Hi! I'm Graham (he/him)! I'm a writer and table top game developer. I'm always cooking up something and rarely get enough sleep.
This is my official work bluesky because my manager tells me I need to network.

So, for the remainder of Campaign 4 of Critical Role, I'm going to post a one sentence reaction to every episode. I'm going to pin this thread, so keep reading if CR is your thing.
This is going to be updated randomly.

Do you know what I'd like for my birthday today though?
I'd really love for you to check out the Hope Springs Eternal Daggerheart TTRPG Kickstarter and give us a follow if you haven't already!
Signal boosting, also great.
It would make my day 🥰

Exactly one month to go! I prepared a small overview of the 5 Daggerheart campaign frames in Hope Springs Eternal. Help us beat yesterday's incredible total of 0 new followers! 🤪

Tabletop Tip: If you want a quick game of chance that can be easily worked into your game without much disruption, I suggest dice poker.
The rules are simple, it's fun to roll dice, and you can let your players make skill checks to "cheat".

Update from yesterday about playtesting my own game: my players really really liked it ^^
Those who'd played earlier versions enjoyed the changes to combat, and those that tried it for fhe first time were able to get the fundamentals quick and have fun right out of the gate :)

I'm constantly blown away by the artists that we're lucky enough to have help us with this project. This frame is near and dear to my heart, so getting to see it brought to life like this is simply amazing

My small victory of the night: I figured out the perfect combination of settings with my air frier to make my tofu slices omega crunchy but still soft on the inside.
Have a good night, everyone 👍

The Eternal Song has been carried on for centuries by the Conductor. With its notes kept thrumming by the people's deeds, it has influenced all of Fermata. Until now.
This contemplative and hopeful Daggerheart campaign frame will see adventurers brave dangers while exploring the role of culture.

So Microsoft is apparently ending support for MSPublisher. I'm furious, but more concerned with finding an alternative (and starting the process of moving over as much as I can before it fully dies). Any suggestions, friends?

It's been an emotionally fraught weekend, but I'm happy to close it out with some Call of Cthulhu with some of my best friends in the world 🙂
Next week is crunch time, however, and I'm excited to dive back in

Here's an ancient hill that I will still die to defend:
I don't think the walkers in The Walking Dead are infectious. They don't need to be. Spoilers, I guess, but everyone in TWD universe is already infected and reanimates after death.
HOWEVER, the walkers are VENOMOUS.

In exactly 7 weeks, I will launch my 1st crowdfund. I bet on myself and on my collaborators, leaving a permanent position. The campaign will go a long way in determining what I do in the next couple of years... no pressure! So pardon me for promoting and seeking all the help I can get! #daggerheart

I don't usually post about this, but I'm trying to be more open about mental health stuff.
I had a rough week. I'm better now, but it was a struggle uphill. It was invisible to the people around me, but it was real.
I'm feeling better. Friends, food, and rest help.
