Vegan AF is the best restaurant in Brattleboro VT. They are down to only four days/week so they're a bit more challenging to visit, but if you are for some reason in Brattleboro you should come to Vegan AF. Doesn't matter if you're not vegan, they're just a great restaurant.

So - I'm doing a big thing: planning to move across the country into a safer situation that stands to improve my health and financial wellbeing. Moving is, of course, expensive. I'm trying to raise money for three things: keeping myself safe in the lead up, the move, and starting over.

I made a trilogy of horror solo journaling games. The final game is Sample. It’s about a DJ who meets a tragic end and it’s set during Y2K right before the ball drops. Players create their own music and choose melodies to determine the outcome. Follow here before we launch: tinyurl.com/2af9nnte

On Monday, I went on my friend Derik's youtube channel to help him plan and lock down some details on a Fabula Ultima bestiary we're making. Practically, this means I yelled at him for 5 1/2 hours, and we'll be back at it again next Monday if I can interest you in watching me bully him some more.

We used to have this vegan burger restaurant, Boon Burger, in Winnipeg. They were special bc they weren't trying to replicate a cheeseburger and falling short, they made burgers with chickpea or black bean patties that had flavour profiles appropriate to the ingredients they were using. Really good.
Photo of the exterior of a small restaurant, "Boon Burger." The exterior is painted black and a handful of green patio tables and chairs are lined in front of the storefront's windows.

GenCon is in less than a week so I haven't committed yet to writing a new school or thesis for Shaz, but here's how the conversion turned out
A PF2 character in stat block format. It is a landscape image, screenshotted out of Affinity Publisher, so blue outlines are visible around the text. The stat block is for a 9th level School of Gates wizard with the acrobat, magical trickster, and rogue archetypes. At the center of sheet is an illustration of the character by jess, an air genasi with green hair and navy skin holding a dagger. She is dressed in shiny black pants, red knee-high boots, a black top, and white cold shoulder sleeves.

We should all be extremely suspicious of anyone assuming stances that are pro-tech or pro-AI but also anti-"screens". "Screentime" as the term we've adopted for discussing problematic phone or computer use, or children access to tech, makes us vulnerable to wearables pretending they solve something.

Guess what, folks? After a long, blessed spring/summer lull, COVID-19 is picking up again in Indianapolis (and elsewhere), just in time for #GenCon. The ventilation at ICCLOS is NOT adequate to handle Gen Con's crowds. Do yourself and others a favor: use azelastine and MASK UP.

Been thinking lately about how TTRPG adventure fantasy looks and feels different if we were to use black music and art for clear aesthetic and influence with representation. Before we start: you there, the one who is going to shove a bunch of references or ppl in my face! Don't do that.

Okay, I finished off PF2 Shaz's build and spells last night. She is a wizard (School of Gates) with the Spell Trickster, Rogue, and Acrobat archetypes, loaded up with spells that primarily target AC so she can use rogue tumble behind to make enemies off-guard against her spells.
