Pulled this real life mythos tome down last night to give it an overdue second look, and after waking up on the garage floor with my eyes bleeding, I gently put it back on the shelf to give it another go next year. 😅

First game of 2026 is back to Traveller tonight. My PC is a shady archaeologist who joined the crew a year ago while fleeing gambling debts. Since then it’s been mad scientists, ancient tech, and now running from corrupt corps. I’ve really come to appreciate the game and look forward to more. 🤘🏻😊🚀

I probably drank more over the holidays than I did the entire year, which was maybe three or four times total. Just joining the festivities, but honestly I didn’t miss it and am over it. Bottle’s corked and stored till next year. 😄

Since there’s no way I’m staying awake long enough to greet 2026 on Pacific Time, I’ll wish you all a Happy New Year now. Catch you on the far side of this abstract construct we call time. 🤘🏻😊🥂

One of the things that sucks about being on the west coast for New Years is it’s like being picked last for dodge ball in the 3rd grade all over again.

Going into the New Year my british friends taught me a new word, spaffing, and I wish they hadn’t. 😅

I only played a handful of new-to-me TTRPGs this year but except for a couple of convention one-shots, we opted to play them long enough (>10 sessions) to get a good taste, which I really prefer. Plus, continuing a few years-long campaigns, which is also awesome! Here’s to long plays.

It’s a quiet New Year’s Eve for us, we are just going to chill while the kids are off with friends. So for a little entertainment to pass the time, let’s play my silly game again.
Roll a d1084 and I’ll see what random RPG book I pull from my shelf. #ttrpgs

Not the way I hoped to ring in the New Year. Another of the old guard gone, and the world feels a little emptier tonight. Rest well, Tim. You have left behind quite the legacy. #TTRPGS

Last TTRPG read for 2025. Time to see what all the hubbub is about. 😊🤘🏻

Essentially saying that paying several thousand dollars to speed run Masks of Nyarlathotep in one weekend at a hotel cosplaying as a castle might not have been the wisest financial investment.
What’s the funniest reason someone got mad at you on Bluesky this year?

Looking back on my 2025 in TTRPGs, there were some truly heartbreaking lows, but it was also a year full of bright spots I am truly grateful for.

Me, sitting down after the holiday and trying to coordinate all my January TTRPG related scheduling.

Watching a streamer with my son and I think I may have discovered the perfect rules-light TTRPG stat system. 😅🇨🇦

Why do I love RPGs? Why do I especially love horror RPGs? They inspire deep emotional exploration. I did a 2-shot that shows it. Watch these players fall into what the people they made go through.

2026 is lookong to be a great year for attending a couple cons that aren’t on the West Coast. I can’t attend all my current choices, so now I’m trying to prioritize:

Origins
ChaosiumCon
GameholeCon
KamCon

Still conflicted on which ones to choose and of course they could be swapped out. 😅

Last RPG Review of the year.
Today we're delving into the world of Delta Green, a grim Lovecraftian horror game about conspiracies, investigation, trauma, isolation, and fear.

Reading a bit of a long winded rant and I believe the general point being made is that statistically speaking, most TTRPGs out there aren’t for you, but the trick is knowing the difference between “not for you” and “bad” when talk about them, because those usually aren’t the same thing. 🤔

My daughter got a TV from Grandpa for Christmas, and I finally got it mounted today. This was the very first thing she put on. No complaints here. 🤘🏻😅

Received a surprise after Christmas gift in the mail. 😊🤘🏻 An unboxing and first impression video may be moved to the front of the line, just ignore the obvious retaping of the envelope. 😉

I was going to create a TTRPG with the stats Dexterity, Intelligence, Charisma, Knowledge and Strength.

Acronyms be damned.

Tonight’s DCC Caverns of Thracia: A portal has brought us to the lost ruins of Thracia. While camping in a ruined temple, my wizard drank from a basin, seized, and saw a dark vision asking for an offering. When she woke, the rest of the party was about to be beset upon by ghouls. Good times ahead.😅🤘🏻
