Today feels like a good day to remind folks that our next season of Cast Away will be raising funds for @lambdalegal.org

In these, uh, "times" we continue to seek out the orgs and people who are doing the most good for the most people

We stand with the Trans Community. Always.

The cast of Fables of Frost & Fur and I are brainstorming our next show - we’re thinking hard sci-fi with generous sprinkles of horror!

My AirPods were disconnected and my phone started blasting K Pop Demon Hunters at the gym.

I got several approving nods.

I WON THE OUTSTANDING GM AWARD! This is the 1st time I have ever won an award for solely GMing, and words can't describe how I feel rn. I couldn't have achieve this if it wasn't for my co-star @lilithttrpg.bsky.social as their performance as Omera pushes me to be the best performer I can be!

Wow, finalist for a CRIT Award! I'm usually just vibing in my tiny little indie #TTRPG micro-niche. So wild to me to reach so many and feel so seen.

One might ask, "Kenny, do you have to get up at 5:30AM on a weekend to overprepare for a D&D session?"

I might even respond, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

Does anyone else feel a sharp pain of creative inadequacy and incompetence when they experience something that just speaks to you on every level?

Because that's how I feel after starting Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. This is everything I wanted in one piece of art.
