Happy Thanksgiving!

Good Monday morning friends! A Healthy List: Sleep more Eat less sugar Roll more dice Remove clutter Stay teachable Show gratitude Actually exercise Drink more water Read & write more Perform random acts of kindness Spend quality time with loved ones #MondayMotivation

Sundays have turned into baking days. I’m not mad about this.

To procrastinate from cleaning, have done thanksgiving grocery shopping, have pizza dough doing it’s final rise for dinner, sourdough bread in day 1 (which I need for a recipe), and Darla has been fed.

Grateful to Michael Keaton, who lost a nephew to overdose, to come out swinging for my campaign—and for what is right!

Black Spencer!

More Ogre - this scenario (Mini Breakthrough) is a great quick scenario.

Happy 55th Exploding Whale Day! (This was written in 2020 which is why it says 50th, mmkay?)

I needed some escapism today. I brought out one of my favorite sci-fi wargames, Steve Jackson's Ogre. Here, my PanEuro forces are getting a shalacking by the Combine Ogre that shrugs off my attacks while dispatching my units with contempt. It's up to the infantry to save my CP now! #Ogre #Wargaming

Apocalypse World taught me a lot about RPG design, and I'm excited to try the new edition. @lumpley.bsky.social has taught me many things over the years, and it's thrilling to see the success that he and @megueyb.bsky.social have achieved. www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum...

Sunday morning sourdough bread!

Christopher does good stuff. If you're a GURPS fan, this is worth checking out.

This is such a great game!

In a brilliant move - it’s 8:30 at night and I just put in a log of bread to bake because I forgot about it playing a game.

How many Sith does it take to change a lightbulb? None. They like it on the dark side. A #StarWars Dad Jokes sequel?! Never tell me the odds! STAR WARS DAD JOKES STRIKE BACK, coming April 28, 2026 and now available to preorder ✨

Given how complex the rules are that are still simultaneously both elegant and fun. The only logical answer is “Designed by Aliens.”

This makes me even sadder that I missed Gamehole Con, but super excited about this. I think that all GURPS needs is clarity. The game itself is still very, very elegant.

Yesterday was a reading day (Mark Hoppus’ Autobiography and started a biography on the Talking Heads), but today was a cooking and guitar day. Also made soup, enchiladas, and pizza. Plus shortbread cookies.

I love RPGs and I love history, so instabacking this was a no-brainer for me. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e...

Knights of the Last Call has a nearly 5-hour deep dive into 13th Age 2E. Insightful, funny, and full of sharp takes for fans old and new. A great watch for anyone curious about the game. #13thAge #TTRPG bit.ly/4ojXQtH

For #IndigenousPeoplesDay, enjoy this thread of past articles wherein I put a Native lens to pop culture. Always grateful for @io9dotcom.bsky.social letting me talk about Tusken Raiders in #StarWars and how they evolved in The Book of Boba Fett: gizmodo.com/how-the-book...

Terribly sad to hear of the passing of @robowieland.bsky.social - he was a great part of the gaming community.

If you’re running for office in the U.S. and this is one of your campaign promises, odds are you have my vote.

Putting out a call: if you were part of WOTC’s late-2010s live events (Stream of Many Eyes, D&D Live, The Descent), I would love to talk to you as part of the Actual Play book. [email protected] will reach me, either to schedule a chat or to share your memories. Please feel free to share.

Finished Jungle Commandos - The Battle for Arakan, Burma 1945 by @lmbd1418.bsky.social on a lovely, rare cool morning in NOLA. It was fantastic. As a student of Japanese history, I knew almost nothing about what took place in Burma. Now I feel the door has been opened and ….

October 11, 2025 is a milestone in comedy history. Not only is it the 50th anniversary of the 1st SNL, today is also the final new Dr. Demento show. After 55 years, Barret Hansen is hanging up his top hat. Please go to drdemento.com to hear his all time demented top 40 countdown special.

Congratulations to the happy couple

Come out and say hey today at Japan Fest at NOMA! The Krewe will be working the JSNO booth on the second floor, just outside the elevators! We’ll have some raffles, free stuff (KREWE OF JAPAN STICKERS!), & a Samurai Armor Try-On Station! Come on out!! Mention you listen to the podcast!

My home state does not disappoint.

Oh hey!... Looks like we're just $396 away from unlocking another Pathfinder Quest stretch goal!

Trying to start Jungle Commandos by @lmbd1418.bsky.social but my cat is fuzzy and purring and making it very, very hard to get anywhere fast. It’s fantastic so far though.

Since I just sold a copy (YAY!), I'm going to #SelfPromoSaturday what I think is my best named game: Claws & Affect - Cats versus the Supernatural. And "affect" is used correctly! #ttrpgs #cats #IndieGames kpetker.itch.io/claws-affect

Watching Keeping Up Appearances in honor of Patricia Routledge and reading about the Yakuza. Until I unceremoniously fall asleep.

Alright, next #DragonAscendant is edited. Going live on the Patreon shortly.
