I had an amazing weekend, as always at Quest Con Orlando this year. Ran some familiar games (Pirate Borg & DUKK Borg), some new variations (Blades '68), & something new for me (Regency Cthulhu). All was amazing w/ awesome players. Got to see lots of friends we don't see too often and meet new ones.

If I can find my copy of Pride & Prejudice & Zombies… I suppose that can count as research for Regency Cthulhu, right? #cthulhu #regencycthulhu #ttrpg #janeausten

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.

Not yet. I’ve done a lot of Blades in the Dark, and since it is Forged in the Dark it is high on my list to play. And it feels like a really good take on it and a lot of fun though.

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

Local game stores are a great place to go for off-line holiday shopping, plus many of them are community gaming hubs and stock games from indie creators! Shopping at your FLGS usually helps a few small businesses (the game store + any creators who have works there)!

Remember to check out your local game stores!

The queen of clubs to me is reminding me to have compassion and caring, as myself, family or others I see may have stress in traveling or the con. It is reminding me in my new endeavours to trust my gut, which is good because I'm hoping to do more in video content with creators and games we see.
