In a few hours, I will finally sell my childhood-family home of 44 years. I no longer have to stretch my military retirement pension to manage two residences. It’s been a struggle.

Reached out to an old supervisor to ask if she’d supervise my contact hours for independent mental health practicioner licensure. She asked what insurances I wanted to get certified under. I said, “None, I want to help folks pro bono or sliding scale.” Her response? “Why does that not surprise me?”

Consequence of late-afternoon nap=up at 3AM thinking about flying castles, alien geode-like artifacts, ogre armies and Neapolitan ice cream sandwiches, in no particular order.

Alas, Legends of Greyhawk: Highfolk has passed. The BMG Weekend in Highfolk event is over. DMs cared enough about our work to provide feedback to our leads. Positive vibes all around. Done. Next opportunity? #Freelancer #dnd

If you missed it, you could still catch it!

I have the honor of being Lead Designer on the Dungeons of Drakkenheim: Daggerheart Campaign Guide project! For those curious about our approach, I did a stream walking through the free beta campaign frame we have on the KS page: youtu.be/yNfa7AWRK6g?...

CW: Food. One of the World’s Most Okayest DMs also has proficiency in long-range meal preparation. There is enough sauce, veggies and pasta to get me through the next few days of dinner and allows me to focus on getting the rest of my Q4 ttrpg project drafts done.

D&D fans, I’m told Cynda Callaway has passed away. Cynda was the production expert who worked with various printers and manufacturers to get D&D books and boxes on shelves, on time, through the 5E era and beyond. She was a genuine unsung hero and all of us fans owe her a lot. RIP. #dnd

Looks like the only elements of the newest version of Cormyr that survived the new Forgotten Realms books were The War Wizards and The Purple Dragons, but that’s it. There is a queen, but nothing else. Sad😔.

Back from a con to watch my 🏈 team lose, but then read a bit from Walking Dead Universe and the Ukotoa rulegook-I won both at a con prize drawing!!!

KeeCon 2025 Last Day! Ran two events for some teens and first time D&Ders!

I can’t 🐻it! I had to share this Sharkenbear and Hellpug from Monsters of Sol’an! #dnd

In the nighttime reading, I’ve began to revisit the story of Thauglor the Black 400 years before DR, in the history of the greatest kingdom in The Forgotten Realms, home of The Purple Dragon Knights, The War Wizards, Vangerdahast, Alaundo the Seer and King Azoun IV, The. Purple.Dragon. Cormyr.

Ditto.

Halloween night at Kee-Con 2025 ends appropriately for one of The World’s Most Okayest DMs; re-reading a Dragon Delves adventure for tomorrow and watching Simpson’s Treehouse of Horror Marathon, so… #Dnd #ttrpg

Going to the UPS Store for con copies and finding a Blue Skies selfie op were the quests completed by your humble DM/human being in the name of the game!

Hey @lyla.bsky.social! Looks like my LGS has something new stocked on their shelves! #TheCosmereRPG

Gotta admit-I’m curious how this plays under the Onslaught rule set.

Read through The Crooked Moon subclasses. Big 💜on the College of Whistles, Barrow Warrior and Great Fool Patron. Re-reading mechanics of Daggerheart to ‘get ready’.

Monthly DCC game at my FLGS has my Judging like ka-wayzee!!! Cleric already in major disfavor and the 14 strong party is now reduced to six when we come back next week!

The Crooked Moon has been a great read so far. Gives the folk horror a bit of a high-octane fantasy boost. @sylvandragon.bsky.social was one of the creatives that brought this book to life …or death, or something else more spooky? 🤔 It’s all eerily good! It’s well put together.

Nightime reading after running my weekly LGS GreyHawk game. I made some minor adjustments to the Heroes ..boxed set for this table of veteran diceslingers. Listening to the Vikes/Bolts game too.

Your peers can make "bad art" by your judgment and that's fine. Maybe your art is bad by their judgment too. But the moment you start pooping on them when they've done nothing but exist, you're the asshole. And when they find out, because they will, congrats. You've set your own bridges on fire.

And there was rejoicing…!

After running Grim Hollow events at GameHoleCon I can’t wait to present more! For my own sake, I must not overdo it. I might scare myself away from the tables!! Lol! #dnd #ghostfire #GrimHollow

Gameholecon is over and I’m riding the creative energy from being around all my creative colleagues and friends into this week. #iamwriting #ttrpgcommunity #dnd

Post-GameHoleCon nighttime reading. My Crooked Moon book is a little heavier with @ginnyloveday.com and @sylvandragon.bsky.social autographs in them. Tomorrow-following up on networked opportunities, giving designer feedback and getting back on open projects. #dnd #ttrpg #tyrpghopeful

Day 3 at Gameholecon 2025 had me 👀-on AL tables, pre-packing and 🛞pressure ✅s. Ran a pretty grim Grim Hollow adventure and did alot more pic recon than normal. Don’t really have alot of time to process all of it now. Got to get up real early tomorrow for the 🚗 trip home. #dnd #Grimhollow

Gameholecon 2025, Day 2. Ran Doom of the Crystal Forge for Wardens of the Eastern Marches. No pics of our mental health panel. Networked with a colleague. Met up with @ghostfiregaming.bsky.social crew for dinner. Chatted briefly with my RPG hero @chrisperkinsdnd.bsky.social . All is right now.

Connor is a beacon of hope in this community. If you make an effort to know him or his work, you’ll see he is a passionate steward of the game, a champion for inclusive gaming and lives to elevate and educate the ttrpg community.
