World of Warcraft is doing a rerun event for the Legion expansion but I don't think it can fully recreate my Legion experience (doing an Antorus raid with a streamer friend whose guildmates apparently needed multiple reminders not to shout slurs "ironically")

I read it, it whips

Releasing my second experiment in branching into fiction in a little over a week. This one is "what if the Hard Wired Island guy got into litRPG". My third project is also normal

So, I get several scam emails like this a day, but there's something special about a man wanting to write articles about casinos and sports betting whose fake name is Robert Poverty.

Been playing more Root lately

Dick Cheney, Lowtax, and Kanzi the bonobo hugging it out in Heaven 🙏👼🐵

You’re a “leftist?” Hold on a minute. It says here you used to offer “running lessons” in EverQuest where you’d convince newbies to /follow you and run them directly into a goblin cave to harvest their gear. I don’t seem to remember Marx mentioning that in Das Kapital

PowerWash Simulator only they get into my ears Fantastic Voyage-style

heh. more sportsball? uh... i see you're all obsessing over sports ball tonight. oh you're watching the Sports? [puts down gamepad and slides it across the table towards you and raises one eyebrow] Have you heard of a game called Dark Souls 2? Its not actually very good.

Made a channel in my Discord called secret-cow-level where you can only post media from the 2000s. I'm celebrating my birthday month in style

Back when Warcraft players actually used the realm forums, there was a PvPer in mine who loved to trash-talk and made wild claims all the time. I started saving his old posts and replying to new ones with whichever one contradicted him. By the end he was screaming at me to kill myself. Miss that guy

Realising I should have made sure I had the installers for the Affinity programs I bought

Making a second account that just quotes all my posts with "This Post Is Incredible" thumbnails

The year is 2025. The rarest skill in the world is acting normal for like 15 minutes. For me of course it's effortless

Doing some planning for my Spelljammer campaign. I have two problems: 1. I need to define more of the cultures on the PCs' homeworld, including the homeland of the elves 2. I'm a big fan of Warcraft elves

If you're running an RPG campaign, a great thing to do is to maintain some kind of journal of characters the PCs meet but also to give them star rankings like they were gacha game characters

time to go to sleep! Here's some totally out of context text from a TTRPG sourcebook! If you can guess which one it is or respond with "dragon, what the fuck" you win a prize!

Sent my next fiction project to some mutuals because I needed feedback to know how to improve it. Feedback was positive. Now I need feedback because I like hearing people say my shit rocks. The vicious cycle.

Science Class! Dissect a Goomba

Really appreciate that the app version of the board game Root has a global chat

I found out I have diabetes a couple months ago. Been sitting on this information so every time a friend asks how I'm going I can say "Great! I have diabetes"

Been seeing a lot of these ads that open with "so you know how AI is dogshit?" lately and lol, but also lmao

Last minute prep for my next Spelljammer game, currently in the middle of an increasingly long adventure on this world. I wanna expand the list of local deities - I decided the region they're in has one for every alignment, and each one represents a different class, but I've only done four so far

Gotta do some very serious Thinking for my current project: what is a weird way to fold pants

this guy talked to an LLM about physics and is convinced he proved the world is mushrooms

My last pair of headphones turned out to have a weak spot that breaks often (whoops) and now I need a new pair. What are the good options for over-ear headphones these days though

Doing prep for my Spelljammer game. The PCs have decided to hunt down some slavers for fun (again (hell yeah)) so it's once again time to plan an interesting location they can do this to

Oh, so now a wizard can't mark his body with a perfectly normal occult rune just because it looks like the personal sigil of the dread lich Skulldrich Thronefucker? Nobody's allowed to make mistakes any more??

So you think the ones who walk away from Omelas sound pretty great huh? What if I told you they exit via the gift shop? Bet you feel silly now

Putting a beholder, The Most Racist Creature, in the background of a Pride art piece is a good bit

Need to figure out more HWI: Second Gig backer tiers. I got "add a sample PC" and "get a character added to the NPC tables at the back of the book" like last time, but I want to add more just to make sure we get over the line. What other weird shit do people go for though? Definitely not doing merch

r/spelljammer has been banned, apparently after getting hit by a spam attack. It might also have had something to do with the fact that the mods were removed during that Reddit protest in 2023. Good website.

My pal @failnaut.bsky.social has made a Halloween game about skeletons infiltrating a costume party and it slaps. Check this out:

Spooky Time is approaching, so it feels like a good time to mention that I made a free, short horror-comedy TTRPG with a voice pack and everything:

[reminiscing with my millennial friends] Remember when Mario's catchphrase was "let's pickle"

Seems like a good time to announce that when my current project wraps up I'll be crowdfunding HARD WIRED ISLAND: SECOND GIG, a full-length expansion for my retrofuture cyberpunk RPG:

I have a second fiction project I've been planning to post to Royal Road instead of Kickstarter as a test. Been getting some good feedback, so now I just need a cover and a bigger backlog. Let's fucking go

Less than a day to go on this. We're already funded so this is basically a victory lap now, but here's your last chance to get a fun story for cheap:

I did layout on this and it rules. It's got a great hook, it's really funny, there's great classes and fun isekai powers. I've streamed a few games of this and I'm going to rustle up the players for more

On my last night in Melbourne I went to Domino's with some pals (not tagging them because it was Domino's) and I got a tiny pizza. I left a slice in the hotel minifridge but totally forgot to eat my cold pizza before checking out. Can I get some Fs in the chat

As part of my experimental pivot into writing I am planning to post something to Royal Road soon, but I'm flip-flopping on my username. "Ah, do you use your real name or Ettin," you might think. Nope. You see my Discord username is "half eaten sandwich" and—
