I have a lot of new followers, so I think lets do some introductions?!

My Name is Dylan (he/him), 33y/o, from Ireland, and I'm a TTRPG Enthusiast! I have a load of different projects that I love doing, and wish I could spend all my time doing, but alas, I need to have a "real job" to pay the bills!

But they can subsidise Ai research and Tech companies who will damage the environment further.

I am so sick of these corrupt snake oil sales folk running the country.

I thankfully still only got hungry at my usual time for breakfast!

I only left 15 minutes early, but that got me in 40 minutes before I usually do!

Dylan and Dragons @dylananddragons.bsky.social · 6d

Got up nice and early to beat the traffic this morning, which was a great success! But, it meant i was in actually on time / early for once, and now the day is dragging on so much . . . .

Really looking forward to this to come out! I'm not usually a player, and i often feel very nervous about how I execute character arcs when I am, but Bréagan is probably the best PC I've ever played, and the entire table was a delight to play with!

D8Dungeon @d8dungeon.bsky.social · 11d

The Grove awaits. A once-sacred place now shattered by betrayal. Oisin stands at a crossroads... torn between duty and his heart. Every choice weighs heavy, and those who rely on him are feeling the strain. Will hope find a way or wither and decay?
This is Echoes of the Grove.

I've been really getting into Old World Warhammer content lately, but my God does the warhammer scene have a rampant AI problem that I so not see called out enough

Dylan and Dragons @dylananddragons.bsky.social · 13d

Ah! Great to know, thank you!

those Grit and Glory people on it, they're the ones who have just hired a whole heap of influencers to run ads for them. But looking at their page I'm not seeing AI on it?

Absolutely happy to be proven wrong, but i'd just be surprised that so many are working for them if they are AI shit lords!

Run number 2 in as many years! Already a noticeable difference in today's performance! Probably because my body now remembers wtf im doing!

We rented a Victorian Manor here in Ireland and turned its library into a studio for a weekend to record an Actual Play for the upcoming Victoriana 5e release by Cubicle 7!

You can check out a fun behind the scenes video i made here!

Went for a run this morning.

I regret to report that yes, while I hated it in the moment, I actually do feel rather good and I'm smug about it now.

I'm the worst type of person I know.
