Since I was a teen, I've wanted to write an adventure set in a Dwarven kingdom - one that I could maybe expand upon. Well, I finally got my chance and it is dark, creepy, and explains the true origin of Mithril. I had an absolute blast writing it and now, crowdfunding has launched for it!!!

I'm going to be transparent here. I love this book. @ceronomus.bsky.social did an amazing job. The mines of Grungin are creepy. The encounters are original. The big reveal is genuinely surprising. It's one of the best DCC adventures I've ever read. Love it. Love it. Love it. We launch in 1 week.

Remember folks, Medicare for all is estimated to carry a ten year cost of $32-$40 trillion dollars. The ten year cost of insurance subsidies paid by the US government? $33.6 trillion. Want to know why we don't have universal healthcare? Because they can literally pay our government to not pass it.

Okay, this is getting a bit crazy. Backed a $12 adventure. Shipping? Another $12 with "first class and tracking". So, where is the other $7.50 in shipping costs going? Shipping is expensive, but no, it isn't $12 for 8 oz... When I see things like this, I know to not back anything further.

A lovely day. Found something special for a YouTuber that we enjoy and managed to get it to them. Nice to return a little joy to the world. Even got a surprise shout out (No link, because it isn’t about that). It is just about feeling good and having a positive impact. #bringjoyintotheworld

I had a rough end to the year, an even harder beginning to this one. But finally, the words are flowing again. I'm WAY behind where I've like to be - but I'm getting back on track. I owe about 70k words. I'm going to try to bang all of that out next week... because #WriterGoals

In brighter news, Ashraf has his visa interview on Tuesday. I know that, being from Uganda, the deck is stacked against him right now, but keep him in your thoughts ehh? He earned this Gen Con trip and he really looks forward to meeting the DCC community.

It has been a rough (almost) two weeks since saying goodbye to Vance. I'm getting better at dealing with people again but the latest episode of NCIS really didn't help (IYKYK). We keep moving forward, as we must. Still, his urn should arrive soon, and then it all tears open afresh.

Since early Nov, we've struggled with Vance's health. From battling a stubborn sinus infection, to discovering that there was a viral infection, but also a cancerous tumor in his sinuses, it has eaten my every waking hour - vet visits, medications, feedings... Now, our dear little Vance is gone.

Vance is having a bad chemo day today, nauseated and not eating. Thankfully, I learned that normal pharmacies can fill scrips for cats.

Worth spreading the word, the people (and products) at Kitty-up are fantastic! The Vitality sticks are one of the few things Vance gets excited about. We have a subscription for them, they help us get him extra calories, fight off viral infections, and bring him joy.

You really want to get Sickle & Torch. I know, the idea of extending 0-level play sounds crazy but, in this case? It really works! Plus, there area great rules for setting up encounters and other great ideas. You cannot afford to miss out.

Mihailo over at @loreplaypress.bsky.social just launched crowdfunding for Sickle & Torch. I've read through the core book and it is filled with great ideas on how to expand on 0-level play, extending it past a single funnel while making it fun and survivable! Of course I pledges. I rate it an A+

In other news, you know that popping-screeching that scotch tape makes? Essentially, it is a string of tiny little sonic "booms". That certainly was not on my science bingo card, nor was the fact that pulling the tape in a vacuum can generate x-rays. arstechnica.com/science/2026...

Micro-cracks travel along the peeling tape at supersonic speeds, producing shock waves and sound pulses.

Good morning Blue Sky. Despite everything, I am indeed feeling pretty good this morning. Vance is snoring away, I got a decent night's sleep for the 1st time since I don't know when, and I enjoyed my last Aussie Lemonade (a gift from friends in the UK). Life might not be great, but I'll take good.

Vance is snug in his new spot in my office (a spare chair near my desk) and I think, for the first time in a while, my mind is calmed enough that I can sit and write for a while. This is a good thing. Of course, there are many things to write - so I need to get to it.

Yeah, Vance’s cancer diagnosis has really pummeled my spirit. The fact that he now rarely wants to leave my side when Jen is away leaves me wanting to hold him forever, forsaking all things. I just want him to feel safe and loved.

It is confirmed, Vance has been diagnosed with Nasopharyngeal lymphoma. Waiting to hear from the compounding pharmacy so that we can start a round of oral chemotherapy. Poor little guy just wants to enjoy sunbeams and be loved… Please don’t bombard Jen with questions.

Hey Blue Sky, not having a great day. Still waiting for Vance's biopsy results and I'm fairly certain that they will be positive. That will give a sense of finality to the countdown of how long we have left with him and, damn, I'm just not ready.
