I'm very, very ill at the moment, and so I thought I'd cheer myself up by finally grabbing a copy of 'Lancer'. I'm ALWAYS up for some giant robot fights, and I've heard good things about this undeniably epic tome. Plus it's illustrated by Abbadon, one of my favourite comic authors. #rpgtherapy

Spoke to my family yesterday, so obviously woke up today feeling like shit. So which card chose to fall out if the deck as I was shuffling? Sometimes it's painful to accept the Unknown's love; but cards like this show us that it's always out there, holding us in it's heart. #tarottherapy #tarotsky

Thought I'd redo my Strider Mode sheets (the old ones were getting a bit tatty). #theOneRingRPG #SoloRPGs #mapboner

I've never painted a map using watercolour before; I don't know what possessed me to put one on the front endpapers of my new bullet journal, but here's the result. Based it off of some water marks on my bath mat. Don't know how happy I am, but hey, no going back now! #fantasymaps #bulletjournals

The first TTRPG I ever played was #theoneringrpg, in which a friend played a hobbit named Bandobras Took, 'the Mighty', 'Slayer of Spiders', etc.. (His name got longer every week!) And guess what the first card I ever pulled from my new tarot deck was 🤣. #tarotsky #lordoftherings

It's been a while since I a) played 'The One Ring', and b) played a solo RPG, so thought I'd finally pick up an old character sheet and give 'Strider Mode' a go. It's great. *Of course* it's great. I get to play an old friend of a character, running through Middle Earth, rolling dice. #solorpgs

Wind your neck in, keep your head down, grit your teeth; you're nearly there. How often do our clients tell us they can't go on, right before they have a major breakthrough? They just need to have faith in themselves that they're nearly there. #tarottherapy #tarotsky #therapy

After years of um-ing and ah-ing, I finally got around to buying 'Torchbearer'. And it's great, like I always knew it would be: gritty, dark, humorously lethal. Now I'm wondering how much fun it might be to put my clients through the Grind... 😆

I've always thought of the seven of wands as 'my' card. It has a very, "Come on, you bastard!" sensibility to it; if I'm going down, you're coming with me. Clients often need a boost to their determination--and this witch is nothing if not determined! #tarottherapy #tarotsky #therapy

My copy of Unnatural Selection, the #Shadowdark supplement, has just arrived, and it's GORGEOUS. Congratulations @dungeondamsel.bsky.social, I'm really looking forward to cracking it open and torturing my players with it 🤣 #ttrpgs #therapy #rpgtherapy

The Moon truly is the psychoanalyst's card. It calls us to explore the fears and illusions (often formed in response to trauma) that plague us, and to release those defense mechanisms which no longer serve us. So take a leaf out of Red Sonja's book and fight! #tarottherapy #tarotsky #tarot #therapy

Reversed, the Queen of Pentacles advocates self-care, and the need to balance your life our a bit more. Christmas is a great time to refocus ourselves on the parts of our lives that fulfill us, and to take a step back from energy-draining activities. #tarottherapy #tarotsky #cardoftheday

So now that I'm back in Blighty, I finally have a surface area big enough to take a picture of my entire #PAXUnplugged haul. It's so purty 🤤. Just don't ask how the hell I managed to carry it all back home 🤣

Perfect card for this time of year. And what is our job as therapists if not to encourage love and self-care in our clients? Merry Christmas, all. #tarottherapy #tarotsky #oraclesky #cardoftheday

Sometimes it's important to take risks and try something new. We'll never break old patterns of behaviour without experimenting with some new ones, first. As true for the therapist as the client. #tarottherapy #cardoftheday

Day three haul from #PAXUnplugged. I have had the best of times, this weekend, meeting colleagues, making friends, and living the dream. But Christ it's been expensive!

Amazing day two at #PAXUnlimited. Got Cyberpunk Red signed by THE Mike Pondsmith, nabbed some noice dice, and, oh yeah, had an amazing panel on fem-presenting ADHD, with Charlene, Mo, Emily, Eric and Meghan. And sold several copies of my book. Yay! 🥳

Day one haul from #PAXUnplugged. Didn't even make it down three aisles! Also, thank you to @bobworldbuilder.bsky.social for not treating me like a complete lunatic when I accosted you in our hotel elevator 🤣. Pleasure meeting you, sir! Looking forward to day two 🤤

Community, shared experiences/interests, and self-care are all incredibly important for our mental health. Helping clients expand their world is often a key milestone in their therapeutic journey. #tarot #therapy #tarottherapy

Ever since Sir Terry's death, I've been trying to make the Discworld novels last. Just picked up a copy of 'Night Watch', and loved seeing a map at the front. Ankh-Morpork is probably my favourite fantasy city, and the Shades my favourite part of Ankh-Morpork. #TerryPratchett #mapboner
