Ran a wild game of Tarot RPG last night. It was a ton of fun & mixing decks was a new level of chaos for me!😆 Thanks again to the wonderful crew who hired me for the eve! (if anyone here wants to do the same, I have a profile & games listed with @roughmagicrpg.bsky.social 💜)
I'll be there running Tarot RPG and popping into a few GM roundtable chats (I love talking worldbuilding, mental health, creative practices, homebrews, dragons)

Same, though I'm mostly running games now (with @roughmagicrpg.bsky.social). We decided to run counter-programming in Chicago and also make it a mutual aid benefit thing, which has been fun (if stressful) to help plan!
Sen@dresdencodak.com · 6mo agoJust FYI, you won't see me at the big ReedPop conventions (ECCC, SDCC, C2E2, NYCC, etc) because their parent company is infamous for feeding people's data to ICE. Honestly it wasn't a hard call, half these shows put all the artists in haunted basements now anyway bleedingcool.com/pop-culture/...
Overheard just now: I love this weather, it makes me want to go frolicking! Honestly, same
I know her! Seriously though, I got the chance to do some sensitivity reading for Shannon a few years ago and absolutely fell in love with this universe she'd written. Also? I made this cover! 😊

At every turn, Rough Magic has shown me that I'm in the right place, with the right people. I'm a little sad because C2E2 is where I met all these folks for the first time in person, but more so I'm excited for what's to come 💜
Rough Magic Games@roughmagicrpg.bsky.social · 6mo agoBig news from us regarding this year's C2E2 (and why we're not only not going, but putting on our own event - more on that to come!)
This. 100% this. Your appreciation helps push back the negative thoughts that like to creep in and say everything we do is trash and nobody likes it or us
Youngles 🇰🇷🔜PAX Unplugged@youngles.bsky.social · 6mo agoHey. Tell people when they do good job. When you like the stuff they make. When you like the characters they’ve created. The stories they’ve told. Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time. Trust. They don’t. Tell. Them.

fun fact: you can’t spell “painting” without “pain,” but that’s super arbitrary and you can totally paint for joy too. duh.
The more I see, the more it looks like 2026 told 2025 to hold its beer.
Awful upon awful, the depths of evil on display are bottomless
