A candle lit, a requiem tonight for one of the most sensational gay male artists named Michael Breyette
Thank you for the joy, the scintillation, and the joy you brought in a variety of queer scenarios from the deeply erotic to the mystically joyful.

It's coming. In the new year, the Power Rangers ttrpg podcast universe fulfills a promise and will bring a new set of dread. With the Rangers at the end of season two finding themselves back in the dreaded Round Room and facing an explosion, what do you think Season 3 will showcase?

Speaking of Power Rangers and Ranger journeys, I'm doing recap videos for the entirety of the series! Episode 7: Big Sisters just came out today and Trini and Kimberly are at the forefront , along with the requisite junior troublemaker 90s trope. Enjoy!

Such a sad story. She had a husband, but he disappeared. Fortunately, that was his job. He was an illusionist. #clue #madelinekhan #mcnugget #buddies #halloween Piece 7 of 8 of the McClue #halloween #october art tribute

The horrors are many and yet I strive to persist in queer storytelling (sometimes kicking and screaming but I do love it so). In finding joy and keeping moving through October, making and presenting the Clue McNugget Buddies has brought me such pride to bring into the world. Nearly done too!

Just hitting my stride and jamming out to 80s music when my Stardew Valley started wigging out so I guess that means I'm done for the night 🤷
At least it was just year one so it wasn't like a lot of progress was lost on the day or anything

Dear @tabcreations.com and hive mind, as a GM, the players have telegraphed what they hope to do as their next move against what they think is the Big Bad. Should I lean in to their plan but create traps or should I try to foil their plan knowing the whole story behind it?

It's fitting that on such a political day, our 4th piece of the 8 piece #clue McNugget Buddie for a #spooky #halloween fun time would be Mrs. Peacock. She's a Senator's wife after all and you can take your hands off her!
