It's weird not to be at home for the start of pride month. Feels very important to be an out and representative member. I need to find and join my queer community when I get home. I feel very isolated lately, and this isn't a time anyone can afford to be alone...

30k words in I got some pretty harsh feedback about my book. But they encouraged me to keep going and finish. The draft is going to be brutal...

Sometimes, I have too many games going on. Sometimes, I need to run more games.

Right now, I feel like the latter.

Helplessly living in and facing a deluge of American news helplessly is a unique sort of horror.

There are a hundred million others like me who are equally troubled, horrified, and helpless.

When I look around for resistance, there's no one left.

It's like authoritarian isolation is a mechanism.

I was invited to speak with a game design class at SVA tonight. Excited but nervous!

I wanted something as dark and hopeless as a black hole, and not, Negative Space by B R Yeager is hitting that spot. This book needs all the content warnings. #horror #book #novel #hopeless #bleak #despair

I've reduced my FOMO by 77.3% and feelings of isolation and loneliness by 13.5% ever since I left Facebook.

Coincidence?! I think not!

Up and down 5th Ave on 34th street.

I'll be there on Saturday. Hope to see you too. If anyone is going lmk if you want company.

NYC: april 5th, Bryant Park, 1pm - 3pm

There's a certain joy in designing a session that's 3 encounters slammed into one, with each one escalating the threat while asking the players to problem solve on the spot. #PF2 #ttrpg #gameswithstakes

I miss reading and writing blogs. This short-form content leaves me wanting. I crave longform writing with context, nuance, and depth. When I write, I need that extra space to express myself correctly. I know it feels indulgent, punks could play whole songs in 1 minute, but still... #blogging

I think my faovrite thing about Pathfinder 2e is how easy it is to run, despite the complexity of math underneath. it plays fast at the table. And I need to remember saying "yes" or "roll to see if you can" makes it go even faster than saying "no." #paizo #pathfinder2e

This week's #LastWeekTonight broke me out of my blinders mode and threw me back into anxiety that feels like someone is standing on my chest.

I want to keep my kids safe and write my books. Not panic about how to save a country. But I need to do something... Evil men, good people, etc.

Reading through Wanderhome. I wish I could edit it down to rules and compress the layout into denser chunks of text.

It's a pretty book, but impractical. I'm looking forward to running a session in a couple of weeks and then hacking at it to fit my needs...

Busy week with Twenty Sided Tavern on Thursday night, Book of Mormon last night, and Life and Trust tonight. Playing board games through Sunday afternoon will feel like a nice come down from all this theater.

I'm reading through the Alien RPG, and I'm eager to get started with it!

The book makes it very clear it's a horror game and to expect fatalities, not super-heroics.

I just picked up the Chariot of the Gods campaign book to run, and just wish I could get a print copy.
