Sunrise over a college campus, highlighting pink clouds.

A lovely day for growing older. 💀 Happy Halloween! 🎃

INDOCTRINATE! INDOCTRINATE!

(I honestly have no idea what building maintenance thinks this arrangement will accomplish. Top bucket fills, spills over, runs down the outside of the hose? Inscrutable engineering.)

A small plastic waste pail set to capture water leaking in from the roof. The garden ends inside it.

I peered into the void and beheld A BUKKIT.

It is a day for Ancient Memes and keeping the Old Ways.

An office desk with a couple of computers in a professional office. A large plastic garbage bin can be seen to one side. A curled garden hose leads from the bin to the ceiling.

Ceiling tile missing in the ceiling, with a water hose disappear into the unknowable depths.

Got into the office and discovered they're trying to prove the existence of Ceiling Cat again.

Poor Juan, obviously grimacing at the noise of the mortars and artillery fire. And antifa surging behind you! You are brave souls. With good taste.

(Hope y'all had a great time!)

So here for it. That Pirate Börg game you ran was awesome! MOAR.

Preparing to leave the Midwest. Wil and I have had an amazing time, culminating in the discovery of Midleton Extra Rare at the airport bar. Best #GameholeCon yet!

The most fun I've ever had running 'shine, and I laughed my ass off. Great stuff!

Che, was awesome to hang out with you again. Nos ponemos al día en abril, amigo!

Our 16th (?) anniversary spent at our third #GameholeCon, including the annual pilgrimage to Sol's On The Square (best Korean in Madison). I love this place almost as much as I love my husband. 🥰

This. So many games have massive epic campaign arcs or deep lore revealed over many sessions, making them difficult to dip into...each is an expected commitment (and product lock-in). Would love smaller settings that somehow incentivize/reward you for the other games & characters you've played.

Leavin' on that jet plane. See ya soon, #GameholeCon!

That's one hell of a glow up!

While I was not at the table where this happened, I can confirm via multiple sources that yes, indeed, the constabulary was nearly summoned.

Grab your nearest cousin and meet us out by the old still!

#GAMEHOLECON! This year Connor and D8 Summit Charities are bringing some amazing panels to GHC, along with an AL adventure set in the Red City, a unique Domain of Dread. This is gonna be so good. We'll see you in Madison!

Oh, we noticed. 😏 [sickos.gif]

So, so tasty. Wil made that for Christmas dinner a couple of years ago and I still go on about it. Have fun in the kitchen!

Hells yeah! That is excellent. Congrats, and looking forward to what's next.

So much Nerd Joy! Glad you had a great time.

OP and his husband smiling on a ferry.

Ferry time! Off to see the inlaws and family friends for BBQ shenanigans. Nom!

I do love me some #FloridaConFriday. Hope y'all have a great time!

A 2% merit increase, in this economy?!

Didn't have that on the bingo card for this week. Just in time for con season!

Connor does a good job talking up TinyD6! As proof: I now own all published TinyD6 materials (mostly from @gallantknightgames.com), and have run super fun genre mash-ups at conventions. It's a great system for a con setting & one-shots, since it's super easy to teach and learn. I adore the system.

I sometimes forget I'm not.

Grandpa needs a nap.

"Watcha wanna do tonight?"

"I'm thinking of trying out that new wine bar downtown, but my Lawful Neutral is rusty. Wanna hit the Chaotic Good jazz club?"

"How about we hit that Chaotic Neutral dive down on the waterfront? I can't understand a word they say in there but it's always so damned fun."

It is said that when the lifeless star Xantosh aligns with the Moons of Quintessence, while the distant Vlub chant their unwholesome syllables in veneration of That-Which-Is-Not, then and only then will the gate be opened between this world and the next.

So yeah, we'll be there!
