A cashier just addressed me as ‘ma’am’ (and repeated it when I didn’t react right away!), so I’m gonna just discorporate into a cloud of gender euphoria for a while. 💖
Raven of the Omens
@ostentatiouscorvid.northsky.social
Play 13 Omens: Bequeathed with me at GenCon!!! Recently-hatched mid-40s AuDHD transbian gamer (she/her). Finder of Paths and Stars, Fountain City Lodge. Abettor, (Unofficial) Wheel Of Monsters Multitable Special. Intender Of Puns, Subscriber of Lambatuin.
I did my civic duty and voted in the primary, as Abadar teaches. Now back to gleefully and wantonly ignoring those teachings till the general in November.
Man goes to see the Cyclops. Says he's depressed. He wants to get back to his wife and home, but he keeps running into fatal predicaments along the way. Cyclops says, "Prognosis is simple. Nobody can help you." Man starts crying. Says, "But Cyclops, I *am* Nobody"
I mean, as a former library worker, I *know* the reason is confidentiality (libraries take that **** SERIOUSLY!)… but I like the implication that they regard “barbwritesstuff” as a supernatural entity better. 😆🧛♀️🐦⬛
Damn, this made me chuckle.😆
Raven of the Omens will return in… Avengers: Doomsday
Very pumped to see Absalom Station! I wrote a bunch of stuff for this: - Aspis Consortium faction - corporate items and augmentation (my fave item, data mines, one tine use hacking devices) - Jatembe Park (I looooved working on this) - corporate agents/enemies
Oh yeah! Forgot to follow this up! Loved, loved, LOVED this #Starfinder adventure, from the extended, tension building opening (one player referred to ‘Mass Effect 2 vibes’), to the frantic initial action, to the battles within the Wreck… (1/2)
They misspelled “Strawberry Machine Cake Waffle” as “Cheesecake”, but I’m still eating it in my #Skittermander shirt to GM #Starfinder tonight. Cause everyone loves Skittermanders! #FinalGambitPartOne
Harrison Ford, the actor behind loveable scoundrels Han Solo and Indiana Jones, started his career as an on-set carpenter. That makes him a roguelike deckbuilder.
#13Omens: You’ll probably die… but at least it will be narratively satisfying!
I died again!!! But it was narratively satisfying which is all that matters! 🥰

If you’re in the Sag, worth stopping by to try the Demo, or Bequeathed, a full-length story, including character creation. I dunno if there’s available seats, but I heard we added tables due to high demand (Also, both books on sale in Sag store as well!) #GenCon #13Omens
It's really weird to have a game i designed releasing at Gen Con and not be there to see it. Hope folks are enjoying 13 Omens. If you're at Gen Con, swing by the Paizo booth (203) to grab a copy, and if not, you can get the pdfs at 13omens.com And you know... let me know what you think?
Can confirm! As a testimonial to the physical zine versions; as a #GenCon #13Omens Host, I’ve had access to both these pdfs for a couple months. They’re really good if digital is your thing… but I didn’t hesitate to snap up physical copies at my first free moment.
Hello! It has been brought to my attention that you can now get the 13 Omens Preview and adventure Bequeathed PDFs, together for $5, at 13omens.com! Check your email when you buy, because it doesn't go to the regular paizo.com downloads page. If you're at Gen Con, make sure you grab the zine copies!
No professional accomplishment has ever made me happier than this. theonion.com/translator-o...

13 Omens is a totally new type of project from Paizo, with no rules relation to anything we've ever published before. It's a love letter to the horror genre (which the team adores) and to all the cool small-format TTRPGs out there, which we love but haven't previously gotten a chance to work on.
This ain’t market copy, folks—conventional wisdom from Pathfinder/Starfinder is NOT going to be particularly helpful here, and might even work against you. Also… you know how often horror movies have the entire main cast survive to the end? That’s right, almost never. Prepare for that possibility.

Hey if you are going to Gen Con, do me a favor and make sure you check out the new rules-light horror TTRPG I'm edit lead on: 13 Omens! We put together a preview rulebook and adventure for the show, which we're not selling anywhere else. Find it at the Paizo booth.
If you’re able to play it (either the 1-hr demo, or the three-hr full story), you may get me as your Host, and I promise I am being very *extra* about it. (As are most/all the GenCon Hosts, if our group Discord is anything is anything to go by).

This. When librarians shred books, it’s because *literally nobody wants or has a use for them*. They don’t get checked out. The Friends Of the Library or equivalent can’t sell them. They’re in terrible condition or drawn from vastly excessive printings of overhyped books from once-quality… (1/2)
The posters saying "wait till you hear how many books the librarians shred" are being disingenuous. The destruction of books is not by itself what's causing outrage. It's in combination with many other factors, chief among them AI companies' history of unethical and even blatantly illegal actions.
*singing* "Well I would cast 500 Toads / and I would cast 500 more / just to be the mage that cast a thousand / toads down your dungeon trap door"
Goblin Sorcerer: "FIVE HUNDRED TOADS! ANNOY! THAT! WIZARD!" Wizard: "Wait wha- WHAT?" Toads: ~just absolutely toadin'~
We made swarms of frogs to represent the #Pathfinder2e spell “500 Frogs” and it turned out far better than I ever imagined. Also, if you aren’t familiar with this spell, it’s perfect.
