Huge nerd, former newspaper reporter. Tabletop gaming and movie enthusiast. I also used to do the Live to Die podcast (a nerdy RPG podcast)
Got a hold a big FriendCon today ❤️ It’s so special to connect and spend time with people to care about—while doing something you all enjoy.
I didn’t meet all these people playing Magic. I’ve stayed in touch with a lot of these people because of playing Magic.
It’s really nice to have hobbies.

I may not be at GenCon this year but I’m going to celebrate my own four days of gaming in its honor.
Day 1: Commander Night at the LGS

I got to do my three and a half favorite Magic the Gathering things tonight:
1. Play Magic
2. Hang out with great people
3. Open packs
Bonus item: win my store’s Final Fantasy prerelease! ❤️

It felt really special to see my community turn out to something like this—and it felt really special to be a part of it.
Now is an important time to build and be a part of community.

I highly encourage people to make something creative with their friends. That being said, if you pick #podcasting just be aware that it’s like 70 percent editing. Find a way to enjoy the production of your fun or it’ll eat you.
It’s totally worth it ❤️

OK, this thing is adorable and I think I’m in love.

Recharging with a giant co-op campaign of Total War: Warhammer with friends and a delightful Lego set. (Not pictured: my favorite local breakfast burrito)

I got to play Magic at my LGS tonight with some buddies and then go watch “Scream” with friends. Darn good night.

I’m always so stoked when I find anyone that’s excited to watch a horror movie with me, especially a favorite of mine—which I usually take as an excuse to dress to the theme.

My friend went undefeated at his first prerelease this weekend! The best Magic is the gathering.

Made it to Thursday, celebrated with commander at the LGS.

Kitchen table Innistrad Remastered draft tonight! (A lot of magic this week, but the friendship and community is really needed)

I got to make a pile of zombies

It’s commander night tonight and I’m really thankful I’ve got such a lovely LGS to play at. I’ve got a lot of gratitude this week for community spaces that feel safe, nourishing and happy.

I got to spend really valuable time with friends playing pathfinder over the weekend. I really value those happy moments.

Every January I get the urge to build things. This year I’ve got a great lineup of projects. First up is this Gundam model kit I’ve been excited build for ages!
It’s only my fourth model kit like this, but I’m hoping my wargaming model experience helps!

Just an appreciation post for the employees and regulars who make a LGS such an amazing space—you know the ones I’m talking about ❤️

I went to my first FNM (it was also my first-ever constructed Magic event) and had the best time! Everyone was so nice and welcoming. I’m so excited to go again!

Commission this artist!! I worked with @bubblerum.bsky.social for some character art on my podcast when we started out a couple years ago and had an AMAZING experience!
