I saw @felicia.day on the floor at SDCC yesterday & was so surprised that I forgot to give her a @tobeorrpg.bsky.social sticker. I handed them out all night & when I found someone I definitely wanted to have one, I rolled a 1. Forgive me, Felicia. I’ll kick myself forever for the missed opportunity.
