The Secret Cellar

[The Secret Cellar @_SecretCellar_]

Episode 17… a *significant* point in this journey along the path.

Join me and @ethanschoonover of #DndGirls fame as we discuss his work running D&D CLUB at a girls’ middle school.

There is something powerful in making a game (and its stories) your own.

@MarkMeredith Im so sorry, Mark.

@dubtea stay safe, and giggle heartily

Some tidings from the Grey…

@Daniypink I would totally do this if you can afford it. 🌞

[The Secret Cellar @_SecretCellar_]

@ShannaGermain This is very real.

For me, part of it also that Zoom meetings tend to get scheduled back-to-back, and not having even a watercooler chat or a quick walk to another building in between adds to the exhaustion.

@DarkestCrows spangoes totally work for me though

@TheOtherTracy (How’d it go?) 💜

@ShannaGermain This nondescript bottle of water is my mood this week.

So much of life right now is hunting beauty in the dark mundane.

@ShannaGermain @burst0fhope On an iPhone, you can turn on this setting:

General > Accessibility > Spoken Content > Speak Screen

... after which you can swipe 2 fingers down from screen top to read the screen aloud. Useful for many things, but I use it to quick-check alt tags on Twitter images too.

For the weekly email, I played with the CSS a bit (which is excellent procrastination from writing, let me tell you). The foreword and afterword are regular web-style paragraphs: non-indented, spaced. But the story is book-like: indented paras, and even an initial drop cap. 👌

I think I need to work on translating this cocktail into an Incantation as well.

[Shanna Germain (The She/Her-Devil You Know) @ShannaGermain]

Just finished chatting with the @_SecretCellar_. I made up a new drink for the podcast called The Red Queen Cries in the Garden.

Bourbon, salted honey, orange bitters, and hibiscus flowers.

This can go wrong in s o m a n y w a y s .

Also, there are a lot of Goetics involved. There will be *pacts*.

I have a seat open for an Invisible Sun two-shot online, starting today and concluding on Sunday!

(This is a calm home game, not streamed — also FYI I’m running a modified version of the Gen Con adventure, which may limit interest.)

DM me if interested? 3–6 Pacific.

… followed by a (cogent!) breakdown of what the players *want* from each party, what they’ll *tell* each party, and what they’ll actually *do*.

(The *telling* and the *doing* in fact only align for mayyybe 2 of the 5 parties.)
