I'm playing around with a new way to write recaps -- rather than focus on the action, i want to focus on the clues, the quests and the NPCs moving forward. My goal is to help the players remember the things that their characters would remember. Who cares if the battle lasted 30 seconds!

F-this. On top of Aslan's very slow recovery from not using his legs, one of the horses Kristin rescued is colicking.

The advert for Heroes of the Borderlands reminded me that saying yes to adventure introduced me to who I would become and who I am. Bonus link to the one and only session I ran an actual play. #DnD #ttrpg https://fullmoonstorytelling.com/2025/09/20/saying-yes-to-adventure/

One of my favorite D&D isms is from Jeremy Crawford "A diverse group is a strong group." He's talking about party composition in a game where cooperation is key. But he's also talking about life.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you're using Bridgy Fed to bridge yourself to Bluesky / ATProto, you should set up a custom domain so you look more native there. Here's how: https://fed.brid.gy/docs#bluesky-enhanced

Ever have that light night feeling that the nearly finished blog post is actually three separate posts? Rewrite Sunday it is!

I'm adapting homesteads in The Ferments campaign to using zonal play similar to @slyflourish this will help us expand and grow the buildings, farns, militias, environmental hazards easily https://slyflourish.com/fate_style_zones_in_5e.html

Saturday is for blogging

Aslan walked on his own today!

I'm wracking up unpublished drafts like a poet that gets famous 100 years after they pass

MLS Commissioner Don Garber is holding a special media availability today at 4:30 pm ET after the Board of Governors meeting. Expecting to receive confirmation that MLS will switch to a fall-to-spring schedule beginning in 2027.

When people ask me about my peacetime service all of 30 years ago it's hard to answer. I tend to focus on those whose service was harder. But I did write this short story because I eventually figured out what my time meant for me. https://fullmoonstorytelling.com/2023/11/11/storytime-as-moons-rise/

US Supreme Court rejects bid to overturn same-sex marriage right https://www.reuters.com/world/us-supreme-court-rejects-bid-overturn-same-sex-marriage-right-2025-11-10/ > The U.S. Supreme Court rejected on Monday a bid by a former Kentucky county official to overturn its landmark 2015 ruling […]

Might have accidentally developed a different primary enemy faction for each homestead in the D&D game

Today's #DnD session took place inside a sleet storm with lightning and heavy winds

I'm in my head about Chris Cornell again

My weekly soccer column isn't really about soccer today

Aslan stood this evening. And then he wobbled over because muscles really don't like being ignored for a month+ This was frightening and wonderful

Is my headache because I'm dehydrated or because I haven't had enough coffee?

At her presser today, I asked Laura Harvey for her thoughts on the discourse about trans athletes and the #NWSL, and the divisive rhetoric targeting some players for their appearance. Here is her answer (with transcript of her remarks in alt text):

One of the things I love about 2024 5e #DnD from WotC are the micro adventures. The massive tomes or classic module format never made sense to me because my table would never interact with 80% of the content. The microadventures include what you need to run things with the expectation that a […]

Aslan tried to stand on his back legs before I touched the harness today. I'm crying happy tears

We’re excited to release Mastodon 4.5 into the world! Arriving just a few months after the last release, this version brings the long-awaited Quote Posts feature, along with many other goodies. Here’s a quick look (you should read our blog post for more!) […]

Started a rewatch of The Magicians in order to focus on the "pod" style of adventuring they do. It's been an inspiration for how my current campaign rotates the characters

The one where we found a way to play even though there wasn't a full party nor could I leave the house. http://fullmoonstorytelling.com/2025/11/05/ferments-sessions-three-four-mud-mephit-slide-wake-fey-chwinga/

RE: https://mastodon.social/@anewsocial/115492635409809971 Today, we're taking our first step into the moderation tools we've been wanting to build for Bridgy Fed for a while now. The reason we're launching this small iteration first is that: (1) it's recently become more urgent for our […]

Did I actually sleep or did I dream I was sleeping

Tonight will be my first #sounders game since Aslan's injury They better make me leaving his side worthwhile

Tempted to submit my "Using RPGs to teach natural hazard preparedness" talk to OrcaCon

My current D&D campaign is a lesson in community, communication and preparedness. There's also fume drakes, elven magical overlords, mephit mudslides and fire tornadoes.

We ordered a half dozen rolls from Ezell's Thursday. We've eaten at least two a meal since then. Somehow we still have 6 rolls left.

Using the 2024 #DnD rules the Utilize Action creates clocks! Want to take out a siege weapon? The number of Utilize Actions gives you a timeline. Want to board an escaping boat? It takes YY actions to get it off the dock. It's magic. But not MAGIC […]

Killer quote: “I’m going back to the Fediverse. Back to Mastodon. To the nerds, the hobbyists, the idealists. The people who don’t talk about reach, but about relevance. To those who understand that decentralization isn’t nostalgic, it’s the future. That digital sovereignty isn’t a gimmick […]

Hey #fedi 👋 I'm trying to find those Tumblr posts which say things like "Humans are amazing, they like singing and playing and making art" And sound like a really enthusiastic alien anthropologist. Anyone know what I'm talking about? (Boosts welcome) #tumblr

The situation with Aslan is so exhausting that my only blogging is work related these days. I have a backlog of ideas for Full Moon Storytelling (session recap, Lore Collage, new FR books) but do not have a backlog of mental energy.
