Got to run a fantastic #BrindlewoodBay session again tonight. But first I made them a newspaper clipping for their first murder solve from last session. These old ladies had a daring time tonight with some close calls but solved another murder! Love this game from @gauntletrpg.bsky.social

So, I spilled soda on my oversized plain black mat on my desk and had to clean it. I grabbed one of our other playmats as a temporary solution. I think perhaps the soda can wasn't cursed (there is a whole journey of mishaps) and it was just getting me a more appropriate backdrop for the month.

Had such an AMAZING time with a new group of Murder Mavens playing Brindlewood Bay last night. They solved the murder of author Herb L.L. Paxton in A Throng of Vice and Liars. So excited to start a new campaign and see the Midwives of the Fragrant Void unfold for them. #BrindlewoodBay #TTRPG

Been heads down making a two page spread for an idea for the @gamefound.bsky.social RPG party but wanted to share this little capy character concept I made with free assets to help show off my idea, and he’s just too cute.

I've been absolutely loving all the Artemis coverage. The fact that we can stream live from space is amazing. Of course, that mixes with my urge to play more games and I look at my section of space & sci-fi TTRPG books going which one should we play now? Anyone up for a one-shot? #ttrpg #space

Good ol’ Jerry “Blueblack” Smith. With his dual knives Blue and Black. He charged a giant crab, crit it, was knocked out by said crab, left behind by his crew while they got rich, then woke up later to start his own adventures. All in all… pure Pirate Borg goodness. #garycon #pirateborg #ttrpg

Had an absolute blast running my Borg games today. Both DUKK Borg and Pirate Borg went great. AND for Once I remembered to take a picture with my group at the end. Pirate Borg Island in the water park was awesome. But I do with they’d let us walk the plank! #garycon #pirateborg #dukkborg #ttrpg

Very excited that my physical books - and stickers - have shown up for Why We Fight from @sdrgames.bsky.social. I immediately jumped at this Kickstarter. I love that it is a zero prep and GMless gameplay. And what's not to love about being "eco-punks fighting fascism"? #TTRPG #tabletop #WhyWeFight

Did a draw from my new deck today focusing on the upcoming #PAXUnplugged. I find tarot nice to use it as a guide to interpret and guide my thoughts. Looking at meaning in the card and the illustration and applying it towards what I'm focusing on.

On top sit the Queen of Cups tarot card, at an angle. A female pirate sits upon a stone throne, with a golden goblet raised. She wears blue with a red clock draped over her shoulder, brown pants, and tall boots. The throne is surrounded by water.

Had a FANTASTIC #GaryCon. Ran two great #BladesInTheDark games, got to run the alpha version of Into the Maelstrom for #PirateBorg, attended some amazing seminars, and played the support class helping kids get between games and kept them fed. Also did my part supporting vendors. Another great year!

I got a new toy for Christmas that I'm excited to get to use. I realize I think part of the reason I love it is because I always wanted that "instant photo" as a kid but we could never afford one. But I'm the adult and I make the rules and now I have a fun retro camera. #polaroid #camera
