Watched Brand New Day with my parents today. Here are some spoiler-free quotes from them: "Why does Spider-Man have electronics?" "Is Kobe McGuire in this one?" "Shia LaBeouf was my favorite Spider-Man." (loud whisper during an emotional scene) "ASK HIM IF HE WANTS ANY SODA." *cup rattling*

See you next year, #GenCon! I had a great time. Congratulations to all the Ennie nominees and winners, and thank you to everyone who stopped by the D&D Tower—I hope you found it as magical as I did. Special thanks to my dragon handlers, who helped me cast Shapechange on Saturday evening! #WOTCstaff
Will and Stacey are fantastic designers. It has been a genuine pleasure working with them, and I'm eager for you all to see what we've been cooking up together. ❤️ #dnd #WOTCstaff
Can’t wait for Greyhawk fans to get their claws into this adventure! Stacey and I penned this one with Justice, and also provided many of the maps. dungeonsanddragonsfan.com/greyhawk-cro...
James and Wes are two of the brightest minds in the TRPG industry. They are also two of the nicest and most hardworking people I know. If you're going to be at Gen Con, come and learn from them! I get to every day, and it's a real treat. :-) #dnd #WOTCstaff
One thing I’m doing at Gen Con: talking with Wes. Which I do all the time. But this time you get to listen in! And even ask questions! www.dungeonsanddragons.com/gen-con/

I got a new keyboard and desk mat at work, and I am very excited about it. Also, the office snack of the month is Dunkaroos. Everyone is excited about that.
I would like to share a picture of my cozy writer setup at a Somalian cafe this weekend. ⌨️☕

Spoilers below for Turn of Fortune's Wheel! I was dusting off some old files on my reMarkable when I came across this map sketch I did for Planescape: Adventures in the Multiverse a few years ago. You might recognize it! #dnd #WOTCstaff
Congratulations to everyone over at @avantris.bsky.social on the astronomical success of Neon Odyssey on Kickstarter! The project looks out of this world. 🚀
I made it back to the states in one piece! What a wonderful trip. Shout-out to the Takenaka Carpentry Tools Museum in Kobe; it was one of the coolest museums I've ever visited. Here is me using a Japanese hand plane in the workshop there. Bonus picture of Osaka Castle, which was breathtaking.
The survey for the latest Unearthed Arcana, Villainous Options, is open! You can read this dastardly UA and tell us what you think of it here: www.dndbeyond.com/posts/2150-d... #dnd #WOTCstaff

Last year when I started my blues course, I also began working with an LA-based luthier to build a replacement for my electric guitar, whose weight was causing problems for my back. Not long ago, this wonderful Show Pony arrived at my musical lair, courtesy of Tone Ranger Guitars. She's pretty!
Nowruz piruz, friends. May this year bring you peace, joy, and rebirth. ❤️
I'm at Gary Con representing with the D&D team this weekend! Here's where you can find me: Friday @ 11am: Autograph Table (Forum) Saturday @ 10am: D&D Past and Future Panel (Swinghurst) Various Hours: Melding with the friendly myconids beneath the Grand Geneva Resort #dnd #WOTCstaff
Sam and I are staying at a cozy little inn right now. If D&D has taught us anything, it's that a quest-giver could approach us at any moment...and the innkeeper has a secret. #WOTCstaff
Like many other Iranian Americans, I spent much of yesterday glued to my phone. In the evening, however, I spontaneously volunteered to man a "bluegrass petting zoo" for a few hours at an opry in Kenmore, WA. It was delightful to see people of all ages interact with instruments for the first time.
Another year, another #Wintergrass! Last February, I was too shy to play with other musicians at this festival. This year, however, I formed a jam circle with other members of the Outlanders Progressive Bluegrass Social Club along with a few spontaneous recruits! It was really special.
It's a great time to join the D&D Studio! We have two open roles on the D&D Game Design Team as of this week: Game Design Manager Game Editor You can apply to these and other roles within the Wizards Tower here: careers.hasbro.com/careers?quer... #dnd #WOTCstaff
D&D themed cake I made for my kid. Chocolate cake, chocolate mousse filling, chocolate cremeux, American buttercream. I had way to much fun with the burnt sugar flames.
Hold that Dimension Door! We have one more new Game Designer on the team. Taylor is the latest member of our adventuring party. 🧙 It has been wonderful to expand our already incredible team of designers with a few new faces. I can't wait for you to see the circle magic we're cooking up. #WOTCstaff
"A wizard is never late, nor is she early. She arrives precisely when she means to." I am thrilled to let y'all know I'm joining #WotCStaff as a Game Designer for the Dungeons and Dragons team! This move starts a new chapter in my life and I am so excited to see what adventures await me 💜
As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today. ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.
The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
We recently added a few new faces to our adventuring party, and Erin is one of them! I first worked with Erin on Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel. I was amazed by her keen sense of narrative and worldbuilding then, and she's done a ton of great work since. We're lucky to have her! #WOTCstaff
Finally got around to updating ye olde profile page with some fun news: I’ve joined Wizards of the Coast as a Game Designer for Dungeons & Dragons. Much love to everyone who has been part of my journey through TTRPG writing and design land so far – excited to see what this new chapter brings!
My heart and mind are with the brave people of Iran tonight and always. May they soon have freedom, dignity, and peace. 💚🤍❤️
