If you want a place to keep up with what I'm working on outside of social media, I have a free monthly newsletter! No spam, no junk, just a single very long email every month where I tell you about my projects and various game design thoughts that I have! mailchi.mp/3eea8c0e2287...
Is this a safe space to admit that I always get super emotional about the Olympics? Like tearing up at every opening ceremony about wow, peace and cooperation are beautiful and the community of nations is real. I’m cringe but I’m free

This is what we HAVE, and I can imagine what the other three MIGHT say. I imagine that a knight might be charged in the name of the Crone to be wise, or to heed wise counsel; in the name of the Stranger to not fear death or to be willing to risk one’s life

thinking about tomes
it was really a hop skip and a jump from these to RPGs when I was a tiny tween lass, because you know what these big shiny magical tomes look like? the 3.5e covers, which I am adamant are the best-looking D&D books, regardless of their content

caught today's Dunk & Egg on my lunch break (I didn't realize they put it up at 3 am instead of the usual time???) and I am going insane, I could run through a wall, I could run through ten walls

Dragonsdawn was my unexpected favorite of these books, though I loved them all as a tween/teen, and I especially bloved this cover. Sorka Hanrahan being a feisty horse girl when we first meet her and then growing up into the first queen dragonrider was EVERYTHING to me
DRAGONSDAWN (1987)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 25” x 36”
This was the first cover in the Dragonriders of Pern series to feature the beloved fire lizards and I really enjoyed painting them. 1/5

It’s funny how in ep 3 it was very easy to be like “I’m reading too much into this interaction between Jay-Den and Kyle” and in episode 5 Kyle is looking at Jay-Den like he wants to devour him whole and saying “you got a capable bearing” while flirting
"You got a capable bearing" as a pickup line is driving me so insane that I am going to become a danger to myself and others

Hey not to be dramatic but I think this is like one of the best shows ever made possibly
I am making myself do all my little TASKS (writing, grocery shopping, putting the dishwasher back together) before I watch the new episode of Starfleet Academy and it is taking literally all of my restraint and willpower 😤

I just opened this up and this has gotta be the funniest/best list I have ever been included in. no other context where you're seeing my name next to my absolute GOAT Kenny Omega 😂

can I say something insane? there's a tiny chunk in this that I paraphrased, if not directly stole, from Mrs. Dalloway. now you might think "Jen, why are you putting concepts from Mrs. Dalloway in your goofy-ass Star Trek fanfiction?" and the answer is because I'm classy as fuck

...I am writing something SO stupid right now
do you think there's going to be a school dance episode of Starfleet Academy? are they going to have an Academy formal? do you think they'll have prom with the War College? I have been rotating this idea in my head for like an hour and a half

yesterday my devs tried to tell me that something they did was "a minor change" that "doesn't need much testing" and "wouldn't affect anything else", so obviously I found four (maybe five) bugs in the first half hour of testing it

Yet again learning that a song I assumed was a huge worldwide smash hit, ubiquitous, unavoidable, in fact only reached 33 on the hot 100 and people do NOT remember it (Jesse McCartney’s “Right Where You Want Me”) youtu.be/0ncqa7iifD8?...

apparently this pic, which was one of the first batch of Starfleet Academy promo pics, is from this week's upcoming episode, and I'm so excited because when I first saw this, I was just kinda like "aww that seems nice" and now I'm like "those are my babies and I love them"

on my last straw at work today but because I'm terminally cheerful and adaptable in the workplace, it's like me trying to be very stern and saying "team, I think this is a real problem"

Before we started I was like "wow, the weekly meetings are an hour and a half, and we're only reading about 70 pages a week, are we going to have enough to talk about?" WHAT A FOOL I WAS, I feel like we could've kept going for another hour easily
Our first meeting was tonight and it was so so so so nice! READING GREAT BOOKS AND THINKING HARD ABOUT THEM AND TALKING ABOUT THEM WITH OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE THINKING HARD
I got so eager to begin that I went ahead and bookmarked all the weekly sections according to the program schedule and found all my highlighters and things, I’m a DWEEB, I’m an incurable dweeb, god forbid I ever actually DO go back to school

One thing I love about the casting is how expressive Peter Claffey’s face is. Like you can see all of Dunk’s thoughts playing out on it, lots of little things happening. We need to ban actors from getting botox and fucking up their ability to move their cheeks and foreheads
hello I am terribly obsessed with dunk and egg and I think this is the best show ever

designing games is a thrilling creative journey full of unexpected twists and turns of the imagination and also I just spent one million years (or maybe 20 minutes) adding slightly smaller white circles inside the existing colorful circles on these character sheets to make them easier to write in

Saw a convo about like, zoomer teetotalers and their general disdain for alcohol and where that comes from, and from my experience, I feel like DARE and other zero tolerance programs give kids no sense of proportion
