A paper plate paint palette, wiping paper towel, a paint water cup, several brushes and a painted miniature on a table. There are lots of shades of brown.
Sunday at OrcaCon I got switched from Games Admin to Paint and Take for my volunteer shift.
I'd been hoping to get to the Paint and Take all weekend so...
Anyways, I'll take some closeups of this guy later, I should've done a higher contrast color scheme.

Panda, Mike, Arwen, and Phantom starting a game of Tabriz.
#OrcaCon2025 Day 3 was my big game day!! 🧵
Finished Tabriz a little after midnight. Great job teaching @phantommeeple.bsky.social. I'm glad @ourfamplaysgames.bsky.social Mik and @cardboardtime.bsky.social enjoyed the game! It was their first time playing! But 🐼🦈 came to play! 😬😅

At the airport with Ta Te. We just happen to be flying back on the same flight. 😄 thanks for a great time #OrcaCon2025 @orcacon.bsky.social is hope i get invited back next year. If you didn't come say hi, you must comment so i can say hi virtually!
Almost time for teardown/closing at #OrcaCon2025, although we’ve already started with the closed spaces. Exhausted, but trying to help. Then we PAAAAARTAY! Another successful con in the books!
Playing a game of Delta Green, run by @little-lizzie.bsky.social. I love this convention—if, for no other reason than my friends (chosen family in this case!) are here with me! #OrcaCon2025

Four hours left to catch Green Ronin in the Merch Hall at OrcaCon 2025 . #ttrpg #orcacon2025
I’ve had a margarita and am sitting at a table surrounded by friends, two of whom I pretty much only see once a year for this con. I am so goddamned happy. #OrcaCon2025

#boardgames #orcacon2025
Working sound/video recording for a panel about accessibility in gaming. I love the con! #OrcaCon2025
Eating breakfast at the overpriced hotel buffet before heading into #OrcaCon2025 day two. First up, my volunteer shift, then a Star Trek:Lower Decks game run by @little-lizzie.bsky.social!
My last game session of the day ended exactly at midnight. It’s been a long time since I’ve done that! But day one of #OrcaCon2025 is done! And so am I.
Goodnight, my lovelies! Be well! 💚
Eating dinner and waiting to play Coyote and Crow for the first time! Very excited! #OrcaCon2025
Wrapping up my 6 hour games admin shift at #OrcaCon!
Got to chat about educational aspects of games, recommend games to folks, and see a bunch of friends.
Back at it again tomorrow!

The terrain used in the game, starting with a forest, leading into a cave with a series of tunnels. It ends in a giant room filled with water and side tunnels, with a giant demon statue at the end of it.
Played in an AD&D game run by the founder of Dwarven Forge, the terrain company. I survived with one hit point left! Next up is my volunteer shift, helping to run the panel room, then a game of Coyote and Crow, which I’ve wanted to try forever, run by the creator. #OrcaCon2025
It's OrcaCon 2025 time!
We'll be here in the Sea-Tac area playing games and chilling out with friends!
If you see us, don't be shy-- say hi! #boardgames @orcacon.bsky.social #OrcaCon2025

I will mostly be volunteering. Also talking about our ttrpg digital civic engagement project.
(If anyone I know IRL is driving in from North Seattle any of the days, please let me know, happy to pay for gas and it would cut hours off my travel time.)
