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!

Got to meet up and chat with @ginnydi.com again this year! This is year 4! Hi 5 for next year's pic, Ginny? And also, grats on getting your own booth!
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!
What makes a tabletop game stick with you long after the campaign ends? Anjali Bhimani and I are gonna teach you five practical storytelling techniques for DMs and players! Join us at the D&D tower at GenCon or live on YouTube next Thursday: www.gencon.com/events/331756 🎟️
The Legends Society liveplay game is now officially ⚠️ SOLD OUT ⚠️ which means that there are only a few places you can still see me at GenCon: ✨ D&D Talks with Anjali Bhimani on Thursday ✨ "Bones of the Empire" liveplay on Friday ✨ My signings at booth #501 (Fri, Sat, Sun) Visit ginnydi.com/events!
Congrats to @felicia.day and The Guild for funding their FEATURE LENGTH FILM on Kickstarter like... immediately!! 😍 Here's a little throwback to my Codex cosplay to celebrate 🎉 (Not sponsored just excited!!) Here's the Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/fel...
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.
"Free pixie dust with purchase" would totally work on me, though. ✨ GenCon schedule: ginnydi.com/events Get your free Fey Train preview: ginnydi.com/feytrain
took some new friends to my old stomping grounds this weekend at the Colorado Renaissance Festival! 🏰
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.

In today's video, we dissect the incredible @aabria.bsky.social's technique of offering players bargains, which I have been obsessed with since we played together last year! Hint: It's more than "success at a cost" 👀 youtu.be/dzvw0PvFzeg
Can you believe it's Free RPG Day already?! This year, Doctors Without Borders is invited to the game table! Let's show them how good aligned tabletop gamers can be 🤗 tiltify.com/+free-rpg-da...
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
The reviews are in: Last week's video contains exactly the correct amount of etymological tomfoolery. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeNf...
Every season is spooky season if you try hard and believe in yourself 💀 ✨️ In today's video, we're building our own folk horror Domain of Dread! youtu.be/CeNfF3TKU8c
Would rather feel the looming dread of an owl espying me in the brush than the looming dread of admin work, honestly. At least then the elevated heart rate wouldn't feel so stupid!! 📸 Photo by @worldofgwendana.bsky.social
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...
Why haven't aliens visited our solar system yet? They looked up reviews and saw it only had one star 😞
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.
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...
don't look up "sin-eaters" if you want to get ANYTHING useful done today.
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? 🤔
