Still can't believe last night was real. #QuangleQuest was absolutely amazing. Being in the same space as the Dimension 20 crew & thousands of fans was an absolute dream.

Y'all are gonna love it when they upload this episode. 😂

Last night, we had our final in person D&D session before the move.

Feelings were had. 💔

Also it ended with my character's dad finding her after she ran away years ago, so HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO LIVE WITH THIS CLIFFHANGER FOR MONTHS 😩

It's been 7 years since we arrived in the PNW, and in less than 3 weeks, we leave it. 😭 I'm not ready to say bye to the mountains, the Pacific, the people. I DO look forward to our new rental (a HOUSE with a YARD--for less than we pay here lol), but this move is gonna be a hard one. 💔

Moving announcement! Hubby here is now a board game producer for Fantasy Flight Games. 🎉

Unfortunately, it means we have to leave Seattle 😭 and move to Minneapolis by August. Definitely some mixed feelings in this household. 😅

Help me know what's cool there? (Homegirl does not enjoy winter 🙃)

We fully funded a few days ago with a sudden surge of backers. Elated, I was wondering where the sudden bit came from. @enworldrpg.bsky.social talked about my project on their recent news bit.

I want to say thanks to Morrus, Jessica and PJ for the shout-out.

When I was 5 or 6, Mom told me you were more likely to get hit by lightning than win the lottery. I interpreted this as if you play the lottery, you'll get hit by lightning.

I was horrified when I found out my friend's parents played and thought they would die. 😂

Can you solve the puzzle to be able to face Lazlo?

Can your players?

No worries, the adventure includes ways to play if your players aren't the puzzle cube solving sort.

We want to make sure you can play even if the prop just winds up a tchotchke.

Huge news on Patreon! Because of the Apple v. Epic ruling, they are not only dropping the 30% Apple Store charge on the iOS app, they are also halting the move to subscription billing for all creators - which would have affected creators like me, who use a "per video" structure than monthly.
From Patreon's Discord: "Yesterday, a U.S. court ruled in the Epic v. Apple case that Apple is no longer allowed to collect fees on purchases made outside of the App Store. This is a huge victory for creators and fans. The Patreon iOS app is the number one platform for fan engagement on Patreon, and we believe this ruling allows creators to get paid without Apple taking 30% of all in-app payments. We know many creators may have questions about how this ruling will impact your Patreon communities and how you use the Patreon iOS app. We’ve been working urgently to understand what this ruling means and how to take action to ensure that you and your fans benefit as much as possible. Here’s the latest:" "We’re already working to update the Patreon iOS app to avoid Apple’s fees As a first step, we are submitting an update to the Patreon iOS app in Apple’s App Store immediately to include an option for fans to use an alternative payment method to Apple’s in-app purchasing system. Once approved by Apple, this update would mean that new members in the U.S. who make purchases in the Patreon iOS app will be able to choose a checkout option that does not include Apple’s 30% fee. Note: This pending app update, once approved and released in Apple’s App Store, will provide alternative checkout options for U.S.-based fans signing up for new memberships. At this time, this only applies for creators on subscription billing as legacy first-of-the-month and per-creation billing models are still unable to accept new membership sign ups in iOS." "The November 2025 subscription billing transition deadline is now on hold This is still a developing situation, but we are moving forward under the assumption that the November 2025 deadline for all Patreon creators to switch to subscription billing is no longer necessary. While additional information may come that alters Apple’s requirements for Patreon’s iOS app, we are optimistic that this ruling will give us additional flexibility in how we support creators on legacy billing models. However, for now, creators still need to be on subscription billing to be able to accept payments through the Patreon iOS app. For those who still want to proceed with switching to subscription billing, our team is happy to assist with the transition, since it still unlocks access to the latest growth tools on Patreon, like gifting, Autopilot and tier repricing. For creators on per-creation billing who are actively working with our support team to transition to subscription billing, our team will be in contact with you by the end of the day tomorrow, May 2nd, with next steps to confirm how you’d like to proceed." "Where we go from here When we first announced rolling out Apple’s in-app purchasing requirements last year, we shared that we used three principles to guide our decision in how we planned to move forward: transparency, control, and stability. In keeping with these principles, we’ll continue actively working to learn more, and we will communicate frequently and transparently as we go. This ruling is a huge moment for creators and fans, and we will continue fighting for a future where creators are in control, communities thrive, and professional creativity is possible for all. "

The best part of Lazlo's Cubed Crypt, if you never get to use it, or if you're always a player, or if you don't play DnD. It comes with a neat tchotchke that looks great on a shelf and will surely be a conversation starter. It also makes a great gift!
