@hatchlingdm.itch.io just announced he wanted to watch a film tomorrow, couldn’t remember what it was called and after many attempts finally settled on ‘Austrian hamper times’. I think I genuinely died laughing. Merry Christmas all.

Tinsel’s been in a love triangle with two dolls Skylar and Misty all December. Our 7yo Willow had many thoughts as to who he should be with but on the last night before he buggers off to the North Pole he’s married Skylar. I think Skylar and Misty are endgame here tbh. #merrychristmas

I'm once again hunting artists 🔍 BAME and BIMPOC only please this time, for paid work!

@hatchlingdm.itch.io and I are looking for those interested in drawing dragons, high-fantasy mechs, and nature vs. technology for our Daggerheart compatible sourcebook based on 'Dragon Dowser', the solo game!

Okay I have thoughts on who might not make it in the 2nd part of Stranger Things:

1. Murray
2. Nancy (poss Mike)
3. Max
4. Jonathan
5. Hopper
6. Eleven

I’m not even entertaining the possibility of Steve or Robin so don’t… 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

Thoughts? #strangerthings

Who amongst our peers are also working in the ttrpg industry with family members?

I wasn’t certain it would work with @kessabrae.bsky.social, but over time we’ve managed to separate roles to suit our strengths.

Would love our daughter to also embrace the hobby, but time will tell!

Somehow I’ve been conned into watching The Ring by @hatchlingdm.itch.io - the cushion is gonna get a lot of use tonight, I’m a total coward when it comes to horror films though I love them in theory.

Treated myself to something at the gift shop at Dover Castle today. It’s for writing down website orders but also because I feel like I should be reminded of my worth 😂 #queen

Hi @matthewmercer.bsky.social would you consider sharing our Kickstarter for UNDERISLES? It’s the final entry in a trilogy of ttrpgs that teach American Sign Language. You really helped boost our previous game and introduced the Critter community to ASL learning!
