Well ok then #portfolioday! I'm a fantasy cartographer and illustrator of strange places, who usually finds himself contributing to tabletop games and the like.

Recruiting players for a Pathfinder 2e campaign based on the Dragonlance Chronicles. New players welcome, LGBTQ+ and allies demanded. 😀 Friend-and-family style game, run by a GM who's a dad and acts like it. groupfinder.gg/list/krynn-c...

groupfinder.ggKrynn: Choked by Black ThornsCenturies ago, the gods of the world known as Krynn abandoned their children. As they left, they ripped the lands asunder in what we now know as the Cataclysm, with few records remaining of the times....

Having had problems recruiting people for my previous game, I'm in the process of converting the #Dragonlance modules into #DungeonCrawlClassics. This is for a friends and family casual game which happens to be online, and I'm looking for more friends to join the table. Especially new Trans friends.

Tika Waylan perfectly explains how the zero-level funnel works. Barmaid with Frying Pan (as Club) for her starting weapon. Probably a bottle of Otik's Brown as a trade good. Has an old ring from her father as a random piece of equipment. Forced into adventure to survive; took Warrior at Level 1.

For some reason, though, they looked at her history - a 10 year old working at a tavern in a single town for a decade - and said, "Yes, this is a 6th level character." Which is the origin of my love of the zero-level funnel.

Tomorrow is now! Looking for something to do on a Wednesday night? Join me in playing Seeds of Renewal by @zeruhur.bsky.social - a #solarpunk #solorpg about sharing knowledge between people. 6:30pm Pacific Time - so half an hour from this posting!

Tomorrow is Wednesday, and it's a #SoloRPG ScreamingWyvern Stream night. Seeds of Renewal by @zeruhur.bsky.social is a "Solarpunk" game about seeking truth for a better future decades after the apocalypse. Join me Wednesdays at 6:30pm Pacific, Twitch and YouTube - www.youtube.com/live/KCuBTgp...

Me, 30 minutes into the stream: Guys, TikTok didn't block the stream by claiming community violations that didn't exist! Despite my trans colors everywhere, my Pride flag, my Protect Trans Kids... TikTok, 1 minute later: Oh, crap, our bad... your content is dangerous, go away.

Need to find the magical website where I can find all the trans people who are interested in learning to play TTRPGs, wish their middle-aged dad was their game master, and wish there were more dungeons in the Dungeons and Dragons actual plays.

Ok, to be fair, I have found a couple of places where trans gamers hang out, but the last thing I want is to bounce into them without being invited. So I guess, "Need to be officially invited to the magical website." :)

Due to the day just getting so frustratingly STUPID, Seeds of Renewal will have to wait for Wednesday, September 30 at 6:30pm Pacific.

It's almost Wednesday, I'm back from vacation, and tomorrow's #solorpg stream will be Seed of Renewal by @zeruhur.bsky.social - a solarpunk journaling game where I'll be trying to find knowledge from the past for the people of the future. Join me at 6:30pm Pacific: www.youtube.com/live/KCuBTgp...

For the record: I got a heart monitor this morning because a cardiologist I was referred to didn't believe my decade-long atrial fibrillation was actually a thing. TWO HOURS LATER she calls me in the "professional panicked" voice. Every BIPOC, woman, and trans person knows what I mean.

Heavily estranged father passed away last night, and now my sister needs help with the paperwork. Not looking forwards to sympathy when I ask for a day off to do that, and frustrated that I should go to a service next week to comfort a mum who barely talked to me when the family visited last week. 😠

To celebrate an absolute failure of a Halloween One-Shot in Pathfinder years ago, I want to stream a spoopy game in October. Last year was Dead by Daylight. Looking at SSI's Ravenloft: Strahd's Possession from 1994. But first to make sure it's not going to give me flashbacks to Deathkeep...

Back from vacationing in the other side of the US. Promised my wife we'd do a bookstore crawl - visited five independent Maryland bookstores in one day, two of which were used bookstores. We did a pretty good job remembering we were just on vacation - we only spent $70 to ship half our books home.

#solorpg fans! It's Wednesday Night, and time for ScreamingWyvern's Solo RPG Stream at 6:30pm Pacific on Twitch and YouTube! With their mech on the verge of destruction, a brave freedom fighter makes a last stand to try and bring hope to the future they'll never see.

Vacation starts Thursday, so why don't I stream a tragedy Wednesday? Battlelogue: Farewell is a #solorpg by @catscratcherdev.bsky.social - you are a mech pilot making their final stand, which will lead to a future you won't see. Join me Wednesday at 6:30pm PDT! youtube.com/live/AqS0PoF...

New "Thanks You Too" found. Picked up jeans at the local grocery-and-department store. Was taking the clothes out so I didn't carry them around when I was buying food. Security guard: Have a good day! Me: Thanks! Nearly called my wife: "Sorry, I told the security guard I was done for the day!"

Okay if I can't convince you to buy my stuff maybe I can convince you to follow me? Baby is so close to 3K and that doesn't cost you anything. I promise the estrogen is only making me hotter so it'll be worth it...

It's #solorpg Wednesday! I built this beautiful map in Dungeon Map Maker; tonight, I choose an adventurer to explore it and defeat all the monsters! Of which there are a lot. Specifically in one room. Join me at 6:30pm PDT on Twitch or YouTube! Play along - www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

Then, next week, on September 2nd, it's Dungeon Map Maker by www.doopygames.com (which includes art by @ways-unseen.bsky.social who is amazing.) I have a carefully designed map, and now I'll be taking a brave explorer through to kill all the monsters. Hopefully. youtube.com/live/ePQrISr...

Add me to the list of people who feel like their "real dad" just died. I hate to reduce a person with such a long career to a single character, but that character was so important to 10 year old me. What a stupid, exhausting week.

My Dachshund, Coal, is not a snuggler usually, probably connected to being neglected for the first third of his life. So imagine my surprise this morning when I reached over to hold my wife's arm while she slept and instead grabbed an entire fuzzy snoot. Imagine his surprise as well.

It's important to note that I will be shilling for Beth and Angel's housing bundle as much as possible because the reasons why each are currently unhoused are literally nightmares I've had about how I treat my daughter, so I might have kind of adopted them. As happens sometimes.

Hey, so writers of #solorpg books, Beth and Angel, are out on the street because of transphobia, so I'm adding my voice to the list of people who are pointing you to itch.io/b/3855 - I've been told that they're getting 100% of the profit.

Screaming Wyvern streamed Imparting Fables on YouTube by @unbirthdayangel.bsky.social and I, and there's a recording! It was very clever and creative, funny, and I loved the sharing of our designer's notes about it too. He played through it twice, the second time with a special guest! 🧡

Once Upon A Time, @beth-and-angel-make-games.itch.io made a #solorpg journaling game based on the spiritual journey that was the origin of Chutes and Ladders. Join me Wednesday at 6:30pm Pacific on Twitch and YouTube to see if I can learn the morals needed to ascend! youtube.com/live/dTWGn-6...

WELL THANK GOD I started the day with a rant about how quickly I’ll consider creators dead to me because of ONE writer, glad I can save time and add an a favorite actor, wouldn’t want to go too long without wanting to scream into the mattress…

Seanan McGuire@seananmcguire.bsky.social

Nicholas Hoult doesn't need Harry Potter, or Harry Potter money. Please, sir, consider your future, your fans, and your reputation, which took years to build and could burn in a moment.

This is probably the fourth? Fifth? Male creator that I follow and respect who turned out to actually be a woman. Since my “son” was also actually a woman, am I somehow social media estrogen?

I've been making changes in my personal life that I haven't spoken very publicly on, but one thing I do want to be public is that my close friends call me Bea now. And if any of you want to call me Bea or B, that would make me very happy. <3 But no pressure, I won't be upset if I hear Martin.
