This was an incredible GenCon that was WAY overbooked for me, but I can't think of a single thing I regret doing! I'll be back on the grind soon with new videos and the online Fey Train launch, but for now, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth or shared a kind word!

Ginny Di and Anjali Bhimani stand on stage at the D&D Tower theater, spekaing into microphones. There is a huge, red D&D ampersand sculpture in between them.Jacob from XPtoLevel3, Antonio from Pointy Hat, Ginny Di, and Felicia Day all set behind a table on stage, laughing and cheering.Ginny Di is visible in between the backs of two fans, visiting her booth for a meet and greet.The Ginny Di booth, featuring shelves of books and merchandise, with a larger banner visible in the background.

Will I be seeing you in Indianapolis this weekend? 🤩 You can visit ginnydi.com/events any time to see my schedule and the map to my booth. If you're interested in my D&D Talk with Anjali Bhimani or the "Bones of the Empire" vampire liveplay, reserve tix at gencon.com before they sell out!

Landlocked mermaid hacks: Put a black backdrop into a kiddie pool in the garage, shoot a bunch of photos, and stitch them together like a Photoshop Frankenstein's monster 🪡 (This is probably not a good hack, if we're being honest. I'm kind of shocked it worked out 😂) 🐟️ Tail by Finfolk Productions

i have a confession: i still haven’t turned past june on the calendar i keep by my sewing desk just because i love @ginnydi.com ‘s undertow image so much!! i think it’s my favorite in the calendar tho i have no idea what day in july it is now.

photo of the june page from ginny di’s dungeon dolls calendar featuring undertow the mermaid posed on an underwater playset background.

Another day, another collapsed D&D campaign 💀 What's the weirdest thing that's ever ended a campaign for you? I'm afraid the reason for this one is deeply normal: half the group moved away nearly at the same time. Although one is coming back, so maybe she will live to lute another day! We'll see.

Flower crowns: Cottagecore or cultcore, depending on context 💐 In last week's video, I invented my own folk horror D&D setting using the concept of Domains of Dread! It's got a spooky nature lady, it's got a plague, it even has etymological tomfoolery. Check it out: youtu.be/CeNfF3TKU8c

Pros of questioning a Kenku: holding up a shiny coin can make them remarkably accommodating Cons of questioning a Kenku: literally everything else (This is from this week's video! Check it out on YouTube: youtu.be/0th4akLdQLA)

When @legendsofavantris asked me to promote their new space opera D&D Kickstarter in last week's video, I was like, "can I dress up as the goblin egirl species?" and they were like "they're called glowblins" and I was like "whatever, I'm ordering a mesh top now" www.kickstarter.com/projects/leg...

Not all friends are D&D friends, but personally I want all the people I play D&D with to be people I want to be friends with. 🤷🏻‍♀️

it's been a rollercoaster lately 🥲 I traveled to LA to collaborate with Whitney Avalon. I joined the autoimmune girlies club. My flowers bloomed, my husband was wonderful, my cats were cute. All but one of these things was wonderful. And I dunno, 4 to 1 sounds like a pretty good ratio to me.

A brown cat, Fitz, sits in front of him on the table. A white cat, Pablo, stands next to him with his paws on his shoulder.

It's been years since I did any cosplay pin-ups and I miss it 😭 It might be time to break out the thigh-highs again...

Let's imagine I was in a Dungeon Crawler Carl situation and somehow survived. (I know, I know... suspend your disbelief!) What would I be like as a Game Guide? 🤔
