I've been rewatching the hunger games films since I just finished reading the prequels and man the scene at the beginning of catching fire in district 11 hits so much harder post-2020

grant messaged me abt this idea and he wasn't sure if he was actually gonna use it and I had to threaten him to make it happen bc I loved it so much /half joke

Closing out winter with DEATH OF THE AUTHOR by @goblinmixtape.bsky.social A romance author attempts to write a love story according to their vision, but the main character has another vision Starring @jienbirb.bsky.social & @rosatyrs.bsky.social

I seriously cannot WAIT to be able to talk about the stuff I have coming up in early 2026. we are COOKING UP INSANE STUFF IN THESE LABS

this is a silly description for what I do but it's smth I've gotten compliments on a lot haha I always ask the other players Good Questions during session zeroes that rlly help them figure out their characters and now I'm helping on the GM end as a dramaturg haha

hire me to ask you questions about your world building / gm plans and give tiny bits of input that push you down a hill in your brain and now you're rolling down gathering inspiration and adding cool stuff like your story is a katamari ball (you don't need to pay me I'll just do it for free)

They were right, having a dramaturg IS a good idea

creative collaboration with @gamemastermonday.bsky.social is always a joy

finally being let out of the “eldritch horror and religious allegory” cage and starting my reign of chaos tonight 😈 tune into Sword and Key tonight at 7pm est for what i can only guarantee you is nothing but shenanigans

sometimes housekeeping takes me way less time and i get to tell my executive dysfunction brain gremlins "see? that wasnt so bad, that didnt take too long!!" and sometimes i keep getting sidetracked and forgetting what i was doing and it's been six hours and i'm 16.2% done with twelve diff tasks

It appears to be the season of shameless self promotion so here we go: Let me and/or @zoupmachine.bsky.social GM for you/play on your channels next year We’re both award nominated idiots who like one shots and miniseries and can do any genre/mood you throw at us (that’s kinda our thing at gmm)

the eternal conflict of my desire to wear noise cancelling headphones to help me focus versus my sinus issues that make wearing noise cancelling headphones too much physically uncomfortable

I wanna tack onto this if I can: “Rising tides raises all ships. Some ships will rise higher than others.” Your success may directly lead to someone seeing MORE success than you And if that prospect doesn’t fill you with you and excitement, don’t bother building the boat

i'm just pondering why i like/dislike certain game systems ive tried this year this morning while i fold laundry lol dont mind meeeeee

idk if this is a hot take but i always raise my eyebrows when ppl say pbta systems provide more narrative flexibility than crunchier rulesets bc in my experience a lot (though not all) of the moves and playbooks really pigeonhole players into certain narrative flavors and pathways that frustrate me

i hate how much accidentally sleeping in fucks with my routine like did i plan on doing anything before 10am? no. but bc i slept in until 9am instead of getting up at 7:30 for some reason i cant start on my to-do list at 10am

one of the downsides of being on tech duty at my job is that sometimes I'll take a retinal photo and see smth weird and go "oh I wonder what that is" but I can't ask the doctor because she's busy and I have to sit there, burning with curiosity and unable to satisfy it, and be productive anyway.

A true honor among honors To get to play with the very best in the scene, to feature indie titles, and now to have a chance to showcase all these incredible performers and works A huge thank you to the TTAF, let’s go get some hardware baby

had the thought "kpop demon hunters inspired blazing hymn game with the mechas reflavored as just magic" and I have a need to play blazing hymn again IMMEDIATELY

I hope the person who told me that I have chappell roan high femme trans ally vibes in the rainbow roll fest twitch chat six months ago is having a nice day

I'd like to do a bit more learning about voice acting etc since my lack of distinct Character Voices bothers me a bit but there's also like. this shame that I don't already have that skill/experience at my age orz

back to broadhurst!!! join us for the next installment in our Draw Steel adventure! ⚔️ twitch.tv/lookingformo...

about to embark on a harrowing journey (fixing up and repainting a super beat up laminate + chipboard bookshelf even tho those are notoriously difficult to paint well)

it's actually my job to make everything i touch more aro-coded and that includes the shows where my character is dating someone

the three B's of @gamemastermonday.bsky.social : bunnies bibles and baseballs

my three favorite types of @gamemastermonday.bsky.social episodes: 1. absurdist side splitting humor 2. direct allegory of the bible 3. baseball

Convention Zero, fka FomoCon, is a free online tabletop convention! We have games, live APs, panels, movie nights, & so much more! We are working on a spring con! 👀 Does this interest you? Do you have a preferred weekend? What are you most looking forward to?!! See you this Spring!!

my 3 favorite types of gmm episodes 1. women in love 2. friendship (and this also counts as women in love) 3. me, specifically, making grant's life a living hell (this is an act of love)

sorry for getting sappy about the real meaning of idol culture at 8pm on a Sunday on bsky dot app

basically everything I do is bc I want people to see me having fun and have fun seeing me having fun and then go "wow! I could have fun doing that too!" and then go do that. passing the baton down the line of inspiration ("ugly crying bc I'm so invested in the story" counts as having fun here)

as a player/performer, I got into AP bc I wanted to publicly scream about how much I love the games and stories at my tables but felt bad that the vast majority of ppl would be out of the loop abt what I'm yelling abt. doing AP means if ppl are interested, they can be in the loop if they want

few things make me regret my hubris more than when I sit down to learn a ttrpg system that I've been warned is crunchy and complicated on my own, and four hours later have to give up on doing it on my own and shamefully go ask for help from my GM

my characters dont have a Tragic Backstory often bc i always have this weird internal shame barrier i have to overcome to do it. like my first instinct is always "just some girl motivated to adventure bc curiosity / discovery / ambition / etc" and when i DO think of smth sad im embarrassed abt it

currently going bonkers figuring out a character's backstory but no one else in that game group is online to hear my ideas and I've reached the point of the "I've sent too many messages in a row without anyone else saying anything" shame spiral. thank you for being with me during this difficult time

I'm helping a person with a project in 2026 - I won't be a player OR a GM for this!!! but a secret third thing 👀 we just had one of our initial production meetings and I am SO

okay I crunched the numbers. my counts for 2025: - played 17 different ttrpg systems in AP projects - 12 of which were new to me - 19 different characters - on 12 different channels - for a total of 60 pre-recorded episodes and 35 livestreams (!!!) - Participated in 10 fundraisers

(whispers) Hey wanna know a secret? Cast Away: The Tundra bios start coming out on Monday 👀 Just don't tell anyone I told you, okay?

I think I might need to add "autistic coded spooky yet charming fae being" to my list of go-to character archetypes at this point ngl

when another player tells me "I want my character to come across as [xyz vibe / personality trait]" and I think they nail it I always go out of my way to point it out and complement them about it bc it always makes me SUPER happy when someone says it to me

We're going OFF THE RAILS! Join us for a game of Draw Steel as our party from Looking for Mom's Learn to Play series continues onward, now with *Not* The Delian Tomb! live at 6:30 central! twitch.tv/lookingformo...

Introduce Yourself in Five #TTRPG Classes 🎲🎲 I've been thinking abt this for multiple days - Troubadour - Auteur Class Act (Draw Steel) - The Mundane (Monster of the Week) - The Fae (Monsterhearts 2) - Class 04 Messer (Blazing Hymn) - Paladin - Oath of Glory (D&D 5e. sorry for including d&d)

When I was gm'ing a campaign I made an anonymous Google form for the players to give each other compliments and grant inspiration to one another and called it the snap jar. This is not a joke to me

it's my aim to be the Elle Woods of knowing ttrpg rules. you look at me and my commitment to the bit and roleplay and go "surely she doesn't have an enormous amount of rules lawyer knowledge" but I got a 179 on the ttrpg lsat and got into ttrpg Harvard

the gods made me pretty and a great cook and funny and a joy to be around as a gift to humanity and then made me arospec so no one could marry me as a punishment to humanity (context: i just made some really fantastic tortellini)

I just realized I'm wearing the same shirt in six of the eight photos in the second collage (and also a different same shirt in the remaining two) I DON'T OWN A LOT OF BLACK SHIRTS LOL

okay one petty post as a treat I know this was a typo but you said it, not me, bud. I said "I'm blocking you because I don't want to see your posts" and you literally said "you're blocking me because this DOES make me worse than you" soooo lol

people using the fact critical role used to have an all white cast as an attempt at a "gotcha! this makes my all white cast fine actually" card to play when they're criticized is a great illustration on why critical role having an all white cast wasn't okay actually

also here's a roundup of some of my fave AP stream looks from this year! I did a lot more dark and spooky than cute and sparkly in 2025 haha

I didn't manage to track actual number of sessions/hours played but I can say in 2025 I managed to play 15 different ttrpg systems, the majority of which were new-to-me, and that's pretty neat

already thinking abt my birthday fundraiser for 2026... previously the channels I've been playing on just let me promo it on stuff that was already happening but I'm feeling encouraged by how much I've managed to help fundraise this year and what if... I planned streams w that specific purpose...
