We just released our first game supplement. Codex Magica: The Immortal Plane explores a new plane of existence and introduces new traits, materia magica, magic items and magical creatures. We put it up as a PWYW on DriveThruRPG. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5... #ttrpg

In last night's game, I threw three wickermen mechs at my players. One of them responded by summoning up the spirits of the Emerald Ash Borer Beetle and then sent the spirits to attack the mechs. 🤣 #ttrpg

Honestly, people calling creators the "petite bourgeoisie" makes me want to snap. We're working folk. And we work really hard. For next to nothing. We're not lounging around eating bonbons. We're trying to figure out how we're going to be able to pay rent next month.

Capitalism is so smart cuz if u have lots of disposable income, u hardly ever have to see ads but if u can only afford a $8 Netflix subscription boy does Chanel at Sephora have deals 4 u and your no money

So I have a hard time celebrating my successes. Growing up my accomplishments were always dismissed or ignored. In light of that, I'm trying to get better at feeling proud when I do what I set out to. This year I've managed to do everything I tasked myself with at the beginning of the year.

So, this hasn't been the worst event I've vended at all year, but it is in the top 3.

Since moving I've managed to do more events in a month and a half than in the 3 years I was in Wyoming. Even so, there are less attendees and they are spending less money. All my vendor friends are reporting the same. Being a small business or artisan right now is tough.

Running Coven & Crucible tonight for the playtest group. This is a game that I've run for 4 years and we're finally wrapping up the chronicle. We're starting a new one next year. I feel so grateful that people are willing to give up their Friday nights for this game. #ttrpg

There's also always the worry that once you hit your goal in your campaign that you won't get anymore pledges. I know that some folks like to wait to see if a campaign is going to fund before they pledge. But the worry is still there. #ttrpg

Running a #ttrpg crowdfunding campaign is a ride and humbling experience. You see all these wildly successful campaigns that raise six figures in like 15 minutes and you have a little game that slowly, but steadily makes its goal and you can feel like that isn't a success.

100% funded! Our little solo-play #ttrpg is going to be a reality. Now to see if we can hit our stretch goals! www.kickstarter.com/projects/13t...

We're up to 30 spam/scam promotional messages since we launched the campaign. All of these have come through email instead of messages on Kickstarter. It's frustrating for my ADHD, first daughter brain, that craves stimulation, to get the messages. I want attention, just not that kind. #ttrpg

I woke up this morning to see that we're 51% funded! If you want to read about our dealings with spammers and scammers and see some of the artwork that will be in the book click on the link: www.kickstarter.com/projects/13t... #ttrpg

And it's live! Yes, I launched my ttrpg of cozy witchcraft on Halloween. It just makes sense. 😀 Rewards start at $7 for the pdf and $15 for the hard cover. #ttrpg www.kickstarter.com/projects/13t...

www.kickstarter.com/projects/13t... My pre launch page for my solo-play #rpg is now live! It's a cozy game where you take on the mantle of local hedgewitch, solve problems for the villagers, & go on adventures. Go ahead give it a follow if that's your vibe. The campaign launches October 31.

Feeling pretty good about myaelf as I used some craft supplies that have been in my stash forever.

I have posted my magical home protection workshop on my website for free. There are video and written forms for different types of learners. #WitchSky www.idiorhythmic.com/2024/07/17/m...

Finished the edits to the final proof of A WITCH IS. You all, this is a good book! #WitchSky #WriterSky

Going through the proof of A WITCH IS and made the comment that I hate my writing because it is pedestrian. A friend insists that it is, in fact, accessible. I'm trying to hold on to that idea as I get through the last 100 pages. #WriterSky

"Shenanigans Pending is the name of my non-denominational coven." - out of context gaming #ttrpg

Being a writer with anxiety is like, Please read my books, but also, Don't look at me! #WriterSky

Thanks everyone for sharing my other post. I'm sold out of Sew Witchy now. I've raised $130 of the $270 that I need. So, if you want a signed copy of The Witch's Wardrobe for $25 (includes us shipping) DM me. #WitchSky

NEW: Anthropic has reached a preliminary settlement in a class action lawsuit brought by a group of prominent authors, marking a major turn in of the most significant ongoing AI copyright lawsuits in history.

Hey folks! I need to raise $270 to pay for an event in October. I've got copies of The Witch's Wardrobe & Sew Witchy on hand. The Witch's Wardrobe is $20 + $5 for shipping in the US Sew Witchy is $25 + $5 for shipping in the US I will sign any books sold. Reply or DM me for order info. #WitchSky

Witch tip for those who work with Hestia: incorporate cleansing rituals before you cook. Even just washing your hands mindfully can help you manifest a magical mindset. #WitchSky

Got tiny Hestia setyled in to the new kitchen space. #WitchSky

The only drawback to online games is no afters. Everyone should be decompressing over chili cheese fries. #ttrpg

Lol. 52 minutes into game and the paranoia among my players is already at 11. #ttrpg

I've got blackberry whiskey and ginger ale while I run tonight's game. #ttrpg

I say this, trained as a scientist, with my whole chest: the past 500 years of white supremacist colonialist capitalism have destroyed far more knowledge than they have created reject the mythology of "progress" or we all burn

When we moved we only took our mattresses, two camp chairs and three folding tables with us. There just wasn't room for anything else. Today we got a table and chairs. So now I have a place to work that isn't the floor.

As a witch, I have a lot of magical artifacts, materia magica, accessories, and more. But when moving halfway across the country, you can't take all of that with you. This is one of those things that made the move with us. It's a piece of Wyoming sandstone I foraged for a hearth stone. #WitchSky

Checked out the local asian market. Got ourselves some mochi, apple pears and frozen pork buns. Just a small trip because the place was packed today. Need to head back during the week when we can spend a bit more time shopping.

Running a drag race scene in tonight's Coven & Crucible and having a blast with it. #ttrpg

This is the best advice for how to be better at ANYTHING in TTRPGs. Be a fan of the other people and their roles. Love the other PCs. Admire the DM and get excited for their work. Geek out over the stuff your friends at the table are doing and want them to be happy! Everything else will work out.

I was greeted by Queen Anne's Lace, wood sorrel, chicory, creeping Charlie, and red clover in this new place. The backyard is full on shade at the moment, but the landlord is looking to cut down one or two of the trees so there will at least be a little sunlight. #WitchSky

Went exploring and found a metaphysical store. Talked to them about doing a booksigning and maybe teaching some classes. #WitchSky

The animals are taking the move relatively well.

ffs!! A very fucked up memo the United States Office of Personnel Management released yesterday says “during a break, an employee may engage another in polite discussion of why his faith is correct and why the nonadherent should rethink his religious beliefs.” ffrf.org/news/release...

We've sold a bunch of the bundles already! You have no idea how much this level of support means to me. Let's keep that momentum going! Find the bundle here: itch.io/b/3200/fight...

Gonna name the beekeeper in this game Jason. Because I'm a dork. #ttrpg

Naming NPCs in this game is difficult. I can't use my usual technique, which is mining my spam folder for names. #ttrpg

Trying to write a romance mechanic in this game and have no ideas other than, "You can fascinate a woman with cheese." #ttrpg

maybe there's still some good left in this world after all

@goblinartdirector.bsky.social pointed out that I could add a romance mechanic to this game and I'm just mad I didn't think of it before. #ttrpg

Oh no. Writing up little bios for all the villagers in this game and accidentally made the priest hot. #ttrpg

I've been playing a lot of MtG while I wait for feedback. Making up ridiculous combos and seeing them fail miserably is just as much fun as having them go off without a hitch. I like that I have a place where I can face failure with such low stakes.

No #TTRPG game — regardless of its rules —will make good players out of shit players. But good players can make a good game out of shit rules.

Doing a playtest of the Hedgewitch game and it really makes a difference to let the first draft sit and gel before editing. #ttrpg
