Gamer, dad to goblins (they're kids, I promise), sometimes drunk. Londoner. Rolling nat 1s since 1977. Cracking jokes even when I probably shouldn't.
Players last night ignored the villain to try and host a goblin bake off. DM alternated between laughing and crying. #DnDStories #TTRPG

Rolled a Nat 1 on cooking last nights dinner again. Really need to find a pizza place with a good loyalty scheme. #DadLife

Tried to clean with kids. House now sparkles. Cat too. Not intentionally. Related, I hate glitter. #ParentingFails #DadHumor

Lost shoe: check. Wrong bag: check. Existential dread: double check. Must be the mid term school run, roll on Christmas. #DadLife #MorningChaos

My DM is making a book, might even use my character for part of it. Exciting!
The air hums with magic.
A new campaign stirs beneath the surface, inked in mystery, bound in bone, and ready to rise.

DMs, what’s your wildest player derail? Mine ended with a kobold spa resort. #DnD #DungeonMasterLife #TTRPGCommunity

Parenting is like DMing a campaign no one’s read the rules for, and no one is taking notes. Everyone improvises, and somehow there’s yoghurt on the ceiling and and extra goblin in the kitchen. #Parenting #TTRPG #DadHumor

Every morning I say "we’re leaving in five minutes." Every morning the kids act like I’ve just issued an optional side quest. #DadLife #ParentingHumor #ChaosGremlins

Tried to clean the house with my kids “helping.” The result: more glitter than surface, one chair missing, cat sparkles.##ParentingFails #DadHumor #FamilyLife

Been part of one of @dalekhead.bsky.social’s tables for a while now, and trust me, if the book is like his games, it’s going to hit hard
Sharp writing, brutal choices, unforgettable stories
Can’t wait for the Kickstarter to go live

Last D&D session, the group derailed my dungeon to start a bake-off between goblins. Parenting taught me to nod, say “interesting choice,” and let the madness unfold. #DnD #TTRPGHumor #DMProblems

Turns out being a parent is like DMing a campaign you never prepped for. You think you’re running the show, but really you’re just reacting to chaos and hoping the snacks hold out.

Cooking with children is just adding 400% more mess to the same meal. Recipe card should read: “Serves 4, plus 1 tired dad with mop. May contain egg shell."

Boredom check: failed. Currently sat staring at my dice, wondering if rolling a d20 to decide which biscuit to eat counts as ‘productive use of time.’
Spoiler: it does.

So today I was reminded DMing is a lot like parenting: you set the plan, offer choices, and watch in horror as chaos reigns anyway.
Perfect!
