Feeling better now! Might record a promo short begging listeners for CRiT Award votes? (Probably silly when our esteemed competition all have way more followers. But what a hag can do, a hag must do.)
Dreadful news Dearest Listeners: due to another convention hex, this week's episode will be delayed a week. (Actually...due to a previous convention hex as well! It was partially recorded the day after PAX Unplugged 2025, and Asteria was so sick she had to cancel mid session.) 1/2
Oh look, delayed con crud! My face is full of snot.
I have just discovered that Gmail has a "Manage Subscriptions" function and I am LOCKED IN.
And now we pause from our harried attempts to market and web...for a trip to church. It's been awhile.
Work is slow today--can I trick my brain into thinking I'm my OWN assistant? Maybe I'll actually do stuff like "go through the cards and contacts I got at GenCon" and "send those emails to people who said I should." ...or I'll stare hazily at the NYT Spelling Bees I skipped.
As is the trend...I can't believe I don't have more GenCon photos. Life comes atcha fast.
Um how did I forget to post the most important GenCon image? The one @chaoticbeautiful.bsky.social made for/of me. Y'know. "Me." The one in my head.
It's dangerous to go alone. Take this (the key to the locked up deodorants at CVS)
Now @darringtonpress.bsky.social please do not forget my humble demand for Fear Mommy merch. #forlornelykona
So glad we made the ENNIE Awards last night and saw Daggerheart win Gold for Best Game (amongst other wonderful wins and winners). We've loved DH from jump, and it's been a great joy getting to know the folks behind it and see such beautiful people...critting so hard. No other way to put it. More!
Why, when I go to bed in socks, do I always wake up with the left one off??? What do I do in my sleep? Is my right foot a bully, and as soon as I'm unconscious says, "socks are for closers!" and toes it off?
I have already dropped my #hopeandfear book on the floor and damaged the corner. It's home for real! #daggerheart
Attention all #Daggerheart lovers! Nay, TTRPG lovers generally! My AP podcast has been nominated for a Best Series CRiT Award. It's the only Daggerheart nominee...but winners are based on community vote, and the D&D nom has WAY MORE followers than the others. Hmm... linktr.ee/critawards

A noble, mysterious #Daggerheart ancestry. Folklore tells us they descend from the fabled #Jimothy, of the Emerald West; by outsiders Palrakhis are usually seen alone, but always seen with joy.
Oh my goodness. That is me. wuuuuut.
Wow. We are...speechless. We hoped we'd get some Darrington noms, but we never, ever imagined we'd be one of four finalists for Best Series. Of the whole year! Thank you @critawards.bsky.social for taking the time to get to know us. Such esteemed company. Guess we should keep making this thing.
Every time I see one of these looksmaxxers I think of this sketch and how perfectly they cast the guy at the end. Why do looksmaxxers not have eyes. youtu.be/0pufATqebv8?...

If the Pope excommunicated me, I would simply reject it. What's he gonna do, excommunicate me? I'm already rejecting it.
oh boy now they've gone and done it
In case anyone is wondering how I "clocked" Platner, it was the fact that he is a literal mercenary with a Nazi tattoo. Maybe keep that in your back pocket
If I had a billion dollars, I'd waste MY braindead lucre making fancy clothes secretly comfortable. Forget this "boring sweatshirt but expensive" bullshit; ball gowns are now made of pajama and power suits have a thermostat. Scientists will go mad trying to forge me a chic no-sweat summer boot.
If I had a billion dollars I'd hire Menswear Guy and listen to him, except when I'm grilling or on the beach, and then I'd just wear shirts/jerseys from sports teams I like.
"Oh so there's no path to redemption?" Sure there is. Most paths to redemption don't run through the U.S. Senate, though. Go, live a good life. Farm oysters. Diminish and go into the East and be an always improving Graham Platner. Do not be a Senator. And remove that fucking tat.
Here's my Platner TikTok from 4 months ago. Commenters did not engage with my points, naturally. They mostly just said he was better than boring old Janet Mills. (And a few said I'd been paid to post it, which...I wish! GOD someone please pay for my words/thoughts.) www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Gx4ReB/
I mean I guess if Susan Collins gave you a bamboozle kink #politics #grahamplatner #janetmills #maine #senate

Today in, "I'm the only person who remembers the years 2006-2016," I've been informed that no one liked Barack Obama.

Happy X-Men '97 Day to all who celebrate.
Spoiler Alert: I answered it anyway. Check out my 8 or so replies on how Daggerheart combat works.
I can answer most of this if anyone wants to know.
