All manner of nerdery and geekery. Gaming. TTRPGS. Dogs. Environment. History. Dubliner. Queer. Trying to use more Irish - please feel free to correct me if I make mistakes! Apparently I talk a lot about folk music.

I’ve been to about 40 folk gigs in the last two years and have still never heard of Amble before they won the RTE Song of the Year thing last night. Just in case I ever come across as someone who knows what’s going on. I clearly don’t.

Tonight! Me! Dungeon & Dragon! Come watch!

By all accounts, Dave has put together a singularly (geddit?) entertaining dungeon (with a dragon inside).

Looks like we made it, look how far we’ve come, my baby. We mighta took the long way - we knew we’d get there someday.

Where to find the best spice bags in New York City, bb!

β€œWrite an email that says XYZ” I get. I don’t like it, but I get it. Whole-clothing a response to an email? I cannot imagine why this would be used, or who would use it.

Gmail AI’d a response to an email from my vet (I did not ask it to) and I just found the whole thing to be wildly inappropriate. Faking knowledge of how my dog is getting on with a medical issue - who wants this? An entirely fabricated response which contained zero factual information.

Yes, I am in a lot of physical discomfort after a trip to the hospital. But, I also have a massive guacamole stain on the front of my pants!

This is how we stay winning.

In a world becoming more and more dominated by AI content, my spelling and grammar errors are in fact artisnal artifacts of my craft.

Bella managed to tear into Bridie’s special fattening-up food yesterday, gorged herself, and has been waddling around with acute regret ever since.

A pitbull giving me a forlorn expression, as if she hadn’t just spent the last 50 minutes barking the house down.

A pitbull giving me a forlorn expression, as if she hadn’t just spent the last 50 minutes barking the house down.

The face of a dog who will under no circumstances allow herself to be brought back down to her own bed. Le sigh.

New Dog has started getting crazy separation anxiety a month in. When we first got her, she was chill as anything. But tonight I broke and brought her into the bedroom, to give the other two a break from the barking more than anything else. Dog parenting is harder than it looks.

I remember once during a local election, my husband called loudly to me and said "who are we putting number two again?"

Along comes the poll clerk shouting, "you are not allowed do that!"

"Its ok," the husband says, "we're married." And holds up his wedding ring.

"Oh, right so. No problem."

It’s a letter from the Latin alphabet and a corresponding Roman numeral.

This is a great D&D joke, a great history joke, a great D&D/history cross-over joke. Yous all need to get on my level.

An ancient Roman twenty-sided dice made of clear quartz and inscribed on each face with different letters and numerals.

An ancient Roman twenty-sided dice made of clear quartz and inscribed on each face with different letters and numerals.

An ancient Roman quartz icosahedron. Roughly 2000 years old.

I wonder if they used it to play AD&D or BC&D?

Maybe if it was a trad Free League game.
But not for scrappy MoSh.

Aside: we GMs do not talk openly enough about *how* we run games. A review of a game or an adventure as a product is one thing, but a discussion as to how it becomes play is (imo) lacking.

Unless these discussions are all taking place on the secret GMs Discord I haven’t been invited to!
