puppies dont stay puppies for long enough

I'm starting to be me again which is a good thing even if grief wants me to feel guilty about it. I have energy for more than just work and basic needs. I have energy for my own art. I have energy for @cloudcurio.bsky.social. This is great. This is healthy.

both of my therapists believe i have hyperphantasia and hyperthymesia; both of these have absolutely not been helpful with past trauma annnnnd lol yep grief.

Porcini is everything to me. In this chaos, he is keeping me relatively stable. A little guy I can focus (most) all of my energy and attention to. He's the best decision I made this year, hands down.

@cloudcurio.bsky.social knocks it outta the park again. These are top quality products. 👏🏽👏🏽

Book of Wyrms looks soooo good! If you missed the Kickstarter, you can get the pdf on itch.io now! The physical copy will be listed on our Etsy soon! thecloudcurio.itch.io/book-of-wyrms

this pup is constantly doing some wild amounts of emotional lifting for me

One of my big self soothing moves is taking a bath and I know I’m having a rough time when it’s a 2+ bath kind of day. (I’m just exhausted.)

New hairs! Summertime mullet!

He makes me so so happy.

Amber: "What should our goal be for 10k?" Me: "10k??? I don't know...that's such a big number. Maybe we should do something ridiculous..." I came up with that idea as almost a joke and now it's...in sight? Anyway you better watch out @mapcrow.bsky.social!!

Meet Porcini! 😍 He is everything to me right now.

I'm looking for potential #ttrpg panelists discussing Play to Lose games and doomed heroes 💔 Let me know if there's someone with relevant experience you'd love to hear discuss this! Priority to POC and marginalized genders 💚

Love to see my friends doing so well with the new crowd funder!! BUT Then I read the last stretch goal!! (Kidding they asked me of course)

4 more sleeps til puppy 🥹

We've unlocked another stretch goal for Book of Wyrms! AND! We've revealed 2 more stretch goals. There will be a free Wyrm adventure from Amber but even more exciting at 10K @wyrmzone.bsky.social & @sobg0blin.bsky.social will go to Ireland to throw a pie in @mapcrow.bsky.social's face!

i dream of a world where when i toggle off the "yes, send me emails" during an online purchase, they would indeed NEVER SEND ME AN EMAIL

omgggg!!!! thank you so much for sharing 😭 so goood!

While at Origins this year I went by the booth where the artist for a ttrpg called Adorablins was. I wanted to show them the spell list I had given a group of goblin wizards to use for the game. Here is the insanity the goblins had at this disposal. @sobg0blin.bsky.social your artwork is amazing.

This was a wonderful time. And also the first time I have talked publicly (at a high level) about Kenny's death. I think I did a great job speaking on it & I'm very proud of myself. I'm also incredibly proud of @wyrmzone.bsky.social & Matthew & @sal.gay for who they are & what we're making together.

Cloud Curio was interviewed on The Splatbook! @wyrmzone.bsky.social @sobg0blin.bsky.social & Matthew Kruze discuss Book of Wyrms, growing up in RPGs, & getting support as a GM when designing new adventures! And as the CC way, we get sappy about each other's work! thesplatbook.com/episodes/int...

Who’s laying out RPGs these days?

The final days of the Player's Guide 2 Kickstarter are here! Draw your sword and wands and back today ⚔️🪄 ➡️: bit.ly/Players-Guide-2 #tov | #dnd | #5e | #ttrpg

Book of Wyrms hit another stretch goal! www.kickstarter.com/projects/clo...

I’m at the age where I have a few memorial shelves in my home. So that’s fun.

What the wyrm?! Book of Wyrms is a "Project We Love" on Kickstarter! Ahhhh! www.kickstarter.com/projects/clo...

New blogpost live in which I review Monstrous, an incredible new book by @mapcrow.bsky.social from @cloudcurio.bsky.social. Check out the review, but more importantly, buy the book! www.dungeonsandhammers.com/post/this-bo... #osr #indierpg #rpg #dnd #fantasyart

Fun side note: Throughout the development of MONSTROUS, we would coin MONSTROUS phrases that apply to real world behaviors. For instance, my insatiable urge to document is Bug Behavior b/c "Bugs work compulsively. Nothing matters more to them than the completion of what they call the 'Great Work'" 🤪

This a wonderful review of MONSTROUS! It hits on exactly what Kyle, Kenny, and Sal's goals were for this book. To inspire GMs with fresher takes on classic monster archetypes! Bugs are actually one of my (Amber) favorites of the book and it's nice to see them get a call out in this review. 😊

This is my new son, Porcini 🥰 Teeny Weenie Porcini. Porchi. Cheeni. Mi bambini.

I'm getting a puppy July 21st!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What in the WYRM??? 2 stretch goals have been unlocked! Thank you so so much! www.kickstarter.com/projects/clo...

For a long time, I didn’t want to do anything new; especially anything new with Cloud Curio. My grief-riddled brain thought that keeping everything the same, vacuumed-sealed, no change, it would somehow keep me close to Kenny.

I just backed Book of Wyrms on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/clo...

Despite it all, WE’RE HERE IN ONE PIECE. COME GET YA WYRMS

it's been an absolute delight seeing this project in its development and yall should SUPPORT BOOK OF WYRMS

I'm a new fan as of... 3 minutes ago... but I backed SO FAST. I cannot wait. I've barely read the page. On art, short description, and vibes alone. TAKE MY MONEY

Congrats! Check out the awesome kickstarter made by the people I'm currently trapped in a car with!

FUNDED IN LESS THAN THREE HOURS I’m still wrapping my head around it…AAHAHHHHHH

Had QUITE A DAY YESTERDAY. My first kickstarter funded in under three hours. Then the monkey’s paw curled. Long story short, a 3-hr drive to Columbus took us 9 (NINE) hours thanks to a flat tire, and intense weather. SO IF WE LOOK TIRED TODAY AT ORIGINS THAT’S WHY 😅

What should have been a 3.5 hour drive, turned into a 9 hour drive. BUT we did make it! And somehow managed to set up a booth this morning!
