Reposted by Electric SheepM.R. Robinson @mruthrobinson.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I had so much fun chatting with @electricsheepsf.bsky.social this morning about a few of my stories… and also hope and rage and despair and the objective fact that Dragon Age 2 is the best Dragon Age. An honor and a joy to be invited. Kind of made me want to drop everything and write a short story 👀 193
