Hello humans! My name is Adam Seats, my pronouns are they/them, and you might know me from my TTRPG shenanigans. I was an author on the 2022 ENnie award winning One Night Strahd, but I've been doing a lot since then! You can keep up with all my hijinx here or at iknowadamseats.biz

That game was absolutely fucking insane. 2nd to last jam tying the score to 138 meaning the last jam was literally the only thing that mattered from the last HOUR of gameplay with two teams desperately trying to make it? BUCKWILD.

(It is probably not breakbeat, you know what I mean though. It's been a while since I looked at the massive genre chart to identify what I'm hearing)

Adam Seats 🔜 PAXU @iknowadamseats.bsky.social · 16h

One thing I love about Richmond is that on Saturday nights, the low power FM station will almost always have some PS1-game-era-ass breakbeat being mixed live in studio. Love that shit.

Likewise, Charlottesville's university radio playing 100 y/o bluegrass before the sun rises on Saturdays rules.

Well, the Keith Haring shirt is still okay, but the jacket is starting to peel. Might be able to fix it with some fabric paint.

Documenting what might be the last hurrah for this leather jacket and galaxy skinny jeans - turns out derby destroys your clothes even if you're not skating 🫠

Adam is visible from the bust up wearing a silver pleather jacket, a disco ball necklace, a Keith Haring shirt and is giving the classic chin grab pose popular several years back that is also alleged to be the ASL sign for "lesbian"

Adam is fully visible in a floor length bathroom mirror - Doc Martens, galaxy print skinny jeans, Keith Haring shirt, disco ball necklace, and silver pleather blazer.

I am returning to my TTRPG roots with a game I originally designed 3-4 years ago but never released.

RITE is a #TTRPG #zine game? experience? ritual? where up to four players take on discrete roles to create sacraments for midwinter.

Launching Oct. 14th

With about 7 minutes left in the first half the teams have finally caught up to each other and are basically just trading who's in the points lead every other jam. It is CLOSE, and has not been a high scoring half. These folks are really kicking ass.

No show has to or needs to be an accurate adaptation of its source material. Going in new directions is fine. But I will always lament not getting an adaptation that really examines the depths of Vash & Knives' story the way it was originally presented, because that deserved to be animated.

Adam Seats 🔜 PAXU @iknowadamseats.bsky.social · 1d

There are a few episodes in the original show that are perfect adaptations of manga bits, but by & large Vash's recharacterization spoils the rest of them. I haven't seen the reboot anime - not exactly on purpose, but the æsthetic changes didn't really grip me. I probably ought to at some point.

A very late hot take since it's about to be relevant again: the original Trigun anime was visually amazing but was not a good adaptation of the comics. Manga!Vash was this really complex character unlike a lot of shonen stuff at the time -Show!Vash was LOL SO RANDOM I LIKE FOOD I'M GOOD AT KILLING.

Come to think of it, I've never seen @hodagrpg.bsky.social and Anica in the same room...

Anica Cihla @atticus.haus · 2d

as a gift for The CryptID Show reaching its goal, please enjoy this photo of me circa 2006. our town was the home of a cryptid called the hodag, and whenever there was a sporting event it was my job to put on costume from 1979 that people both pissed and smoked cigarettes in, possibly concurrently!

I had a kernel idea a while ago that @carrion-comfort.com is taking on & elevating tremendously

They just brought @danielharila.bsky.social on to do the art for what I hope will be a tool that makes one of my favorite narrative procedures a standard of play for your table.
