I’m not super actively trying to grow any of my accounts right at this moment, but I am happy/baffled that a reel of me drawing hexagons over and over has five times as many views as anything else I’ve put on there

RPG friends as long as you keep your twitter account nothing will happen elsewhere. X is designed to keep you trapped there, the gravity is just too strong to be able to really focus and rebuild elsewhere. Your other accounts will always remain an afterthought. Just sharing what worked for me.

I think I'm the only person at Breakout Con running Pathfinder 2e! Which is wild considering how many games are running, including lots of D&D AL, but no PFS either! I suppose I'll just think of it as me being able to run a very exclusive offering... 😅
