Your friendly neighborhood he/they bi-romantic gray ace gaming wizard! I write/edit by day and play TTRPGs by night. Currently running Tales of the Valiant and making homebrew for it, including maps, some of which are found here: https://ko-fi.com/cynlan

So, uh, hello everyone! You might recognize me by my previous R. B. LeMoyne Twitter name, or from other corners of the internet (and J!NX) as Cynlan. I play and run TTRPGs, I make homebrew stuff (magic items, subclasses, etc.) for those games, and I've been getting into making battle maps:

Another week, another desperate plea to the universe to erase AI from reality so we can go back to employing actual living people instead of trusting some programmer's plagiarism machine to do the work. Or, better yet, to make universal basic income a thing everywhere.

Per independent experts, layoffs last month were over 153K — the worst October in 22 years.
Over 1 million workers have been laid off this year, partially because of AI and chaotic mismanagement of the economy.

It occurs to me that I so rarely mention the game I'm currently running, focusing so much on characters from campaigns long since ended. I'm in the midst of a Strixhaven campaign with my group, but we've switched from base 5e to Tales of the Valiant for our ruleset and character creation!

I'm trying to keep upbeat as best I can, but I'll be honest, I'm in a bad place mentally. Nothing I've put up on my shop is selling, so I'm kinda at a loss. Someone please hire me to edit their captions or book or something, because I don't know what I'll do when unemployment benefits run out.
