Hello everyone, I'm Jenn!

I'm a scientist turned project manager who freelances for both film & indie ttrpg projects.

I stream a variety of games (usually platformers or mysteries), make dice (see @longdogdice.bsky.social), talk about D&D a lot, and post pictures of my dachshunds.

Welcome!

I cannot recommend the custom blending experience enough. It was such a delight to get to bring a rough idea and concept to Friday and have her come up with a tea to embody my D&D character that I've loved for years.

Nightmares on the Frontier is back in the saddle NOW (2pm PT / 5pm ET)!

For the Ten Cent Legion, there is no job too dirty, but there are jobs that are too unnerving. Too bad for them that in the city of Blackstone, there's no rest for the wicked...

Serious thing for folks to consider is, particularly for marginalized people, Grudges Are Self-Defense. What you may be interpreting as pettiness is probably closer aligned to "You have demonstrated you're not to be trusted." And knowing who REALLY has your back is more important that ever.

I feel in my bones that the wave has started to crash back in and Certain People/Companies who thought they were safe to abandon everyone they’d been pretending to care about will suddenly realize that those people have money/power and I, for one, will be holding a grudge until the end of time 💜

A good a time as any to remind y’all that there is a Sword & Tea blend!

It’s literally the best tea you’ll ever drink!

*this message is biased and totally hyperbolic*

but what if it actually is the best tea you’ve ever had? Get some and find out!

Hey if you were thinking my custom tea looked delicious when I posted it 2 weeks ago, I'm just saying today is a good day to try it yourself if you want to sneak into the Secret Menu portion of Friday's site 👀

Damn I hope so because 2024 and 2025 both put me through the ringer and I could use a breather.

This was a garbage year that I started out crying and I'm ending it crying but in the middle there were some great people, old friends and new, who made it bearable.

So thanks for being there through all shit, literally couldn't have done it without you.

An easy way to explain this:

Which is easier to do, bake a cake from scratch, or fix a cake that someone baked after they accidentally used salt instead of sugar?

Just a thing about this: a common statement in writing is that you can fix crap, but you can't fix a blank page.

I have heard AI apologists claim that this is why it's fine to generate a first draft.

Now, to be clear, fuck this.

But also: an AI draft is a fucking blank page.

I know I don’t talk about writing much. It is because I am writing so slowly.

But I want you to know that I am taking a part of this story that absolutely sucked and took me months to produce four of the worst chapters I have ever written and in the edit I figured out how to fix it.
