John Mitchell

Special Event Technical Director, with a bias for chickens, D&D, psychedelics, surfing and interactive art. Not necessarily in that order.

@BenNewbon That’s like saying “if you can watch a movie, you can produce one.” Ridiculous. But sure anyone can DM. Very few can do it well enough that people would ask you to do it again.

@davidfolkenflik @ChrisJansing A significant influence on the deterioration of critical thought in America is on the way out. Thanks for always covering this, David.

@egotwts They were supposed to sit in front of their headshot. (See the video screen on the stage behind them?)

First time DMing tonight for an adult game of D&D, and the result was one of the best nights of my life. If you’re not taking risks at least once a year, you’re missing out. Do something great. Take risks, take chances.

As an event producer and a fledgling DM, I’ll just say that if it looks easy, it’s because you did your homework. Just like any concert or magic trick, it’s more fun if it looks easy.

[Ben Newbon @BenNewbon]

Having an argument on Discord about GMing being more demanding than playing and I just can’t understand a point of view where this isn’t the case. Even in the most collaborative of TTRPGs the GM does more work than a player. Can anyone help explain the opposite to me?

[John Mitchell @Escape_Vehicle]

Btw, It’s not a deficit and it’s not a disorder. It’s a superpower and people pay me pretty well to handle simultaneous, disparate problems on special events.

[John Mitchell @Escape_Vehicle]

I’m sick of the term ADHD and ADD. There’s nothing equitable in that language, so I reject it and you should too.

[John Mitchell @Escape_Vehicle]

It’s summer. Is it weird that all I want to do is surf, listen to TV on the Radio, and play D&D?

This wasn't SNL on a Thursday night.

This was Wyoming's Republican primary debate.

@davidfolkenflik Nice work, David. Ethics-driven journalism has never been more important. Thanks for keeping the standards high over the years and throughout all this madness.

[John Mitchell @Escape_Vehicle]

@jstevensonart Incredibly imaginative. I want to go here and interact with the denizens!

[John Mitchell @Escape_Vehicle]

@jstevensonart You're a genius. Love everything you do.

This is what the MLK in Fortnite experience looks like.

I recorded it, judge for yourself🙏🏾🎥

[John Mitchell @Escape_Vehicle]

@SwaggyG1524 @erinasimon I’d be upset if they allowed Fortnite weapons, or combat was part of this experience, but they don’t. As it is, it brings attention the anniversary, and started an interesting conversation w my kid, and that’s net positive.

@TroelleEmbiid @PharoahAshseti @erinasimon This ⬆️

@3YearLetterman @neiltyson Spellings not important either!?

(You misspelled Neil’s name, the first word of your reply.)
