Last night I premiered a 22 episode fiction television show that I co-created, executive produced, and star in.

In 2018 I came up with the idea for a tv show alongside Brian David Judkins. Fast forward to 2023 and there it is. That's my show. That is a still shot of a show I produced and star in.

Encounter Party is coming soon to your screens. Get ready.

Hi. Eureka S2E4 "Games People Play" is a perfect piece of television. Perfectly crafted to live in the world of the show, expertly covers all the themes of the show over the last few episodes, it's just...straight up off the charts one of my favorite episodes of television ever.

Remembering the time my barber said to me "Ned, you're too young to have all these grey hairs" and I said, "thanks, it's all the trauma." and then we didn't speak again for the rest of my haircut.

A quick update on the SAG strike and how it affects the upcoming Encounter Party tv series.

The shortest, quickest answer is our show is not covered by the strike order and we've been given written confirmation as well as encouragement to begin promoting the show excitedly!

Expect more soon!

Encounter Party and the SAG-AFTRA Strike
Hey there Party People!
Here is the official status regarding our upcoming show Encounter Party and the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike. Our show was filmed under the 2021 Non-Dramatic New Media Agreement which backs into the Network Television Code. These contracts are not covered by the strike order. We have received written confirmation from SAG that we are not struck and have been encouraged by those at SAG to excitedly promote our show.
We are so excited to be part of D&D Adventures and can't wait to celebrate the release of this awesome channel and these incredible shows with you all. For those of you who’ve been with us since the beginning, this second campaign has been a long time coming and you are going to love these new characters from our cast and this epic new storyline from DM Brian David Judkins.
If you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to ask and we’ll try to answer what we can!

I just finished my final round of notes on the finale for season 1 of #EncounterParty and immediately wept at this bar I’m working at. This show is so good and I am immensely proud of every single person whose craft has touched it from prepro til now. As I said, this show rocks.

Screenshot from the Gizmodo Article “Encounter Party is Ready to Take On Television” by Linda Codega. It reads “Tell me about the show, I ask. “It rocks.” Donovan said. “End of interview,” Judkins interrupted, miming getting up from the table.

I'm taking notes on a later season episode of Encounter Party on the subway. Right as I got to a SUPER important plot point and became engrossed.....a mariachi band got on the train and began JAMMING.

While stylistically incorrect, absolutely the best underscoring imaginable.

Okay we now have SO many social media platforms fighting for the title of Twitter Successor. I’m on all of them but honestly find myself reading the feeds of none. There’s too many to read.

How are people choosing? Should we rotate platforms week by week?

It's Year 9 of my Pre-Birthday tradition. Every year I write a long missive and end with a request for all birthday messages to instead be diverted to someone who might need to hear it more.

This year's missive is longer than normal, if you're interested you can find it here :)
