Another school assignment, dated September 6, 1979—a few months after I started playing #dnd.

In this school project from 1980, you can clearly see the influence of Todd Lockwood’s krolli (Dragon #36).

I grew up to be a writer.

Weird question for the ⚓️Narthex: Does anyone have handy the Church Publishing lectionary insert for this Sunday? Does it have both Gospel readings in it? (My church is an hour's drive away...)

My @aetherobjects.bsky.social Cathedral Dice arrived today! I mean, how could I not?

Going through old files last night, I found these “PC Combat Cards” I used when I ran the first sessions of what would become Acquisitions, Inc. in 2008. @pennyarcade.bsky.social #dnd

From “Falls Run” in Dungeon 66 (January 1998) to the 2024 DMG, Chris and I have worked together A LOT. Thanks for everything, my friend.
Today I retire from Wizards of the Coast after 28 years. With D&D’s 50th anniversary wrapping up and the revised rulebooks doing gangbusters, this is the perfect fairytale ending for me. I can’t wait to enjoy D&D purely as a fan again, knowing the game is in good hands. See you in the Feywild!

Given my age, I do not have favorite console games from my childhood (Munch-Man on the TI-99/4A? Please.) but Kirby Air Ride was my absolute favorite game to play with my daughter on the Wii, despite having to use janky old GameCube controllers. This news has us both teary.

Seriously this Bible exchange goes on even longer than I'm able to clip here.

I was just reflecting this week that, with dozens of D&D books on my bibliography, with every one I still harbor the secret fear, “What if this one sucks?” (Same thing for sermons. ⚓️)
Every game developer, even experienced ones, struggles with self-doubt. Imposter syndrome is normal. Keep pushing through, because every developer has felt this way. #gamedev #indiedev

KJ is a beloved part of my little Morning Prayer community and is also near the front lines of people who are being trampled by Trump’s assaults. Please consider helping him out.

Shivam kicking my butt was absolutely a highlight of my whirlwind trip to MagicCon. Great to see you, friend!
You know what was super lovely at Chicago? On Saturday I was randomly browsing the booths and ran headfirst into my dear friend @aquela.com (James Wyatt), recently called to become a Vicar of Faith in his church, and also a famed and beloved d&d/mtg designer

Interestingly, I too will be at MahicCon Chicago, at least on Friday and part of Saturday (flying home in time to preach on Sunday!).

Spotted in the sacristy of my new church. Someone's been scouting me out!

A bright spot in the hellscape, I guess, but my first #dnd game at clergy conference (DioOly) was a smashing success. Vile dragons were slain! ⚓️

Starting next week, I have a part-time vicar job in addition to my writing D&D job. Super excited to start this new phase of my ministry! (And run D&D at clergy conference.) ⚓️

A lot of folks have become Bp Budde fans and want to know how to support her. Tell them: Show up at your local Episcopal church this Sunday, make an offering, get to know your neighbors, and ask how you can help with their local community efforts. No belief required. ⚓️
