This may be updated in the future once I have more time to comb through the remainder of my 45k+ Tweets to find more of my helpful tweets (instead of just my shit posts). This is a collection of a few of my Twitter threads and thoughts that I wish someone had shared with me when I was new to the TTRPG space.
