Howdy bluskies, new and older! I'm Joshua/Chase (either is fine), a scientist by day and a TTRPG hobbyist by dinner!

The one thing you should know about me is:
I live for other lives.

While I don't make much myself, I'll share with you what I and others do in science, TTRPGs, and art! 🩵

A picture of myself at the Butterfly House in the Saint Louis zoo. I wear an open blue button up shirt with a red shirt exposed underneath. The red shirt is speckled in a pattern of flying birds. The background is a partially cloudy sky full of greenery and flowers. My face is content.

I don’t even know where to begin.

Last Saturday was the soft opening of @thesecretlantern.bsky.social and y’all… there was a line around the building. I’m still trying to process it.

My dope friend Adrian, who is trans, interviewed 90 transgender Texans. His project is finally out: www.dallasnews.com/news/politic...

We surveyed 90 trans Texans. Most said they’re living in fear and weighing a move

Respondents said anti-trans policies have complicated their sense of home in Texas and pushed them to consider leaving the state.

Hen and Frog.

Ink and gouache on Fabriano Medioevalis, 95 × 64 mm.

Drawing in black ink, primarily in silhouette, of a hen startled by a frog leaping out from a small cluster of ferns. The hen's comb and wattle are the only touch of red gouache.

Everything reminds me of her

Carved jack o'lantern in a yard, with a scared, screaming expressed as little white pumpkins were attached all over, carved with large pointed teeth and mouths and made to look as if devouring the large scared orange pumpkin

Well, it's about time that I find someone to give money in exchange for the production of a cool logo for an upcoming project.

Hoping this is worded enough to not summon bots and spam. But if this is something you do, reach out with rates and samples!

On October 5, 2021, a stack was born.

136 campaign episodes (and a bunch of A-Talks, Behind the Screens, Adjacents, etc. etc...) later, we stack ever higher.

And it's only getting better from here.

Unspeakable amounts of thanks to the froggy folks who have joined us for this adventure.

That's Mr. Kendo D. Smith to you @kendomakesfilms.bsky.social · 2d

I am unbelievably excited for this opportunity. Absurdia is a game I’ve had my eyes on for A WHILE and to potentially be able to add to what is already such an evocative and strange game is such an honor.

Heart of Glass starts off with the heroes having screwed up really badly before the mission starts. You even get to roll on a table to see how horribly they botched their last mission!

PVincent (Table Cat Games) @tablecatgames.com · 8d

Heart of Glass, an adventure supplement for Street Wolves is coming soon to Backerkit. The heroes are out of their element in a town shrouded in secrets and in the grips of a satanic panic.

Please follow along, it's going to be a really cool release!

And if you see me on socials.... Well it's because I probably saw a bird that I really want to share so allow me that little bit.

Otherwise, I'll be in the sand hoping to see a shell or critter.🏖️

I'm going on my honeymoon next week (7 years later lol) but I'm closing up my store while I'm gone.

If you see me on socials, tell me to get back to the beach.
