Well, Daggerheart outer sleeve survived 1.5 game trips in my backpack.
I usually take books out of sleeves for travel, but kinda needed the sleeve to keep the cardbox shut.
In retrospect, shoulda left the card box at home, since the sleeved cards for pregens didn't fit back into it anyway.

Saw this meme and it reminded me of how every time I'd use my sorcerer's once a day ability to deal like 80 damage, I'd get called an optimizing powergamer, but the fighter and ranger each doing 3x20 damage every single turn without using any resources was always ok.

Whatever failures you have in your working life, i hope they're not as bad as whoever designed this bus shelter in Toronto, which provides ansolutely no fucking shelter.

Sometimes when you have a bottle of water and a box of smarties, you grab the box and pour the candy into you hand before eating. Other times, you grab the bottle of water and pour it into your hand...
This is totally normal. Nobody saw.

At work today, some folks added a Dodgers logo to the Halloween decorations, and I couldn't help myself!
Ended up watching game 5 of the World Series at the dome, with 30,000 other fans.

Having put out some 25-50k kickstarters, I'm excited to learn from the quoted post that i've made it to the point of being too big for reviews.
Now that I've apparently reached the pinnacle of the industry, I don't even know what to do to celebrate.

My business brain knows that video games are a massive part of the economy, but the nerd in me still can't help but smile seeing something like a Ghost of Yotei streetcar ad.

When you find a perfect parking spot, then just say "fuck it" and park on the road beside it instead.

As I reflect on GameholeCon, I can't help but think that I've written my final #dnd Adventurers League adventure, and ran my last AL game.
Few things have brought me more creative joy than seeing my adventure run for tables of excited players, and then chatting with DMs about it.
I'll miss it. 😔

Home after an awesome GameholeCon and 14 hours of travel. Already miss friends and conversations.
The urge i have this morning is to send about a dozen messages to people saying "sorry we couldn't hang out more!"
My loot is contributor copies and some older items friends helped me get!
