and I'm soon to be getting my claws into the edits of my only TTRPG so far this year, Born From Ice, by @bornfromicerpg.com Lots going on, lots more to come #TipTheEditor

As always, any day a new OK Go video drops, I'll post it and be excited about it. Some really great visual inventiveness in this one! www.youtube.com/watch?v=gz9B...

Fire training video shoot today for Central Piedmont Community College. Got to fly the drone and catch some video of Mint Hill Fire Department and our students. Thanks to everyone involved for helping make this happen!

Big brand video shoot this week.

In trying to stay sane by not posting about US politics, here's some info about this year's technical Oscars. The new fire gels are fantastically interesting (and really cool to see stunt-related items included in the awards), and the other digital achievements are quite fascinating as well.

Ok Go has always had amazing music videos with crazy video production, and this one is right up there with some of the classics.

The LICHES method for writing descriptive boxed text. Really useful if you’re not sure how to get the most out of your descriptions from a Game Design perspective. barilleon.com/blog/the-lic...

Would love to get some writing done, but guess it can wait because if this mess. #cats

For holiday meals did a bunch of cooking, but most proud of how the salted caramel apple pie came out.

It’s been a month, so for new folks: I’ve made a starter pack for Historical TTRPGs and creators. Reply with enough info to verify if you (or someone you know of) should be included! #ttrpg #ttrpgs #history #dnd #pathfinder #d&d go.bsky.app/FVfFLLK

Some time last night I hit 1000+ followers! Thanks everybody!

Chauvet Cave was discovered on the 18th December 1994. 30 years ago today. To many it is the most arresting expression of cave art in the archaeological record & it is one of the oldest examples in Europe. Here are four of my highlights. archeologie.culture.gouv.fr/chauvet/en #AncientSky 🦣🏺

Okay, my meeting with my boss has been postponed by three hours, which is not enough time to start a new work task but too much time to sit around twiddling my thumbs. So I'm making a thread of What Your TTRPG Product's Title Font Says About You: Featuring Only Fonts I Already Own.

Capturing cinematic b-roll video and managing the live stream for Central Piedmont Community College’s December graduation. Congrats to all the new graduates! #cpccgrad #graduation #charlotte

Hanging out with Fiona watching A Christmas Carol (1938). #christmasmovies #catsofbluesky

If you need an alternative to the best Christmas Carol film (the Muppet Christmas Carol, of course - which takes many notes from this film), this is a great choice #christmascarol #filmreview boxd.it/80rixP

Starting to post reviews as I rewatch favorites (or watch new films!) to Letterboxd. Last night was one of my favorites, The Maltese Falcon. I think there is a great #TTRPG campaign somewhere around the search for that bird! letterboxd.com/lorensmall/f...

Wake up, babe! New fossil footprints just dropped! 🏺🧪 Trackway found in Kenya shows that H. erectus and P. boisei basically lived side-by-side, which is bonkerballs cool! www.livescience.com/archaeology/...

It wouldn’t be the holidays without making my (famous?) Chex Mix. #thanksgiving #snacks

If anyone wanted to nominate Born from Ice, that would be amazing! www.enworld.org/threads/nomi...

Doing #inDesign layout/editing work. Definitely the biggest inDesign project I've ever done. Pay no attention to my messy paragraph styles (with copies of copies for edge cases). Oh yeah, that is also a sneak peak of the Wolverine Totem! #TTRPG #GameDesign #DND #D&D #TTRPGs #Tabletop #TTRPGDesign

Still adding to this starter pack. Let me know if you should be included! #ttrpg #dnd #d&d #pathfinder #ttrpgs #tabletop Historical TTRPGs (and the people who make them): go.bsky.app/FVfFLLK

Today! The brainchild of the amazing Victoria Ferran at @justradiotto.bsky.social with some excellent guests – was lots of fun to be part of it www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

1/9 Apparently there's 1.5 million and counting new users, and I know there's a lot of the #TTRPG, #Pathfinder, #D&D, #CybeprunkRED, #Shadowrun and more communities hitting the ground running. So I've got some solid Starter Packs and a List to get you going! Indies up first! go.bsky.app/QZAUPgT

Some happy days my various nerdy interests align. #dnd #vinyl

(*Old thread recreated to save from Twitter*) OKAY I HAVE AN IMPORTANT THREAD FOR YOU about fighting in ballgowns! I will illustrate with Disney Princess gifs, because why not. First, you can absolutely swordfight in a dress. Some dresses are great to swordfight in, and some are not so great.

The thing about the chronological timeline is that if you have something you want to share, you have to share it a lot. And if you see something you think others should see, you have to hit repost (likes are not public).

Question for the GMs and worldbuilders out there; Is it possible for someone to be completely without magic in your world? As in, they cannot use magic, they cannot be affected by magic, it will never affect them...period. #TTRPGs

Good morning Bluesky. Here's a helpful starter pack for divorced men named Geoff but one has been murdered. Please help us find the killer. go.bsky.app/KDY26rh

Working on a polyhedral dice font. Do these read okay to everyone? Any suggestions for shape changes?

There’s something extraordinary about this otherwise pretty standard Late Bronze Age axehead: A human fingerprint. A real, visible and tangible connection to someone from 3000 years ago. If that doesn’t give you goosebumps, idk what will. 🥹 #FindsFriday Link to record: finds.org.uk/database/art...

Glad to be included in this starter pack!

People keep asking for starter packs for TTRPG so I _volunteered_ and made a resource _unpaid_ because mess annoys me. TTRPG peeps have to stick together. I didn't _make_ ANY of these starter packs. Some kind people have put me in some of them. I don't follow most of them. Use your best judgement.
