In last night's DnD session, my character offered the memory of his mother's face as a bid in an auction, resulting in many gasps from the party.
Someone outbid me with a memory driving them on a quest for vengeance so that I could keep the happy memory.
We didn't have to bid anything. We did this

Real talk with my limited reach here...
My mental health has been a bit of a dumpster fire of late, not at all helped by the stress of trying to get my first house (with my brother) and all the nonsense that goes with that.
I have a small break this week, and then I'll try not be a ghost 👻

I had a super time at @octocon.bsky.social this weekend!
I'm now exhausted, and would like to spend the rest of the month in bed. (I have no more cons until November!)
Psyched for Cork in 2026 with @cemurphy.bsky.social and @aptshadow.bsky.social as Guests of Honour!

@pauljholden.com and @mikeowencarroll.bsky.social are being delightfully chaotic, and @paulcarroll.bsky.social is gleefully enabling them.
