I Love Narrative First Games

It’s Tuesday, my Sabbatical has begun, and my brain is having some difficulty grasping the concept. But it’s quiet, I’ve got coffee, and misfiring brain cells are screaming to be heard. These are random TTRPG thoughts.

My Favorite Games (2025 Update)

My best-performing video over the past year has been My Favorite Games. Well, I’ve played a number of new games since I posted that video, so I thought it was time for an update.

We Play Different Games

I am three days away from Sabbatical, tomorrow is July 4th, and Senator Murkowski of Alaska voted for a bill she knows will hurt Americans across the country but because she got some treats for Alaska its fine if the rest of the country burns. I’ve got a headache and the “stop shoving your politics…

The Scheduler Strikes

School is out, I’m three weeks from the start of my sabbatical, and we’re apparently living in a reality TV show which shows how fast insecure people can set the world on fire. But I’ve got coffee, games to play, family I love, and friends I value. Somehow these things help my brain cut through…

The More Things Change…

It’s June. Wildfire smoke is setting off air quality alerts, Covid is still a thing, and the director of Homeland security has said the troops are in LA to “liberate it” from its elected officials. The general sucky-ness of the world is causing my brain to want to shut down, but the darn thing keeps…

Are We The Bad Guys?

It’s June, my schedule is packed, and Summer heat has arrived. As I navigate my way through end of school year chaos my brain attempts to escape through hibernation mode. Force reboots, sparked by coffee, triggers odd moments of cognition. These are random TTRPG thoughts.

Many Dice Were Rolled

It’s Memorial Day in the US, I’ve had multiple events going on the past couple of days, and I’ve not been sleeping great. Between feeling drowsy and the full schedule I’m rather grumpy, but I have coffee and so my brain is waking up anyway. These are random TTRPG thoughts.

So Many Games

It’s morning, I’m sipping coffee, and something in the back of my head is telling me that I’ve forgotten to do everything I need to do. To settle my misbehaving synapses I’m guiding their random firings to more pleasant destinations—probably forgetting to do more tasks in the process. These are random TTRPG thoughts.

Mishaps

Temperatures are rising, allergies are subsiding, and coffee is getting expensive. While I can still afford to have caffeine as part of my regular boot-up sequence I’m enjoying the random flashes of cognition which convince my mind it’s lucid. These are random TTRPG thoughts.

Moments of Affirmation

It’s May. The sandpaper I’ve had in my eyes for the past two months is beginning to fade, and my allergy-triggered anxiousness has been reduced to a quiet simmer. The coffee has been brewed, and as the morning quiet gives me pause my brain begins its daily routine of chasing shiny objects. These are random…
