  • Extra Life (Solo) TTRPG Weekend

    I had intended to run games during Extra Life’s official Tabletop Weekend a few weeks ago but health issues got in the way. But every weekend can be Tabletop Weekend if you believe. So join me April 26-28 for my Extra Life Solo TTRPG Weekend! I’m playing solo TTRPGs and chatting, most importantly I’m raising…

  • Solo Saturday Part Two!

    This past Saturday was Solo Saturday the First! By every metric I care about it was a rousing success: folks came by and engaged, I had returning viewers, some of the creators dropped by at various points, money was donated to Extra Life, I got new followers, and I played four excellent games. It was…

  • Solo Saturday!

    Tomorrow, starting at 10am MST/Noon EST, I am playing eight hours of Solo TTRPGs in support of Extra Life! There will also be chatting, and prize giveaways, and stuff. “Oo, stuff! Tell us more about the Stuff, Brent!” I will, I promise, but let’s take things in order. Games! Picking up from where I left…

  • New Plan!

    Okay, so last Saturday was Extra Life Game Day and my plan to stream Solo TTRPGs went amazing! For the first six hours. Then a migraine showed up and ruined the party for everyone. Obviously this bummed me out for a bit. But I am not one to roll over and give up. So I…

  • Solo Plans for Extra Life

    While my summer plans for Extra Life faltered, my fall plans are going strong! As I laid out in my plan, September and October I am streaming evenings of solo TTRPGs. Some games I have played before, some are new to me, but it’s just going to be me, the game, and chat. I plan…

  • Extra Magic for Extra Life

    Donate $10 through my Extra Life page and I’ll make that $10 work forever. Let me explain. (If you want to skip my meandering and hear the plan, scroll down to The Plan, below) I was mulling over copy for my Extra Life tweets and emails and I remembered those tweets that usually go something…

  • Planning for my Extra Life

    I teased some of my goals and plans for Extra Life 2022 in a previous post. Since I have done a bunch of free-range scribbling in my planning notebook, let’s take a slightly more detailed look at what I’m thinking for this year. This post (which was originally a thread on Twitter) will help me…

  • Catching my Extra Life

    Catching my Extra Life

    Ten years ago I decided to take part in my first Extra Life. I didn’t consider it a huge step at the time. I had taken part in local fundraisers for various children’s charities, I figured doing something with games to help sick kids was a natural fit. That first year was a bit rough;…

Stay tuned through the rest of the month, both there and her, for more magic item goodness! And keep your eyes here for some exciting Extra Life 2021 announcements!…

  • Another Solar Orbit Day

    Yep, today is my solar orbit day, or “birthday” as you huma–us, us humans, haha, call it. It’s hard for me to gauge how the past year went, as a global pandemic tends to skew the results. All in all I would chalk it up a win on points after a thorough review of the…
