Comp rounds to start the weekend. Great workout, tons of fun, but man, I did terrible tonight.

Hey, I'm married to a writer and I know it can be lonely work. Imma go pick up one of those books!

Naw, thank you for writing an awesome story. If I was going to read one of your novels, where should I start?

@aarondries.bsky.social I was catching up on some short stories last night and read The Absolute. Blew me away - can't wait to dive into your other work!

Really satisfying night last night in our #swordsandwizardry campaign. Tried a new procedure and some new tools, which resulted in some really strong player engagement. I've been wanting to level up how I run the monsters - when the goblins set a trap, it super paid off in fun.

Spent an hour noodling on some details for my #ArdenVul campaign even though I'm pretty sure a family obligation is going to end up making me cancel tonight's session.

To that end, I'm laying the administrative groundwork to open up the table so the schedule can fluctuate

Double-dipped this morning. 9 rounds at #jiujitsu gym number one and then just made it for open mat at gym number two.

Hit a textbook sweep on a guy who's been kicking my ass for years. That's gonna make tomorrow's soreness totally worth it

This implies that sometimes you feel you aren't needing tacos? Weird.

Been spending my time with the supernerds over on #mastodon. You Bluesky people talk a LOT!

Was about to enjoy a hard earned IPA after an hour of #bjj comp rounds, but I have been kicked out of my own living room by my 13-year old daughter and her gang of adorable dorks.
