I've been attempting unseeded high score (naneinf) runs on #balatro. Today, I had a perfect start (Ante 1 Perkeo + later Baron/Mime). I felt unstoppable.
But then I saw The Plant.
I'd bet there was an earlier Luchador that could have saved the run.
The seed is 7I9MJF5P if you'd like it try it!

I haven't been on here much recently. My dog is limiting my screen time.
I do what she says, of course. After all, she wears the pants in our household

Ah, Colby. Thank you for championing two of my favorite things: Optimizing characters and optimizing Excel spreadsheets (that none of my family or friends care about)
The entire reason I started my YouTube channel about Wizards and Warlocks:

#DM tip of the day!
Include your players more when session planning!
The purpose of the DM is to tell the story the players want to be a part of. Take their thoughts & ideas into account, ask them questions related to what you're planning, w/out giving away the details!

A few minutes ago, our foster dog hopped on the couch and leaned on me. I started singing "Lean on Me" to her.
After a few seconds, she got up and moved away from me. I guess she didn't like my singing!

I've created another monster! (It's also really stupid)
Here's the stat block for the "Thost" (pronounced like "toast"). This spectral loaf of bread has risen (heh) from the bread to haunt your next game of D&D!

I was scrolling through my Seek app, which tries to identify species based on photos. Here's my photo of a "domestic dog" (taken from a Nat Geo YouTube thumbnail)
Now I'm getting ideas for a new D&D monster:
The Really Big "Dog"

You love to see it when your TTRPG players use a limited resource to help an NPC in need.
You doubly love to see it when the GM rewards that generosity!
Awesome game story, @wobblerocket.bsky.social!

They gave Albert one of their potions to heal his injuries and told him to escape.
Before he left, he sketched a rough layout of the remainder of the dungeon, and told them where to find a pair of potions he'd managed to keep hidden in the prisoner cells. Albert thanked them and departed.

Listen to other players' turns in and out of combat.
It's SO BELITTLING to your fellow players when you only value the stuff that YOU do at the table.
Every game is an ensemble cast sharing spotlight.
I promise, if you ignore other players, they WILL resent you.

Hearing a friend say they get excited by how excited I get about my D&D character/OC makes me really overjoyed. I’m always afraid I’m annoying about it.
This happened earlier today and I’m still fucking hyped.

What I find fascinating about the #TTRPG Community is how people's backgrounds, upbringing, and day jobs inform the types of things they like to do in the space, and the specific lens through what they create.

If Supergiant makes Hades 3, I want to play as Hades fighting to escape the responsibility of being a dad. The final bosses are Zag and Mel doing combo moves as they hurl dad jokes at you
