TTRPGs for the win. Add in a dash of sports for flavour.

Ladies and gentlemen, I will be picking up this little man on Sunday. He does not yet have a handle. He needs one.

What do you think this little child should be called?

Power doesn’t come from crowns—it comes from courage. Sending strength, solidarity, and safety to the No Kings movement today.

As a new DM in the early days, I really had a hard time understanding why a PC should be awarded experience pts simply for picking a few coins up off the ground. It took me a while to accept the rationale, despite the logic of GP = XP being clearly explained in the DMG.

Hey, if anyone on here happens to be a friend of Steven Erikson, or is actually a Steven Erikson burner account, would be great if you could let him know there's a whole community of us here who would love to see him on here.

So, yeah, thanks in advance.

Re-upping this, if you know of any great Canadian #ttrpg follows (or if you ARE one!), let me know -

Like 80% certain I'm just going to do a box break on these and see if I strike gold on something rare. These sealed boxes are actually decreasing in value at this point, so what do I have to lose, lol?

#fabtcg
Still can't make my mind up - do I keep sitting on these sealed boxes of Flesh & Blood - Monarch (foolish impulse buy - I know, I know... 😏) or open them and see if I can find something cool? They're not doing much, value-wise.

Still working hard on pulling this project together, so any support in the form of ISK or ships/items would earn my everlasting and infinite gratitude. Name in-game is "Tommy Temagami". Thank you!

#EVEOnline #mmorpg
A shot in the dark, but if anyone has an old/dormant EVE Online acct (ie. has no use for their ISK or assets anymore) and would be willing to help, I'd be grateful to hear from you - I am working on a major project and every little bit moves me closer to my goal.

If you can help, please hit me up!

Ok, here's my wish list of #ttrpg to buy, learn, and play in 2025 - really hoping I get to try at least a few of these!

Steven Erikson deserves a place alongside Tolkien as the greatest fantasy author of all time.

City system for #DnD that I've created for my own campaign and that has been slowly evolving over the past year. My wife watches Sister Wives, which gave me the idea for Evermere's unique system of governance. Strange but true.

Noticing many more listings of AD&D 1e items on eBay that are perfect-bound reprints, not original items. Even more annoyingly, they're usually listed for the same price as the originals.

Beyond the fact that these are a proper pain to filter out, is selling reprints even legal?

Next on the list of targets:

T1-4 The Temple of Elemental Evil
OP1 Tales of the Outer Planes

It's been great reconnecting with the AD&D 1e material that was such a big part of my life back in the '80s. Working to rebuild the collection I had has been such a nostalgic ride. Pure joy.

Postscript: this stuff is costing me infinitely more than it did in 1985, blergh
I did it! The very last orange spine I needed to rebuild the collection that disappeared from my dorm room in 1988 is now winging its way to me. Feel free to bask in the glow of my boundless happiness.

Now I get to start assembling 1e modules and supplements!

Heading out for Warbler Walk no. 2 of the year - bit cool today, but no wind, so activity will likely be lower but what's there should be easy enough to see. 2025 warbler list to date:

Pine
Palm
Yellow-rumped

I won't be mad with anyone today based on who you vote for, but I will be less than impressed if you choose not to exercise your franchise and sit this one out.

Vote red, blue, orange, green, or that weird off-blue-turquoise thing the BQ is rocking, but dammitall, VOTE! 🍁

I voted! Take advantage of the advance polls in your riding and make sure you vote - this is perhaps the most important election of our lifetime, and your voice matters!

If ever there was a perfect candidate for Prime Minister in these challenging times, it's Mark Carney. The man for the moment.

Everytime Mark Carney talks Canadians learn something about the economy and his strategy for success.

This is why the world calls him the rockstar economist.

We are lucky he's our PM in this Trade War
