Nautilus ‘54

I feel that feel in my bones.

So very, very tired.

One of my players has playfully annoyed me away from game.

Me: “Time to make your character’s life harder.”

Her: “You already based an NPC off my brother. How much worse can it get?”

Me: *evil GM smile*

Her: “That wasn’t a challenge!”

The joys of playing an #RPG with your spouse. 🤣

I have to admit, seeing so much of #Reddit block any and all links to Twitter makes me happy.

Any time you’ve managed to get the fans of both the Detroit Red Wings and Colorado Avalanche to join forces on something, you’ve really messed up.

I try to start with a story reason and then find the mechanics that fit the story.

Unless I’m the GM, and then I build the NPCs to fit my party’s strengths as much as possible, while targeting one or two gaps in their skill set so that they have to innovate a solution in the moment.

When the world grows dark, be the light somebody needs.

Even people who like winter are complaining about the-13 wind chill.

It’s me.

I’m people.

It’s currently 7 where I am, with a wind chill of -13 Fahrenheit.

I like winter, but this is decidedly inhospitable.

Having done podcast editing, I completely understand where you’re coming from on this. Hopefully you find a solution soon.

I’m sorry. I don’t know you, but you have my deepest sympathy. Anniversaries of events like this are hard. Please know that your fellow humans care about you, especially at times like this.

I’m not sure, but that’s definitely something to keep an eye on.

Currently, I don’t see any mention of him on their website or socials, but it’s entirely possible that I missed something.

If you find anything conclusive, please let me know.

Well, that was short and performative. 🙄

I’ve found that getting ready for the day, even when I have nowhere to go or reason to prepare, is remarkably helpful in maintaining my mental health.

Do whatever you need to in order to survive the day, neighbor.

Good people, I missed my introduction!

My name is John. I write music and play TTRPGs. More importantly, I’m a husband to a wonderful woman & father to an amazing girl.

We have 3 cats, a pit bull, a leopard gecko & 2 aquariums with a few dozen fish in them.

Be excellent to each other, y’all.

Never trust a billionaire. Bluesky is great. I’m hoping that Neptune can deliver on what it’s promising in terms of replacing TikTok.

It looks like #TikTok is coming back online. There are definitely shenanigans happening behind the scenes.

I will support my fellow creatives who choose to use the platform, but I hope we can find something less shady in the near future.

Yeah, you're very cool posting ironically detached takes about TikTok being banned in the US. 7 million people had small businesses supported through that app, and 170 million users in the US used it for community, friendship and belonging.

But you're very cool for being a dick about it. Very cool

Hey, the Loot the Body studio burned up. They make some killer #TTRPG related tracks. Check them out on Bandcamp and maybe buy some tracks or albums.

New music from a really awesome human!
