(Non-gaming related post here.)

Been out of the gym for twelve years. No meaningful exercises, training, or anything that whole time.

I've begun strength training against at Output Performance in Affton, MO for the last 6mo.

I'm big at 6'4", but never been strong. My max deadlift in high school was just 400lbs.

Today I hit that mark again at 405lbs, but needed straps. Goal is to get to that clean, but need to get my grip strength up, too.

Big thanks to the Output crew and guys like my strength coach @jimmy_freeman88 and hype man @rbenson07 .

Thanks, boys. I'm working on it.

Some work in progress shots of the Hexingtide dice

Some work in progress shots of the Hexingtide dice trays I'm working on for my players (and future demo games).

While I still have the Lovecraftian fishfolk on the way from Crooked Dice, I got antsy waiting on a shipment from the UK, so picked up this Reaper Miniatures fish creature from my FLGS, instead.

Think the arts and crafts will be a nice creative break from the big brain energy going into rules updates and writing.

Earlier this fall I started work on a six dice trays for my spooky monster TTRPG Hexingtide (in which players only ever roll a single die, based on the relative inhumanity of their character).

Got the itch to add two more for a total of eight (with hopeful dreams of one day running two tables of four players as a game store or con).

I'm waiting on a pair of suitable Innsmouth-inspired fishfolk from Crooked Dice Game Design Studio to give it the full Lovecraftian vibe.

While there's once again a lot of work happening in the evenings on Hexingtide (amazing what a nine month break will due for your creative juices), there's not a lot I can show as I work towards a January 2024 playtest update.

That said, I've edited - and slightly added to - my introduction in ways that I hope better orient new GMs and players to what to expect from the game at a very high level.

I'm sharing that introduction here.

Been a hot minute since I had a chance to get a game of Frostgrave in, so it was a welcome chance to introduce the game to my friend Conner.

But... oooof. It's also been a hot minute since I had that many consistently awful rolls. The dice gods did not favor me this week!
