I Was Confused

My last overnight trip of the Summer has ended, I have purchased more whole bean coffee from roasters near my trip destinations than I have room to store, and it’s going to rain all week. But today I got out for coffee and uninterrupted reading, I returned to a quiet house, and my brain experienced…

Imposter Syndrome

We’re living in a “heat dome” here in the Delaware Valley, I’m two Sundays away from the start of my Sabbatical, and I’ve been in solitude most of this week. The coffee’s been all mine, and my brain is tingling with a strange sensation. These are random TTRPG thoughts.

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…

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.

My Friends Leveled UP!

May 1, 2025. The trees continue their campaign to make my life miserable. My coffee is brewed, though, so my synapses are fighting back. In the endless neurological skirmish, as the sparks fly and my synapses are triggered by friend and foe alike, explosions of thought cut through the fog. These are random TTRPG thoughts.

In the Queue

It’s the week after Easter Sunday and I’m on vacation! On the other hand, my late-season cold is hanging on and the trees are still trying to kill me. The coffee helps my brain to pretend it’s organized for a time. These are random TTRPG thoughts.

Scratching Itches

It Tuesday, coffee is jolting my nervous system out of standby mode, and the allergy-induced sandpaper in my eyes isn’t as coarse as it has been. These are random TTRPG thoughts.

Lost In a Good Book

Temperatures have been pleasant, the sun has been out, and the trees continue their nefarious campaign to cause as much misery in my body as possible. And yet I have coffee, so the allergy-induced brain fog is not absolute. As my brain continues to make saving throws with loaded dice I get sparks of normal…
