My DM released his next book today! If you can, please consider supporting by either buying, sharing, or doing a secret third option 🐦⬛
Goat rental! Or you could go rent a weed whacker or something from Home Depot or Lowe’s, but renting goats is always a better story.
I’m so glad the weather is getting nice again and I can go back to healthier coping mechanisms 😅
#RiseofElements is LIVE on #Kickstarter! 🔮
What an incredible journey it's been to this point, and we're so excited to introduce you all to our first game as a studio!

Update: My garage smells like a mix of wet grass and chocolate but at least the beans look kind of uniform?
This is not to call anybody specific out but often we reinvent the wheel for project management because directors and leads have ways they like to work, simply do not budge, and then production has to slap something together around that. I like to work with people on systems that help them (cont)
I can let you know when the first roast is ready, and then we can talk about what should change with the next one so that it’s actually good 😅
Ooo what gin? 👀
Okay but like, what if I got into yet another hobby?
That makes sense, and I had a feeling that would be the answer. The two things I’m currently missing in my day to day would be working on roadmaps and budgeting, which seems to be a pretty common requirement when looking at mid-senior level job postings
Folks that work in production, how do you get better at it? I read, listen to podcasts, watch GDC talks, and get certifications in projecty things, but I feel like I’m missing a massive amount of hands on experience and am completely stuck on how to improve.
👀👀👀
I just got in and will be here till Saturday!
We’ve got a few positions open at Pokémon and can answer some questions about them, or we can just talk production and workflows? www.linkedin.com/posts/pokemo...
I always hesitate to post anything on social media these days. There’s just this voice in the back of my head that goes “Why would you post that? What are you looking to get?” I never know the answer, so I just don’t.
That said, I’ll be at GDC this week and would be up for meeting folks!
It’s 1 am and I can’t sleep because I can’t stop thinking about Story Points 🫠
Probably going to take a small break and then play though again making the EXACT same decisions as the first time
I beat BG3 and I have feeeeelings 🫠
God I love The Beths ❤️
So this is a weird thing to verbalize and I’m still trying to think about what it means, but I’ve had a few interactions over the last week that made me realize that I might want to drop “he” from my pronouns completely and just stick to “they/them”?
Just tell yourself that the blood flow is important for recovery 🥲
I get such a weird feeling whenever I go and see shows. Like, I have a degree in getting these productions up and running, and here I am asking devs to update their Jiras.
Working out using dedication is not as fun as working out with motivation.
I mean… I guess that applies to other situations too, but at least at work I don’t have 100lbs above my head 😅
Wait wait, Stin the Gray.
Barkingston the Third.
The prePAX tradition!
I’m already very tired 🫠
