What's good, Bluesky! Intro time! I'm Shea, a neurospicy bard that won't sit still.

I'm a proud foreverGM and love running ttrpgs. I also write and produce music and love doing voice work. I started @onthetopnetwork.bsky.social with my best friend and am excited to see the trouble we will get into!
Getting to be that age where I just want to run/play all the ttrpgs but then realizing the amount of work that will take sounds exhausting.

Okay #adhd bluesky, I need advice. I'm a task oriented dopaminer and have recently been butting heads with a debater dopaminer but don't know how to redirect when they come at me with their morning argument and not take it personally. Any advice?

Some quick tips for spotting gAI slop:
- if the hands don't make sense
- they still have problems with faces, eye directions are often a good tell
- if the light source is one colour but the light is another (eg: the window has a blue sky, but everything inside is red

Does anyone else get what I like to call a "hyperfocus hangover"? I'll wake up groggy, have brain fog, and have to go through the open tabs on my phone browser to see what I decided to deep dive into this time. Yay for #adhd!

Ps: last night it was tv repair...

Oof I have definitely not been active on social media lately. Sorry for depriving people of my awkward humor. I do want to say I am going to be scheduling more time in my day to socialize as we have some great things coming out of @onthetopnetwork.bsky.social soon and I cannot wait to share!

I honestly think my favorite part about starting an actual play podcast is not the excuse to have a permanent game slot scheduled, but rather the outbof contexr soundclips we make to tease each other in the discord just gives me life.

Had the sudden realization that I could go Pyro-Kineticist with a Bard Dedication and craft insults so hardcore that they are literally sick burns! Another of many reasons why #Pathfinder2e is just so much fun to play!

Anyone else still low key believe if they swallow a watermelon seed, it'll grow in their stomach, or is that just a me thing?

Was in need of a pick me up so I opened a new sponge and now I'm worried I've already peaked this week...

Good on DMDave, and others, for seeing and sharing with the #ttrpg community! We always have a say in how these things go, and we need to stand for each other now more than ever with every company under the sun trying to get their piece of pie and extort 3rd party creators.
I know a lot of yall are heaping praise on Darrington Press and Daggerheart right now and have even suggested I make content for it.

But I won’t. And here’s why.

I humbly request my fellow #Millennials that we change back to our formal title as it has become more applicable. Henceforth, we will be the Gen Ys because seriously, whyyyyyyy?!

Something we started doing at the end of our episodes for @onthetopnetwork.bsky.social is giving shout outs to books and other podcasts we're enjoying and I just love it because we've gotten so much from the #ttrpg community that it feels great to put love back and share!

Looking forward to seeing what comes out of Darrington Press now!

There is nothing in this world that can compete with the high of my adhd brain finding a new hyperfocus to dopa-mine...it's lasers, I wanna play with lasers now.

Have you heard of the critically acclaimed TTRPG Starfinder 2e? With an expanded Archives of Nethys which you can play through the entirety of Empire's Devoured and the award-winning Remastered expansion up to level 20 for free with no restrictions on playtime.

I'm definitely bringing strong Dr. Horrible vibes

I think my favorite part about being a GM is hearing the excitement of character creation and players asking if they can do this or that...It just fills me with joy and I think it's hilarious when they think their character is going to live past level 3!

If one were to try and recruit new people for an upcoming campaign on our podcast network...what are some good places to start? It's a homebrew #pf2e campaign, but I'm more than willing to teach the right people!

*This is not a paid gig, it would just be for fun and games!

People want to give Millennials crap for their parenting styles, but the reality is I literally can not afford to give my daughter trauma.
