Snoopy and Woodstock are just figures in The Darkness

All the authority figures talk like trombones

I think this works. @brianliberge.bsky.social ?

Endorsing this as one of my favorite games

You don't need to impress everyone.

Some people just aren't going to like you and that's fine.

If the live languages are a thing, Quality Time is rapidly becoming the one that matters to me in this phase in my life.

Sometimes being the bigger person isn't worth the energy. Sure, being a cool unbothered bitch is badass, but it's also resource intensive.

Maybe just don't share spaces with people you don't like.

The biggest lesson:

Learn to love the experience you have over the experience you imagined.

I had several points where I momentarily felt disappointed by an experience because it didn't match my dream of it. It caused me to miss out on the cool stuff I was actually doing.

Weird discoveries: I'm more into cis men than I thought I was, gotta figure that one out. (It's too many for it to be rare exceptions at this point)

I am still a very heavy masochist

I am just a good game designer. I have a knack for this and I think I have vanquished my imposter syndrome.

That being said: I did it. I did a lot of fucking cool roleplaying. I made a lot of new friends. I cried a lot of tears that belonged to characters and not to me.

I helped put on a 40 person lore heavy fantasy horror larp, and the only complaint I have heard is people wanting to play longer

I am not my best self when I am in this state. A lot of things I have improved at slipped. I hurt friends. I dropped the ball on obligations. My brain reverted to a lot of self preservation functions which made me kind of an asshole to be around in sudden bursts

I'm currently working on a game called The Crying Court that fits the bill. You play a girl stolen by the fae to be a daughter. It's a game of courtly tactics and feminine cruelty.

Let me know if you'd like an invite to the playtest discord. I'll be starting another wave of playtesting next month

I didn't know he had a bsky or I would have done the same

I'm so excited to find out you two are friends
