practice was in fact cancelled so I am simply a fool who gets up at 4 in the morning for No Reason

can't believe I was getting emo about nerd shit on the way to 6am hockey practice. who am I??

I'm about to spend the weekend playing seven part pact with @jdragsky.bsky.social and SJ and I feel unbelievably lucky to not only get to play games with my friends, but to have friends whose work I admire so much. Being a fan of my friends is such a gift from the universe.

next time I go I'm gonna try using a lefty stick I think

hello bsky the only update I have to share is that I went to a drop in ice hockey practice for the first time and it was AWESOME

SJ brought up the alliteration idea but the new names were a collaborative effort between us!
I'm so glad I got to go a lil crazy with the sheet too it was very very fun

Thanks so much for the very fun chat!

I just accidentally emailed a trrpg designer friend from my roller derby email address. I don't know whether to be thrilled or mortified that they immediately and intuitively knew that Maxx Damage was me.

carrying around a commander deck at gen con with the same energy as a teenager keeping condoms in his wallet – am I gonna get to use this? probably not! but if the opportunity arises and I find myself unprepared, I will never forgive myself (I just started playing magic again)

anybody doing Fancy Ennies this year? are we still trying to make that happen?

I didn't think I was squeamish about much medical stuff but NOPE OH GOD

I have a Lamy that I like okay, but it's . . . scratchier somehow? Definitely not my go-to for writing a lot of longhand text at once but it's ok for making lists!

I told myself I'd get a nicer fountain pen if/when my starter finally gave out, but honestly I'm going right back for another fine nib pilot metropolitan because what a WORKHORSE.

my favorite memory of that pen: accidentally making eye contact with my neuro prof while refilling the converter from an ink bottle in the middle of a lecture hall, causing him to ask what exactly I was doing

RIP to my trusty starter fountain pen – my beloved standard fine nib black pilot metropolitan, which served me faithfully for seven years.

ok who was gonna tell me that learning to ride a unicycle is really hard

after my summer buzz cut, my beard is longer than my head hair #hotgirlsummer

a work is feminist if two women are cuddling and making out and optionally nibbling each others flesh and tasting each other etc.

I'm going back to roller derby this month to see if that fixes my brain.

there is so much lotfp on drivethru and yet . . .

Supremes say parents can opt out of letting their kids listen to LGBTQ stories. Can parents similarly opt out of kids listening to stories that DON'T have LGBTQ themes or incidents? 🤣

weird symbols make me 300% more likely to want to try a game and that's just science

today's lunch was the first tomato ever from our GARDEN, salted and peppered, on mayo toast . . . and I was not prepared for the euphoria that this produced

👀 but what if you do??

I'm disappointed in Roll20 and angered by this situation, but I've never been prouder to have my first book fly under the 9th Level Games flag alongside important work like Rebel Scum. Keep fighting, @9thlevelgames.bsky.social; I'm behind you all the way.

The Seven Part Pact: the First Actual GM-Full Game - Old Men Running The World I was asked if I wanted to be a wizard for a week. I said yes.

Last month, I spent a week playtesting @jdragsky.bsky.social's the Seven Part Pact in a fancy house in Bath. I write about the most maximalist RPG I've ever played.

last night I dreamt that Dahlia's had gotten a review from a ttrpg news outlet I really like but the review title was "Why does this exist?"

Dahlia's Diversions for Peculiar Parties, Bite-Sized Roleplaying Games for Any Occasion. This is a banner image with a floral motif, featuring eight cartoonish icons representing different games.

What if Lemony Snicket was a punctilious old woman whose parlor game collection was full of indie RPG zines?
