Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn’t understand normal sane Americans crave” and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like “Leprechauns are real and I’m going to cook one”

I was the cultural consultant on this edition of Designers & Dragons: Origins. Reading them illuminated so many details relevant to my job about why games are the way they are. I'm gonna be talking about the Atruaghin Clans, Drums on Fire Mountain, and the Orcs of Thar the rest of my life…
In 2013, I started writing product histories for @drivethrurpg.com and their new releases of D&D PDFs. It was a great opportunity and I got *lots* of comments on them. The most common: when are you going to collect these into a book? Those books are available now on Backerkit!

explain your username:
all capoeiristas formally receive an insulting nickname based on their idiosyncrasies. my wrestling background led to several awkward in-game grappling situations, so mine is "lula" ("squid"). b/c that username's often taken online i further specified it to my favorite squid.

explain your username:
short version: it’s my author pen name
long version: I was going by the initials “CM” on a message board for writers, because it stood for “Chicken Mafia.” People knew me as CM and then suddenly I needed a real name for human interaction purposes.

I started going by “Miss Kitty Fantastico” online when I started watching Buffy The Vampire Slayer as a teenager, but that was often too longer for a username on a lot of sites, so I shortened it to “misskittyf.” It’s stuck for nearly 20 years now.
