My physical therapist sent me a bunch of videos to demo the exercises he wants me to do, which is awesome & very helpful. Plus I greatly appreciate that none of the people in the videos are trying to smile or look upbeat, just serious face demos for serious face exercises!

A reminder to my Jewish friends:

Hanukkah starts Dec 18th. Make sure you get your candles soon so you don't have to last minute scramble. And it's time to start listening to Puppy for Hanukkah by Daveed Diggs every day: https://youtu.be/gbxyZAduGvY

What lovely timing! This gorgeous #Dragonlance gift from @Wizards_DnD came while I'm wearing my rainbow #dnd dragon shirt! I'm all dragons all day!

I'm excited to dig in!!

Did you know that both Silas and Robin from Children of Éarte are fans of Heroes of the Planes? There was a hint from an earlier episode, but Silas confirmed it in Ep 27 "Masters of the Train"! https://youtu.be/9aa2L1BrMlY

Wonder what other #dnd shows they enjoy...

Thank you to everyone on my timeline who was cautious & avoided dropping Black Panther: Wakanda Forever spoilers. I finally got to see that beautiful movie today, and enjoyed it without any spoilers rattling around in my brain. Time to listen to the soundtrack a few dozen times!

Got to paint my kobold drakewarden ranger this afternoon! I still need to find her a tiny drake to be by her side.

The CNE Extra Life marathon is about to begin & our #dnd game is up first!

Our adventure features DM Treavor with players Vee, Margaret, Dylan, Todd, and ME! It's a reunion of our game last year, except a few things might be different…

Welp...

I guess I'm spending the evening saying goodbye to Twitter while hoping to reconnect with other elseware.

Do you talk to the characters on screen when playing a video game? As if they can hear you and talk back?

Because apparently when I record video game footage I get into arguments with them.

[lukemckay]

I have yet to play this character, but I’ve made an NPC sheet for him.

November continues to be book month! I got a lovely package of Keith Ammann books, including the new How To Defend Your Lair!

I'm excited to spend some quality time curled up in comfy blankets, reading interviews, archivists, & TTRPG tactics!

What's on your reading list?
