I'm hosting some panels at Mythic Con this weekend, and I'm realizing as I'm putting my notes together that I may end up with WAY more material than I need. 😂

Is it perfectly normal to find yourself seeing random things in your social media feed or your media library (fiction, songs, podcasts, short articles, etc) and immediately start thinking about turning them into TTRPG scenarios? Asking for a friend... 😬

Sadly, I've been having to take some time off video game streaming due to real life getting in the way. I'm hoping I'll be able to resolve things so I can get back to it soon! 🤞

For me, the change from October to the last two months of the year is basically a slow transition from modern ghost & fairy stories to medieval ghost & fairy stories.

The finale episode of the epic two-part event, "The Mystery of the Dead Quarterback" in "Asher's Ridge" tonight is now LIVE!

Featuring:

@troopersjp.bsky.social ersjp.bsky.social

Watch on:
twitch.tv/PbPlaysInside
White text with an orange edge, from left to right reads.: Greets from "Asher's Ridge", Redacted, USA. - Meet us - October 21 & 28, 7pm CT/ 8pm ET. Background, an autumnal scene in the valley leading into a dark, snowcapped mountain range. Along the hills on either side of the valley full of reds, oranges, and dying greens, are several smaller figures littering the scene. From left to right, a green spectre, a large furry brown walking figure, a flying saucer bearing green light down on a mountain's peak, a black quadropede with red eyes leaps, two red robes figures walk through the brush, and a hovering dark winged figure with thin protrusions coming from their head, and piercing red eyes, looks down the ridge at the valley. Over the mountain scene, there are three portraits of the shows performers from left to right: 1. A white male with a well kept medium sized graying beard and moustache, and slicked back hair, in a tan jacket and bright blue shirt, looks into the camera with a small smile. The backdrop there is a scene of autumnal trees on the other side of still water. Labeled as "Otherdoc". 2. An olive-toned female, with cascading, wavy medium black hair flipped to the left, dark rimmed glasses, and a black v-neck shirt, looks into the camera with a slight smile, while shrouded illuminated from a dark background. Labeled, "PbPlaysInside". 3. The profile of a brown male, wearing a black dark collared shirt, with a short to a medium sized gray beard and a curled moustache. A feathered tattoo curled around the back of their ear, and no hair, looks stoic to the left, off in the distance. The backdrop is a weathered red brick wall. Labeled, "TrooperSJP".
