Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Last week we exacerbated the problem, by letting him ride the tractor with his Granda over in N. Ireland. 100
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 10/11/2025I think it works, if nothing else because it gives you lots of great iconography to work with? 010
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 16/10/2025I thought I was ordering a translation, but I should have checked more carefully. So now I get to fumble through 15th century #Scots poetry. I’m having a great time, it’s just slow going, and I need to read everything aloud in the accent of an old man from Fife The Wallace by Blind Harry #scotland 020
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 19/09/2025Total time from getting my dual British Citizenship to getting instagram ads asking me to renounce my US citizenship: 3 days #expat 020
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 16/09/2025Official first pint in a pub. I think I should start arguing about football* or something? (*soccer) 020
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 16/09/2025Officially a British citizen. The pledge to a king was pretty weird, but I managed to control my inner-American long enough. Now time to drink tea, wear a kilt, and complain about the French! 🏴🇬🇧🏴 #scotland #British #citizen #immigrant 160
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 18/08/2025If he doesn’t fix this with Daggerheart, we’ll know he’s truly lost… (Side note: the art for the ‘fling ally’ feat in 3.5 is still one of my favorite art pieces from all of D&D) 020
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 18/08/202512 years ago today I was apparently at GenCon with @tomlommel.com playing Worlds Worst Dungeon Crawl. I had a blast playing the game; but was so jet lagged I was almost hallucinating, surviving on a diet of sugar and caffeine; then collapsed with ConCrud as soon as I got back to Scotland. #ttrpg 2191
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 01/08/2025Well, it’s officially happening. Gotta go swear allegiance to the king. 🏴🇬🇧🏴 #ukcitizenship 031
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 26/07/2025Honestly, this also sounds like the best D&D party ever. #ttrpg 130
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 26/07/2025In case you were wondering how I do my world building for #dnd 381
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 20/07/2025Spent last night building more of the Rivendell #LotR #Lego set. It’s significantly more complicated than we expected, and I think we’re only halfway done! But I appreciate that they put dumb LotR references in the instructions. I’m annoying my wife by having Gimli kissing a random elf on the bridge 020
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 14/06/2025Me, trying to figure out how to voice my support for the “No Kings” rallies in the US while simultaneously knowing I have to swear allegiance to King Charles in my UK citizenship ceremony later this year. 270
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 23/05/2025My son decided to sleep in this morning, so I was 30 minutes late getting my cat breakfast. I guess she interpreted this as “I’ve been abandoned and will never be fed; I must fend for myself,” so when I opened the door she ran in and deposited a dead headless mouse under the table. 110
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 14/05/2025Took a day off work last week to go down to Culross with the family. Because what’s the point in living in Scotland if you don’t go see ruined abbeys? 140
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 18/01/2025We spent the afternoon wandering through a state park, looking at alligators. I have never kept such a close eye on all children and pets. 030
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 25/12/2024Baby’s first Christmas in the Green house. I don’t care much about matching pajamas, but tiny Rudolph socks are 👌 170
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 14/12/2024My sister-in-law’s cat refuses to accept that she has been banished. 040
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 27/11/2024I don’t understand how he sleeps with his neck like this, but I’m not going to wake him up to ask. Knitted hat courtesy of a kind old lady in Northern Ireland. 040
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 05/11/2024Living overseas during the election is this feeling, constantly: 080
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 17/10/2024Sent off my absentee ballot. I’m still considered Texas based, so I doubt it will make a difference. But I cling to the hope of seeing both Cruz and Trump out of power… This also means I can mute election related content for the next month without guilt; which is the real victory here. 150
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 20/09/2024I have resisted for 15 years. But I'm finally breaking down and going to the dark side. I assume the next month will be me swearing at my phone because I can't figure out how to do anything. 110
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 13/09/2024Re: your second choice - this was my group's firm opinion when we tried Shadowrun 140
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 02/09/2024I'm hardly the first one to say this, but the #NaNoWriMo organization (y'know, the one that is about people writing and being creative?) becoming an AI shill is absolutely mind-blowing. Saying that everyone opposed to #AI is ableist & classest is such a desperate hijacking of progressive terms. 110
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 23/08/2024Got up early this morning to write, ended up snuggling a tiny man instead. 130
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 19/08/2024This was my exact same reaction. Some of the openings they said were the worst, I genuinely loved. 170
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 27/07/2024Trying to learn how to work on my laptop and be a dad. It's... trickier than expected. 230
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 12/07/2024In the play test for all half races (elves, orcs, etc); the official advice was "choose X from one parent's culture, Y from another's; your choice." Since stat bonuses are now based on background instead of race/species, there is less impact. 110
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 25/06/2024My wife is 38 weeks pregnant. In anticipation of the child I'll spend the next 29 years trying not to screw up, here are my favorite photos that we had taken recently: 150
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 01/06/2024So I definitely read this as "Boy Kills World" being the name of the Jim Henson documentary. Which felt like an odd choice, but I was intrigued at how Kermit had pulled it off. 020
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 24/05/2024Was reading about Google's new fiber optic cable connecting Australia & Africa; and I have to assume Buster Bluth did the map. 010
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 17/05/2024We've finally cleaned up the back garden/yard enough that our cat has decided it is worthy of her presence. 110
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 12/05/2024Had to ask Naomi if she wants to celebrate British mother's Day or American mother's Day next year. She doesn't love to be reminded that our baby will be half-American, so opted to stick with the UK option. 110
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 22/04/2024Finale went well! It was touch and go, but they all survived and finally got to see a sunrise over Barovia. #dnd #ttrpg #CoS #Strahd 010
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 21/04/2024Ending Sunday evening with more progress on our #Lego world map. If you'd like a barometer, this so far has taken us the #LotR extended editions up through disc 1 of RotK. 030
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 18/04/2024We have started receiving baby clothes from family and friends, and while I don't understand why a newborn needs shoes, I can make an exception when they're tiny dinosaur booties. 170
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 23/03/2024Got home from grocery shopping, and my wife's key snapped in the lock. This resulted in me breaking into the house via the upstairs window that only opens 10 inches, so I had to crawl through like a lizard. Took the lock apart and managed to fix it eventually without needing to call a locksmith. 040
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 20/03/2024Just checking: do we all immediately think of Tobias Fünke after hearing the words "Fire Sale" or is it just me? thehill.com/regulation/c... 000
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 05/03/2024Was sent this picture of the #Texas Panhandle fires near my old hometown. Very neat to see how effective the preventative controlled burn a few months ago was at saving the town (pop 14,000). 030
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 19/02/2024I still use a leather notebook from Gametee for my physical prep notes! #dnd #ttrpg 171
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 15/02/2024Missed my train earlier because I stopped to pet a street cat. I stand by my decision. 020
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 13/02/2024I really love @gshowitt.bsky.social 's Spire RPG. Some folks were hesitant, so I convinced them to try it by reskinning the city as Coruscant and running the entire thing as an elaborate heist with the PCs as members of the Rebellion instead of drow. We had a lot of fun. #ttrpg #Spire #Starwars 151
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 13/02/2024A few weeks ago in my #WbtW #DnD game, my players met a small campestri named "Scrumptious," and I provided them with the 1st art piece. They decided that they would adopt it and make it their familiar, and apparently one of my players decided he should be knitted. 171
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 10/02/2024I cannot express how jealous I am of the person who got to write this: "'Best Picture' winners ranked by how good the Muppet version would be:" hard-drive.net/hd/entertain... #muppets #oscars 010
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 08/01/2024The best secret Santa gift I ever received (and one of the best gifts period) was this art print that is so accurately within my nerdy venn diagram overlap area it is shocking. #LotR #Mario 251
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 30/12/2023For years, my wife and I have talked about getting a good map so we could start marking everywhere we've gotten to travel. We also have found a lot of joy building Lego together. So for Christmas, I decided to kill two birds with one stone. But 11.6k pieces? This may be overkill... 160
Jon Green @jonmgreen.bsky.social · 30/11/2023Finally done with #NaNoWriMo. I'm not sure how I managed to align this with my busiest month of the year, but I really want a nap now. #writing 070
