Hey, there’s something coming up that I want to tell you about!

Tonight on Typecast: 100% More Candyland, 100% Less Me

It’s with deep regret that today I fly into Indianapolis instead of streaming with the TypecastRPG team¹.

You see, tonight Charlie Holmberg will be running a D&D 5e session² in which all the worldbuilding comes from Candyland.

Yeah, THAT Candyland.

By the time I arrive at my hotel the session will be over. I’m going to miss the whole thing.

Don’t be like me.

¹ I became a full-time cast member a few weeks ago. You’ll see me onscreen again next week.
² We’ve also done an L5r one-shot, which the Twitch chat folks declared to be their favorite³ session of ours. It’s up on YouTube
³ “Actually, a false-flag operation COULD result in someone betraying the emperor by dying, but I don’t need to tell a Scorpion that.” — me, telling the Scorpion about false-flag operations

An Honest Death and Other Stories (and other things, too!)

There are some new items, some limited items, and some on-sale items in our store this week!
For more on-sale items, check out the On-Sale section of the Schlock Mercenary store!

Typecast RPG Tonight (and EVERY Tuesday Night!)

I’ll be live streaming a D&D session again tonight with the Typecast RPG group, but this time I’m not a “special guest.” I’ve been invited to join the party as a core member of the cast, which means this D&D streaming thing will happen again next Tuesday, and every Tuesday that follows.

There have been two sessions since Sandra and I appeared on the stream, so I’m not entirely sure what trouble the party has gotten into in my absence. I’m confident, however, that they’re in a lot of it.
