One of my favorite things I've done with this year's Pizzamas is find a way to reference some classic Nerdfighter memes in D&D form, but without just making them all combat encounters. This is "pumpkins and penguins." Yes, the whole game is this weird. pizzamas.com/collections/...
You warily take a step forward and find yourselves in a sunlit pumpkin patch. It is a warm sunny day, and in the distance you see rolling hills draped in their best autumn colours.
The pumpkins are pleasingly orange and the hundreds of chinstrap penguins waddling among them seem happy, even though this isn’t their usual Southern Pacific or Antarctic ocean habitat.
Above you, the Great Auk Who Lives in the Sky waves a massive flightless wing and rolls the D6 of celestial intervention.

DM NOTE: You can make a player roll for the Great Auk or do it yourself. There is no map for this area.

Auk roll results:
1. Auk! Auk auk! Auk auk auk! (Players choose 1 person to gain 10 temp HP)
2. Auk! Auk auk! (Players choose 1 person to heal 3D4 HP)
3. Auuuuuuuk! (Random player heals 1D12 HP)
4. (while whispering) Auk auk auk auk auk! (Random player heals 1D4 HP)
5. AUK! (Players choose 1 person to regain a spell slot)
6. Auk auk! (Random player gains inspiration)

We ran outside to see the eclipse. Took a picture to see the secret face my eyes couldn’t. “No dumbass, enjoy the moment.”

Every so often I buy an album I want and leave it at the moonbase for a while so everyone else can listen to it if they’re interested. This is because I’m extremely obnoxious.

We received many (MANY!) lovely gifts from fans (I’ll be posting a moonbase candy haul photo later this week) but there was one I got at our second meet and greet that almost made me cry, an omamori for my book, brought all the way from Japan. It’s on my bag so it can be near my laptop, thank you. 🖤

They had adorable plushy Niv Mizzet deck boxes at Magic Con and Penelope loves her baby Niv so much, and I have to say, the Izzet propaganda is extremely effective.

Friends at #mcamsterdam please help me find someone! The first person i played Dandân with today was a very nice Danish guy (whose name I have no idea how to spell 😅), we talked about books and you lent me a dry erase sign and I forgot to return it to you! I’m so sorry! I would like to return it!

I have not been around much because after over two years of working on it, I'm trying to put the finishing touches on my book. I keep saying it, but I'm actually close now! It's a sci-fi comedy romance about crushing fascism, and it has footnotes!
The busoki, (bu-so-key) or more commonly, the lover’s dance. Intimate and playful, but still simple enough that it could be performed no matter how distracted the participants became.

The cloak check is $2. She is currently taking a cloak from the person who came in before you. “One cloak, check!” She says officially, while taking no record of who the cloak belongs to.

The cloak check goblin is Ixmolla. She’s a Prismari student and her medium is fireworks. She’s taken this job because her graduate thesis is going to be very expensive. Nothing less than a four kiloton explosive yield will deliver what she considers to be a sufficient artistic statement.

"You need pinesmoke tea," Dina says knowingly. She walks to the kitchen and futzes with the stove. "The other dryads here keep insisting the twig crap is good for rebalancing, but they try and sneak in a pitch for their weird cult every time." Dina leans out the kitchen and winks. "You're not in a cult! At least you've got that going alright!"
