Looks like PAXU 2026 falls on my birthday.

Sending love and joy to everyone who spent time the Haus of Dreams crew this past #PAXU ! Please reach out to us if you are down to play some games on stream or collab. Special thanks to our Director @madnessdiamond.bsky.social for spreading the word of creative endeavors! You are an all star!

Yesterday I received a sincere, heartfelt "bless your heart" from a North Carolina woman and didn't detect a hint of sarcasm to it. Oh no. I've started to blend in too well.

I'll have a meet and greet over at @brokendoorgames.bsky.social this Saturday at PAX Unplugged. I will be signing copies of their new TTRPG "Paragon" and my new art book "The Wanderer".

Find the Our Brilliant Ruin team at PAX Unplugged this weekend in Philadelphia at booth 4159 and get a chance to meet the real life Kacin von Ward! #paxunplugged #paxu #pax2025 #kacinvonward

We're at PAX Unplugged 2025! Stop by Booth 4159 from November 21-23 to get a copy of the OBR TTRPG Book, game supplements, comic book series, graphic novel, and get a sneak peek at our ARPG video game, Gravesend Castle. Lots of Freebies too! #paxunplugged #ttrpg #paxu #games

Go play with Abby. They run such an amazing game and have had nothing but astounding reviews. Source: Me, looking at the reviews.

I was so randomly confused when Crunchyroll billed me for nearly 250 the other day. Worried, exhausted a card detail had been leaked or something. So I dug into the reason why and... Well, I bought Zoids HMM kits back in March. Four of them, including the Monster Hunter ones. Good job, past me.

If you're in NC and worried ICE may be in your area--ask your mail carrier. We just got a huge stand up talk today about how to interact and what to do should they try to interfere with the mail.

Having quite a few people reach out to me bummed I won't be at PAX U is kind of... validating? Crazy. In either case, enjoy it twice as hard for me. Play games. Make friends. Join a community.

#AnimeFrontier is in less than a month! This year, all tips given to the Cosplay Repair booth will be donated to @cosplayer-ssn.bsky.social to help survivors of sexual assault & harassment in the cosplay community. Remember to use code AFAMBASSADOR25 for a discount on your badge for a discount!

For folks going to PAXU who wanna see me/meet up, you can find me all 3 days at the Hedron booth (Booth 4036) in the Expo Hall from open 'til 1:30PM as well as working Room 109 by the Game Hall both Friday & Saturday from 10-12PM, plus I'll be walking around & have my decks if you wanna sling cards!

🤫 Still keeping the secret panel show play test at PAXU under wraps, but I will announce who will be on this panel! Team 1: @nerdynightly.bsky.social and @claruspolaris.bsky.social Team 2: @scottykfitness.bsky.social and @atticus.haus Team 3: @jackthewhipper.bsky.social and @aabria.bsky.social

This year at PAXU, please come join us at the Amoirais and Hedron. We have roughly 140 game slots throughout the show featuring: - Punk is Dead - Call to Power - Eldritch Automata - Our Brilliant Ruin - The Dark Carnival And so many others. 10 AM - 12 AM Fri, Sat 10 AM to 6 PM Sun

Every time someone speaks for equality BUT leaves out Natives… Natives see it. We don’t often say anything. But we see it. We get the message that you might not even mean, but because you’re part of US society, you still do.

Anyone looking to play Call to Power can do so by either searching "Call to Power" or "Amoirais". For that and any of the other games our GMs are running, please feel free to stop by our booth or boutique room and let us know how you enjoyed it, as well as what's next!

The Riftwell has been disrupted! We'll be rescheduling the finale for Saturday, November 15 @ 3pm ET for the finale, apologies for any inconveniences! If you're interested in playing Call To Power, please be sure to check out sign-ups for PAX Unplugged:

A friend of mine has a godundme up for medical expenses due to spinal injuries. If any of you would be willing to contribute, I’d be grateful. gofund.me/89e0c1c6d

If you taxed every one of America's billionaires such that they paid their actual fair share based upon what everyone else in America pays in taxes (roughly 18%), you could afford a SNAP support benefit for every American household at 1000 per month. Call it Universal Basic Food Subsidy.

It's going to be told in three parts. The first is establishing board state while looking at the clock as someone hovers over the 6/11/5 hex. The second is the debate for the robber hit midgame. The last is the person in second trying their best to stop the bad game winning trade by doing math.

Time to finally play as a kindred I've always wanted to be as of a year ago. Louis Pasteur.

In addition to Stelleluna's AP of Call to Power, if you would like to play it yourself you can head over to Project Hedron where we are hosting our first official Amoirais Online Gaming Event featuring: - Call to Power - Eldritch Automata - The Black Ballad and The Dark Carnival Link below.

Starting this Saturday @ 3pm ET — Echoes of Living Curses have begun to ring through the realms, untamed and uncontrolled, so it is the Seekers that must answer the call to stop them. Please join us for our 4-shot of CALL TO POWER, sponsored by @projecthedron.bsky.social on twitch.tv/stellaluna 🔥

I guess I should ask if someone at some point wants to help playtest an Expedition 33 inspired TTRPG system I'm going to debut at a future GenCon. You know. Because something about creating a system which rewards intuitive exploration, problem solving and a touch of math and music feels... right.

Part of why I love being in a Union: - The concept of being in an "acting position role" while waiting on procedural delays means I can grieve to get the back pay I deserve - Actual support in the work place - Guarantee of basic contract rights and pay - Affordable healthcare

It's October which means it's time to already plan for GenCon.

✨Transmission Received: My Gen Con debrief is live on Patreon! From panels & workshops to games, and reunions with crewmates, it was a fun weekend filled with plenty of LARP chats. 💻 Check out the full report and relive the adventure with me: www.patreon.com/posts/136280...

TONIGHT! Check out this AMAZING all drag charity actual play with @projectmedusattrpg.bsky.social Ft ✨me✨, @persephiroth.bsky.social @shellyvonmiller.bsky.social @dragtrashly.com @londynbradshaw.bsky.social & @madnessdiamond.bsky.social TONIGHT at 8PM EST

To close out our first year as TTRPGive with our event, Power Word Resist, we have confirmed our donations to RAINN and GenderNexus in the amounts of $4500 each for a total of $9000. The support the community and atmosphere GenCon provided us was truly amazing. Next year will be bigger and better.

If you want a TTRPG title which blends Edwardian Horror with open world landscaping, elements of mystery and subterfuge, and people being on both ends of trying their best to survive within their means--and being the absolute worst. This game is as beautiful as it is horrifying.

If you had asked me 10, 5, 2, or 1 year ago, no. I would not have had President of a registered (soon) 501(3)(c) as a thing I'd be. So uh. Let's go?

An amazingly close friend is currently hitting a bunch of us with the power point presentation of how she bagged her current fiance. This is the most unhinged, most wild, most... I don't even know. But somehow? Just somehow? This is all so incredibly endearing. And yet, terrifying. My friends.

Low-key, informal announcement: On September 7th, we're streaming #Minecraft with #CrowdControl to raise money for @trevorproject.bsky.social! I hope we can raise $250 in 5 hours, and I believe in us!

On Twitch with @tappytoeclaws.bsky.social and we’re still raising money!! Pull up at twitch.tv/tappytoeclaws

The amount I just deep belly laughed at this is insurmountable. You can do it too on wednesday at the Indy Repertory Theatre in Downtown Indianapolis starting at 6:30 PM. powerwordresist.com

Spoke with Surena, checked in, and I’m only going to say a few things. (Even if she did say I can let the chopper sing) The only reason I’m saying anything is because while everyone wants to step away “until they have all the facts”, that didn’t stop many people from spreading the lies via texts.

You know you're doing the right thing when you're pissing off a fascist who claims Queer and SA Survivors are "broken" and by supporting charities which aid these, and other people through direct means you are "allowing them to remain broken." The only broken thing is your personal values, my guy.

@madnessdiamond.bsky.social has put in a ton of work for this one, and @cheesecakepanda.bsky.social and @/crashcandy_cosplay are fitting this into their super packed schedule of workshops. And while I haven't met @shellyvonmiller.bsky.social I've heard nothing but good things. #GenCon2025 #GenCon

No Native person wants a European American to be sorry or feel sorry about history we only want you to acknowledge the pain it caused in our community. Its not your fault. Your only fault is refusing to unlearn racism but if your practicing unlearning with progress then your gold.

Please be sure to come out to this in order to keep expanding and make voices louder despite the efforts of suppression. You can get your (free) ticket if you are attending Gen Con at: www.gencon.com/events/282178

We've sold over 100 tickets for Power Word Resist now. We still have a lot to go to make this as big as possible. Help us realize something that started with a splash of audacity and "haha but what if..." July 30th, Indianapolis, 6:30 PM to 10 PM.

GenCon is coming. Here's two places you're guaranteed to see me. #gencon #ttrpg #candelaobscura #themagnusarchives

Run SLAUGHTER NIGHT at Gencon! We need some help showing off our new board game coming to Kickstarter: We have TWO badges available for folks who can run several 1hr games every day, Thurs-Sun! If you don't need a badge or can't run many, we'll pay $10 per game. Apply: forms.gle/Q5eynVoX2bN2...

All of y’all replying better support this show tomorrow cant make it? Send us a lil digital tip our buy a ticket to support the show! www.d20burlesque.com/store/produc...

Hey y'all, no Friday Morning Magic tomorrow. Instead I'll be slinging cards & helping the awesome Preators For Change team raise money for charity! I'll be live at 1:15PM EST with some awesome folks in an all Phyrexian game playing everyone's favorite Giger Mommy: Elesh Norn, Mother Of Machines! :D

New project in the works! A starter set that gets you up and running with minimal fuss, with a story that features syllokinetic catastrophe and — of course — Ruin working its entropy in the shadows.

Hey! Do you live in New York? Do I make you laugh? Great! I have a show in NY this Sunday at Second City in Brooklyn! D&D that night? Bring the whole game! Work? Call in sick! Pull up! Link: secondcityus.my.salesforce-sites.com/ticket/#/ins...

Just to give some perspective on how Prime Day affects your local postal workers and post office: Today we received 63 pallets of Amazon products. We only cleared 31 of them before deliveries. Tomorrow we expect another 30. Not including in network mail. Expect delays. Pray for my knees.

For any interested in trying out Eldritch Automata and aren't able to make it to a convention like GenCon, I bring you Con-shots! I'll be running convention style one-shots from systems I learn for the cons and then bringing that experience right to your home #HorrorTTRPG #StartPlaying #TTRPGs
