Greetings weary traveler, come rest awhile and hear my tale -

I'm Mitch - a ttrpg nerd, zine fanatic, and aspiring librarian based out of Philadelphia.

You can find me telling stories with my best friends over at @riskystandard.bsky.social or yukking it up over on the show's discord.

having a moment of realizing how wild it is that basically every app or service I use regularly bombards me with ads begging me to gamble on sports

going to start referring to new hobbies, fresh haircuts, wardrobe updates, etc. as a ‘gimmick change’

Time is running out aboard the Aeonian as the derelict hulk lurches toward the darkness between stars. Within the heart of the anomaly, something impossible awaits: a palatial garden, glistening in cesium-gold.

Last month I spent 30 hours across 3 days playing Eclipse, a sci-fi larp inspired by Interstellar and Arrival.

It was my first "full scale" larp, so I was anxious and excited to see if it'd live up to the hype. Not just the visual spectacle, but also the depth of role play. Here's what I found!

Playing First Contact in Eclipse, a Spectacular 3-day Sci-Fi Larp

I confronted humanity’s place in the universe in an epic larp inspired by Interstellar and Arrival.

MORE: Libraries in several states have received letters which claim to cancel federal IMLS grants.

Congress MUST act to restore this funding. Read our full statement: www.ala.org/news/2025/04...

Use your voice - call Congress to protect & restore library funding: bit.ly/CallCongressForLibraries

"Withdrawing library grants is a callous move at any time, but downright cruel at a time when it's getting harder for many Americans to make ends meet - most of all, in small and rural communities. The White House may have no qualms about slashing opportunity for jobseekers, students, veterans and families, but Congress has the power to restore support for services their constituencies rely on." - ALA President Cindy Hohl.
