Game Changer. The board says “the date today.” Sam says “Cady, what day is it?” Cady from mean girls days “it’s October 3rd.” Sam says, “Excellent, 1 point to Cady.”

I am now no longer on orders with the Reserve after nearly 4 years.

Mark Meredith @dicemonkey.itch.io · 13d

Only two days left on my orders. I've got a final interview tomorrow!

It's slow and kinda boring for the first chapter and a half. Then it really picks up.

Most of my list was assembled from AO.

Mark Meredith @dicemonkey.itch.io · 14d

Some of this stuff would get pared down. Like, we likely wouldn’t make it to the extreme south location of Crater Lake (which has a Wizard Island in it) but you never know.

Mark Meredith @dicemonkey.itch.io · 14d

Perfect! Thanks!

Mark Meredith @dicemonkey.itch.io · 14d

Excellent! That would be great!

Mark Meredith @dicemonkey.itch.io · 14d

I hadn’t marked it down, because it’s a given for Bridget and me. We love Leavenworth, but I’ll add it to the list so that when I share the list as a link eventually everyone will be able to see it.

Mark Meredith @dicemonkey.itch.io · 14d

Maryhill Stonehenge! Added to the list now!

Started planning a trip that would feel like a fantasy journey. Lots of curiosity shops, visiting the Washington trolls, a treetop hotel, a medieval village, and a fantasy theme park. Have any suggestions for the area, let me know. I’ll see if it’s on the list.

I've got a final interview today for a job, then another one next Tuesday at another job.

My orders end next Tuesday. We're cutting it close to the wire!

Mark Meredith @dicemonkey.itch.io · 19d

KNAVE! I’m constantly pitching it

That's what the Way Back Machine is for! At one point hackers stole the site and demanded I pay them to get it back, so I just went into the Way Back Machine and grabbed all the old articles I could.

Yup! You were an OG!

Seventeen Years of Dice Monkey

Every year when Dice Monkey’s anniversary rolls around, I’m struck by how much the landscape of tabletop gaming, and the internet around it, has changed. When I hit “publish” on the very first post…

vamprisms:
maidens if you are going to flee dramatically from my castle in the middle of the night once i reveal my true nature to you please leave your candelabra on the little ledge by the portcullis we are running out of them

vamprisms:
starting to think these maidens are stumbling in soaked through from the rain just to steal my beautiful gowns and homewear are any of you actually lost

At the checkout in Home Goods loading the belt with nothing but candelabras in all shapes & sizes while the cashier watches sympathetically and asks if it's the maidens again

Free is better than the 30 bucks it was going to cost me to get it all done at Staples, so I sent the files over to him. And they came out absolute shit. They look REALLY bad, washed out, blurry.

So I just got them all printed at Staples. Thanks for the help, but...

Mark Meredith @dicemonkey.itch.io · 23d

I'm getting ready to run a one-shot with pregen characters for 4e #dnd (using the Orc Stronghold from Dungeon Delves), and I wanted paper minis and terrain, so I was going to send files into Staples like I normally do. My friend was like, "let me print them all up for you. I'll do it for free."
