As I explore how easy/hard that will be, I worked up a spreadsheet to calculate the percentage chance of succeeding on a roll in both PF1 and Daggerheart.

I'm going through the AP and seeing how the conversion might go.

I'll say this, DH's numbers don't get big like PF1.

I'm mostly certain that my next long campaign is going to be Daggerheart. It seems like the right blend of storytelling and dynamic action.

I'm also going to do something I've never done—run an adventure path! I'm going to convert Curse of the Crimson Throne from Pathfinder.

In Fred's thread he mentions that his group using Miro, a whiteboarding app. That is my VTT of choice too.

Drop in a PDF sheet and go. Dice roller apps are a dime a dozen. Get to playing faster and easier.

The Onion just launched a creative agency—and I’m all in.

They’re turning spare satirical talent into magic:
• Smart resource upcycling
• More value from their core mission
• Fresh, bold creative for brands

Brilliant move. More “sawdust industries,” please. 👏

The Trump administration has filled that role with an impeccably qualified person.

Yep—the little origami fortune-teller from middle school. But instead of jokes, I made a Design Roulette version that gives you quick-hit design feedback.

It was fun, memorable, and totally unexpected. I folded them up before the event, handed them out, and people loved it.

Last night, I had an event to attend… and realized at lunch that I was completely out of business cards. No card stock. Just a black-and-white home printer. 😬

So I asked myself: What can I make quickly that people will actually remember?

While picking up lunch, it hit me: a cootie catcher.

I'm slowing down on projects as I hunt for a new job, however! I made a cool thing yday and I'm going to count it as my sixth project of the year.

As a GM, I make my players contribute session recaps to our gaming wiki. When my campaigns wrap, I turn the notes into books!

But what about Rose Gold?

Tonight my gaming group will be playing Eat the Reich, where the year is 1943. You are a team of crack vampire commandos with one mission: drink all of Hitler’s blood.

If you could go anywhere in time and space, where would you go?

Me? I'd visit the Mesozoic Era to explore the dinosaurs.

I'd take photos and videos of the plants and animals of the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous.

1/ Moving on, looking ahead, and a favor.

After an incredible journey at Four Kitchens, it’s time for a new chapter. The entire creative team—including myself—is parting ways, and while it’s bittersweet, I’m excited for what’s next.

Tonight, our gaming group plays the Apollo 47 Technical Handbook RPG.

Is it wrong that I have "Start a Cult" on my bucket list?

Started Ticket to Ride legacy last night. My favorite part is that there is no Florida. ;)

Freshening up my video editing skills as I edit a new Fate actual play. I used Streamyard to record everything, which is amazing BUT when we went on break and folks turned off their camera, it broke our feeds into different files. That is making things a bit more complicated for me today.

This morning's Wingspan game ended in a tie. ❤️

My spouse and I have been playing it nearly every morning since 2020.
