Lauren holds a mug that says: you're doing great

In case you need it:

We're in our last week on Kickstarter!! We've done a ton so far but there's so much more we could do. Help us hit our next stretch goals and get the coolest book possible! Ebook starts at $8.

I don't know, that trailers aren't making me excited. But I'd love to be proven wrong.

Jowls. ❤️❤️❤️

Go request the audiobook for Origin from your local library!

I have learned, knowing as many artists as I do, that whenever somebody asks me if I have five minutes to stand against a white wall and make specific expressions, it is always worthwhile.

@laurencipollo.bsky.social makes a good alien for sure.

Lil friend who almost got hosed down the drain for looking too much like a turd. 😅

Clearly our fans love sci-fi AND fantasy. (Maybe that's why you follow us. 🚀🐉) One of our most popular tiers in the Dark&Zarus Kickstarter is the Completionist Level!

We could barely keep up! What a great first day!

Took my yearly Myers-Briggs test. Changed from a P to a J! Also scored 96% Turbulent. 😬

Well SOME of my players decided they had to go visit the once-mentioned city that took a week to travel to. 😆

I am home in time to celebrate my husband's birthday, and you can too by getting to know the character he helped inspire!

TTMH is a high heat seafaring romantasy with cozy vibes and polyamory done right. Join the crew today and say Happy Birthday in a fun way for everyone!

A few more from the cruise!

Just a couple of cruise pics! There will be more!

Read Dark & Zarus and not surprisingly, found MORE stuff that needs to be fixed. 😅 Matt and I have been discussing what we want to work on next... I think outlining the rest of Parallax will happen in the coming months! ❤️

This time last year we were calling our insurance company because we got rear-ended on our way to a New Year's party. The car ended up totaled. Tonight, we're staying in! Here's to no car emergencies in 2026 (or ever again)!

Will we see you here???

Hope to see you there!

At PAX Unplugged for the weekend with Team Cinevore!

Getting around is a little confusing.

Pretty sure we just received instructions to another dimension...

Matt and I were watching Vox Machina and during the episode where we get Delilah and Silas Briarwood's back story:

Matt: I feel like you would do that for me, if I was dying.

Me: Make a pact with a demon so I could turn you into a vampire?

Matt: Mhmm.

Me: ... Yeah, I definitely would.

Stiff was a great book!

I live in America—more to the point, Im sick in America. The only way I can get the meds I need is w/ Patreon.

Writers get lots of lessons on building craft & honing skills. Readers get VIP access to my books and art. Everyone gets an amazing Discord community. $5/month makes a huge difference!

That feeling when you order a proof of your new book! 🦋🦋🦋

Just realized that playing a lot of one-shots help when you are a DM. Instant NPCs that you know fairly well and probably have a character sheet (if you can remember where you put it).

So much fun! But I really missed bread and pizza. 😆

Matt and Lauren dressed up as Cloud Strife and Tifa Lockehart.

Matt and Lauren dressed up as a couple of vault dwellers from Fallout.

When nerds choose couples costumes. 😆 Hope everyone had a happy Halloween!

First Halloween event of the season!

@laurencipollo.bsky.social and I almost won the costume contest but another couple had a pretty solid Toad/Peach combo, so I can't compete with that!

TTRPGs are the best and I love being a game master. That's all.
