October Moviegeddon Movie 9 is Abigail as I attempt to fulfill the “sugarplum” white board bet based purely on creature design. Both ballerinas full of teeth! Usually I don’t enjoy over the top gore simply for gore’s sake, but Abigail is a masterclass in exploding bodies. Really fun movie!

I figured it out! It’s October horror #moviegeddon - Cabin in the Woods Edition.
I’ll be marching my way through the white board bets (order may vary) w/ movies that could inspire the list. I’ll be choosing movies that I haven’t seen - because why not make this harder on myself?

I am so excited that our 250 community copies are all snatched up! For those who missed it the digital version of The Crowned #ttrpg can still be purchased at a discounted rate of $10. Easy peasy!

A robotic humanoid figure (called fetchBorn in this game) is on their way home from the grocery store. In one of their four arms they carry a plastic bag with some cans. They're wearing red sweatpants and a sleeveless black trench coat with patches. Holographic jellyfish swim around them, projected from ports in their arms and fingers.

Here’s that cool stump btw
One very cool stump sits in the low-tide mud of a marsh. There are several water lines visible in the stump, green at the bottom fading to white a top.

Went for a wander today in a marsh and accidentally took this banger of a pic while fumbling with my phone to take a banger of a pic but of a cool stump instead.

I’ve been making props and makeup prosthetics for ages now and somehow never needed a pressure pot. It was the one missing puzzle piece to properly dive into dice making and now that I have one you can be certain of dice making as a love language.

I have been working in this studio space for a decade. Job after job. I’ve built cyc stages & forced perspective sets. Prosthetics & creatures for the movie Prospect were fabricated here. I *should* know every inch of this place but what’s a Thursday without a never before seen cursed monstrosity?

Gorl! Working on The Crowned #ttrpg while I wait for my cat at the dentist. This cafe’s table proves the Cool S will always be there for you when you need it. Thanks, Cool S!

I’ve made a lot of hair choices over the years but the important takeaway is that the 1st playtest of The Crowned in any iteration was 5yrs ago. This was session 1 of what would become an 18month campaign resulting in a brand new system that I’m deeply proud of.
So much love for these people.

He is so mad I was gone
A boy and his cat. I look great and he looks furiously to the side, refusing to pose for a picture. I must go forth and regain his trust

About ready to board my flight home and tuck into whatever this book is going to be. $1 find on my way out of Chicago! Pic doesn’t show it well but this is a *very* embossed and shiny cover
Picture of the book “Soul Rider, book one: spirits of flux and anchor” by Jack L Chalker. I’d really love to describe the cover but I have no idea what’s happening. There’s some mountains? And some sea creatures maybe? Definitely humanoid sea creatures in the mountains

I am a sucker for a “specials” menu
A chalk menu at a cafe offering “Gunn powder” which is 20oz lemonade with a shot of espresso, plain la croix, and activated charcoal. The sign also reads “goodbye to a NWI legend”, there is also a sketch of a man’s head with sunglasses surrounded by lightning

Just spent 2 full days shooting 10hrs of content for @pixiesandpins.bsky.social’s new channel. Getting to GM a brand new #TTRPG for an amazing group of players was such a joy and honor!
This new game opens up character potential that #dnd really wishes it could deliver on. Can’t wait to share more!

Writing buddies!
For real tho, I do my best writing with at least one cat on me. My bones are dust and my words are good. Solid trade imho.

Two cats - one Bengal and one tabby - lay between my legs, which are raised up on a recliner. My laptop screen is in the foreground and pulled way up onto my chest. I can still type but it’s sure cramped.

Thought I would give this new Stephen King book a go! Isn’t it lovely??

These jerks are ten today! Happy birthday jerks!

Fighting when I’m trying to work on The Crowned or build a new #dnd character continues to be their favorite pastime.
Anyway show me your cats!
Jaga and Caspin, two Bengal cat brothers, fight atop my dungeons and dragons books. Jaga is standing up like a bear so you can see the spots on his tummy and Caspin recoils in defense, scrunching down his little ears

It’s vasectomy day!
Am I getting a vasectomy because it’s more effective than most birth control options offered to women & it frees my partner to use the method best for them? Yes!

Am I getting a vasectomy so I could suggest this movie as our Daily December Christmas movie?
Two things can be true!

In case you’re curious about The Crowned ttrpg (as you should be), here’s the god of bubblegum going absolutely wild in an alley.

For all the new follows, welcome! I’m a writer/game designer & I’ve been playing TTRPGs for decades.

I’m also the creator of The Crowned, a game in which you play a minor god of anything you like. Citrus? Pockets? Volcanos? Yes.
