For 6 years I've been playing Talitha; originally a Doomed Speaker who Makes Prophecy ("Beware the oncoming plague of undeath!"), she is now a Hideous Speaker who Consorts with the Dead. She likes to make tea for people, and is mostly unaware of the cult that follows her. Art credit in the alt text!

My local xenomorph approves.

Our current goofball (Tali, black fur) and our late elder-matriarch goofball, Ahsoka.

I publish the GameMaster’s Apprentice decks, which are system-neutral NPC/event/content generation tools that can double as a GM engine/oracle for solo gaming.

They come in many flavors, including genre-neutral, but the most recent is Cyberpunk!

Fortunately, my childhood rival was available to help with the evolution.

I’m teaming up with Grimwild to offer a 50%-off bundle for 48 hours!

If you’re into fast-paced narrative gameplay with an heroic fantasy flavor, and/or want two GameMaster’s Apprentice decks at a steep discount, enjoy, and please repost!

In the wake of irl chaos, it’s nice to meet all of you joining us here!

I’m Nathan Rockwood; I teach Game Dev (formerly English) at a high school in the US, which is genuinely an awesome job.

I also run a small game dev company.

Come talk to me about game dev, teaching, playing games, etc!

We love that the dice pool countdown plus On Point counterclockwise rotation keeps the heroic focus well-shared between squadmates. And I’m… a little into Mass Effect (sleeve tattoo pictured), as I teach game design. Planning to add the board game to my class rotation as an example of A+ adaptation!

Parent of one of my students just gifted me a ram skull and a coyote skull to add to the Altar of Skulls in my classroom!

I’ve done it. I’ve achieved critical mass, and the Altar now draws more skulls to itself automatically.

Got the classroom tidied up before leaving for break. The Altar of Skulls grows.

I’m really curious about the story behind this relatively new local eatery. What is so good it would tempt in Bigfoot at a dockside dive? Especially given his well established hydrophobia?
