We wrapped recording for It's a Gamble over the weekend and all I have thought about since is how soon I can get another campaign of A Fool's Errand going

cw: pet death

I went hard on scheduling games this year after suddenly losing my cat Harvey. I mentioned that to a friend this week after telling him how many games I played this year and he said, "what a wonderful gift she gave you"
I had to do this too! I played SO MANY GAMES this year!!

this is my #ttrpgwrapped for 2025

If you are interested in tabletop RPGs and going beyond dragons and dungeons, I'd love if you gave my little shop a look!

Since launching last year, we've delivered thousands of games to thousands of homes, and there's so much more to come! #ttrpg

I think my partner is looking for a way to play a bard type character since he bought the Grunge Tarot deck specifically to play A Fool’s Errand!

Wildsailors! If you haven’t gotten your tree shanty on you’re in for a treat!!
Whispers for the Wildsea is available today!

A year and a half ago, I joined the @manysidedmedia.bsky.social Actual Play of Wildsea, and once I read the term "Tree Shanties" in the book, it was all over for me.

Like Actually, listen to this album and go play Wildsea.
I'm very proud of this little album of shanties - if you play Wildsea (please play Wildsea), use these at your table! Sing them to your fellow players!

Here, Wildsailor. In your chainsaw ships, sail in the post-verdancy, take a song - you never know where it may lead you.

I am serious when I say that the second and third best things about A Fool's Errand by @strautmaskreplica.bsky.social and @bmars.bsky.social (after it being a great game) are that the text is laid out single column and a readable size, and the pages smell lovely.

I put together a little bandcamp EP for all of the songs that have come out in the past season or so. It's Bandcamp Friday, which means Bandcamp doesn't take their cut of sales. Enjoy!

This is incredibly lovely stuff. Listen if you play The Wildsea, or if you just want beautiful folk songs about people sailing across a green ocean of trees.

Last year I played The Wildsea and wanted my character to sing sea shanties—excuse me, TREE shanties.

Then @strautmaskreplica.bsky.social blew me away with a demo of an original shanty and we ended up writing a whole album of songs for this wild world.

I'm incredibly proud of what we made :)
