As part of my own efforts towards #reconciliation I've updated/rewrote my post on the actions I make to #decolonize my #dnd and other #ttrpgs I play and #write.

Let me know if these help, or how you make efforts in your work.

Happy #StarTrek Day! 59 Years and going strong. This is the only science fiction that reminds us we can be better than we are now. IDIC

Hey #booksky here are the 12 core #novel for Appendix Lit: Season 5. (There's 3 bonus novels too)

Our #bookclub encourages #inspiration by centring on #diverse authors and voices. These new stories have been a boon to my #TTRPG #games.

Wow! 📖 What a way to go out! I finished reading the last book in Appendix Lit #bookclub season 4. This was great! Stop by Aug 15 for the chat and rating!

Also do you have suggestions for Season 5 books? 📚 I have a long list that needs help narrowing down. Stay tuned!
An image of the novel "The Last Watch" by J. s. Dewes. The cover is black with the image of a space cruiser sliced diagonally through its midship. The front half of the ship has disintegrated while the back half remains intact.

I'm planning a debrief from my time at D&D in a Castle. It was great! I ran about 64 hours of #dnd. Here's a little fun clip I made and some thoughts as a teaser...

Encourage Queer Joy at Every #Tabletop 🌈
#Games aren’t just escapism, they’re rehearsal for a more inclusive world. My latest blog shares how you can truly embrace #Queer #Joy in #dnd and other #ttrpg, from #storytelling tips to practical tools!
✨Link thegmtim.ca/2025/07/02/q... (3 parts if TL:DR)
The top third of the image has rainbow block designs with words overlaid that read "Let Me Be Perfectly Queer". In the center and left side of the blocks a rainbow is falling out of the blocks as if it were being poured then appears to bend and widen as if it were flowing forward. The text *oh wait, I already am" is overlaid on the rainbow.

Last night I got to be in Mark Meer's D&D Improv at D&D in a Castle.
Meet JACK LYNNE. Halfling barbarian who didn't stop growing and is a Large token. Here I am in my traditional halfling garb with my greataxe, Pookie

The GM Tim on a spiral staircase into a DND style castle dungeon. He's wearing a shirt far too small for him and shorts with a very long sash. The look suggests his halfling sized clothes are far too small for such a tall halfling. He's holding a child's toy greataxe that also looks too small for him and the background is set to make him look taller than he already is.

It’s #Pride Anniversary today. Neutrality at #dnd and #ttrpg #gaming isn’t neutral, it’s erasure. #Queer Joy deserves active inclusion at every table.
Check out my new #blog post.
Read Part 1 today 🎲🏳️‍🌈. It's pretty #gay for the season 😄

ECCC was so much fun.
First Con in five years and the #dnd was great, the people ( #geeks ) were great, the #fun was had. Everything was just 😁. I'm going to need to learn how to Cosplay!

Fierce Adventures #dnd #dragshow made its illustrious return to the stage last night at @guiltandco.bsky.social in #Vancouver. The show was awesome, the audience was brilliant, and the staff were 🤌. Could not have asked for a better return.

In case there are any #gay #nerds who are single, or couples looking for a triad, or just guys not looking for any of that and think this is cute. Haha #dnd #valentine for the win

I got to do something wicked cool to start my year. I ran a private #dnd #game in Kuwait. It was incredible. The #food, the #gaming, the players.
Reach out if you want a #bespoke 3 day campaign built just for your group. ✨
