Technically, a dictionary is a book of spells.

Double-screen hoops tonight!

BioWare's shutting down. :( May end up better for the IPs long term, but feel terrible for all the developers.

That's how you do headlines and news. America, take note!

Check out Munchkin, art by John Kovalic & the writing team includes myself (Greg Marks) as lead & @nerdyalan.bsky.social, @elisateague.bsky.social, Adam Petkovic, @steveconley.bsky.social, David Barrentine, Devin Wilson, & Tommy Gofton. Art direction/layout by @richgreen01.bsky.social.

Huzzah! My AL adventure Trouble at Kobold Crown and two more new Murghôm adventures are available now on the DMs Guild :)

Gamehole Saturday! I'm at the Ghostfire Gaming booth this afternoon (starting now!) Come say hi if we haven't run into each other (and you'd like to)!

GameholeCon Friday was amazing! Played two great games, first trying out Night's Black Agents for the first time, then fulfilling a long-time dream to play Cypher with Monte Cook himself! Both games had awesome groups that clicked right away. Then hung out with great folks late into the night!

Gamehole - day 2ish? Ran a fun session of my Wardens of the Eastern Marches adventure to kick off the day, then played some Ptolus! Also got some great sushi at Red, hung out playing cards, and watching the ballgame.

Kicked off Gamehole Con in style with an amazing game of Microscope! We built a portal world, and also there was a hockey-playing duck somehow. With @alphastream.bsky.social @lyla.bsky.social @glyphtide.games @joeraso.bsky.social

When in Chicago... pizza and jazz with friends! Gamehole tomorrow.

Sitting outside on a warm Autumn day. My fave coffee spot turned out to be open despite the holiday. Nothing to do today but minor edits on some work, then pack for Gamehole.

It's almost gamehole time just one more day of twiddling thumbs at home before I set off. Can't wait to play games and catch up with friends.

Only 5 hours left to back Underworld – I'm really proud of the work I've done for this cool setting book for #dnd and Tales of the Valiant www.kickstarter.com/projects/kob...

And another one of my creations is out in the wild!

Among the many many cool thingses in October's D&D Beyond Drops, is another encounter I worked on, this time it's the Scene Prep for the "Ooze There" map. These are like drop-in mini-adventures, all fully inside Maps. www.dndbeyond.com/posts/2252-d...

David's an excellent adventure designer, layout artist, and cartographer. Check out his new dnd adventure!

I need to decide exactly how many stickers of this I am going to buy.

"Wait, what the fuck am I saying?"

Bite-Sized Gaming - back before it was acquired WoGD - gave me a couple of my early writing opportunities. I'm so sad to see a name I think of so fondly be associated with that guy and all this douchebaggery and AI slop. why do people....grrr.

Went to local board game night yesterday and had a great time playing Gallieo Galilei! I've been meaning to get out and do more public play, and board games seem an easier fit than ttrpgs right now.

I'm excited to be playing Deadfall! This is my first sizeable D&D campaign in while. Can't wait to see what the wizards (red and coasty) have cooked up. I'll be playing my Changeling (mostly) Artificer.

Important news!

Lol

From the first game to the last of the season! Already renewed pur tickets for next year. Go Tempo!

Random thought: I wonder if people whose dating profile shows them lounging on a boat are aiming to imply that they're looking for a someone with a boat or imply that they own a boat.

Arcana Unleashed: Deadfall is out on general release today and I'm in the credits!

You will be assimilated! Wait, wrong borg with ships. Ehm..."Get boarded harder than a #1 comic book issue?" "Prepare to master your harbour?" Anyhoo, none of those stupid jokes made it into this product. I hope. So sign up.

I'm stuck in an empty airport for a few hours (my own fault, sortted out.) And this clesning droid comes rolling along, and it's the most sci-fi life has ever felt.

Last day spent in New Brunswick yesterday, the notables of the day were these fairy-tale-sized mushrooms. (And yes, i know they're the bad kind, still look neat.)

On vacation, but swung by the FLGS - as one does. This time it's Heroes Beacon in Saint John. They have a great ttrpg selection, and I grabbed a copy of Arcana Unleashed.

Arcana Unleased with Amanda Hamon! Amanda joins us to discuss the Arcana Unleashed products she led – the process, the design, and the exciting contents of both books! Listen or watch: masteringdungeons.podbean.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=lD47... #DnD #TTRPG

On today's episode of "Roadside Disappointments"...

I don't usually take bathroom selfies, but when I do...

Look, if someone's going to create "agents" to accost me, i'd like to be able to create assassins to hunt down and kill those agents. Wait, are we living in the matrix now?

On today's episode of "Small Wins" - Freedom Domain designed and tweeted out by D&D team, not the white house.

There's a bunny on the grass...

Zero Company, I barely knew ya. Great times and very Star Warsy moments in the last few missions too. If you're also done, and want more tactical goodness, check out: Top Pick: Cyber Knights (probably best in genre) Midnight Suns Lamplighters League Mutant Year Zero Jagged Alliance 3 Showgunners

Look, there's no wrong way to play a game. But if this is not your favourite character in Zero Company...
