So there have been several floods of new bsky users since I took a short break from social media — so I’m posting another TTRPG intro post in case people don’t know me.
I’m Alex! I love both D&D and other TTRPGs. I try to post TTRPG related questions when I can, to spark discussion. I’m a writer! ✨

The challenge of living in a house filled with neurodivergent people all of whom are borderline incapable of cleaning up after themselves as they go, means that when Thanksgiving and Christmas roll around, we have to for months worth of cleaning into a few days, tops.
I’m so tired. I want to rest.

This one is another one of mine 🥰 I had so much fun working on this #Daggerheart campaign frame! I hope folks who find it interesting will follow the Hope Springs Eternal Kickstarter so that they can maybe see the whole thing in a couple of months! 💕
In Poisoned Roots, PCs face a ruling class intent on quelling dissent. They will make hard choices, sacrificing what they hold dear to defend family and neighbors. A claustrophobic and political Daggerheart campaign frame where beauty and rot coexist, where party-based adventuring is not the focus.

The concept of a Thanksgiving “”break”” is the most ridiculously farcical thing to me because holy smokes, there’s so much crap to do between cleaning and cooking leading up to the actual day that it’s like “what break?”

Me preparing for my aunts birthday party: “I should probably pack some Motrin because there’s a high chance I’ll get a headache. Oh, and some Pepto Bismol. Oh, also my Xanax. Oh and I should take a Dramamine for the car ride. Oh and— actually I should just pack a lil mini pharmacy, huh?”

Discovering that I - apparently - have low porosity hair is such a pain. Because, look man. Just doing normal wash/condition is a pain for hair as long as mine.
(I love my long hair, it's just a lot of work).
And now it's like "Surprise! You should be doing extra steps!"
I just... sigh.

Me: Yesterday and the day before were very bad. Today is not great. I am anxious, I am irritable, I am tired and unmotivated, I am frustrated at every little thing, and I am rapidly swinging between being over stimulated and under stimulated.
My friend: … did you take a Xanax? /cont.

I woke up this morning and — inexplicably — one of the first thoughts I had was “wow, a lot of sorceresses sure do turn people into pigs, huh?”
Like if I had a nickel… well, off the top of my head, I’d have 3 nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s more than 2, & that’s wild to me.
How odd. /cont.

Thank you very much to everyone for the very sweet birthday wishes today 💕 I've had my almond croissant & chai latte, I have had my sushi, my sister in law (& my brother, though he says it was for SURE Cami's idea) got me a super soft Christmas blanket as a gift, & I have had a peaceful day in bed.

Hurray, it's my birthday! 🥰 Birthdays always feel a *little* weird for me (though oddly, they've gotten *less* weird as I've gotten older).
I get to have an almond pastry and a latte for breakfast this morning, and I think we get to have sushi for dinner tonight. So that's super exciting.

We'll soon be ready to reveal the 4th Daggerheart campaign frame in Hope Springs Eternal: Gutterpunk Rhapsody. @grahampayne.bsky.social cooked up a crazy setting for that one! From the crowded Guts to the Stygian Depths, from the over-city of Alabaster to the Junker's Wilds, there will be mayhem!

Me, editing: 😭 I'm not powerful, I'm not powerful. I am weak and lowly.
This is true for TTRPGs as well as for any other form of writing.

Having such a busy weekend means that I get to the actual week and I'm like [anxious laughter] because I didn't actually get that much of a break, & now I'm a lil overwhelmed by the fact that I still have stuff to do.
I'm trying to break tasks into smaller bits & remind myself it'll be okay /cont.

I truly hate it when weekend plans get sprung on me. Especially the kind that are like "this is going to take up the majority of your weekend" and it's like 🙃"ah... okay... thanks... really would have appreciated planning this in advance, but... I guess that was too much to ask for."

This one is one of mine and I’m super excited to be writing it 🥰 for sure partially inspired by my own experiences with music growing up, & feeling its importance in my life 🎶 I think it’s going to be a fun Daggerheart frame to explore. You should for sure follow the Kickstarter if you haven’t yet!
The Eternal Song has been carried on for centuries by the Conductor. With its notes kept thrumming by the people's deeds, it has influenced all of Fermata. Until now.
This contemplative and hopeful Daggerheart campaign frame will see adventurers brave dangers while exploring the role of culture.

You ever just feel so loved that you wanna cry?
My wonderful boyfriend got me all three of the main campaign Critical Role coloring books and some non-bleed markers for my birthday and I'm just
A little emotional wreck.
I'm just so happy 😭💕

I did my best to play Blue Rose tonight even though I feel like hot garbage, & I'm glad I did, because there's nothing quite as funny as my character, who has been seen to be mostly grumpy, getting to pull an immediate wide eyed ingenue act: "You don't think I'm in... *danger* do you? 🥺" /cont.

Me, running a fever: I really need to finish my edits today and also I’d like to take some time to clean my room.
The voice in the back of my fevered brain: ma’am please, I beg of thee, rest. A full day of rest. No other stuff. Just rest.
Me: but my obligations???
The voice: 😭😭😭 REST, PLEASE??
