Today I learned that the Buffalo Bills are 0-1 lifetime against the Hamilton Tigercats. Maybe @octavianbgg.bsky.social or @shawnmerwin.bsky.social could let me know when the rematch is scheduled

Sunday night ran a great #Shadowdark adventure. Players traveled to the site, explored, solved puzzles, fought battles, and returned home with the treasure. Monday night ran #5e. We had a combat.

New #ttrpg idea: It's #Vaesen, but instead of 19th century Scandenavia, it's Lake Wobegon, MN in the 1990s. Someone get on that.

Ran into an old friend this past weekend, one I used to play D&D with all the time back in the 1980s. I told him about #Shadowdark and invited him to my #Schadengard campaign. He just texted me. "Thank you so much for telling me about this. It corrects everything about why I stopped playing D&D!"

If you're a #ttrpg fan in the northeast US or the matching part of Canada, I'll be running a suite of #shadowdark games at #MountainMania, May 1-4 2025. This is a small con in their second year, but it's already great and only going to get better. It's also a terrific con for open #boardgames

Bragging time! I commissioned a cartographer/artist at fantasymapshop.com to create a professional map for my #Shadowdark west-marches campaign #Schadengard and I'm super pleased with it. Check it out! And let me know if you'd be interested in joining our band of Crawlers! Always love new blood.

You can rest easy everyone! My granddaughter has a plan to defeat climate change.

Hey Canada, Maybe we need an Executive Order of our own to rename part of the map.

Attended a weather-shortened HBG-Con. Played Inspectres, a rules-light, heavily improv-heavy #ttrpg of paranormal investigations.

I don't know what it is about home improvement shows that seem to be so full of innuendo, but whatever guy Mary is watching right now is *really* into edging.

Saturday's game in #Schadengard. Ran the Kamber Isle section of the Plunderdome mini-campaign in Letters from the Dark vol. VI Scallywags. Lots of other #Shadowdark get the praise - and often with good reason - but for my money you can't beat the Letters from the Dark zines. Just as good or better.

Friday's #Shadowdark game in #Schadengard - ran a party through Lost Keep of the Savage Horde from Joker & Thief Publishing. The crawlers came up just short of their goal - forced to flee before getting to the treasure room. (1/2)
