I had a lovely chat with the amazing @lilithttrpg.bsky.social the other day and it made me nostalgic for my time at Studio Hermitage. We did a lot of cool shit but I wish I had been able to do so much more. It felt like we were just getting started.

Here are the last 4 TTRPGs I played! Tomorrow I'll be playing a new one too. I need to get more games in! 🩸CAIN 🤘Mystic Punks 💥Cypher System (1e) 🐦‍⬛Crows (playtest) Honorable mention: Forgotten Waters, which is basically a mashup of a TTRPG and a boardgame.

Recently I saw a crowdfunding ad for a TTRPG based on Japanese folklore. Did a bit of digging and the whole development team is made up of white guys. 😴

I met so many great people at GAMA Expo. It was a wonderful experience but I'm also ready to be home. Thank you to everyone that took the time to chat with me and show off your games. 2026 is going to be another great year for all things tabletop!

Behold... My Stuff! This is the haul I brought back from #PAXUnplugged last weekend. We didn't have the luggage space for more (probably a good call). We got some really fun TTRPGs and boardgames I am looking forward to trying out, along with the @ourbrilliantruin.com graphic novel release!

Here is my #PAXUnplugged indie #ttrpg haul! I'm excited to finally have copies of Microscope and The Mystery Business in my physical library. I wish I could have grabbed more books, but luggage space was at a premium 🥲

Five books are in the middle of the image. From left to right, they are titled: Machine Impossible, Body Hammer, Mythomorphosis, Microscope, and The Mystery Business. The background of the image is dark purple and has a turquoise green tentacle reaching from each of both the bottom of the image and the top of the image towards the books.

#PAXUnplugged was amazing. I got to play three new TTRPGs (Orbital Blues, Dungeons and Kittens, and an early playtest game), played a lot of Commander, and got to catch up with old friends and make some new ones. Happy to be home but already excited for next year! ✨ More posts coming soon!

It's so difficult keeping up with all the social media apps, I totally forgot to make the exciting announcement here that I started my new role at Card Kingdom last week! My career journey has taken me through videogames, TTRPGs, and now Magic: The Gathering! What an amazing wild ride it's been.

Just ran the first session of Rapscallion from @magpiegames.bsky.social! I really love the meta-currencies the game offers. It's a bit crunchier than other PBTA games, but offers a lot of depth for players to interact with. A solid #ttrpg I'm excited to explore more!

#ttrpg friends! I'm planning on heading to PAXU again this year, last year was a blast. I'm currently interested in being part of any panels, if anyone is looking for extra folks. I've got experience in both videogame and TTRPG marketing, I've run convention games, and I have been on actual plays.

Saw #fantasticfour last night and it was great! The world building and art direction was top notch. The cast had great chemistry. The characters were written well, especially Johnny and Reed, having more nuance rather than the 'douchebag womanizer' and 'smart guy' cliches we've seen before.

Yesterday was my birthday! I wasn't really excited for it and procrastinated on deciding to celebrate it. But @shaucatcosplay.bsky.social has scheduled surprise hangouts and events all month long. It's been a great time because of the work she put in to make it special.

If you’re an artist of color, you need to keep making art. Especially if you’re also trans. Our world needs your voice. In the face of increasingly hostile and murderous systems, this is what we can do. This is what we have to do.

Superman was great. A little over-packed at times but the vibrancy of the world is a stark contrast to the old DCEU and feels like a comic book come to life. This movie has a good mix of James Gunn's weirdness, solid character writing, and commentary on modern events.

I'm convinced that Daggerheart is what @dimension20.bsky.social will be using for an upcoming season. It is a great system for the vibes of D&D but with a greater emphasis on storytelling, narrative freedom, and improvisation.

I've got so many thoughts on this, it's hard to put it into words. This is horrible. Companies buying up all these studios and then ruining employees livelihoods by laying them off is awful. Meanwhile, the people at the top continue to make too much money to care.

@acoupleofdrakes.bsky.social make some of the most streamlined TTRPGs. I really love how both Disaster/WING and Disaster/PEACE boil FITD down to the bare minimum while still incorporating genre tropes.

New #ttrpg day! Excited to explore these books to expand on Monster of the Week content. I've only played once but I had a blast and can't wait to get it to the table again. Shout-out to @evilhat.bsky.social for continuing to support the game after all these years!

Two books on a green table. One has a cover with the text 'Monster of the Week Slayers Survival Guide' and had a person in a gray jumpsuit holding a gun. The other book has the title 'Monster of the Week Hunters Journal' and features art of a variety of characters in a collage format.
