the trick with getting people to play non-D&D games is just to do it and not act like its a big deal at all.

I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice

hey folks. passing around the hat once more - quarterly utilities and tax season and delayed contract work are all colliding

all my early games are 60% off (or $30 bundled)! there's horror, history, intimacy, community - the wildwood signatures. reposts greatly appreciated.

Just a reminder that if your local independent bookstore doesn’t have the book you want in stock, they can usually order it in for collection within 24-48 hrs.

I'm supposed to be at
Sweet Briar College, where I was so excited to meet with the amazing students, faculty, and staff who organized my visit & made Mobility their Common Read. Hours before my flight I learned about their Board's exclusion of trans & nonbinary people. So now I'm not going.
