If a GM tells you the name of a monster during an encounter and you then Google that monster, you’re cheating. Sleep in a nightgown made of shame this evening.

Introducing Dash Harris Lavallee! Born at 1:22PM today, he is excited to meet his big brother Archer and thrilled to share a birthday with Larry Bird. His amazing rockstar of a mom is doing great and his Dad is stressed as usual but feeling pretty hashtag blessed.

Well it was one heck of a weekend when this little bundle of Troy stormed into the world two weeks ahead of schedule. Evie Belle Lavallee came home today to two very excited older brothers, one unbelievable mama who I am constantly in awe of and the luckiest dad in the world.

Rooster Teeth’s a dumpster fire and G4 shut down? Fuck ‘em. Come on over to the Glass Cannon Network! We’re always on the lookout for great people to join our team! On camera personalities, behind-the-scenes people, marketing/SEO folks, trapeze artists — let’s chat!

My four year old just painted a big blue monster and covered it with six eyes then brought it to mama and said, “Look mom, it’s an Old One. He’s friends with Cthulhu.”
Take the rest of the day off other parents. I won this one.

Let's talk about dice fudging. If you're a player doing it, you should go play another game. This one uses dice. There's no point in rolling if you're just going to ignore the results. "But my character is going to die!" Tough shit. Make another one. 🧵 (1/3)

When we started we didn't have the convenience of money, producers or name recognition. We built the Naish brick by brick with the best fans in TTRPG & eps like today are a reminder that NO ONE does it like us. Spread the word. Grow the Naish. This is only the beginning!
A battle seven years in the making goes down TODAY in the penultimate episode of the Glass Cannon Podcast!

Six years ago we started a Pathfinder podcast. The only thing more exciting than the adventure of the characters in our story has been our personal adventure behind the scenes. The Road to the End has begun but we’re just getting warmed up!
The Road to 300 has begun so its time to unveil The Road to the End by
@ls_setiawan
! Weve come a long way since the tug of war in Trunau and the end of our adventure is drawing near deep within Ironcloud Keep. Thank you for coming with us on this journey. The best is yet to come!

Well last night was an epic and joyous return to recording our flagship show. The energy in the room was infectious. Even Matthew smiled once. We can’t wait to share this with you in November. Back in the studio tonight to record another one. It’s good to be back!

My 22 month old pointed at his pajamas today and said “Darth Vader!” I asked him, “what does Darth Vader say?” He did the infamous Vader breathing sound and then said, “you shall not pass!” He was wrong in the most right way possible.

After months in the trenches with my writing partner, the GCP 2.0 story map has been sent to the writers. Any epic can have heroes & villains. Making this story personal was what cracked it for me & I can't wait to share it with you all.

I started reading this

book to my 4 year old with a dad edit to keep things PG & he's WAY into it. This morning at 6AM, he hopped in bed & asked "Dad, is Cthulhu awake?" To which I replied, "when the halls of R'lyeh rise from the deep, he shall awaken for us all."

The 5 Stages of Reading a TTRPG Rulebook:

5. Play video games.

Keep in mind criticism doesn't bother me PERSONALLY at all. ALL I CARE ABOUT is how it affects the community & the network. After spending 20 yrs booking 1 out of 10,000 auditions, nothing touches my ego. Criticize away! I love it! My only goal is to gatekeep dicks. 💗 the Naish!

We are recording GCP 324 and 325 this week. I'd say about 78% prepped and I've been working on a speech that I'm pretty fired up about. That said, I haven't even begun to put pen to paper for 326 - the finale. Even though this is how I ALWAYS work, it gives me insufferable angst.

Between today & Saturday, Im running Pathfinder 1st Ed, playing Vampire: The Masquerade, running Starfinder, playing a 5E game, playing a Blades in the Dark game & doing a practice sesh with the developers of another game on an as yet unannounced project. 5 years ago I was bored.

Lastly, I have two superpowers that I know of. 1. I can always tell if a TV is on somewhere when I walk into a house. 2. I always know if a player or a GM at my table is fudging. I never say anything. But I'm judging you. And I'm remembering. 🧵 (3/3)

Epic 6 hour recording yesterday. About to fly out for a pitch dinner & drinks in an hour & fly back at 6AM tmrw to head straight to the office & record GCP. Not too long ago, I would walk into NYC hotels & surreptitiously search the couches for change to buy food. NEVER GIVE UP.

Episode 300 will be the last centennial "tentpole" of the Network as GCP 2.0 episodes will be structured differently. For 100, 200 and 250, I sent the guys emails to start the laborious co-prep of those eps. The 300 emails just went out. Time to get to work!

Behind the screen, GMs gotta do what they gotta do. However, I believe you'll get better at running games if you let the dice do their job & you do yours — which is take the results that random chance have given you & turn them into a compelling collaborative story. 🧵 (2/3)

If you're GMing a new game system that you never intend to play, do you ever roll up a character in the system to get a feel for character creation? I find it's a fun little extra step that helps get you in the zone.

Some days I feel like I can't be creative to save my life. Other days I'll sit down for 20 minutes to bang something out that I've been dreading doing, read it back to myself and say, "Still got it." Then an 80s song plays in my head and everything fades to black.
