Bicycles & Basilisks: Adventures and The Folks Who Embark Upon Them

What does a bicycle tourist have in common with a TTRPG character? They both travel long distances in search of adventure, they both carry their lives on their backs (or steeds), and they both spend nights out in the wilderness camping in tents to save money and hope they won’t get caught. There are more …

2 Years Out & Proud!

It's right there in the title - I've been out of the closet for about 2 years now. I would've made this post earlier in October, but my girlfriend and I both got COVID and that knocked us the fuck out. So if you haven't already done it, get vaccinated please! With that little PSA …

A Long-Overdue Update!

Howdy folks! I realize it's been a hot minute since I'd added anything to the blog here. Close to a year, in fact...whoops. I wanna throw an update on here as to what I've been doing, what I wanna do moving forward, and how you Dear Readers can help me do that. I was working …

Trans Awareness Week, One Year After Coming Out

So this is a departure from the usual content on the blog. In honor of Trans Awareness Week (November 13th - 19th), I wanted to write up a quick look at the last year since coming out in later October 2020. A helluva lot has happened, good and bad, and I can safely say that …

Dungeon Cookbook: Fighter’s Special Chili

When you've been adventuring for as long as I have, you get pretty good at what you do. I'm handy with a sword, I can start a fire near anywhere rain or shine, and I can butcher almost any creature if it has a corporeal body. Most importantly I know how to improvise, a skill …

Adventurer For Hire: Will Work For Coin

A fellow adventurer recently said “By the deeds of the pen, a sword is earned.” Thanks to a job I recently wrapped up, I’ve got some spending money on hand. Enough to finally buy a sword, something I’ve always longed for. But this girl wants more than a sword - this girl has bills to …

Dungeon Cookbook: Cockatrice Egg Omelette

Oh, the cockatrice. A hybrid between a snake and a chicken with the temperament of an angry goose. Domestic specimens rarely get larger than a turkey, but some wild cockatrice can grow up to 5 feet tall. Like geese, they have beaks with teeth - teeth that can cut through steel - and a preternatural …

Dungeon Cookbook: Fondue, Charcuterie & Cocktails

You may be confused at the thought of having fondue and a charcuterie board in the depths of a twisting dungeon filled with deadly traps and monsters. Who has the time and supplies for that? Why bother when something could jump out and interrupt your meal with fangs and claws and acid spray? My answer …

Blog Update: Death Of A PC & Setting Up Shop

Howdy readers! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted, but for good reason: I’m currently working with a group of trans and gender non-conforming folks in my area to open up a cafe and community space! It’s called Cafe Euphoria, and you can find more info here: https://www.cafeeuphoria.org/. We are accepting donations through a …
