I have this weird thing where whenever I get too cold I don't just start shivering, I start sneezing. #sneeze #ipeed #westmichigan #homeostasis #achoo

"Save vs. nuclear time lightning" wasn't where I saw tonight's Warpland game going, but I'm definitely not mad about it. #ttrpg #indierpg #warpland

And then sometimes two weeks turns into three months before I feel well enough to peek my head out.

Nice. I'm currently playing Augustus as Rome => Inca => Mexico and it's freaking great. I love how different the gameplay is from 6 while so much of the underlying logic remains the same.

Okay, so I came out from underneath one social media rock to immediately climb under another, Civ7-shaped one. Great timing, dumbass. #civ7 #newgames

Francisco "Gonzo" Villa ended the tyrannical Potfiriato, a victory too soon squandered. His Revolution never ended until a traitor assassin's shot him down #pendrawing #muppets #gonzo #panchovilla #muppetsoftherevolution

"Private Property is Theft!" proclaimed Pierre-Joseph Proudhon in his "What Is Property?" the foundational text of anarchism. He & followers believed in ignoring the state and building their own networks and economies to replace it. I agree. #muppets #leftist #anarchism #anarchy #penandinksketch

That's my favorite adventure of all time. It's slated for a party of levels 2+, but you can get away with a lower level range if you cut back on some of the initial encounters (the Iron Ring on the river, stuff like that). Lead-ins from other adventures are pretty easy, too.

I interview a lot of folks for my day job and I always ask what they're passionate about. There's no right/wrong answer, I just want to hear you talk about what you love.

I love that cover. I have a video somewhere of him talking me through that painting while it was a WIP. It's a really thoughtful piece in ways I didn't expect.
