starts listing off your good deeds. Learn to be emotionally self-sufficient.

AY I'M GETTIN' MAGNIFYIN' GLASSED TO DEATH OVER HERE As someone who is usually in the sun as little as possible, all the natural light in this glass walled building for tabletop stuff is killing me

Coming to a Kickstarter near you on Feb 3rd!

Sharing to read later.

Currently listening to @khal-yolo.bsky.social just explain The Protomen's whole shtick to his friends while they wait around for MAGFest to get rolling, honestly very funny to hear it all laid out. You just stop thinking about it after a while but there really is so much artifice built into the show

The most fearsome creature in all of Dungeons & Dragons Lore. @dndlorecast.bsky.social I would legitimately do an episode about the Gazebo with you

So it begins.
