Last month I did my first test knit, The Cluaran Sock pattern by Grey Owl Knits. They fit really nicely and I think this is my new favorite heel type. 🧶🧦💜🌿 #testknit #knitsocks #knitsky

Rearranging our living space has now provided the sufficient level of Feng Shui needed for me to continue transcribing the RPG from a scattered Obsidian vault into a printable Affinity doc. Feels good!

Whoever decided "democracy dies in darkness" should be the tagline for a news organization that would eventually be gutted in order to pave the way for oligarchy was prescient.

About to start on a new notebook, this time with a fun new cover.

A weathered print of my ”By the docks” isometric map 📜 #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #handdrawn #map #cartography

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

I love me my @techconnectify.bsky.social videos, and this one's no exception! Good stuff from start to fin.

DID YOU KNOW A24 made a TTRPG for The Green Knight? shop.a24films.com/products/the... I know nothing about it, except that it exists... found it while looking about their shop one day.

I'd like to share with y'all my favorite video to watch every February: youtu.be/38PB3sBZxf4?...

It's a dangerous world out there folks, my wife just broke her foot trying to get out of an office chair while her leg was asleep.

Oooh, Cole Wehrle & Kyle Ferrin have produced some of my favorite games of all time! I'm excited to see where they go from here.

Your path lies ahead, traveler. [Taken near Buntzen Lake, BC Canada]

Don't forget to drink water.

Any good examples of RPG's with cool potion brewing mechanics?

Happy Second Day of Christmas to all the nerds who remind their families each year that Christmas Day is actually the first of the Twelve Days of Christmas!

Happy 40th birthday to Skytrain, as loved as it is still underrated in how much weight it carries to make our region not just another suburban sprawl wasteland.

I have just learned that Draw Steel does NOT call for a d% die to make d100 rolls but rather two d10's. Thank you @mattcolville.bsky.social

I'm on my third egg nog cortado of the day.

Mmm, nog latte acquired

I think it's time we do away with the d% as part of the standard RPG dice set. It's a specialty die that's rarely used, often misunderstood, and its function can just as easily be fulfilled by rolling 1d10 twice.

My awesome wife just finished knitting me a beautiful sweater and I've been wearing it all day. This is great. Very cozy.

Finished & Photographed! (Still needs blocking though... Once my other Christmas gift hats are knit up I'll block them all together) 📜: Alpine Bloom by Caitlin Hunter 🧶: Lana's Light, @berrocoyarn.bsky.social 📸: @noah-the-bard.bsky.social #knitsky

Breakfast.

My new favorite hat :) Knit the Classic Ribbed Hat by @purlsoho.bsky.social with some dk weight wool yarn that my mother-in-law picked up for me in Japan. 💜 📸 @noah-the-bard.bsky.social #knitsky

The main dice set I've been using for years now is one I put together by buying 40 individual dice colour-coded by size. If I win the charity auction, you all shall bear witness to the *finest* set of dice this world has yet seen.

The Nightfall Lodge – an inn deep in the woods, far from civilization. It’s a strange place, this twilight tavern. A candlelight cantina that seems to exist in a perpetual state of evenfall. #dnd #ttrpg #handdrawn

It seems all the locals are posting their photos of the sky this morning. I, too, couldn't help but grab my camera as soon as I looked out the window, so here's my contribution!

Idk much about bike tires, but I got some new ones at the start of the year and haven't had a single flat since, so I think I can recommend them at this point. Schwalbe Green Marathons. [For context, I bike most days for my commute and used to get a lot of flat tires]

I finally did it! Here's my video of how I made my wedding dress and how you can too. Only took me 3 years lol #sewing #madeitmyself #wedding youtu.be/nQpUdo5gFEE?...

Found a new friend today.

SHAW! (Indigenous art is the absolute coolest)

Gosh, I love supporting my local games store.

While running a D&D session last year, I didn't have any music prepared, so decided to improvise on my mandolin instead. To my surprise, the players all enjoyed it! Since then, the mandolin has been a staple of my GMing, usually supported by some ambient noise in the background.

Inspiration for writing this RPG comes & goes in looong waves. (thanks ADHD) Not trying to force that creativity is probably why it's taken 2½ years with little to show. Nevertheless, I'm proud of the results; this a much greater creative work than I thought I was capable of making when I began.

My favourite scent is that which comes from the freshly-plucked stem of a home-grown tomato. 🍅

Pacific Northwest! Because the West Coast is the best coast! #TTRPG go.bsky.app/P7Nq6Xo

Uh oh, cleaning my home office floor and got distracted with crayons and colored pencils 🧙‍♂️

Update: we now have a QUEST BOARD!

I have an idea that could massively improve the quality of my Game Mastering, but first I need access to some hand puppets...

#Urbanism, densification, public transit, and walkable cities are not advocated for because they are inherently desirable things, but rather because they do the best job of connecting us with the things we actually desire: Health, leisure, & time with friends/family. That's the real freedom.

Expanding the call! 📣 Do any #TTRPG blog-writers have an insightful post they want to hear narrated? Because I wanna try my hand (voice) at narrating a blog post.
