The Sunflower Lord looks *exactly* like your grandmother. He smiles with her chubby cheeks and well-worn teeth and wears a golden crown of fragile petals. He spits, on occasion, into a chalice you never quite see inside of, but speaks sweetly and asks after your mother. His kindly advice is decree.
You got a character! Who is "The Sunflower Lord"?

Former Amazon worker here; do not cross this picket line. Don't do it. Don't even order from them (unless absolutely necessary). They're a disgusting company to work for and the reason for my knee problems that required years of physical therapy.
Fuck Amazon. We stand with the workers! 👊🏻✨

"Cabin in the Wood" but for Hallmark Movies.
Ever wonder why all those TV specials are so formulaic? Well there's a reason for that! A huge, cosmic, reality-shattering reason!
The Love Gods demand Love! And only you can maintain the ritual!

Y'all, the most joyous ending to Quinns Quest just dropped. This review of @wilkiescandylab.com's Slugblaster is the cherry on top of a great season of role-playing journalism. It's a game that is close to my age old, teenage heart, that deserves all the attention it can get.

I'm the Rip Van Winkle of microblogging and not sure how much I'll post. BUT I'll be at PaxU, so maybe we'll meet there!
For GenCon I made a grungy little zine about the games I'd played in 2024 but bailed when it came to actually handing it over to new friends. Want one?
