Sometimes you don't know something is gonna sound pretty horny until after you're in the edit...
...and sometimes you record a WILDLY HORNY episode and know immediately what you and your table have done.

I do not minmax. I do not optimize my sheet. I do not have an XP plan. I do not give a shit about action economy. I play to have fun and if I'm not having fun, I go do something else.

Replace novel with podcast and this is how I feel.
The premise of my writing advice book Never Say You Can't Survive continues to be incredibly true. The world is unspeakably horrific but writing a silly new novel is bringing me so much comfort and brightness

Last year I ran Hunter the Reckoning for fans and listeners at #PAXUnplugged, and made it quietly canon to Path of Night. There were even references to them in Brine & Blood!
What should I prep this year? Vampire the Requiem? All Flesh Must Be Eaten? My stupid idea for a PENTEX leadership seminar?

What if I played another French (technically Montaigne, and originally played in 2008) PC, and dialed the angst and self-loathing up to 11?
What if I got to play a version of Jean-Paul Chevalier again? Just as a little treat for myself?

Late to the party, but all I'll say as an AP creator is that you need to experience and be passionate about a wide variety of things (thoughtfully and casually) to find your style.
And once you discover a personal style that fits what you want to make, it is (and should be) ever evolving. (1/2)

I realized today that Roland is the first Vampire the Masquerade PC I have EVER played that has Physical Disciplines. Ever.
I played Requiem characters with them, but never once have I had a single dot in a Discipline that wasn't basically a Mental Discipline until my beefy Frankish boy.

Seriously, this whole thing is so incredibly cool. And the Latin is a rough translation of see cool stuff that ties the original campaign and War of Ages together.
And there's Brine & Blood Easter eggs!

Hey everyone! In anticipation of the War of Ages starting soon, the extremely talented @steelart.bsky.social has created a full page from an illuminated manuscript for Path of Night!
They did a crazy amount of research into marginalia; the whole piece is up now on in high resolution on our Ko-Fi!

So, on Tuesday I was diagnosed with Lumbar and Thoracic Spondylosis. So I am doing six weeks of physical therapy to help. This also means I am taking medical leave from my job.
I set up a ko-fi goal to help bridge the gap while I fight for short term disability.

Playing Magic last night really reinforced the emotional decision making side of the game.
Lex: "Everyone mill 10."
Me: "Every time you tap a land, I get to steal a pint of your actual, real life blood."
The Table: "Mill?! Fuck you, Lex!"
