I mean, yeah, Picard seems like the main character in TNG, the movies, and the series named after him. But secretly I think the main character is Data.
Data from Star Trek. The image is zoomed in on his head. He has a data (ahem) port attached to the back of his head and his eyes are fixed straight forward. The caption says, "Processing."

Boules for soup later on.
Two delicious bread boules that smell amazing and make you want to stay in this kitchen forever.

Bite the Bullet of course. Man, so many. I love #ttrpg.
A list of role playing games that have been purchased on drivethrurpg. It's a lot. I may be addicted.

A picture of the adventure Hands of the White Wizard by Free League. It looks so sick I just might die.

Back on my bullshit again, watching Rings of Power.

One of the other parts to that Star Wars D6 procedure was the "problems" table, where you generate things that the other table has chances to solve.

A long time ago when I was regularly running Star Wars games, I came up with some frameworks for generating "what's next." This is part of it. First you roll a trouble (e.g., broken hyperdrive) and then roll 3d20 and read down the columns for who/what can solve it.

#ttrpg #starwars #swd6 #weg
A table of opportunities that can crop up during a Star Wars D6 adventure, mainly as a response to the troubles that you roll at the start of a session. For example, you could roll that an old friend wants you to extract someone from a prison.

Moroccan ocean perch.

I have about 4 kilos of this fish left to make (thanks Dragon Star Market) and I'll likely bust out the tagine for the next round.

I'm only involved in Bite the Bullet for layout. But we're getting art, man! Looks cool!

This is an Into the Odd derived game. #ttprg #prg #western

These are all "artless" layouts for Bite the Bullet, for quick printing without busting your toner budget. #ttrpg #rpg #western

Dolly has never steered me wrong.
A photo of a package of Dolly Parton's buttermilk pancake mix. There is a drawing of Dolly Parton in the upper right, looking like she's going to bless me with goodness and light for my whole life. There is also a stack of pancakes with an Aunt Jemima pat of butter and syrup dripping down the side in a seductive manner.

I also play some sportsball.
A picture of a court on which there are four players. They stand ready to smack the ball into the other player's side. One of them wears an adorable skirt. The others are meh.

The more I rewatch Portlandia the more I appreciate it.
A picture of Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein (who can pull out of anything and anyone) doing a pose reminiscent of American Gothic, standing in front of an old home holding a rake.
