You think your Filipino friend from work is on vacation? I'm sorry. He's masked up, serving another tour of duty at the MGM Grand in Vegas. It is a burden our people share.

Anyway, if you are a TTRPG person, be my friend. And I will see you at PAX Unplugged. Or PAX West. Or on the internet.08 Aug 2026 02:12 +0000at://did:plc:hfejbsh5rigqlw4rmrsjp3da/app.bsky.feed.post/3msjyne6bec2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/aceofsquares.bsky.social/post/3mng3i3u2ts2rInventing the Bloody Mary: "Okay, any ideas for a new drink?"

I'm one of the players in "Rage Across Dallas", a TTRPG actual play I did with @highshelfcltv.bsky.social. It was insanely fun, with an awesome cast. We played Werewolf: The Apocalypse live on stream, and you can check out all 7 episodes on YouTube now!

It uses the Slayers system, which I HIGHLY recommend checking out if you're into TTRPG and/or game design. Every class plays and rolls differently. It's unlike anything else I've seen.
