A while ago I was able to work on something very cool - The Crooked Moon by @avantris.bsky.social. Today I recieved 1 of 2 box of goodies & recieved my author copy of the book! It’s all beautiful! I’m so excited!

That is the second time tonight I haven't been able to spell coerce. My brain is mush. The word mines writing blehs tonight are winning!

Tonight at 7pm central, I’m trying out Malix Nystul’s Dark and Stormy with my other half. It will be all the fun and silliness. 😉

It is the weekend of chatting with me! Hopefully, you aren’t sick of me yet. 😁

Tonight I'll be chatting w/the lovely people at @phillygamingexpo.bsky.social about life, the universe, & everything. I have the honor of being a special guest in 2026 & there be crazy fun games. I'd be happy torment...er...make you have a great time. Just search for my name in the events!

Driving to #gencon! Drove halfway last night and now stopping to pick up a bunch of friends for some Kopp’s burgers before we continue on our arduous journey. 😋

Jeff Steven’s does amazing work. You should back this! This works off @hellomcdm.bsky.social Draw Steel rules so different than DnD 5e. Also, yours truly worked on some of Draw Steel so I can vouch for its coolness!

Well, now that I’m at least sorta functional, I should deal with my next hurdle. My job at the UMN was not able to be turned into a permanent job as everyone hoped. If anyone knows of any job leads, let me know. I’m going to be looking now that my insides aren’t trying to get me. 😋

It has been a wild weekend. From celebrating birthdays to having a SNEAK ATTACK SURGERY to have my spare organ (silly appendix) removed Monday. If I don’t get back to people right away it’s because I’m recovering. I managed to get free of the hospital yesterday afternoon at least!

It is REALLY difficult to write when you are tired, have so many chores to do, and have a bad headache. lol. Slllloooow. Brain not braining.

This is pretty cool! Our Candlekeep Mysteries complete bundle is at @dmsguild.com , with 86% off this week only! www.dmsguild.com/product/5260...

Fun w/Pandora last night. At 12am she was freaking out, licking her lips, & foaming at the mouth. So an emergency vet trip! When we got there, she was down to just drooling & very shortly after were in the room, she was fine. Lots of monitoring today. She’s pretty quiet but took a treat from Sammi.

I'm lucky to have a job that I love doing. #thecrookedmoon from Legends of Avantris was no exception. As a writer & editor on this, I'm in awe of the things people come up with. Not only will the physcial books be available but it will be on DnD Beyond! marketplace.dndbeyond.com/category/CB8...

I think she has forgiven me for the vet visit. Came demanding pets and for me to hold her. ❤️ But pretty wiped out.

After a busy morning of taking Pandora to the vet, we learned she has a double eye infection and a flare up in her lungs of her herpes. My poor scaredy cat was traumatized but she’s happy to be home and has her eye antibiodics.

Check out my cool birthday present. Zelda themed, etched, water bottle with my name in Hylian. 😊 I will now drink more water right?

Decided I should finally organize and put away the random piles of my MTG cards. Pandora is offended.

Busy weekend! Worked on the house & managed some fun too! Installed foam in the bathroom basement which was an unexpected. Needs to be spray foamed yet. Also managed to get in a Tarkir MTG prerelease. We did abysmally but that’s part of the game - you never know what cards you’ll open. Still fun!

Sadly, I did not survive The Tower of Gygax. 4 characters at once fell in that moment. lol. #GaryCon

#GaryCon Here we come!

I didn’t think Quiznos exsisted anymore! Having it for lunch. 😂

Finally getting around to updating some of my DnD characters to the 2024 rules. That should show you how often I play! Bleh. What a pain. lol.

Hello people & dragons! In celebration of International Women’s Day, I’ve been invited to speak in a webinar at 2pm today called “Her Turn - Women in D&D”. It’s put on by the wonderful folks @ Dragons, Dungeons, & Drinks. You can check it out by RSVPing- www.dragonsdungeonsdrinks.com/event-detail...

She’s chasing dream mouses, purring, and chittering in her sleep! Lol. Our daily snuggles. Hopefully it makes you smile.

I love it when I leave myself notes in something I have to write and when I come back to it later, have no idea what it means. I’m sorry Past Toni, ‘Scary Monster Hole’ has no meaning to me anymore.

Everyday at least once a day, Pandora needs snuggles and to be held like a baby. Sweet, needy kitty.

Pray for me fam, I might die by inceration!

Ewww. This is the sort of idea that inspire Xanthoria in Candlekeep Mysteries. Nature is gross and creepy! www.popsci.com/environment/...

While taking Calie to the vet this morning, I was putting her in the car & slipped on ice. Instead of dropping Calie or falling on top of her, I threw her to safety & instead hit my face on the car. I gave myself a blood blister in my lip. It swelled so much it popped so now I have a fat lip.

Working hard today. Shoveled 5” of snow before prepping the basement floor to apply self-leveling concrete so that extra bathroom can be finished. Everything caulked, barriers up, & concrete primer applied.

I need more cool people to follow. Who’s got suggestions or lists I can dig through? Share pretty please with sugar on top.

Good news everyone! My fever has finally broken & I’m sorta a functioning dragon again! I still have the preteen boy voice cracking and congestion though. 😂

When you are sick and drink hot tea to feel better, you use this cup.

Seeing all the wonderful people this past week for the has done me in. I have the after-holidays-flu (not covid says my tests!). I have taken NyQuil & Advil & I still have a fever and freezing. It’s better than it was. My thermometer matches one of the 3 blankets I now have on! 😂

It has been a very busy few holiday days - it only became bigger & busier when I was snuck attacked with a proposal a few days before the holiday. After my surprise wore off, I managed to nod yes. 🥰

If you haven’t done so yet, you have only 5 days to back the Evil Dead 2 kickstarter! Get on it, you know how cool this will be. www.kickstarter.com/projects/leg...

About to get some laughs in and start the play, “The Book of Mormon” - let’s see that South Park humor. 😏

I admit, I still get giddy and excited when I see something I worked on in print. Look what beauty showed up tonight!! @ghostfiregaming.bsky.social

I just officially made my writing stuff a legal business. *breathes in a paper bag* Hopefully I filed the paperwork correctly!

YOU. Yes you! You’re pretty great, you know that?

In honor of my Link Xmas ornament that didn’t survive storage ( I have no idea what happened, he was the only casualty), I played Tears of the Kingdom tonight.

Just finished running my Candlekeep mod, Xanthoria, online for some cool peeps. As usual liches get stitches and end up in ditches.

Everyone must admire this cat bed I just bought! ADMIRE IT I SAY!

Hot take - Dragons are just more violent, scaled cats.

Remember when I mentioned something groovy on the horizon? The deadites are rising & the spooky things are happening! Have an over the top, bloody time w/the Evil Dead 2 RPG. I’m excited to get to work on this & how often do you get to watch movies as research? 😉 www.kickstarter.com/projects/leg...

It’s been a while since I worked out (had some annoying health issues) & got the ok to start working out again. I have a good friend who used to be a personal trainer & she suggested we workout in her warehouse space with another friend. Folks, she tried to kill me! 1 hour, over & over again.

I should do an official introduction post at some point shouldn’t I? That sounds scary. 😱😂

I took a dirt nap playing in our Dragonlance campaign and this fell out of my note book. 😂
