It’s my favorite time of the year because #RenFaire season is back!

Opening weekend was a joy, the weather was cool enough to enjoy a delicious baked potato, and I managed to get my main Faire purchases done this first weekend ✨🦋

Can’t wait for this weekend’s Dungeons & Dragons theme!

I truly enjoy the art of collaborative storytelling & sharing that with others 🥹✨

So if you’re reading this & may want to add a new GM to your roster for a streamed one-shot or even a mini or full campaign, I would LOVE to do something for you.

Between these scores, having regular players requesting me month after month for DnDrafts, one of my LGS’ wanting me to run games for them, and other friends asking me when I’m running another campaign so that they can play still surprises me —

Got my feedback from being a GM at GenCon today and with it being my first year at that con & finally running games in-person for Kobold Press, I’m so glad to see the scores I did 🥹

My players are menaces & I’m just a little guy 😂

I was making gremlin faces during a really great RP moment in tonight’s session (this clip was from the previous one) & one of them said “oh no, Daddy is being a pizza mouse again”

So my players have decided to say that I’m being a “pizza mouse” whenever I am “eating up” a roleplay moment as a GM.

This is all because I ate a piece of pizza in the most perfect triangle shape with 2 hands as I was listening to a roleplaying moment between them all 💀

websites like Moxfield, ManaBox, etc. and play digital versions of their physical decks/decks made by others & do some sort of a screen share for that.

Definitely many ways to play online these days 😉

Some people play together on MTG:Arena which is both available on phones & PC for download — you will need to know the username to friend request & play.

Next option is using Spelltable which lets you use your physical decks & a camera above your play area.
Some people also build decks via —

Hello BlueSky, yes it was my bday! But today I’m in a tough spot.

After waiting on freelance pay that hasn’t come, my landlord is threatening me with eviction if I don’t get caught up in two days.

If you can I’d really appreciate the support. Anything helps. #mutualaid
