There are a lot of bad parts about this move, but the worst is that I can't take Chewie with me. 💔 Getting a safe roof over my head has been such a struggle that I haven't even processed this part yet, but I'm gonna miss the hell out of this boy for a few months.

I am so excited for this conversation with @ajitgeorgeSB and the @RollingStone team! Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel is so deeply important to me and it’s surreal to be able to talk about it AND inclusivity in the TTRPG space. 2pm PT/5pm EST twitch.tv/rollingstone

Happy birthday to the amazing

Happy Birthday to Station 151 podcast co-creator and our producer and sound designer Bear Weiter! Without all the hard work Bear puts into the episodes and the series overall, it would sound like a couple of guys recording stuff in their bedroom closets. #Podcasts #Station151

Omg a Principal Component Analysis of different OSR-like games! Would be eager to dig into the variables. I'm always curious about the ways systems might feel more or less disparate than they actually are.

🚨 BIG BLOG 🚨 so i’ve been messing around for a couple weeks with a datasheet of like 38 OSR or OSR-adjacent rulesets, to see how similar (or different) they are to each other this is the final result! 🤩

Spare a good thought for my sweet Chewie who had 9 teeth removed last week and isn't doing super well :-( He's over at the vet again, because I am a traitor. Poor bud! A bunch of good and bad things have happened here in the last few weeks, could use some middle ground!

Been pretty low on sleep but enjoying my cool new pants, returning to my cats, and reading some comics since coming home. Also discovered the old forum "Barbelith" emerged from the Invisibles fandom and ancient memories were unlocked.
