I should really get out to the West Coast.
Stylized map of the US showing places I've lived, stayed, visited, and stopped. My score is 112, 5 points from each place I've lived, 4 from stayed, 3 from visited, etcetera. Most of the western seaboard and north west is unvisited.

The only thing better than cranberry jam is mango cranberry jam.

It is always a pleasure to be credited in a @hellomcdm.bsky.social book but it is especially flattering to be part of a preview pack. Look at those names 🤩.

Use Montages for more cinematic sequences that keep your scenes tight and punchy!

A credits list from MCDM's new Encounters preview packet, including familiar names like Matthew Colville and James Introcaso, along with a Designer credit for Chris Hopper, which is flattering and astounding next to the incredibly cool other designers.

First, the games. Draw Steel and CosmereRPG hold special places at my table. My 5e campaign wrapped, and Orbital Blues was the perfect break. Cypher is always like coming home to the crazy ideas I didn't know my friends had just waiting for an outlet.

Then there's everything I want to play...
A spotify-style list of top games. 1: draw steel (campaigns don't write themselves), 2: cosmere rpg (superpowers, but with more swords), 3: 5e 2024 (like the ex you still call), 4: orbital blues (all my cool friends live in space), and 5: cypher system (all my other friends want me to know they can divide by 3). A list of one-shots below that include Daggerheart, Candela Obscura, AlienRPG, Vaesen, Glatisant, Cryptid Creeks, Jukebox, Infinibrix, Dukkborg and Pirate Borg. Spotify-style graphic of "Games I fully intended to play" including Mothership, Chain-link, Harvest, Mythic Bastionland, Old Gods of Appalachia, Cairn, Fate of the Norns, Triangle Agency.

We're potty training the little pup.
It's slow going, so out every 25 minutes or so.
But I need to work.
So we're doing puppo-doros.

Yesterday was this one's first big adventure out of the house. Meet Sassafras.

A few artifacts from this week at Stratemeyer #over/under
Racehorse ad in vibrant cyan for Epson's Pantone Compliance at the Solarian Derby VR. The painted horse is seen on the right with a halftone overlay and a print of a jockey in motion crosses the front. A memorial graphic for Jenny Calabrese, featuring a clearly cropped stock image of a professionally dressed blonde woman looking towards the sky with crossed arms and a toothy corporate smile. A brightly colored video ad for Guppies Instant Raman, featuring a red bowl overflowing with noodles and glitch texture over the entire image. Ad for Station Silencer, earplugs which use proprietary tech to drown out station noises without disturbing your normal range of hearing.

@hellomcdm.bsky.social's Draw Steel has finally arrived at my doorstep!

Orden is such an exciting, dynamic chunk of the Timescape and it's been incredible to be part of it.

I'm proud to be credited with the layout of these ambitious books, and excited to hold the completion of so much hard work.

Reposted with alt.
An article from a UK paper, with a picture of Trump, which has an appended title "The UK Steps in. (They sure have a way with words)" by Oliver Kornetzke. "Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge fund ghoul all spray-painted orange and paraded around like a prize hog and a county fair. Not a president, not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn't but has always been --arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshipped like gospel. It is America's shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels down before money, power, and spite it doesn't just lose its soul -- it shits out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader.

Nessie is proving difficult to train. She's unruly, a little toothy, and doesn't calm easily. If you've seen the recent Superman, that's Nessie.

She also adores me, plays with me at all hours, brings me all her toys, and is desperately trying to be a good dog for me.

I love how hard she's trying.
