  • What I’m Watching

    Happy Friday! Congratulations on making it through another week, you absolute legend! Continuing to talk about things in the TTRPG space that I enjoy, let’s look at some shows I am watching that I think you should feast your eyes upon. I tend to watch shows on both YouTube and Twitch, with Twitch making up…

  • Hanging Out in Salt Bay

    If you normally come by for my shitposts on the state of the TTRPG hobby/industry, I’m not done with those. But lord love a kitten, does it get wearying to just talk about things that are broken. So today I want to talk about something I love: Pirates of Salt Bay on Saving Throw. If…

  • Done Waiting

    Like many of you, I read Orion’s statement about their being let go from Wizards of the Coast and their treatment while they were employed there. And I feel what many of you feel: anger, disappointment, sadness…a mix of feelings that, for me at least, add up to rage. And that’s what I had intended…

  • Waiting for the Roar

    The round of atrocities which have led to wide-spread protests in support of #BlackLivesMatter and defunding police, also caused the TTRPG industry to take a hard look at its history of systemic anti-Black racism. Many companies, streamers, and other hobby notables were quick to show their support, helping to raise funds and outlining tangible ways…

  • Where I’m at with #FireMikeMearls

    I was going to write another #FireMikeMearls tweet but I felt like I needed a bit more room today, so you get a post instead. I’m not going to spend time summarizing the situation. By now you are either familiar with what’s going on or you aren’t. If you are a summary is wasted space…

  • #ReadIndieRPGs Master Post

    I was cross posting my #ReadIndieRPGs videos here up until about Day Twelve. I stopped because I knew I was going to do a master post, listing everything I read with links to the videos and the games. It seemed to me a master post with everything in one place would be more useful to…

  • Over at The Rat Hole

    No, I didn’t skip a day. You will find #ReadIndieRPGs Day Six over at The Rat Hole.

  • Life in the Time of COVID

    I had been meaning to write about a great many things. And then life, as it so often does, took a turn. As I am typing this I am in my second week of isolation at home. I’m lucky, in that my employer issued a work from home order early in the isolation process, so…

  • Extra Life All Year!

    I have been pretty vocal about my support of Extra Life over the years. I have taken part in the 24 hour game day every year for the past seven years, and I have been successful at hitting my fundraising goals. Last year I stepped things up a bit and created The Hedgicorn as a…

  • My Devilish Good Looks

    I’m working on some posts, but wanted to share this wonderful piece from my buddy Jeff Martin (@HEATComic). As part of backing his Hell, Inc Kickstarter I got a Hell, Inc Staff Portrait. Welcome, Devil Brent! Devil Brent (DB for short) runs the office TTRPG, and loves to switch editions on his players, sometimes mid-session.
