Alright let’s do this one last time.

Hey! I go by Julian, Juli, or JuliCiel.
I’m a storytelling multidisciplinary—an award winning fantasy writer, a TTRPG designer and streamer, a professional stage and voice actor, and more.

I do a lot. So here’s a growing thread of my life and work I’m proud of!

Hey friends! While the post PaxU energy is still flowing:

A reminder that @jonjonjon.bsky.social and I run a Panelist Discord for Asian/Pacific Islander creators to build pitches for conventions like Pax and are always looking for new recruits! Please do not hesitate to DM if you’re interested.

Finished reading Priory of the Orange Tree on the way back from PAXU.

Preemptive of adding it to my media thread, it was a rare case of wishing a story was two books instead of one. I loved getting immersed in the different cultures and wanted so much more of it! And also more time with Tané.

Last PAXU trip was a party. Talking, walking, riffing nonstop. I treasure it so.

This one was more intimate: Trekking out to a Filipino restaurant. Helping others write as a workshop guest. Chats and laughs around a fire. Carrying around a game about Death I poured so much into making in my hands.

Sleepy PAXU last day fit (I ate a bao bun and I’m in my comfies)

PAXU Day 2 involved holding my very own TTRPG in my very own hands, chatting with publishers, enjoying homemade pizza from an outdoor pizza oven, and a very silly sweet dog named Raz.

Day 3 begins now and then I’m out this afternoon 👋🏼

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is such a gripping and concise mystery novel, and it’s really unfortunate that the twist was so iconic that you can’t pick up the book without already knowing what’s to come.

Gotta make it through just one more ten hour shift before PAXU. Wherein I’ll be arriving on an early train just a few hours before the workshop I’m a part of.

It’s been a work-hard to play-hard month. And we’re almost to the play.

I’ll be at PAXU again this year—running a con workshop alongside these cool folks!

Come on by the Crab God Theatre on Friday and we’ll work with you to determine tangible strategies to sharpen up your TTRPG one-shot adventures!

Heading out to #PAXU?? Stop by this panel and a party a short walk from the convention center, featuring rockstar talent: @4evergmjustin.bsky.social @bruthaqueon.bsky.social @heycalamityyy.bsky.social and our host @vampirehimbo.bsky.social! Thank you to Dain & @futurefullstories.com for having me!

Lesson I learned from my first PAXU:

Wear something that makes it easy for your friends to find you!
Even a distinct little pop of color will make it easier to meet up with pals while shuffling through the horde of con-goers.

(And a mask! Wear a mask 😘)

An autopay transaction got me an overdraft charge and could really use some help. Just trying to get by before some client work kicks in. I would deeply appreciate any assistance.

The New York Times obit for Alice Wong doesn’t mention Covid or Gaza

It ignores two of her biggest causes because of political bias

Alice fought tirelessly for Covid mitigations

She fought for the people of Gaza

She rightfully reminded us that the genocide in Gaza is a disability justice issue

I’ve been playing a lot of Fabula Ultima for a high level PVP actual play campaign (exact release tbd), and it’s deeply convincing me that everyone who tries to make DnD a streamlined mapless game should be playing this instead.

People see Jesus Christ in slices of toast, tea stains, patterns in carpet and damp stains on walls. We are not psychologically prepared to show the required caution in the face of computer software that can mimic human language. People are already surrendering reason to the Jesus in the toast.

I’m really in awe at how much Hades II improved on the first from a game design perspective—apart from effectively having twice the adventure in it.

Optimal Hades 1 play amounted to dash spam and overleveling one or two boons. Sprinting and encouraged build diversification solves those cleanly.

A friendly reminder for pals heading to PAXU next weekend, just in case you’re overdue on getting your vaccines, no time like the present. They won’t hit full efficacy by con time, but something is always better than nothing! Let’s keep this con as safe as possible, make the appointment. 🧡✨
