My dnd group takes turns running 3 session arcs. I’m about to start on Sunday and I’m stuck. I’ll take any and all ideas.

I’m relistening to TAZ: Balance and I’m not sure what it is, but it is making me super emotional.

I’m not sure how I feel about this. Why did I draw his mouth open!?

If you see this, post a horse 🐴 #pokemon This is the first time I’ve ever been able to do this. I’m new at art be nice.

I just wanna play all these cool games people are making but instead my group just wants to keep playing 5e.

Every few months I get a reminder just how much I love Pokemon. I sat and watched the Presents this morning with my kids and it was a lot of fun to see them getting hyped about everything and spinning theories.

I need a nemesis. It could be a neighbor, coworker, or something, but I don’t have enough spite going out.

I don’t do art, but last night I finally broke out the watercolors I got last week (after 3 weeks of hemming and hawing). Just winged it for 2 hours, woke up at 5:30 and did it for another 2 hours. So I guess I do art now.

Oh shit. It’s Tiger Army time.

I’m super late to the game, am only a few episodes into season 1, but hot damn, Severance is incredible. We watched two episodes before bed (a mistake) and I haven’t stopped thinking about it I begrudgingly turned the tv off.

Is there a corner of BlueSky for folk punk?

Fuck, X-Files is so good.

Whatever happened to those drones/aliens?

Fuck. I just found out you have to actually DO things if you want to be good at them. I’ve just been studying and understanding things from a high level and moving onto the next thing.

I deleted Bluesky because I was falling back into doom scroll habits I don’t like/won’t survive another 4 years of. Thankfully I found Dead Cells because that game whips ass. Now I’m going to try and be good and not doom scroll.

Trying to find another creative outlet to quit once I’m not immediately good at it.

Just finished Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots, fantastic book, a ton of fun.

Finished reading my first book of 2025, Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Took me a bit of time to get into (and getting back into reading in general), but I really enjoyed it. It scratched a certain hard sci-fi itch.

I popped into the queue for NIN tickets and then saw the prices. I'd rather see a dozen $15-30 local shows than one big show in an arena.

Am I bad at itch.io? I know there some ttrpg charity bundles I wanted to grab but I can’t find anything.

Giving a relisten to TAZ: Steeplechase, and it just reaffirms that Forged in the Dark is such a great system for actual plays.

Hey, #ttrpg people, can I play in your game?
