I am unbelievably touched that @dropout.tv titled my @dimension20.dropout.tv Adventuring Academy episode “A Duty of Care”

I’m overwhelmed today, but I want to circle back in a while to share the links to everyone & everything I cited. More soon.

starting last Silt i’ve been making seasonal playlists based on The Great Arc of the Year and I’ve been working on my last one, “ballads for breathe” tonight and i am deeply pleased with this section

The Glen Speech by the New Off-Broadway Cast of the Fantasticks
Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) by Green Day
Running Away Again (from Yazeba’s Bed & Breakfast by Naked Lake

Episode 16 of The Witches of Wederra Keep will come out next Tuesday, July 14. AND I've just started editing episode 19, the last episode of Act 2! If you're familiar with the game, episodes 20-22 will be The Offers, and the finale will be episodes 27-29. No true schedule, but it's in sight.

Seven-Part Pact will launch on Kickstarter July 14th, an auspicious day for powerful magic !! the game includes multiple decks of cards, including a deck of destinies wielded by the sage for determining the narrative future of the pact

the magus, one of the sage's destiny cards. an androgynous person with a circular disk on their chest, holding a stave and wearing a strange astronomical hat

if you’re at the Seattle Time Quangle show and want a cursed lil zine about making experimental elixirs, look for a Night Angel in a denim vest!

a tea and cherry stained zine that says: a cocktail making game that is far beyond tame its name i will declaim its….A ZIRK’S MESS
