A few weeks ago (was it weeks? Maybe months. Perhaps decades) I posted a very self-indulgent post about rediscovering my TTRPG past, and as I should have expected, that sent me spiraling into the rabbit hole of just…a lot. It’s been my insulation. My security blanket. The source of a lot of sometimes blissful andContinue reading “What I learned this week about: 5th Edition”

What I reminisced about this week: TTRPG
Monday Eric sent me a text with a meme from a DnD group on Facebook (I think it was Facebook) with a cat sitting in front of a character sheet. The DM is saying that the adventurers have encountered a wizard, who has placed a chalice of some bubbling, smoking liquid on the table. AndContinue reading “What I reminisced about this week: TTRPG”
What I learned this week about Medieval dagger fighting
I’ll not get into why I needed to know this…just trust that it made sense at the time. And it wasn’t because I myself need to wield daggers. Fine. It’s because this year I am actually planning ahead of NaNo. I can’t say why. It went ok last year, when I had a flimsy sortContinue reading “What I learned this week about Medieval dagger fighting”
What I learned about this week: E3
Look at me, sticking with this idea of sharing the things I learn each….week….ish. And really, I’ve learned a lot this week. I’ve been studying for some exams, been setting up some new third party applications I haven’t used before. That’s cool. Know what’s even cooler? E3. E3 is infinitely cooler. To an extent, anyway.Continue reading “What I learned about this week: E3”
DnDF17 Episode 2: Everything must be dwarf
Previously on DnDF17… The members of Bacon Ipsum stared in growing horror at the flames consuming Moscone. Datatello’s concern heightened with each area he recognized, but his eyes focused on his own neighborhood, wondering if his sister, Erikuhl, was safe. Bakaryu had to use all of her mental discipline to stay put, seeing the glowContinue reading “DnDF17 Episode 2: Everything must be dwarf”
DnDF17: The adventure so far
Last week, on DnDF17 (some artistic liberties have been taken) The weary members of Bacon Ipsum wound through the streets of Moscone. They were silent, all of them thinking only of the destination and what would await them there – the best coffee in Forcelandia and payment for their efforts defeating what may or mayContinue reading “DnDF17: The adventure so far”
It’s that time again!
Last year I did a thing to help raise money for ExtraLife, and I introduced the world to Brunhilda Battlehammer, AKA Trailblazer, AKA my dwarf ranger character for DnDF16. I have news for you all… SHE IS BACK WITH A VENGEANCE! And by vengeance, I simply mean that I will be reprising this role for DnDF17!Continue reading “It’s that time again!”
Ready Admin One
Or what video games have taught me as a Salesforce admin (and consultant). I realize that this will come as a shock to almost 0% of my audience, but I like to play video games. Mostly long (100 hour plus) RPGs with rich stories, well-developed characters, or at least enough of one to mask the lackContinue reading “Ready Admin One”
Why I read Hawthorne
I’ve been thinking about this post for a while, putting it off because I couldn’t remember my professor’s name, and it made me sad. The things that are so important to us at certain times in our lives can be difficult to hold onto. It’s like another world, another Sam that existed, and I don’tContinue reading “Why I read Hawthorne”
GTD Newb
I didn’t make a huge announcement, but those that know me probably already know that I made a change and joined the team at Arkus, Inc. So hooray for that. //giphy.com/embed/WIg8P0VNpgH8Q via GIPHY One of the best things about starting with them is that they have a structured onboarding process, and it involves reading andContinue reading “GTD Newb”
