So! It\u2019s my turn to introduce myself. Some of you may have ‘met’ me if you watched the stream of my dad’s funeral. (Which is a hell of a sentence, but we don\u2019t have time to unpack all of that) but for any who missed it, here we go.<\/p>\n
My name is Peter T. Parker. The T stands for Telemachus which I’ve pronounced wrong (Tel-ehm-ah-cuss) since I was a child. I don\u2019t plan to stop now and that is, unfortunately, everyone else’s problem. I\u2019ve been mentioned a few times here, but under a different name that doesn\u2019t bear repeating. I’m the middle child, aka the youngest daughter turned oldest son.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n With that out of the way here\u2019s what you can expect from me. I\u2019m a madman with a full-time job. I’ve agreed to pick up a bit of the slack and snag a day for posting here whenever I have something to rattle on about. There won\u2019t be any particular topic, but D&D is one you might see a lot. Fair warning, I’m not a stats guy. Numbers give me headaches, but I\u2019ll tell you about the story I\u2019m writing with my friends where we roll dice sometimes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I really don\u2019t have a plan. But, it\u2019s a simple exchange. I get a place to keep my D&D notes where I have to keep it under 20k, and you<\/em> get content to look through in bafflement like an archeologist finding the journals of a madman scattered around a cave. Maybe I\u2019ll show you how I made a language for the campaign I haven\u2019t started yet, or the three-ish different versions of Orc culture I built off the same two ideals, or Werewolves. Lots of possibilities, kings.<\/span><\/p>\n I do sometimes think about video games. I enjoy a lot of retro stuff that I hate thinking of as old because it reminds me of the inexorable march of time. I also play a lot of online games, and could probably draw some interesting notes on the importance of gameplay in constructing healthy online communities via both the mechanics and the types of people it attracts by default. And how even small changes can make a massive difference.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n So yeah, you\u2019ll be seeing me around at some point. Later skaters.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So! It\u2019s my turn to introduce myself. Some of you may have ‘met’ me if you watched the stream of my dad’s funeral.
