I guess tonight is a night where every sweet thing is going to make me cry. I guess I needed to cry and my brain knew it even though I didn’t

I don’t like taking pictures of myself, but Teddy was being especially cuddly today!

It is here! The slipcase looks amazing and is exactly my style with it highlighting the symbols and not overly designed! The dice are great and I will probably keep them as pristine as i can! #mistborn #ttrpg #cosmere

Do you prefer a more structured version of spell casting with specific spells or a magic system like Cosmere where you develop a skill and more so improvisational? #dnd #cosmere

Just more evidence that men’s futures are more important than women’s safety in this country. The least that should happen to them is life in prison.

Had a really good session of the CosmereRPG today. Not a single combat, just chatting, and lore building. Something I really needed today and I am one step closer to swearing my second ideal! #ttrpg #cosmere

Tabletop Optimist @tabletopoptimist.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Tomorrow I get to play more of the #CosmereRPG and I am so excited! Hopefully I can fill in another bubble getting closer to swearing my second ideal! #ttrpg #cosmere

Finally had enough energy to mow the lawn and it felt great. I am more tired than I normally would be after, but at least I have energy now!

I’m at the point of the post-sick where my voice is completely fucked from coughing. And the first thing I ask my GM is if we play this weekend if a character can punch my character in the throat to explain the hoarseness. lol #cosmererpg #ttrpg

Tabletop Optimist @tabletopoptimist.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Just submitted my first template for Startplaying. Gonna be running a few introductory one shots for the #CosmereRPG based on The First Step module. Excited! 😆 #ttrpg

I will always believe anyone can be an amazing DM/GM. I can never be convinced otherwise. #ttrpg #dnd

Got a new short uploading tomorrow covering Daggerhearts Faerie Ancestry. This ancestry is a lot of fun and probably a lot stronger than people realize! #daggerheart #ttrpg

Is Steams policy on games requiring to mention they use Generative AI pretty solid? I am seeing some games that look like they do use it, but there isn’t any mention. I’m assuming it’s one of those they can’t catch everyone situation.

Also while at my FLGS I picked up these two books! I have heard so many amazing things about Draw Steel I knew I had to check them out. #mcdm #ttrpg #drawsteel

My wife left this morning for a weekend trip with her mom and I am happy they get some alone time, but I’ll be lying if it didn’t make me lonely and missing her. I am so lucky to have someone in my life to miss and someone I genuinely love being around.

7.5 hours of #CosmereRPG today and it is something I really needed. Had so much fun in Shadesmar and it was stressful the entire time! #ttrpg

Tabletop Optimist @tabletopoptimist.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Saw Shards of Creation at my FLGS and might have to get it next time we can’t get the full table together. Never really played a ton of card games, but my wife loves them and I am always excited to try a new game.

Tabletop Optimist @tabletopoptimist.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Playing a session of the CosmereRPG tomorrow and we are in Shadesmar. My GM is excited so I am excited! I don’t know anything about it because I haven’t got to that part in the books yet and that works amazing for my 0 intellect warrior! #ttrpg #cosmererpg

Raise your hand if there was ever a moment during the creative process that you said to yourself, “maybe I should stop, this is stupid and nobody will like it” I want people to see that many people felt that way, but kept going.

Your world deserves to be created, your story deserves to be told, you are more creative and clever than you give yourself credit for.

You don’t have to memorize the rule book to be a good GM/DM. You just have to stay one chapter ahead of your players. #ttrpg #dnd

Tabletop Optimist @tabletopoptimist.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Let yourself be excited for things. Being excited doesn’t make you a shill.

I have had 2 people comment on some of my CosmereRPG videos in the last 12 hours who were surprised that the game existed while being fans of the cosmere books and TTRPG fans. Makes me so happy that a simple meme video made them so excited to find out about it! #cosmererpg

I am genuinely so happy I made a weird little breath noise when I saw it. I got more work to do, but getting my first college level diploma means so much to me!

I saw a post years ago that said, “whenever you feel sad for no known reason, you are just mourning someone who had nobody to mourn them” and whenever I feel that specific kind of sadness (like tonight) it makes me feel a little bit better.

Happy Friday! I hope you can play your favorite TTRPG or one you are excited for this weekend. #ttrpg

I know I need to focus on my first adventure for my setting, but I just had a really cool idea for a second adventure and I can't stop thinking about it. This adventure would be more in flavor of "Shadow of the Colossus." #ttrpg #plotweaver

Something I always say when a small amount of damage is done to an enemy is “every little bit helps.” I need to remember this phrase whenever I don’t accomplish as much as I wanted too!

Tabletop Optimist @tabletopoptimist.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Back at work and I hate it, lol. I just want to spend all day writing about TTRPGs and working on my setting book! #ttrpg #plotweaver

Watching Brand New Day and Into the Spider-Verse really reminds me why Spider-Man is my favorite superhero.

Got 2 hours of yard work done! Now onto some other fun stuff like working on a couple shorts covering Daggerheart ancestries and making your players feel powerful and my plotweaver setting for the competition! #ttrpg #daggerheart #plotweaver

I actually got to use this line in a recent moment in my cosmere home game. lol "If that's a joke, I love it. If not, I cannot wait to unpack that with ya."

This just absolutely sucks. Dolly has done so much for the world and will be missed greatly by millions.

Got an A in my humanities as well. This was my last quarter needed and I should be getting my associates soon!

Tabletop Optimist @tabletopoptimist.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Got an A in my philosophy class and I’ll admit this was one of the hardest classes for me coming back to school. I think I would have done better (even though I did get an A) if I was in more of an in person class setting so we could learn the material and discuss what it means.

Tabletop Optimist @tabletopoptimist.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Gonna be looking at Explorers Guide to Wildemount, Eberron, and the Cosmere World Guide to get an idea of how to write a setting book. What setting book do you love that is equal parts fun and well made? #dnd #ttrpg

Tabletop Optimist @tabletopoptimist.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

My next video is covering the major differences between the CosmereRPG and D&D. A video I have been wanting to make for a while, but wanted to learn more. Both absolutely amazing games and ones that I love so much! #cosmererpg #ttrpg #dnd

Tabletop Optimist @tabletopoptimist.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

If you are interested in learning #Plotweaver and/or #CosmereRPG keep an eye on the page. I’ll be running some free games on Startplaying throughout the rest of the year! I’ll be posting them after creating the session. Now I just need to learn Startplaying. lol

What to do on week off! 1. Figure out how to produce an AP. 2. Make sense of the random notes I have made on my setting over the last 3 years. 3. Officially make “From Level 1 to Now” new format. 4. Make list of videos I want to make

Godzilla Minus One was very good! Hate that I took this long to watch it, but I am glad I did because I can write about it for my final essay in Humanities.

No video this week since it is the last week of school for me for a bit! Next week I will be hitting the ground running when it comes to making videos and more!
