I've never done an #introduction post on here and I don't have a pinned post, so here goes:
I'm Nick. Pronouns he/him. I live in Toronto and I work in tech as a... technical artist, kinda?
I love to run #ttrpgs and I'm leaning more towards rules-light #osr#nsr stuff. I play far less often than I'd like.
I also talk about parenting, video games, and sometimes (rarely) post my art.
In short, I write and design TTRPGs and adventures as a worker-owner of Archstone Press, and I’m particularly interested in some of these things: #NSR#OSR#RuneQuest#PbtA#Pathfinder#BronzeAge fantasy, #Cairn (and the games that came out of it), and #worldbuilding in general!
No one ever says, "We're having a bonfire/singsong on the beach, could you bring your Trumpet?"
I just say I don't play any instruments.
I spun CDs professionally once.
Bands would give me free CDs (Payola) when they asked what I played. I'd say YOU, I'm a DJ. I'm all request
I've been up about 3 hours, listening to tunes. Might as well share some?
Prompted by someone who's first memory of catchy instrumentals forgot about the early 60s. Instrumentals were big from 1940, to 1960s. I've seen folks dancing to this one.
Last night, as I got home about a half past ten ♪
There was the woman I thought I knew
In the arms of another man
I kept my cool, I ain't no fool
Let me tell ya what happened then ♪
I packed some clothes and I walked out
And I ain't goin' back again
Seventy-three men sailed up
From the San Francisco Bay ♪
Rolled off of their ship, and here's what they had to say
"We're callin' everyone to ride along
to another shore
Hot August night and the leaves hanging down
And the grass on the ground smelling sweet ♪
Move up the road to the outside of town
And the sound of that good gospel beat ♪
