Looking for a gift for a birding friend or a kid who loves nature? I have 10 books for adults and kids, some bestselling and some award-winning, and you can see them all here: rosemarymosco.com/books
(Note: one of them, Birding Is My Favorite Video Game, is out of print but a new edition is coming!)

In self-interest but also general interest, folks: Black Friday is coming up, and small publishers/independent creators will always be a better choice than megacorps.
When the sales drop, please remember that!

I'm running a birthday game for my nephew later today and I convinced the kids to give my Magic of Friendship Warlocks a try. Each get a different flavor to their eldritch blast, and the more warlocks you get blasting at the same time, the more powerful they become as a group.

Nobody asked, but:
I think the biggest pitfall of sci-fi/fantasy storytelling, especially for worldbuilders, in the infodump.
You're (rightfully) just so proud of all the work you put into creating a cohesive setting that you just wanna PUKE it all over readers/watchers on page one.

From tonight's game: "it's like the power of friendship, but more the power of 'WTF, guys?'"
Turns out when your players all play as ex-minion dungeon monsters, there's a lot of wholesome interactions with an undercurrent of unsettling horror 😅

1. 4 of these 😅
2. Quiet Year, Eat the Reich, Daggerheart
3. I'm a fan of rules-light systems that put emphasis on creative storytelling (bonus points for humor, too). Stuff like Lasers & Feelings, Shenanigoblins, and my own Tarot RPG!

The TTRPG world is so much bigger than Dungeons & Dragons. Our GMs currently run games in 90+ systems!
We love talking games, so this got us curious:
1. How many of these have you played?
2. What some systems you want to try?
3. What are your favorite systems (even if they're not listed here!)

I got to be substitute GM for a @roughmagicrpg.bsky.social event Saturday! No prep time, just grabbed Tarot RPG & ran. We had a wild, gay time with:
🫂 Siblings saving their adoptive parents who had turned evil
🍑 A twerking bard w/ backup dancers
💩 A tormented druid learning all the wrong lessons😅

This is why I regularly let people know how awesome I think they are.
We often think that awesome people must naturally know they’re awesome, but they don’t. And letting them know could be the little push that they really needed that day.

Low key, this is why I think you should send fan mail to the niche people you love and not huge people. Bts is gonna get thousands of letters, but that soundcloud rapper may go there entire career getting nothing.
Tell your niche favs you love them in a way that is not weird!!

The funniest thing about being A Person in a very niche microcommunity is that you suddenly realize that the people you think of as "famous" in other microcommunities are in the exact same boat as you
