(Also, thanks to Ellan for being my main point of contact!) SCIRE was super intimidating. Part of the way through, I realized I'd been referencing the 1.0 rules doc & hard pivoted to correct my story, but as Graham told us, there was no way we would fuck it up - and we didn't! Everyone had a blast.

@rowanzeoli.bsky.social, @raffitheowl.bsky.social & @scenefour.bsky.social passed through my table, all of whom it was a delight to see IRL & were consummate RPers besides. The VIP characters were great, the absolute chaos was exhilarating. Thank God CBR+PNK is rules light though! 😂😵💫🤪

Speaking of WORK, @juicygarland.bsky.social was all over the place - again, amazing to meet IRL finally in the two seconds you had to chat but I have no idea how you had time to BREATHE let alone hit all those excellent costume changes over the weekend.

I got jumpscared a few times over at the Mythworks booth as both @totcocoa.bsky.social & @emo-sludge.com caught me hanging around - both folks I've almost exclusively talked to online & whose work I am quite a big fan of, so it was great to catch up IRL. Very much looking forward to their 2026 work!

It was a real treat getting to meet @molomoot.bsky.social & @jellymuppet.bsky.social, particularly because the moment you got either of them talking re: game production you could see the sparkle in their eyes & their minds begin to work as they told you what they knew.

I ran Slugblaster the following day and was super pleased to see one of the SCIRE players ended up at my table with their friend. I also had someone who played Wassailing of Claus Manor last year at my Slugblaster table - super funny coincidence! They all had a blast & really wanted the full game!

1st off: I cannot thank @euphoricheise.bsky.social enough for getting me in touch with @mythworks.bsky.social to come work this event. I originally thought I'd demo Wildsea/Slugblaster & be in the booth the rest of the time, but @thismaybegraham.bsky.social pulled me into GMing the SCIRE megagame!

If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

My favorite is Wildsea SRD: www.wildwords-srd.com
I used it as a manual for writing my own game, it contains great game design advice and explains how to use each mechanic very well.

Back at SDCC a bunch of us got together and did a live play panel of @mythworks.bsky.social Slugblaster. To put it simply, it was a friggin blast! We skated on a demon-god’s head as he tried to murder us.
The stream of it is up and living for those of you sorry souls who missed it.

Sean is one my favourite people to play TTRPGs with and is easily a top tier GM of all time for me, no question.
Take the opportunity if you got it and if you join the CBR+PNK game tell him "Sweets sends her regards"

We had such an amazing time playing the SCIRE mega game at #PAXUnplugged! Based on CBR+PNK and run by @mythworks.bsky.social, it was a massive ttrpg of 60+ players who had to try and survive, get transformed, forced to change teams, and tons of other surprises. Absolutely worth the experience.
