I've been rewatching ever episode of The Amazing World of Gumball (possibly for the 4th or 5th time). As good as some of the episodes are that follow it (and that it does tie to the last episode), S6E34 The Future should have been the last episode. That ending is so good.

I'm sure my students (i teach adults guitar) think I'm crazy, but sometimes i nearly jump out of my seat when they nail something that was challenging for them. I get so freaking happy and excited for them! My last lesson ended an hour ago and I'm *still* pumped. #guitarteacher #guitarlessons

The players had fun but I think the game was dwarfed by the spread I put out. Did my best to imitate the way my mom entertains - plenty of variety, way too much food, and make sure it goes home with people. #justlikemama 2/2

Goblurfs? Smurflins? Sometimes I crack myself up.
Might use them for Sword Weirdos. Might use them for Basic Fantasy RPG.

According to no less a source than a random email I received - today is International Mouthpiece Day. So, to all who celebrate I hope you have a good one.

My 90-day supply of Sertraline went down from $12 to $6. Unexpected. Welcome, but unexpected.

Coworkers were talking about the Village People this morning - queue vivid flashback to trading Village People trading cards with friends in Kindergarten (along with KISS cards).

Spent part of my day talking to my best friend about their D&D game, spent another part talking to a coworker about D&D game. Now I'm going into the weekend and ... not gaming until next weekend 😭

The hard part for me of breaking away from Prime (Fuck Amazon!) is relearning how to wait. As a kid, 4-6 weeks for delivery was common, but at some point 3 days become an inconceivable annoyance even for non-essentials. I have to remind myself that I don't NEED my new distortion pedal that badly.

I'm tempted by OSRIC 3.0, but it's been 10 years or so (what? how is that possible?) since I went in on OSR crowdfunding stuff - and I've kept none of it. So, I'm doing my best to remind myself of that and not jump on it. Still . . .

I'm not an artist by any stretch, but I made a "graphical user interface" (looks like a map, but no scale or even relative distance) for players to choose which adventure they want to go on (episodic campaign and trying to replicate the player agency of a sandbox hex crawl). #osr #bfrpg (1/2) :

Session 0 confirmed my preference for the 4 core classes and races. It took over 2 hours for people to decide between all of the options available. (I'm running Basic Fantasy RPG www.basicfantasy.org with just about all of the race and class options, to satisfy the 5e desires of my players).

Friday afternoons I play the will-they-or-won't-they game: I have a student who schedules a lesson almost every Friday evening and about half of the time, they need to reschedule last minute for Sunday. In my studio, that's fine (I teach adults, life happens). I just find it amusing. #guitarteacher

Trying to help some (well 1) of my players understand that B/X / BFRPG is not about heroes being heroic but about nobodies trying to become somebodies with this guideline: "If your backstory is longer than a sentence or two, you're too attached to your character."

My son(13) who, like me, prefers b/x to 5e observed that my plan to use the Black Pudding zine classes for our group's upcoming campaign risks slowing down combat to 5e speeds (at least in our group, 5e combat drags) because some classes have a lot of options. Damn. He may be right. 1/2
