Luckily she lives very close to you.

Come out to @lodestonecg.bsky.social on Sunday, November 9th for a very special Commander Party for a great cause! ❤️🎉

We'll be raising money for @translifeline.org & playing a fun new Commander format invented by Judge Rob! Hint: it may involve drawing your own tokens (just like on our show!) 🎨

Just game store coffee shop things.

Somebody missed me while I was at CubeCon

Ending on a demon kill via Slayer shot was the perfect way to end the evening. Hopefully we get to play again soon.

I vended my first event in about 8 years today with Lodestone. It was nice to get back to my roots, and we had a great time.

“If you keep psshing like that you’ll pssh yourself”

I got some free Deftones tickets after being on the fence about going for the last few months and they ended up being in a suite.

Cardboard for a Cause event registration is live!

This one is going to be a banger!

See the comments for more details on events.

Inside you there are two wolves.

If there's one episode of TV I wish I could force everyone to watch and internalize, it's the 30 Rock where Liz, who has always seen herself as a bullied nerd underdog, finds out she's actually been hated all her life because she's mean.

When Kesha says “Just show me where your dick’s at” Kesha is verbalizing her desires explicitly. This kind of language, while jarring to some, aligns with the broader movement of sex positive culture that encourages women to own their sexuality without shame.

We're having a staff PowerPoint party at Lodestone in a few weeks, and I need to figure out what to present.

My current idea:
Why Kesha’s Animal + Cannibal Is the Most Powerful Piece of Pop Music Written in the Last 50 Years

In 2023 I quit my job and was helping a friend with his video production business. We filmed a commercial with him and I figured it was the best magic card to have him sign.

With Happy Gilmore 2 coming out this weekend, I’d like to remind everyone that I have a Shooter McGavin signed Goblin Sharpshooter. It’s not for sale.

Magic is dead. Long live Mahjong

A friend organized Clocktower in the Park today. We rented a picnic shelter, grilled, and played @bloodontheclocktower.com for 12 hours. It was awesome.

Sunday Blood on the Clocktower is Peapod’s favorite activity.

I was also out of the country for 2 weeks.

I picked up Blood on the Clocktower at the end of March and yeah, you could say I’ve been a little obsessed.

Biiiig cat.

Jealous. I recently found the DVD at a little free library and was so excited.

Peapod is helping set up Blood on the Clocktower.

This has John’s name all over it.

One advantage to jet lag is that I get to be up early enough to drink my coffee and listen to Tegan and Sara before playing my RCQ today.

Alaska was one of my most listened to albums of the early 2000s.
