One of the biggest feathers in my cap just released yesterday. Alien: Chrysalis is a one-shot adventure for the Free League RPG. It's been a lifelong dream to do something officially connected to that universe. I'm so proud of it. (A blog post about it here: coyoteandcrow.net/2026/07/30/t...)

I keep my promises, as best I can.

Just finished watching it. It was an excellent episode. Thank you for sharing @megueyb.bsky.social words "I will not abandon you" or as I mis-quote it "No one gets left behind." It has become a core tenant of my TTRPG communication/safety philosophy. To hear you share it meant the world to me.

Exploring Moby-Dick launches TOMORROW with me and my celebrity friend @robdelaney.bsky.social, who missed his calling as the greatest Melvillean of a generation! exploringthegreats.com/moby-dick

Once more, I share with you all this radical starter pack featuring Canadian game studies scholars. Let me know if you or someone you love should be added.

They've changed the Italian 'strega' to 'stryge', to match our own concoction of 'witch' to 'wycce' and we love that

That’s so kind! (I feel like I hear you cited so often by folks I respect)

My next video is about the first* trans board game designer, and her son gave me the file for her unpublished autobiography. The first thing I did was print it up. 🧵 (* the earliest I have found, anyway, with her first work in games coming out in '71.)

Misty was an incredible human and scholar, a funny, generous person who loved deeply 💔

It is. We got more time than many, but never ever enough.

I had forgotten Brennan’s very personal story on this episode, & I’m struck anew by the ways that anecdote is shaped by both the gifts & traps of tech. I can never say the internet was a mistake, because it meant I could tell my friend what they meant to me, how much I loved them, before the end.

To rewatch Brennan & I talk about the community & friendship that can (but doesn’t always) emerge among colleagues hit differently yesterday, after weeks of sitting in virtual vigil as Misty’s treatments took a turn, then a spike of hope, then hospice. I am grateful for how our people came together.

I hope it does a fraction as much good as your sterling work does, my friend.

I am the product of so many people who I’ve had the privilege of thinking & laughing alongside. I have lost too many too young. Misty was in my 18C community from jump, a “cousin” from a brilliant cohort of minds. Misty was a public scholar, a lover of Austen’s fingerprints all over pop culture.

If you’ve seen the ep, you’ll understand when I say I had my own “Grief Popcorn” moment yesterday. My colleague & friend the brilliant @mistykrueger.bsky.social died yesterday morning. They were a fierce & funny teacher & scholar of Austen, pop culture, & a searing memoirist. mistykrueger.com

I’m so glad!

I don't have a parasocial relationship with BLM, but I may have a para-Bluesky-relationship with Dr. Friedman. Back when I wanted to go into academia while attending Ole Miss, I would never have imagined finding a prof from Auburn who would give my hobby the attention it deserved.

What a delightfully fun and insightful watch! Go check this out! Also "Reading Smell" audiobook when? 😜

This is @megueyb.bsky.social beat — the parallel evolution of roleplaying that gets dismissed because it’s femme-dominated, domestic, etc.

My hair has been these colors for years, and the Dome has preset colors for different segments. God bless Denise Valentine’s talents in hair & makeup — I have NEVER realized how often I close my eyes when I think, so at least folks had a nice gradient to look at…
