Each year for the last 3 years cancer has taken a friendbin my gaming community. Some of the best people I have ever known and it took them. Cancer seems to be circling our D&D community like Vecna stalking the Stranger Things kids. And I'm done with it. #fuckcancer

When one of your friends does a thing, you show up, right? So @skippinginfinity.bsky.social (artist behind the Border Kingdoms covers and Badger Den art) has a new kickstarter beginning soon. So check it out... www.kickstarter.com/projects/ski...

17 kids for D&D Boot Camp. 5 weeks of a whole lot of energy. (Ages 8-13)...

Gave up seeing the Stranger Things finale in the theater to spend New Year's Eve in Door County watching it on Netflix. #NotTodayVecna

Going to do that in Door County, but that will eventually be our main residence...

Decaf mocha, dog by my side and Stranger Things. No better way to spend Christmas night.

Did we bake Dubai chocolate cupcakes for Christmas dinner? You're GD right we did! (pre-ganache photo included)

I take inspiration for games from the movies I watch, the books I read, and thr music I listen to. This is on the top of the Playlist for my current module. youtu.be/Gz2GVlQkn4Q?...

This is a night of weird flexes. I managed to both convince my wife to eat collard greens while convincing my dog they are "chocolate." I make them with shallots and garlic, so for her... the same as chocolate.

Over $37,000 raised for kids! 💙 The 5th annual Extra Life Game Day hosted by Lackawanna College Esports team brought gamers and community members together for a full day of play, all to support kids receiving care at Geisinger Janet Weis Children’s Hospital.

Mrs Zombie: What are you doing today? ZJ: Making batch meals with that ground beef. Mrs. Zombie: Whatcha making? ZJ: Minature Italian Meatloaf Mrs. Zombie: ... You're making two pans of meatballs, aren't you? ZJ: I said what I said.

Who has two thumbs and thought doing a double batch of collard greens was a good idea?

My Friday is being spent making a weekends worth of chicken, collard greens and risotto for my parents while singing songs from "Tick, Tick... Boom" under my breath because my wife is on a Zoom meeting. How 'bout you? #ThisIsTheLife

Breaking through my goals for @extralife4kids.bsky.social and my EL Slingbag arrived. Solid weekend!

Day 2 of the charity marathon and only 2 players didn't return for the second half. Every donation at this point stretches past the goal I'd set for the year for our @extralife4kids.bsky.social donations.

People that played in the launch of the @badgerden.bsky.social today for our D&D Marathon for @extralife4kids.bsky.social left with a Badger Den folder and a cert allowing one of three Wisconsin based species. Such as our Badgerkin.

I have no idea which makes me happier... People having fun playing in the Badger Den or how well the modules my first writing team are playing... #GameDay

Our certs, fruit from one of the authors to feed the dungeon masters, and our stamp featuring the art of @skippinginfinity.bsky.social

31 Players, 5 DMs, and 1 tired Organizer. Official launch of our community campaign and our fall charity marathon supporting @extralife4kids.bsky.social and @childrenswi.bsky.social ... And yes... we are doing certs for our game! #GameDay

Last product order for my charity marathon and launch of the Tales from the Badger Den organized play program arrives today according to tracking. I may be down a DM, but all the things are arriving.

So as a life-long D&D geek as well as a sci-fi/fantasy geek, I want to be excited about the last season of Stranger Things, but seriously, the choice of music for the trailer was horrible. Did the Duffers never watch Highlander? Did the meaning of the song escape them? #whowantstoliveforever

Which Yankee boy though it would be a good idea to make vegetarian collard greens with the chicken tonight?

"You can play tonight, pick a table." Whhheeeeeee... "We need so.eone to run this module at 8am." ... "I can prep it."

8am to midnight at the con. Back to the room and can't sleep...

My wife spent the weekend up north with my mother-in-law and grandson. She did all the cooking. As I'm making dinner tonight she thanked me for doing all the cooking because she said it suuuucks. :)

Fun fact. Not only did the Kundalini Equation come out the same year that The Last Dragon was released, but - as it was very pre-internet - I was unaware that Stephen Barnes was a person of color until much later when I was preparing for a convention he was attending.

I can do half a month? Different authors... Let's start with The Kundalini Equation by Stephen Barnes. The Devil's Wake by Barnes and Tananarive Due (and the 1st book I wrote a blurb for) and Rage of Dragons by Evan Winter. I know I can come up with more once I sit down and think about it.

We will be doing it here in Madison on November 8th and 9th. Kicking off our public playtest of Tales From The Badger Den.

Cannot wait. Big things to come post Gamehole Con. Of course, a guy named Zombie Joe will time a big announcement around Halloween! As Ministry so eloquently said, "And I dress this way just to keep them at bay, cuz Halloween is every day."

The Good: My wife checked on me this afternoon. The Bad: I was so angry last night it caused my wife to check in on me this afternoon. The Ugly: I got a total of 60-90 minutes of sleep in the last 36 hours.

The benefit of chronic, rage-induced insomnia in October? Halloween III: Season of the Witch is on. Zombie Joe Fact #32: Tom Atkins is one of my all time favorite movie actors.

Zombie Joe Fun Fact #23: When I get really angry late at night, I will often not be able to sleep that night. (Brought to you near midnight on the couch with the dog...)

Did my wife go to Cave Point without me? Yes, yes she did... Did she also leave Gilmore Girls marathon on with the remote across the room? Also yes.

Make ripeness done to medium and watch my wife put catsup on her plate. *sigh* And yes, I am having a Fanta Orange with mine like a goddamned boss!

My wife getting ready for her first game of D&D... "Is two sets of dice enough?" Me... "To start, yeah."

Can confirm. We had a lovely discussion about the convention we were at (Romantic Times - Columbus) vs. something like GenCon over lunch when a couple of friends brought him with for lunch after a panel. One of the many excellent discussions that were had that weekend.

Sunday is the day of rest and miracles. @twentysidedtavern.bsky.social did something I couldn't do in 37 years. My wife asked to pick up her own players handbook and dice set so she can start playing D&D. It's a 20 sided miracle!

Will have more to say later, but went to opening night of @twentysidedtavern.bsky.social and my wife left with her first piece of D&D clothing and may actually try D&D since her first attempt 35 years ago.

Who has two thumbs and is set for a different night of D&D? This guy...

HI! 💕 THIS IS FOR THE BIPOC PLAYERS!! I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU TOO! TAG A GM THAT YOU LOVE!! Someone that made you feel safe, heard, respected and you’d recommend them to others They don’t have to be BIPOC but if you tag your white GM You HAVE to tag a GM of color that you also love!

Told everyone at our D&D event with @sweeetanj.bsky.social that I would not be answering texts because I was sleeping in, and I did. 6:30!

So... @madisoncomicexpo.bsky.social ... if you're listening... please consider bringing back Anjali Bhimani. Madison loves their D&D players.

Not many spectators so it's a more intimate night of D&D in Madison.

My D&D Experience Tracks are sold out, but if openings pop up, I will post them here.
