Back in 1988 when I began playing RPGs, I could never have imagined how it would grow into the global force it now is & that I would play some small part in it. An emphatic THANK YOU to the entire cast & crew for bringing dreams and stories to life on stage through D&D!! 🎲🫶🔥

I loved running this scenario! Can't wait to jump back into Regency Cthulhu this December. Details coming soon!

Recording RuneQuest this evening with @theoldwayspodcast cast & crew. My favorite way to spend my Monday evening! #RPG #TTRPG #tabletopgames #games #gaming #GamerGirl #RPGCreator #ActualPlayActor #FreelancerLife #Runequest #Chaosium #New #ActualPlay #TheOldWaysPodcast

Someone please explain to me how FOUR minutes is enough time to navigate a three story factory-sized building while stopping at a locker, using the toilet, and still moving from one classroom to another on time?!?! I know many adults that couldn't do this, so why do we expect young children to?? 🤬😡

I'm taking today off to rest and spend time with the family. My brain meats, on the other hand, are choosing to point out all of the faults & missteps of the 1st draft I turned in yesterday. Hooray for a keen intellect, an eye for detail, & a trauma-rooted neurodivergent need for perfection.

I just gave birth to the first draft of my newest scenario. Sent out to the powers that be for review and feedback. I'll be nervous later. For now, I'm wiped!

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

I have witnessed pumpkin spice coffee creamer in a grocery store today. My season approaches.

As much as I wish I was at Gen Con this week, I have a ton of work to do; recording pick-ups, production notes, editing, & the 1st draft of a new scenario due by the 8th. 😳 Roll some dice for me this week. See you at a con down the road soon!🎲 #GamerGirl #RPGCreator #ActualPlayActor #FreelancerLife

EGG Con is now part of the history books & I'm transitioning back into Real Life™️. I had a wonderful time immersing myself in the inspiring energy of so many passionate creators & attendees. Excited to see what magic stems from the whirlwind of the last several days in Lake Geneva!

EGG Con is winding down for another year and I'm tired, but happy for the time we had together. This was a recharge I desperately needed and now feel ready to get back to what I love... creating!

This was intense! Matt "Doc" Tracy's brilliant scenario brought to life on the @miskatonicplayhouse.com!

I'm going live on Twitch to chat about conventions past, present, and future while I test out my new channel setup. Come by and say Hi! www.twitch.tv/valygirl_hea... #RPG #TTRPG #tabletopgames #Live #games #gaming #GamesWeLove #GamerGirl #ActualPlayActor #FreelancerLife

Today is a tough day. Met w/ lawyer to begin the process of obtaining guardianship over our soon-to-be "adult" son. Some intake questions & a discussion later, papers are signed, $3000 paid, & plan is set in motion. I know it's for the best, but this hurts in ways I find challenging to describe.

Recording session for RuneQuest "Adventures in Dragon Pass" with @theoldways.bsky.social tonight. Always feels great to be behind the mic with some amazing people! #RuneQuest #Chaosium #New #ActualPlay #RPG #TTRPG #tabletopgames #GamesWeLove #GamerGirl #ActualPlayActor #FreelancerLife

A moment of zen in the chaos of the world. To be a pampered and beloved house cat without a care...

The journey continues in our RuneQuest "Adventures in Dragon Pass" series at @theoldways.bsky.social Our party is reminded that the best of intentions can have dire consequences, both in the short and long term... directory.libsyn.com/episode/inde...

No writing today as I spent six hours working on the "day job" to-do list after a horrible night of insomnia. I think I'll reward myself with some mount farming time in World of Warcraft! #GottaFarmThemAll

Yesterday, I sat in the Keeper chair for Pulp Cthulhu w/ @lightlessbeacons.bsky.social. Today, I'm back in @theoldways.bsky.social studio to record more "Adventures in Dragon Pass". My inner theater kid is very, very happy!

It appears to be merely a blank screen, but that tiny white line holds a slow-burning tale of fear... and the terror is only beginning. "Slow Boat to China", pt.1 with @lightlessbeacons.bsky.social. Coming soon! #LightlessBeacons #PulpCthulhu #Chaosium #RPG #TTRPG #ActualPlay

Today's agenda includes reviewing Pt1 raw recordings & taking notes in preparation for recording 'Slow Boat to China' Pt2 (Pulp Cthulhu) w/ @lightlessbeacons.bsky.social, setting recording dates for a new Delta Green production w/New Dawn, & a streaming area overhaul w/ @theoldways.bsky.social!! 🤩😵‍💫🎉

I had an absolute blast playing my first Cypher system game with the incredible cast & crew of @theoldways.bsky.social, raising funds for lupus research.

TONIGHT! Friday 27th at 7pm CDT/8pm EDT/5pm PDT

I had concerns & trepidation going into Origins 2025, but I'm very glad I went. Soaking in the positive energy of friends, surrounded by industry fellows, & the "rainbows of many colors" inclusivity, Origins reminded me of why I love this community so dearly. See you in 2026, Columbus!

We're doing it LIVE for charity this Friday!

Origins Day 1 is kicking off early, but smoothly. The self-service badge & ticket printing took 5 min! Vendor hall opens at Noon and my first game starts at 2pm. The energy is laid back and filled with the promise of many memorable moments. Here's to hoping! 🤞🤞

Sometimes, you need to celebrate how far you've come and remind yourself that it's worth it to keep going. Ok, Origins. Let's do this!

Theory debate with my spousal unit (also a creator) regarding the boundaries of D&D's 'Minor Illusion' spell. The subject in question: Why can't a character cast a Minor Illusion of a person or living creature? Or should they be allowed to do so and under what circumstances? Discuss!
