I love the diversity of gaming and hobby shops in Cleveland. They support each other by referring clients to one another. They also support their communities. As temperatures soar, several are opening their doors as cooling centers.

Writing a game is as much an exercise in creative narrative as it is a technical writing experience. One shapes the work, the other ensures clarity and minimizes edge cases.

One of my favorite experiences as a GM was using FATE from @evilhat.bsky.social to introduce parents and clinicians to Gaming as Therapy. A lot of research has been done on the subject of Therapeutic Gaming since I ran my sessions in 2015 & 2016. I'm thankful for everyone working on the subject.

The Cat Distribution System really showed up today. We went from zero to six cats in under two hours. My wife was on her way to adopt a bonded pair of ten-month-olds when I was contacted about fostering four kittens. Waiting on final vaccinations for our two & we'll take home the litter of them.

Spent the afternoon at the Buckland Museum of Witchcraft & Magick, exploring the ritual objects used by many of modern wicca's well known practitioners. The green notebook, from Kmart, is where Raymond Buckland wrote the manuscript that became his complete book of witchcraft.

John Blanche defined the grimdark vibe of Warhammer 40k with his imagery.

Orcas are like the pandas of the sea, except the subsist on seals and billionaire yachts.

Mikey Day can tell when you if it's cake, and when you will die.

Serving up a homemade four-way of Cincinnati Chili. What is your favorite regional dish?

Three hours of game, with one or two hours of socializing when playing with friends. Doesn't matter if it's in-person or online. A four-hour block at a convention.
