A while back, I put all my diplomas in cheap frames just to protect them a little bit, and sometimes I see them in my closet and wonder if I should hang them on the wall in my office. But then I remember I could hang some BG3 pinup prints on that section of the wall instead.

Second stream! Join us over on Majestic Goose Network to watch me date all your friends...with SWORDS! www.twitch.tv/majesticgoos... First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes FIGHTING TO THE DEATH!

Since I’m already running a Valentine’s Day themed D&D stream on the 12th and a Valentine’s Day themed Thirsty Sword Lesbians stream on the 14th… anybody need a GM or player for a slasher-flick Valentine’s Day themed stream of some sort on Friday the 13th so I can complete the trifecta? 🤣

I finally got another bookshelf, which means I am finally unboxing some massive TTRPG orders that have stayed in their shipping boxes for ease of storage, and I'mma need everybody to stop making their all-in collection packaging so frickin' cool because then I don't want to throw any of it out. 🥺

I have now recently watched a couple of very public semi-celebrity videos that involved taking shots of Malört, and am remembering that my first time taking a shot of Malört was extremely unremarkable, so now i feel like I should make A Thing out of visiting Chicago and trying Malört?

Cool, I now only have like 15 hours left to stress about whether I should take my full laptop with me on this trip or whether I can get away with just my phone & tablet! I deliberately haven’t packed so that I can’t overthink because time pressure! I love travel anxiety!

It’s the beginning of a new year and I am unemployed, so I think now is the time when I’m supposed to go to all of my socials and yell:

Spent half of today reading Call of Cthulhu modules and the rest desperately looking for a planner that has the same layout as the perfect one that I normally get that is out of stock. Standard first of the year.

I’m normally a very fast reader, but I’ve had one book that’s been kicking my ass this last month. I finally finished it…but it’s also the first in a trilogy. 😩 So now I have to decide if I’m going to force myself through 2 & 3 for completion’s sake, or if I just call it.

Going back to DOS2 after many, many hours of BG3 feels like picking up any other fantasy TTRPG after so long playing 5e - the inventory management is brutal and leveling is a nightmare but it also feels challenging in a way I’ve missed. 😅

This evening is the last of my (planned) games in which I ruin the holidays - join us at 5pm Pacific tonight as I return to Meme of the Month on the Majestic Goose Network with a nice, cozy little definitely-not-evil holiday movie game mashing Warmer in the Winter and Monster of the Week!

Hey folks, it's that time - I'm moderating a panel for @illusionhorror.bsky.social on using myths and real-life legends in your horror TTRPGs that starts in about 3 minutes!

I absolutely do not believe that my most listened song this year was a random ambient fantasy track with ONLY SIX PLAYS given how I hardcore repeat-listen to certain playlists that are definitively “car singalong” options. My data-and-metrics brain is very unhappy right now.

Join us live now on @vanalosswen.bsky.social for a special spooky season session of Ten Candles, with a bunch of cool guests including @jenisonline.bsky.social @acescreamqueen.bsky.social and guest GM @tallhalfling.bsky.social! (Oh, and I'm also playing.) www.twitch.tv/vanalosswen

The sea gives, and the sea takes...and takes...and takes...join us live at 7pm PT for the final chapter of our Vaesen mystery! www.twitch.tv/questsandchaos

Midst salt and sky, strange dangers lurk, and Thursday's Children rest uneasy on the barren rocks of Wrecker Isle...join us now for Vaesen! www.twitch.tv/questsandchaos

An urgent letter from a coastal town suggests there may be more than meets the eye in this secluded seaside sound...join us tonight on Quests & Chaos at 7pm Pacific for Vaesen! www.twitch.tv/questsandchaos

It's Spooky Season! Every Monday evening in October I'll be over with @questsandchaos.bsky.social running a game of Vaesen, and I'm very excited to sink my teeth into some folk horror (one of my favorite genres)!

Hey @dropout.tv, a pitch - a series of GRWM makeup tutorials based on looks from various shows. Specifically starting with Jordan’s eye look from S2E3 of Gastronauts that I might be mildly obsessed with trying to figure out. Just, y’know, as an idea for no particular reason.

This is a great scenario; I had a ton of fun playing it, and I highly recommend it to any Keepers out there looking for something fresh to throw to their players!

Being a fire crew in Arkham comes with more than the usual amount of excitement... Join us live now for another delightful show at the @miskatonicplayhouse.com! www.twitch.tv/miskatonicpl...

Missing census agents and a statistical anomaly in a town that may or may not exist start off this delicious two-part scenario over on @miskatonicplayhouse.com - join us live in just a couple minutes! www.twitch.tv/miskatonicpl...

Really trying to embrace the idea this summer of the way to have a crop top body is to have a body and wear a crop top… so far doing okay on the body image issues, but failing on the leaning bare skin against the seat of my car that was parked in the sun. 🫠

I swear, nobody wants to work these days.

We're about to start! I rolled the lowest luck I've had in a game yet! Should be great, so join us for a completely normal folk festival!

I'm at 0 HP, let's go! MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF CHROME AND FOG is back and I am once agian seeing if I will successfully be the first PC death! Join us live now at www.twitch.tv/vanalosswen

We're back! After a mid-season break, MIDNIGHT returns and we have even more questions than before, which is really saying something! Join us live now! www.twitch.tv/vanalosswen

We're live with the CAMPAIGN FINALE of Keys from the Golden Vault! With the Golden Vault compromised, the criminal factions converging, and the cursed book in hand, the team has a plan...this all ends tonight. www.twitch.tv/questsandchaos

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a truly beautiful game, and based solely on how bad I am at dodging and parrying just within the tutorial fights is confirmation that I should never actually attempt a Souls game no matter how badly I want to. 😅

We're back tonight with Midnight in the Garden of Chrome and Fog. There rave is getting violent, it definitely seems like we weren't told something, and I have one HP left...let's do this! www.twitch.tv/vanalosswen

We're back with another episode of Midnight in the Garden of Chrome and Fog over on @vanalosswen.bsky.social channel - let's go take another job and see what corpo secrets we unearth! Join us here: www.twitch.tv/vanalosswen

We're back tonight with Keys from the Golden Vault over on Quests & Chaos - let's heist a (secret from the mind of a guy who's a prisoner on the) train! Join us at 7pm Pacific at www.twitch.tv/questsandchaos

Hey friends - We're live now with Meme of the Month, and this time the Dungeon IS the Dragon! www.twitch.tv/majesticgoos...

We're live right night with MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF CHROME AND FOG over on Vanalosswen's Twitch channel...just because it's a down-time episode and we're short a couple players doesn't mean we're not gonna be absolute menaces! www.twitch.tv/vanalosswen

Keys from the Golden Vault is back! Tonight we're starting a 10-episode run straight through the last three modules to finally finish this weird pop-up campaign that I've constructed from this anthology of almost-heists. Join us tonight at 7pm Pacific on the Quests & Chaos Twitch!

As I said to my TTRPG group earlier…If you’ve already seen Conclave and you’re looking for more sexy papal fiction, may I recommend to you the series the Young Pope? I’m not making any commentary, I’m just saying it was a beautiful series and you get to watch a lot of Jude Law being A Vibe.

We have returned with Midnight in the Garden of Chrome and Fog, where we'll be dealing with the consequences of our train heist and...whatever the hell that was at the "abandoned" station... Starting shortly here: www.twitch.tv/vanalosswen

Getting random messages on Discord is increasingly reminiscent of getting random messages on a dating app - if we haven't already interacted in some way that I know who you are, and your opening line is just "hey, can we talk"...what am I supposed to do with that?

Today I'll be enjoying some light fictional horrors (for a change of pace) over at @miskatonicplayhouse.com as we play through the scenario "Together Again." Come and join us at 11:30 am Pacific! www.twitch.tv/miskatonicpl...

We're back tonight again with Midnight in the Garden of Chrome and Fog, our new Cities Without Number actual-play set in the maybe-too-near-future of a cyberpunk San Francisco Bay Area... Starting shortly here: www.twitch.tv/vanalosswen

Decided to start one of the many fiction podcasts I’ve had backlogged forever to get in a scripting mood…was not excepted to get jumpscared by the main character’s hometown being the not-particularly-notable town that I’m also from.

"The job market these days is rough, and some folks will take whatever they can to try and pad out their resumes, even if that means answering a mildly sketchy call for volunteers in Texas, of all places..." We're back with Meme of the Month over on the Majestic Goose Network at 4pm PST/ 7pm EST!

Join us tonight for the first episode of Midnight in the Garden of Chrome and Fog, a new Cities Without Number actual-play set in the maybe-too-near-future of a cyberpunk San Francisco Bay Area... Tonight starting at 7pm Pacific www.twitch.tv/vanalosswen

If we’re going to call it ChickLit, it’s only fair we shelve men’s books in the DickFic section.

This week’s trip to the bookstore ended in a large haul: 50% horror books by non-white authors, 50% sapphic romances. While I have other interests that aren’t fully represented here, this felt like a good step toward putting my money where my support is.

look i made it the 1979 ibm warning

I’m back on a Lakeberg Legacies kick and so far this run has been the most successful I’ve ever been. I’m at Year 40 (of 100, average difficulty): only one death, everyone is employed, birth rates thriving…major difference from previous runs is prioritizing public resources and no royalty. 😏

One of my parents (both of whom I live with, thanks pandemic) has decided to post right-wing apologist shit to social media. So if anyone happens to want to promote their queer merch/TTRPG for me to purchase and/or promote I wouldn't be mad...

We're back for Meme of the Month over on Majestic Goose Network and we're playing Thirsty Sword Lesbians! Join us now! www.twitch.tv/majesticgoos... #TTRPG #ThirstySwordLesbians
