Played Hansa Teutonica: Big Box w/ 5 players boardgamegeek.com/boardgame… #bggplay

Played Wordatro I was hoping for a game more like wordle than Scrabble. I’m not great at figuring out anagrams in my head so I didn’t enjoy the game as much as I hoped. Minute cryptic is my current word game of choice!

Watched: Batman: Caped Crusader S1E1, In Treacherous Waters 🍿 I’m glad I’m finally getting around to this, I love the visual style!

Finished reading: Curse Words Volume 1: The Devil’s Devil by Charles Soule 📚 This was a fun read about a wizard named Wizord! I really enjoyed the world-building and unique framing. Many parts feel very TTRPG coded in a way that avoids many of the common tropes. #booksky

Photo of the comic book in which a bearded man (Wizord) asks a merchant why people by the riverside are idle, leading to a conversation about the absence of masters and slaves.

Calligraphy nib

After a few years of using fountain pens, experiences with different models have led to a mix of satisfaction and disappointment, particularly in achieving line variation with a new calligraphic nib.
