I'm doing social media over on Mastodon again, rather than here mostly. Follow me over there!

I think I'm gonna do another adventure jam!

Haha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ouch.

Baby at the Table, Baby as Dice, Oh Baby Two of my players had a baby over the summer. (Well, one of them had the baby; the other participated in the creation and now in the parenting. You all know where babies come from—I don’t need to expl...

Babies? At the game table?! (Also, forums!)

To be clear: I'm just as much of a leftie jerk as the next one, but there is such a thing as extending a little grace.

I have republished Yochai’s OSR feed, which I was the co-moderator of. Should be working exactly as it was before.

People suck. The OSR community on Bluesky is a worse place today than it was yesterday now that Yochai left.

I love a good fourth wall break in my D&D.

Mm, smells yeasty. We named her Bubbles.

Just got some from my sister's. Any tips?

*new to me, at least. (Man, I sure do wish they were, though.)

A picture from behind of me (a man with a hat on) playing Guitar Hero on an old CRT TV. The room is bathed in an azure glow.

Christmas is for playing Guitar Hero with your little sisters. (Pictured: my new CRT TV and me winning.)

I'm sorry, okay!

This is beautiful

It sure was. But I haven't given up hope yet. I'm going to open it up after the holidays and try not to electrocute myself.

My wife tells me I shouldn't call everyone cowards, so I'm sorry—you're all very brave.

If you're all about that nerd shit, and feel like BlueSky maaaaaaybe has a limited lifespan, I recommend having a backup account on dice.camp, the Mastodon server.

Even the minimum use case is "a backup locale for future regrouping, with no incentive to enshittify".

(RetroArch with Mega Bezel.)

Screenshot of Zelda running on a SNES emulator, with a CRT filter and fancy background.

This'll have to do since the ol' (new) CRT is busted.

The new Between Two Cairns bumper is a BOP

Two plates waffles topped with fried chicken, apple slaw, and lots of hot sauce. (There are jalapeños in the waffles!)

Put jalapeños in your waffle batter, you cowards.

A book titled: The Complete Book of Heraldry. It has a white cover, decorated with various crests and things.

Brb. Gonna go do too much worldbuilding.

(Found at Ollie's for ten bucks.)

And it's dead. Now I need to find someone who fixes CRTs. Or take up a new new new hobby.

Caves of Cowardice is a system-neutral dungeon by Undelved that has a really cool aesthetic and nice art

Hear me out. Night Witches hack!

Yeah, I'm with you. (Didn't they make a movie about that in the early '00s?)

CRT TV showing the Retropie SNES interface with Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts selected, knock off SNES controller in the foreground.

It's alive!

Has anyone made this TTRPG yet? I wanna shoot dragons with a fighter jet.

Feeling festive. Might delete later.
