So #PAXaus was great and all but the highlight was finding this unhinged situation in the lobby of a suspiciously fancy high rise. You bet we opened it. For tax reasons I cannot share the contents. #dnd #ttrpg

And I did! Eldritch Knight with tavern brawler feat. The extra feats in the Dragonlance setting meant I had a decent pile of spells to Be Weird With. So, you know, pretty successful I think

Heaps of new folks over here! Maybe it’ll stick this time

Time for the Titan game at GaryCon!

This is impacting the film industry in the same way. Why would studios/companies continue to pay for new creatives when a computer can just rehash their old stuff forever and ever? CEOs only care about the money a product generates. Not the product itself. And certainly not the people who make it.

Putting together a Dragonlance character for a few-shots #dnd game and I think it’s time to finally play a bugbear.

It’s dnd night and we just hit level 13! Which means 7th level spells. I’m playing a warlock and can’t choose between Finger Of Death or Crown Of Stars… help!! I’m maybe leaning FoD but like where am I going to stash all those zombies? Portable hole maybe?

hey yall im doing a talk on designing disabled tomorrow at @timbothewizard.bsky.social discord for free it will be fun and of course a place to ask questions! come join 7 est/ midnight bst time discord.gg/fUYR5cx9

Listen I know I’m supposed to be writing the next ttrpg supplement for the Crowned but like… look at this.

Hey Americans, feeling politically powerless? You have an election tomorrow. Fascists are targeting those boring state and local positions and using them for everything from abortion restrictions to book bans to criminalizing trans healthcare. It's up to you to stop them.

With the holiday season right around the corner, I want to just put this out there. Every purchase from an indie crafter is an investment in their dream instead of a millionaire/billionaire getting a luxury boat or second home. It's food in the bellies of working class people.

Sure, The Crowned isn’t d&d, but one of our first supplements will be a hack for ttrpg characters lvl 20+ All those characters that achieve godhood should get to explore that!

I don’t make the rules.

The final piece of art for the TTRPG The Crowned is in!! This game highlights player creativity and character customization while you play a god of your own sliver of reality. Here is the god of bubblegum cutting loose with the 10th lvl wonder: “incarnate”. What would you be the god of?

My dice from Artisan Dice finally arrived 10 days shy of ONE YEAR since I placed the order! I received two email replies that entire time and was otherwise ignored. But don’t worry their aMaZiNg cUsToMEr SeRvIcE sent me a code for $25 off my next purchase. You know in case I want more dice by 2025.

I have a new dnd spelljammer game coming up and I cannot decide if I want to play an autognome druid or a plasmoid roguelock.

Halloween one-shot of The Crowned ttrpg was super successful! The god of sock puppets lost a finger along the way, only to have it replaced by the finger’s literal shadow. That player immediately argued for a bonus to shadow puppets and who was I to say no. This game loves stuff like that

Gnarly beholder, painted in coffee. #guildeleven #art #DnD

Watched the 1922 Nosferatu today and it’s just the plot of Animal Crossing

Since we (me) are on the topic of new TTRPG systems give me a rundown of your best supers systems. Systems where you could *actually* achieve the feel/theme you were going for.

Pathfinder tomorrow! But it might be our last session playing this game in that system. Anyone else get crunch fatigue from Pathfinder?

A tentative agreement has been reached to end the WGA strike!!! #wgastrong #unionstrong

Excellent news. I'm looking forward to seeing (and voting on) the deal. www.nytimes.com/live/2023/09...

“Remember once the murder is stopped we have cookies!” #dnd

The Crowned ttrpg was originally a NaNoWriMo project from seven years ago. This was the very first note I took before diving in to write. Happy Crowned day to all who celebrate!

Hey TTRPG folks! Who are your favorite dice vendors? Preferably interesting, ethically sourced, materials!

Haven’t had a Pathfinder session in two and half months!!! So excited to be back at this table

How long is too long to wait for dice to be made? Nine months is too long right?

On my flight home from GenCon. Seat next to me just did an in flight Pee Wee’s Big Adventure with a No Country For Old Men chaser. You okay dude?

Ran another session 0 of the Crowned to kick off our GenCon. Watching a table of ttrpg creators and designers dig into this game is just the best! I’ll have the mock-up of the final book with me so if you see me on the floor come check it out

GenCon!

Ran a Session 0 of The Crowned for a new table of players last night. For the first time in the history of this ttrpg not a single person wanted a familiar

Going live on Twitch with Late Shift a FMV game, so join me for some Morning Cinema! twitch.tv/thenoirenigma

Shadow of the Demon Lord is such a neat TTRPG that really scratched an itch for me that D&D 5e just couldn’t hit. I am *deeply* excited for Shadow of the Weird Wizard.

Big ttrpg day for me. Recording our third episode of Sleepaway for Sarah’s Table with @pixiesandpins.bsky.social and then wrapping up a major arc of the Crowned game I’m running. Then GenCon prep for the games we’re running there. Will the cats be chill for all this? No. They will not.

I know I slept on this for a while but Dead Eyes has to be the best podcast ever

This is why the cat doesn’t get to play dnd. Always fudging the dice

pokemon evolutions be like

This is especially wild .. because threads had a huge launch and is tanking because of .. MODERATION I knwo the nerds and Negroes ain’t sexy But we are HANDING you the keys like we are HANDING you the tools

happy weekend!

social media lately feels like being a ragged d&d party traveling from one town to another, and each one is haunted by some different kind of monster, so we gotta keep moving

Seriously, we're not talking shit to be dicks. We like the app. It's a nice app. It's got cool stuff. And cool people. It's all pretty looking and shit. I like it. But we ALSO like not-racism. This app could be perfect if you could just focus on the not-racism. That's all we're saying, man. 😭

And now even more of us are going to win

I invited a lot Black tech people. Now you barely will see em. They saw what happened to me and bounced. And these are **tech** people. Literally best for this space.

Too tired to discourse….. just moderate the site and ban bigots. Please. It’s your job. It really shouldn’t be all of this

Holy fucking shit at the SAG press conference right now Fran Drescher said the AMPTP offered on AI concerns that background actors can get paid for one day’s work, get scanned, and their image recycled digitally without limits.

YES
