I did a thing for the @onepagerpgjam.bsky.social! Here's Scout: a collaborative (this little corner of the) worldbuilder and useful as a supplement for tactical RPGs where engaging encounter maps matter. No map prepared? Play Scout to create a great one together! bardcrafts.itch.io/scout

I really enjoyed the audiobook of "The Children of Gods and Fighting Men" read by Aoife McMahon. And Travis Baldree reading his "Legends and Lattes" and "Bookshops and Bonedust" are great for lighthearted warm and fuzzies.

As the weather warms up, our neighbor's #cat visits more often. She came over for a business meeting today.

Ooh fun! How about: The Cynic (a la Daria) The Goth And are you picturing grunge for your Wannabe Rockstar? I'd also say that skate culture and punk culture could be their own sub groups

Bob Dylan during the recording of "We are the World" is me during any group activity.

Ray Charles joyously singing in a recording studio. Bob Dylan is next to them looking a bit uncomfortable and out of place.

That can be hard! Game stores/cafes, public libraries, and Meetup might be a good starting point to find a public in-person group. You could also check to see if there are any game conventions happening soon.

Ooh! I am an off and on musician (mostly off since undergrad), but you might check out Skoove and/or Piano Marvel for technique/theory. And I'm still amazed how frequently youtubing "song name" + "piano tutorial" gives amazing results for sheet music/song instruction

TFW you've sent out a headshot for not one, but two, awesome new projects you're working on and then you decide to chop off all your #hair. #pixiecut

Anyone playing #civolution? Got to play for the first time yesterday and I can't stop thinking about it! It was a friend's copy, otherwise I would be diving into a solo play today. So many options, but so cleverly constrained by the dice mechanic. Marvelous game, @spiele-feld.bsky.social!

Hiya folks! Settling in and looking to find my circles. Any recommended starter packs or advice on getting connected to #TTRPG, #fiberart, and #speculativefiction communities? Bonus cat pic included (likely my primary contribution here.)
