The vet is pretty certain that Crowley has FeLV - feline leukemia virus. Since he was a stray, I'm told it's not really surprising and he likely contracted before we found him. It just decided to rear its ugly head now. Thank you to everyone who's been able to help so far. I am so touched.

Oh no, I’m getting the urge to DM a campaign again

I think I need to kick the habit of watching live chats while I’m performing during live games, I love interacting with chat but it makes it so much harder to focus in on the game and to have all my character info up onscreen 😭

TONIGHT! I’m joining a wonderful crew of TTRPG legends on Darringon Press’ channel to play Daggerheart and raise money with Roleplay Relay for Doctors Without Borders! There’s a Switch 2 raffle*, and the first $5k donations are matched! See you there at 7PM EST! www.youtube.com/live/ppIdIQH...

Being bored is truly one of my favorite ways to spur creativity; especially as a content creator. But it’s far harder than it sounds in this field to simply unplug enough to let that happen.

“a cut and color appointment for your hair is three hours??? what do girls even DO in all that time?” idk man im just sittin here working on my Magic decks in Manabox, im having the time of my life

UPDATE: For those who are performers on others’ channels, the application has been amended to make verification easier!

I feel like I’m very soon going to have to start just assuming every vide on my feed is AI unless proven otherwise, and that baseline assumption scares me

Every time I leave home to go to a con, I get a text notification that the power has blinked out at my apartment. Therefore, my presence must be upholding the local power grid. In this essay I will-

google scholar is an INCREDIBLE resource we use her all the time for our research we also use jstor which we somehow just learned lets you read 100 FREE ARTICLES A MONTH WITH AN ACCOUNT??? peer-reviewed research is not all behind a paywall. take advantage of these FREE databases often + robustly 📢

yaaaaay Diana! Adding: If you're trying to mind meta-articles that summarize and compare a lot of research on a specific topic, add "systematic review" to your search. Check your local library's website for MORE free academic sources! Check out scholar.archive.org for more free scholarly stuff

I don’t usually do the whole “go check out my latest video” thing but this might be the most important thing I’ve ever posted:

❣️For all my tabletop streamer friends out there who haven’t yet heard, Twitch has just announced a brand new Tabletop Creator Club! These clubs are a way to connect with other streamers in your niche, for everything from APs and TTRPG discussion to collectible card games and mini painting. (1/3)

CAPTAIN'S LOG: An unexpected trio aboard, and we’re sailing through the night. Pt 2 of Forgotten Paths: A Scarlet Sunrise (presented by Hero Forge!) is LIVE. Ft @versachiko.bsky.social as Mizuki and @dianaoftherose.com as Captain Riptide! Download, listen, share, review: Linktr.ee/forgottenpaths

(Gentle reminder that while it’s excellent to be vigilant about AI slop in your feeds, some work that may appear to be AI at first glance due to 3D aesthetics can actually be human-made. Blender artists still exist. Always look for credits, BTS content, and other such evidence where you can. 💚)

I think there could be huge potential for streamers to stream themselves playing indie solo TTRPGs.

The road so far

Just found out that we were the number one fundraisers for the @wwf-streamers.bsky.social ‘s annual Go Live for Nature livestream event this year! Y’all are the best, and huge thanks to the WWF team for having me!

I’m back home in Bend and I’m so ready to see a totally disproportionate amount of golden retrievers again

I love you, Australia - y’all have been a delight!

“This is me trying to take a step back and play something other than League” - overheard in front of the Riftbound booth at PAX.

guys I’m gonna go as Rogue for Halloween, finally

CAPTAIN'S LOG: Morale high, sails full, danger behind, a normal sunrise lies ahead. INTRODUCING Forgotten Paths: A Scarlet Sunrise A new miniseries ft @dianaoftherose.com as Captain Redjack Riptide and @versachiko.bsky.social as Mizuki! Download, listen, share Pt. 1 here: linktr.ee/ForgottenPaths

The wildest part about being in Australia is receiving snaps from my Australian friends at normal times of day instead of at like 3 in the morning

This is a dope charity promotion for my #ttrpg fans! youtube.com/shorts/RNvIn...

My pal DNDShorts is running an incredible charity giveaway for the UN's World Food Program. Check it out! Donate here: sharethemeal.org/en-us/challe...

Friendly reminder that I have a whole ongoing YouTube series that does rapi-fire overviews of indie TTRPGs, no matter how small. Highly recommend giving it a watch if y’all are looking for some new games to try, or for something that fits a certain playstyle or scenario you wanna run! \/

(lowkey getting pangs of envy seeing all the MagicCon folks having fun in Atlanta already) (which means this hobby has truly got me in a CHOKEHOLD already)

When I was a kid, my dad would mute the TV whenever ads were on because he didn’t want to be influenced by them to ANY degree, even subliminally or in the background And as a content creator in 2025… I’m not gonna say I’d do the exact same thing, but I’m not gonna say I don’t get it, either

Folks were asking what plugins I use for Obsidian to organize my TTRPG stuff better, so here you are!

GREAT news everyone, the caffeine has kicked in, and I’m officially ready to prep for DMing my first ever live-streamed D&D game

Fantasy Fixer Upper is live now! Discover new inspiration for your next game with @dianaoftherose.com , @xanderrific.bsky.social , and @hapabarbarian.bsky.social  as they renovate a stale world into a playable adventure on Infinite Stories.

btw if we ever work together on a project (no matter how small) and I don’t follow you on all socials afterwards, I promise it’s purely because the algorithm made it hard to find your profile. I really do try to make sure I know what everyone’s up to and what cool stuff they’re working on 🥺

Honestly the best part about playing TTRPGs in front of a live audience as part of my job is the fact that I don’t have to do math anymore, I can just yell to the audience “WHAT’S SEVEN PLUS FIVE” and they’ll just yell the answer back and it’s my favorite thing

Magic Sushi! Intrigue! Hot Dwarf Daddy! Join @dianaoftherose.com , @xanderrific.bsky.social , and @hapabarbarian.bsky.social  as they improve a homebrewed setting together on Infinite Stories. Live now on the Infinite Stories youtube channel!

Magic: the Gathering tokens but they’re designed like the cards from Inscryption

Putting out milk and cookies for Santa but instead of cookies it’s a caffeine pill and instead of milk it’s a 4Loko

The amount of visceral excitement that courses through my veins when someone says they’ve never played Inscryption before Because oh my god you’re about to have a LIFECHANGING experience if you go in totally blind

Forever grateful that the folks who tune in to my content are the absolute best, always such chill, helpful, and honestly? amazingly funny human beings 💚

It’s EXTREMELY stormy outside and the lightning hits seem to be rapidly approaching my location, so apologies in advance if stream goes down today due to outages!! 😭 The mod team has been briefed and will evacuate everyone to raid a friend if that happens 💚

Okay I’ve been part of this hobby for less than a month but I’m OBSESSED with the concept of using air dry clay to make custom deck-themed tokens for MTG

I can’t believe instead of making localized timestamps a native part of Discord they gave us microtransactions

I made a video about how to make the party hate a BBEG by TPKing them early on, then having the BBEG revive them just to tot with them. And y’all had some DIABOLICAL ideas in the comments

One time @bdavewalters.bsky.social told me about a D&D game he runs that’s a time loop adventure. Full on Groundhog Day, until small changes start happening. And it’s been living in my head rent free ever since
