Now that there's pinned posts, I can migrate over my thread of published works for ease of reference.
Here's my debut, STEADY AND THE MOUNTAIN. 3500-ish words of mythic swords and sorcery. How do you turn back the end? t.co/xXmtxlOWTM

Several months of adventuring in the Dolmenwood(using Fantasy AGE 2e as our rules system) has led to a battle for the town of Prigwort, using FAGE's Mass Battle system. Very excited to see how things go and if my players can manage to save it from destruction.

Happy S2 finale to @sunlessreach.bsky.social I decided to commission my dear @wallabri.bsky.social for the Delta Crew wearing silly novelty sunglasses after a discussion @jadeoxfordrose.bsky.social and I had. They need to prep for when the sun comes back, after all!

Been writing a game for the last while which ISN'T Shirtless On A Rooftop, but a different thing which I will affectionately call a Cyberpunk Gearslop Crunchcore game because you cannot stop me.

Listening to the Phoenix on the Sword on audiobook and it strikes me how instantly likable and interesting King Conan is from the very jump. Real "Dudes Rock" kinda guy. Howard really had him locked down day one.

Fantastic ep, same magic of "showing up somewhere and shit goes wild" that made Neoscum such a dynamic and exhilarating listen. Get his ass! Down with the Mountain King!

Update on the PEG Inc #SWADE situation. The TL;DR: "Sorry you're upset, someone explained to me why you're upset, I will now take five from social media."
So, yeah. Non-apology apology.

Tried to tell myself over the years that Hensley was mostly good-hearted and well-meaning but tonedeaf and old-fashioned, but this is pretty undeniable. Been a big SWADE fan for years, but that's the end of that.
Well I never did get around to running my 2000ad anthology campaign with Savage Worlds. Now I guess I‘ll find something else to run it with.

His Majesty The Worm is the best RPG because it's the only one that lets me bluff using my unbeatable poker technique of loudly proclaiming "WOW, THESE ARE GOOD CARDS!"

I know what you’re thinking: “Apricus in weird situations with old university cohorts? She’s going to make a dark academia joke”. No, of course not, that’s not the joke. Apricus considering letting himself get killed then resurrected for the sake of an experiment, though--🤔 #pathfinder2e #actualplay

Two weeks later and finally got my other shelf put together. This is a little more eclectic, except for the Pathfinder Hyperfocus Zone and the Discworld shelf.

Had to move my bookshelves recently due to exterminators coming in, so I had a chance to re-shuffle some of my game books when I put them back

So excited for my Pathfinder character getting her ass kicked and losing everything that I had to draw her some new time-skip art!
