I had a wonderful #PAXUnplugged this year—I feel like Twitter-Rob is serious and unapproachable but convention-Rob lets down his hair (literally).

Here's just some of the great people who I crossed paths with this year. Follow 'em, they inspire me. 🧵

I finally got to hug @Persephiroth, who introduced me to the crew of the Shikar actual play after their panel. I wish I had more time to talk to Jasmine about Green Knight and to @LordBalvin about samurai movies

And @GabeJamesGames really is one of the kindest, most supportive spirits in all of tabletop. I was shy about our split-second meeting last year but I love what he's doing with the Session Zero System, so it was nice to have a few more minutes to talk this year.

I adore @ajitgeorgeSB's work—he has a strong sense of values and he brought them to his work on Ravenloft and #RadiantCitadel. Now that I met him in person I can confirm with my own eyes that he's the textbook definition of tall dark & handsome.

But I was not at ALL ready for Ajit to introduce me to Jeremy Crawford in the middle of the show floor...and then graciously interpret whatever the hell tonguetied thought I was trying to convey to Jeremy.

(Afterwards Adelaide revealed she snuck a pic too)

After tweeting his game design panel, I had several random encounters with Taymoor all weekend long. I like that guy.

I also had some long chats with other thinkers I admire—enough that I'm thinking about another tabletop talk show?

Thanks @KeithAmmann for giving me How to Defend Your Lair, talking shop about writing career pivots, and how Mastadon feels like the internet's DIY early days.

A wikipedia for tabletop lives in @IHeartFargo's head, and we talked about the pre-D&D history of roleplaying games and wargaming. He also told me about his one-man quest to archive as many tabletop books as he can possibly find in his lifetime.

Literal games PhD @TimmWoods has endless enthusiasm. We talked about games as tools for learning, poorly-designed gamification, and what it was like for him to DM a bunch of bros on @PardonMyTake who never played tabletop games before.

It looks like I'm running @MorkBorg's Cy_Borg soon because @RekItRaven cajoled me into running a game on her channel and everyone in the vicinity immediately said "hi I want to be in that." still figuring out how to work in crokinole though

I shouted myself hoarse joining @KatieMehera's crew for a night.

My biggest regret is missing @jdragsky's gala.

I really hope I get to play something with @simplycalamityy next year.

Thanks for a great Pax, everyone! 🪡
