Through the power of research, and the power of phone-a-friend when research failed me, I have made an attempt. ...and partway through, chaos gremlin energy infiltrated said attempt. Which fits with the vibe of the sheet, so I'll take it.
An attempt at Sam's RPG Designer Theoryslop sheet, with "I used Paint to do this chaos :)" written in the multi-polar traits instead of any attempt at properly visualizing them. Fittingly, the Illustration skill is a -1.

Debated between Stayed A While and Visited for Colorado, since I was there for a week with family as a kid.
A map of the United States. Most states are marked as “Never been”. Georgia, Tennessee, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Vermont, and New Hampshire are marked “Passed through”. Colorado, Pennsylvania, District of Columbia, and Maine are marked “Visited”. Michigan, Illinois, Kentucky, Florida, Virginia, New Jersey, and New York are marked “Stayed a while”. Indiana and Ohio are marked “Lived there”.

This clearly is an insufficient quantity for a four-person household. We need more books. (I love @libib.com so much)

7 TTRPG oneshots of GMing later… that’s a wrap on Gen Con 2026! Had a great time working with Lurking Fears, and got to spend time with many wonderful people (way too many to tag.)

One game of Paranoia (Mandatory Fun) down, four to go! I love running this system. Picture from last night - still to come is Thurs 8 pm, Fri 10 AM, Sat 10 AM, and Sat 8 PM :) The Computer is your friend. Welcome to Year 214. @mongoosepublishing.bsky.social @lurkingfears.bsky.social

Important update from Origins: dice obtained, and I got to tell @hecticelectron.bsky.social in-person that Defy the Gods is wonderful :)
Four six-sided plastic dice. Two resemble terra cotta with black Cuneiform numbers. The other four are a a sparkly blue/purple with golden spiderwebbing numbers.

This is totally a normal setup and definitely not me being paranoid about inviting bad luck onto my death save d20. (Dice blessing’s from @thegeekpreacher.bsky.social and timeout chair‘s a freebie from the @lorelink.com Origins booth, Lawful Good pin’s from Dbl Feature, healing potion was a gift.)
A 20-sided die rests upon a 3D printed Time Out chair. The visible faces of the die are two white skulls, two red hearts, and a golden potion. In front of the chair is a green Lawful Good pin, and a green mushroom is attached to the back of the chair with a wire.
There is a dice blessing to the right of the chair. Left of the chair is a glass bottle half filled with red resin, the other half filled with red 4-sided dice, that is labeled “Healing Potion For What Ails Ye” with a heart.

I mostly keep my professional achievements contained to LinkedIn instead of Bluesky… but I’m very proud of this, so it goes here too. OLC requirements for initial certification are an ALA-accredited masters degree + 2 years at an Ohio public library.

And this is how I keep everything organized - character sheets, handouts, all of it goes in here organized by system.

Unpacked a bit last night after getting home from Origins, and when getting ready for work this morning I realized I put the Paranoia GM screen I got from @studio2publishing.bsky.social beside my copy of 1984, along with the rest of my Paranoia books. This is fine. @mongoosepublishing.bsky.social
A disorganized pile of books and craft supplies. On top of the pile is a copy of George Orwell’s 1984 and a Paranoia Gamemaster’s Screen.

8. Garbage and Glory: Trashrun I picked this one up at Origins 2024 as part of Free RPG Day and I’m excited to try it! @wetinkgames.bsky.social staff were super friendly at the con and suggested this to me when I mentioned that I keep meaning to plan Heckin Good Doggos.

Post a picture of yourself to show the newbies what they’re dealing with. Hi, I’m a nerdy librarian! I used to attend Gen Con regularly, now I’m focusing on Origins. Picture is from the Ohio Renaissance Fair.
