At my LGS. Weekly Greyhawk game. Finished a chase. PCs routed their pursuers just as a red dragon set fire to enemy wagons! They took their 1st bastion turn! We took ⏱️ to make sure players were comfortable with rules! The 🚘 home sucked ❄️❄️ but got home safely #dnd #ttrpg #gratitude

This past weekend at Con of the North, Tyler Disera and Chris Dvergsten’s (TOASTY! shopped in) 1st AL Dungeoncraft adventure, ‘Clouded Visions’ premiered to a home crowd. Their excitement was deeply humbling. Mentorship matters and means a lot to creatives. The game wins. #ttrpg #DnD #LiftOthersUp

Was able to keep my voice together for my last three D&D Org Play events at Con of the North. So many new smiling and immersed faces. I was able to help players navigate meta anxiety/timing pressure thru their first AL epic! It was deeply humbling and helpful. A win for D&D! #dnd #ttrpg

There’s a lot of hidden symbolism in Benito’s halftime performance. BB used symbols because you can bleep words but not images.

Bad Bunny came knowing the game, and he played it masterfully.

We were rolling dice & rolling down the River Velverdyva at Winter Fantasy 2026. Fire alarm screwed with my siesta, rushed downstairs to be told ‘all clear’. Got kudos from players, DMs and story leads the deliverables for this convention. Tomorrow is all GhostFire Gaming events and talking shop.

May all your zines be funded and all your backers, loyal.

A DMs work, even a Most Okayest one, is never done …and apparently never is the cycle of dirty garb. At Laundry World setting everything right.

While running a chase scene in my weekly Greyhawk game, I drew this clock and filled in a ‘tic’ at the end of each round. I hinted at “a distant roar in the sky, too far to place..” #dnd #ttrpg

A great reminder to all who present RPG. This especially resonates most with me when I’m running at conventions.
RPG tip: Keep an eye on the time. Adjust your adventure early to fit the time you have.
