Good morning 💙☁️ One of my New Year’s resolutions was to focus on my games! So, I’m back to posting here and talking about projects! So, what am I working on?

Put them back, as after some investigation I see a post where they lament that their "require alt text" setting had been turned off w/o their knowledge. Checked and mine was also turned off, and I've seen a few people say the same: So check your settings to make sure its still on!

If you've never hired an editor before, I cannot stress how vital it is to yet a sample edit done on the *worst* part of your MS. Don't give the editor the first 10 pages you have polished obsessively. Show them the worst so they can show you their best! This is how you figure out if you're a fit!

Habari Gani! Happy first day of Kwanzaa ❤️🖤💚

Good morning ☀️ Christmas was a success yesterday. Now I’ve just got to get to the New Year.

Good morning and happy Christmas week to those who celebrate! My grandparent in-laws are here and I’m excited. The house finally looks like Christmas and maybe it will start to feel like it soon.

Yep, that's pretty much the gist! You can pick up VOID 1680 AM here: bannerless.games/voidam

👋🎃 Want to turn your TTRPG into an audiobook? I can help w/ that! Hire me, a big kid VOA to record your TTRPG so folks can listen to anything from your world-building to core mechanics I suck at learning rules from PDFs, so lets make some cool accessibility tools, nerd! Interested? Shoot me a DM

I need each and every one of you to remember this in the days and years ahead. Acts of grandeur make legends, not foundations. Feeding each other. Educating and learning. Giving time. Practicing grace. Making someone laugh. Sharing. Kindness. Hope. These must be cultivated for us to survive.

I love Christmas. I love Yule. Honestly the winter solstice holiday is my favorite. I love buy gifts and making people smile. Honestly it just feels good. But this years been weird. Since my grandfather passed it just doesn’t truly feel like Christmas. It’s my first one without him and I miss him.

Our paladin hit me with a spell which ended the paralysis. Then my dm let me cast tiny hut upside down so I didn’t fall in the lava. My bard rogue shall live another day.

In dnd tonight I have been paralyzed and then the evil snake man threw me into a pit of lava.

So i just did some counting for my new #DND #Spellbook Total Spell Count: 627 Total Magic Item Count: 194 Total Stat Block Count: 42 Keep an eye on this account and get excited!

Hey #TTRPG! I'm excited to grab @pastaparade.bsky.social's new supplement for D&D 5e tomorrow. Why? Let me count ways: • 627 spells • 194 magic items • 42 stat blocks All an array of elemental types that'll keep my players feeling powerful and enemies dangerous! ko-fi.com/pasta_parade...

Excited to see what comes of this 👀 Love some of the other content from @pastaparade.bsky.social so my hopes are very high for this! Keep an eye out!

The best GMing advice I've learned is to lean into the fiction and not the rolls. Give players as much information as you can and then if they describe an action that's remotely reasonable, they just do it. Rolls should be reserved for risk.

Well, you heard the lady! Get excited folks cause tomorrow I blow the doors of elemental magic wide open! This book will have 2 magic schools ive never released, lightning magic and Biomancy aka body magic!

Describe your GMing style and your playing style each in one sentence. GM: Yeah so this hot powerful woman wants you to do her dirty work Player: But what if I turn the barbarian into a T-Rex in the middle of town for a distraction?

Good morning #ttrpg peeps! Tomorrow @pastaparade.bsky.social new D&D 5e supplement comes out! Unlock the full potential of elemental magic with 627 new spells, 194 new magic items, and 42 new stat blocks all based on the elements. I can’t wait to check it out ❤️ ko-fi.com/pasta_parade

Gotta love being at hospitals. We’re here for grandma she has a migraine. Woman was discharged & ended up going into the bathroom. 45 min later after being checked on twice she started to scream, yell, and cuss out the staff. Security when in. She was not using the bathroom she was doing drugs.
