I really want a blink dog irl now…

The after-school #DnD club I run for my students had a holiday party yesterday, and I had the kids make Beholder ornaments. I think they turned out great 😁

Can I offer you a bacon jalapeño deviled egg in this trying time?

Problem: I’ve been craving a Greggs steak bake, but since Greggs is a UK chain, the nearest location is roughly 4,400 miles away.

Solution: be the Greggs you wish to see in the world…

It seems pretty clear to me that dragon feces is going to have HP & Con benefits for dragonborns. Thinking here of stool transplants being used to treat irritable bowel syndrome IRL… dragon feces has to be chock full of the bacteria that a dragonborn microbiome needs, right?

Super proud of my youngest: he just got finished GMing for the 1st time, running a one-shot he wrote himself for #Shadowdark! His friends loved it 🙂 He hand drew his own dungeon, and made a puzzle for his players to put together irl to reveal a secret room in the dungeon.

Optimist: the cup is half full
Pessimist: the cup is half empty
Tillichian Theologian: the task is to keep the cup, as a symbol of ultimate reality, translucent, lest it become an object of idolatry…

In my Celtic era…

After seeing a newsletter from The Arcane Library with this free monster earlier today, I challenged my 8th grade GMs to work it into their after-school sessions today… it was hilarious to hear the shrieks of laughter in my classroom as cranberry juice got into PCs eyes 😁

I’m having so much fun introducing my students to #shadowdark this semester… after a few homebrewed one shots, one of the groups will be meeting the Scarlet Minotaur tomorrow 😈

Reading Astrotopia for the 2nd time in 6 months - 1st time was for pleasure, 2nd time for one of the classes I’m taking - and somehow it’s even more on-point than it was in May! Mary-Jane Rubenstein just might be my favorite contemporary thinker… #theology #religion #philosophy #science #spacerace

I know all too well 🥲

Newer FL version for now, but I’d love to have the chance to dig into some of the original at some point!

Hello! I love Cypher/Numener. I’ve done a few Old Gods one shots and currently have a very occasional Numenera campaign going.

Way too many to choose from, but I’ll start with:

Vaesen
Numenera
Shadowdark
Call of Cthulhu
The One Ring

The Omnivore’s Dilemma and Cooked were both life-changing reads for me. I’ve also got a cookbook that his mom and sisters did, and have gotten some pretty decent recipes from it!

I’m TAing for Dr. Wheeler this semester. He’s a gem! Love seeing his work getting posted about :)
