Just. Ooph. Cleaning up messes.

Stamps going up 4 cents in late July. To 82 cents.

3/7 live shows approved for Gen Con.

It's Day 2 of the Paragons Starter Kit Kickstarter campaign, so it's time for me to talk about the cool people who helped make this thing possible. Here's a short thread, to keep things organized! 🧵

Pokémon - Nap Time I hid a ton of Pokémon in this piece. How many can you find?

I'm logging off to get some work done. I sure hope nobody backs my Kickstarter while I'm gone 🤭

I'd like to apologize in advance for posting daily about my Kickstarter. If you're so inclined, the best way to shut me up is to hit all the stretch goals quickly so I have nothing to talk about. Launching in 20 minutes: www.kickstarter.com/projects/bro...

Help get this game funded and get to play it at ACEN (Anime Central) and Gen Con this year.

Friendly reminder trans people have and will always exist throughout human history.

Not a joke - The Paragons Starter Kit Kickstarter campaign launches next week and we're incredibly close to 600 followers If you like superheroes, tabletop roleplaying games, and want to help us make the RPG industry better for creatives, check out the campaign! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bro...

We've crossed $10,000 raised for @tccidaho.bsky.social & @transaffirminc.bsky.social ! Next goal: $25,000!

I'm baffled to know that, out of all of the justices on the supreme court, somehow, some way, in some bizzaro-world twist, Neil Gorsuch is the one that asks Sauer about Native American citizenship during today's hearing, with a stance that actively supports Native rights and affirms them as citizens

So that everyone is aware, my discord account has been hacked. Please disregard any strange messages from my discord account until I notify everyone that I have it back again.

Samba's bloodwork came back ridiculously clean after a little scare with a clump of skin by her shoulders. We've also been worried about her weight gain but my mom just keeps overfeeding Samba and makes her fat. I'm just the proud dog parent of a fat, happy, healthy dog who I'd commit crimes for.

Well if this union grievance goes through, that's about 8k in due back pay, two weeks of sick pay, and two weeks of vacation I'd get back. So here's hoping.

It's amazing how one former employer can owe so many people thousands upon thousands of dollars, on top of a myriad of other things, yet somehow still find money for multiple full vacations in a year. I wish I could be so morally bankrupt.

We're still building hype for the Paragons Starter Kit Kickstarter campaign, and now that we've ordered our product samples, we're excited to share our box mock-up! Follow along to play this cinematic superhero RPG: www.kickstarter.com/projects/bro...

I wonder who at Indeed thinks this is a *good* email and not ominous to hell.

Titans of the Deep is an official operation for Eldritch Automata. Designed to be completed in 6-10 hours of play, everything from pre-generated characters, and an updated rule set come bundled together in a single book. Out now! noblemannick.itch.io/titans-of-th...

Today marks a cruel anniversary as I am now just as many years without my dad as I was with him. I'd like to think he appreciates my audacity.

Well. If my union steward isn't going to lift a finger to help a 10 month long situation, I may as well become my own union steward, right? Finally hitting send on that email to the national union president.

I'm doing charity fundraising for National Black Trans Advocacy Coalition. We need to support both the Black community & the Trans community and I'm putting my money where my mouth is: I set a $2000 goal. If we hit the goal? I'm cutting my hair and donating the hair too. tiltify.com/@anoriand-th...

The fact Roxanne Perez cosplayed Shego in the Women's Royal Rumble is pretty great.

After a very brief discussion with the other board members, Power Word Resist will be supporting @gendernexus.bsky.social and @unitedwedream.org at this year's charity show during the Wednesday of GenCon, at the Indy Repertory Theatre.

Man, no one could have told me in 2024 or 2025 how bonkers 2026 was going to start off for me professionally.

The final month of 2025 for me has been an absolute whirlwind, and that's putting it lightly. A grand-uncle passed who I had no idea existed, leaving some degree of inheritance. There's at least 9 other heirs on one side. My great grandfather had a second secret family. And that's only the tip.

Amarant Coral - Big time Gruul, opponent wide commander, and it can sync up well with Firebending + Blazing Shoal Ragost, Deft Gastronaut - Treasure tokens turn into ping tokens with easy generation. And Tifa, Martial Artist - Big swings fun times. Swing again.

Sometimes I have to wonder if there is an autistic flag to the question "What is your favorite dinosaur?" And I think I have the answer. It's Ankylosaurus. Source: myself and four other autistic friends. Ankylosaur has: - Armor - Cool head spikes - And a big ole' club Spicomellus close second.

To those I would have normally begun coordinating Gen Con with, but have found that I've been crickets lately: Sorry, this holiday season at the post office is really, really, really kicking my ass. Just one more week left, and then it's right into planning. If you want to host things, just ask.

I open up the Eldritch Automata Quicklaunch with my favorite quote from End of Evangelion "The fate of destruction is also the joy of rebirth", and now more than ever I feel ever more connected to this sentence.

If you're looking to get some gaming in this weekend, Amoirais is hosting its second Online Gaming Weekend on Friday and Saturday. We're featuring a session per day of Call to Power, lauded as Dark Souls meets Jujutsu Kaisen. We are also offering The Dark Carnival (5E) and Eldritch Automata.

Hey! You want to see a bunch of cool, nerdy, ttrpg players do a stage reading of Elf? Of course you do! Check us out tomorrow Dec 11 at 7pm est on Twitch for a little of holiday cheer as we raise money for Doctors Without Borders! #ttrpg #stagereading #dndcreators

I don't need a whole ton of recognition from others to feel appreciated. Sometimes it's just a happy birthday text in the evening from my two oldest friends. That's plenty enough for me. 36 might not be too bad if you ignore the knee and back pains.

I'm totally blown away by this commission piece I received from Crashcandy cosplay (www.instagram.com/crashcandy_c...) She absolutely brought this piece to life and did an incredible job. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Because of course I would forget. I'm not great at taking photos by any means, but here are a couple of d o g s. Brown red-nosed pit is Samba, my 3 year old girl. All white with some gray blue nose is Rex, my brother's dog, who is just 5 months.

Babysitting my brother's puppy again. The good news: He and Samba engage in full play mode which fills me with joy. The bad news: He's smack dab in the middle of mega-teething. He is a shark. And the world is but a simple bit of iron rebar he must chew for satisfaction.

One day, Expedition 33 is going to be one of those lessons in writing on how to write characters and plot with subversion that makes you *feel* something, narrative twists and all. I really, really, really want to see or put together a sequel in some format that explores the PvW conflict.

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

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.
