congrats!!

It's impossible to overstate how much it means to me to have one of my games (Spoken Legends!) in this bundle for #LesbianVisibilityWeek!

Grab yourself a bunch of Sapphic art, and then strike out on a quest to save the world and find yourself with your friends when you #SpeakLegends together 💙

I'm so so sorry for your loss

The vibes succeeded 😊

Details coming soooon

The banner is littered with a number of small images of an orange cat (Mango). The text reads: "Teefathon 2. Raising funds for Mango's vet bill (likely) tooth resorption! (Why must his teeth suck so much?)." The website is at: twitch.tv/invert180

Live now all day with Teefathon 2 (and also my birthday)! Fundraising for Mango's upcoming vet bills for tooth resorption and potential tooth removal! I think he really wants to become a muppet. Playing animal-based games all day plus some ghost hunting with friends!

Thoroughly enjoyed Red Cliff when Dylan showed it to me, so one-upping this!

Send good cat shaped vibes to the Shaw-Grinder household today

some combo of:
- go for a walk
- message a friend
- look at cute animal videos
- play a non-work related game (video game or TTRPG)

Who does great graphic design and layout for HORROR? You can shout out yourself or someone you know.

Getting absolutely decked by the accuracy (I technically started in the 2010s but like...yeah)

TTRPG bat signal:

I’m looking for books, zines, blog posts, articles, etc that give excellent advice on designing QUESTS for ttrpgs! Willing to accept youtube videos if they’re reeeeally spectacular.

Got any tips for me?

Looks like you and Kirby had great adventures!!

Ithaea's Testimonial: "The games I've played with Don have been among the best in my life. His love for TTRPGs shines through every session. Artful descriptions, vivid stories, and complex characters bring his worlds to life. He brings out the best in others at the table and encourages them to explore their creativity and develop their play."

James' Testimonial: "One of the best things that Don brings to the table as a Gamemaster is a sense of gravity and grandeur to your character's actions ... Don makes sure that every choice you make matters—and in a way that brings both joy and terror."

Daniel's Testimonial: "Don is a fantastically supportive and collaborative Gamemaster, with inspiring passion for storytelling. As a new player, I couldn't have dreamed of a better introduction to TTRPGs than playing at his tables. His games have left me alternatively challenged, delighted, and terrified in the best possible ways—but always seen and heard as a player."

Our Ravenloft game is starting a new arc and has an open seat! By day, your noble house holds court, travels for diplomacy, and undertakes dangerous adventures. At night, specters and devils roam the moon-cursed lands of Sithicus.

could you let me know?

(I have some examples but trying to see if I missed anything)

The Illuminate Expansion has some of my favorite weirdos like the Fool and the Hungry House. If the base game is the expected party roles and villains, this one is for trope twists or being a weird little guy.

April and May have historically been very stressful times that kick my ass physically and emotionally, so y'all better be nice to me over the next couple months or else*

(*or else I'll cry)

Oh yay. Chronically ill people w/ complex (monitored) medication needs are about to get panicked phone calls from everyone they know (who have suddenly become medication experts) telling them to stop their meds.

NOTE: DO NOT DO THIS. (Both the calls or the VERY DANGEROUS sudden discontinuation.)

A great number of orange cat (named Mango) pictures scattered throughout the image. Text on it reads: "Teefathon 2. Raising funds for Mango's teeth surgery! (Again.) My poor boy! Saturday, April 18. twitch.tv/invert180"

Fundraising for Mango's x-ray/dental cleaning on my birthday this Saturday, April 18th! During Mango's annual wellness exam, the vet noted significant redness along the gumline of one of his teeth and said it may be tooth resorption. An x-ray will determine whether or not that's the case.

Laudatory feedback never goes amiss. And it tends to spur on more of the stuff you like.

Now maybe a friend, a peer, or a recognized critic can assume their critique is welcome. Maybe.

Not everyone's gonna like your stuff. That's cool. I assume most people don't. Luckily, I don't make it for them.
