game design is when you open up a document you haven't touched in a while like "oooh what's in here?" and it's just this

Plaintext list of items reading: violent past, trouble with the law, impoverished, ignorant, shameful connections, addiction, estranged, tedium, secret affair.

CRESCENT 2e and EXILE arrived a few weeks ago and I finally cracked em open to read at the park on the first warm spring day in Toronto. @ema-acosta.com is brilliant and has written the best GM section I have read in ages (moon guidance💛). I will be sharing with librarians & library kids alike :]

sorry bluesky, I almost forgot to tell you about today's foolish & fanciful game night at the Epochal Imp in Toronto! 😁 couldn't find the time this week to prep A Fool's Errand, but The Wolf King's Son and Rusalka are both on theme and very tricksy indeed... the next edition will be on April 15th!

last weeks JUNIOR GRAPHIC NOVEL CLUB at the library💟 we read the delightful Dungeon Club by @mollyostertag.bsky.social & @xanthe.bsky.social and talked about school clubs, gender play, and our real life stats. then we made Quest characters and everyone went home with a quickstart zine and a d20😁🥲💖

a table spread featuring printouts for a roleplaying game called Quest, copies of dungeon club: roll call and dungeon club: time to party, and the colorful flyer for the May edition of junior graphic novel club!

there are two leftover d20s in a lacy pink bag, and an unpainted tiefling warlock miniature that was 3D printed at the big library downtown by another staff member who loves D&D❤️
