Last day of PAX, running around the con again! Say hi, and if you want a business card, let me know!
Rogan wearing a green mask, kufiya, and glasses, eyes crinkled from smiling. They're wearing a white shirt and a dark blue/purple button shirt with white star and golden sun patterns all over it. They also have a rainbow strap from their fanny pack running across their chest.

Time for a refresh of my profile pic across socials!
Rogan, a white masc-presenting person with a mustache/beard combo, is standing with their arms crossed and smiling slightly. They’re in front of out-of-focus bookshelves that are full with books and has a few art pieces placed here and there. They’re wearing a white t-shirt and a very dark blue button shirt that has patterns of white stars and the golden Sun.

I’m still in awe that I was able to go see @dimension20.bsky.social live, and on my birthday to boot! What an excellent birthday gift to myself! So here’s some pictures of the night. I saw so many wonderful cosplays, and as a DM, I had to cosplay the man himself, @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social.
Rogan standing in front of a digital poster for the Dimension 20 LIVE Quangle Quest event, which shows the cast in various poses and expressions. Rogan is mimicking Brennan Lee Mulligan's quirked eyebrow and pose. They have eyeshadow makeup on, and are wearing a green long sleeve with leather bracers on their arms. A wide shot inside of the Climate Pledge Arena, all the stadium seating is washed in blue lighting, and bright white lights center on the stage, with the Dimension 20 performers sitting in a triangular shape. In the foreground are three interpreters, two of them are signing and they’re all lit by small soft yellow lights. A zoomed in shot of the stage, people surrounding the edges and filling the stadium seats, with all six of the performers waving to the cheering crowd at the end of the show. The performers from left to right: Siobhan Thompson, Zac Oyama, Lou Wilson, Brennan Lee Mulligan, Emily Axford, and Brian Murphy. A selfie of Phelan (Rogan’s partner) and Rogan in their seats, both smiling widely. Phelan is a little dressed up, wearing a button shirt, while Rogan is in cosplay. They have a green long sleeve shirt and leather bracers on their arms. They also have green/blue eyeshadow and a white streak added to their beard, mimicking a mix of Brennan’s looks from both seasons of Dungeons and Drag Queens.

It’s Daggerheart day! This was a huge project with so many people involved, and I’m honored to say that I was a consultant and writer for the Deaf section! Now I can say I’ve been published 😜
Rogan holding up the core rulebook of Daggerheart, a fantasy tabletop roleplaying game. The cover has people of various species: elves, humans, frog people, bird people, etc. They’re arranged like a movie poster, then there’s two at the bottom facing off against a massive insect-like monster that takes up a chunk of the cover. A close up shot of one of the pages inside the Daggerheart core rulebook, with a couple of dice arranged nearby. Two columns are shown, the titles and only a portion of the columns are visible. The first title is Playing a Blind or Visually Impaired Character by Deven Rue, the second is Playing a Deaf Character by Rogan Shannon.

What do you call a pick-me player who doesn’t play well with the party?
A picture of an auto shop with their large sign. The name is D&D Brakes, in white text on a red background. On the right edge of the image, a red D&D is visible on the building’s roof. It looks very similar to the Dungeons and Dragons logo.

Just watched The Six Triple Eight, an amazing movie about the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, an all-Black and all-female battalion, in World War II. They were assigned the impossible task of delivering a backlog of 17 million pieces of mail within six months. Incredible story.
Movie poster of The Six Triple Eight, with Kerry Washington in the center, holding a piece of mail, in US Army uniform with several other Black women lined up behind her, an American flag, and a few fighter jets in the sky. A black-and-white photo of the original 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, an all-Black and all-female battalion, in World War II. There are two lines of Black women in uniform, Major Adams inspecting the troops.

Ya boy just hit 650 days of Spanish! I know Duolingo is not thee way to learn languages, but it is a start (and I took two years in high school).

I’m curious, what’s your favorite way to learn and practice languages? Must be ADHD friendly!
An image from Duolingo in all orange and yellow hues. On the right is Duo, the owl mascot, wearing sunglasses with its wings spread, and a bigger outline of flaming yellow wings. On the left is text that says I’m on a 650 day learning streak!

I just finished Spiritfarer, and it’s so good! You play as Stella and find spirits, learn about what they like and don’t like, care for them until they’re ready to move on. You mine, grow, cook, do all the hard work. In short, Animal Crossing with death, and very much for adults.
A 2D illustrated game screenshot: a ship with a fancy eagle/sun prow is sailing on red sea, a beige sky with scudding clouds. In the distance, white cherry trees in the water that almost look like clouds, and a big arch among them. On the prow stands Stella, a brown-skinned person with orange hair. She’s wearing a large five-pointed teal witch’s hat edged with gold, a dark gray shirt and black pants, teal shoes, and a glowing light in the center of her belt. At her feet is Daffodil, a black cat with a glowing light in the center of his collar.

It’s not ~professional~ but it’s what I use for all my socials!
Rogan looking at the camera and smiling with a shine in their eyes. They have a glorious mustache that has waxed and curved ends. They have earrings on, blurred by the portrait mode, and are wearing a dark gray button shirt that has bright green-blue outlines of monstera leaves.

This is how I'm feeling while trying to figure out the measurements for a sewing pattern that I'm making from scratch.

Also, this is from my most recent lesson. Yes, that’s why I love Seattle. You can stay away 🤭

(English in alt text)
A lesson screenshot, “No quiero ir a Seattle en otoño porque siempre llueve en octubre.” English: “I don’t want to go to Seattle in the fall because it always rains in October.”

✨I did it!✨
A screenshot of Duolingo, the colors are all gold and orange, Duo has big golden wings and is wearing sunglasses. The text reads, “I’m on a 200 day language learning streak!”

It’s been about a year since I decided to try out a mustache, and I have to say, it was a good decision 😌

I need a daily reminder app that’s just as emotionally manipulative as @duolingo is, Apple reminders just doesn’t cut it.

Decided to be petty as hell today, and pay my parking ticket in the smallest change possible. This ticket was for parking in a spot not even 20 minutes.

Result: $1 in pennies, $1 in nickels, $4 in dimes + a couple nickels, 45 cents with 4 dimes + 5 pennies, and $16 in quarters + some dimes/nickels.

Butter is also inspired by my roommate’s cat, named Maslow (which means butter) 😌 pictures attached for reference!
A HeroForge 3D model of Butter, a snarling cat-person wearing earth toned clothing, he’s completely black and fluffy. Butter is in the middle of casting big magic in a swirling electric blue arc between his hands. A fluffy black cat curled up on his back, paws up in the air, with eyes squeezed shut, luxuriating on a comfy green-blue crocheted blanket.

Got a new one piece from my best friend, IT’S SO COMFY!
Rogan is half smiling, looking directly at the camera. They have a black velvet short sleeved one piece on, the first two buttons are undone and one hand is in a pocket.
