You can't just give me Mighty Max as a kid and not expect me to grow into an adult who is constantly fixated on cool miniatures.

First spooky comic of the season finished! Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees was an amazing book, and this second chapter was just as wild a ride. A great start to this month of spooky reading. Highly recommend!
Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees: Rite of Spring sits on our coffee table, surrounded by spooky electric candles.

I rarely share much about my own relationship online because people create negative interpretations even for the most benign moments. (This couple didn’t even have a choice in going viral.) I think many project their own negative relationship experiences on others. Maybe self reflect instead!

Mark my words, the current Gen AI paint stroke font trend is the modern day Comic Sans. It's a mark of low quality garbage. It shows you don't care. If I see this at a craft or maker fair, I will avoid you. If I see it on Facebook, I will boycott your business.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.
A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with 
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands

The Centipede Bride (지네각시) CR 7. Naturally skilled in witchcraft, they remember past lives where they lost true love. Vowing never to allow it to happen, they use curses and poisons to jealously guard anyone worthy of their affections. Regardless of their say in the matter.
A large white centipede with sharp, red legs. Its body extends up to the torso of a humanoid feminine figure wearing royal bridal garbs, traditional Korean styled.

I think I'm 75% done with my current 5e project, and I'm fighting that creative urge to dive into something else. I think the next resource I work on will be 100% role play focused. Theres so much combat content out there, it'll be fun to make a resource with no damage focused design.

I think if at any point in time during character creation in a TTRPG you use the term 'meta' to describe building your character's skills, spells, or talent build, you're probably a really boring person to have at the table.

I just finished this underwater prehistoric style alligator guy. I don't have a name for him yet so that's the best we're going with. I'm not fully satisfied with him but I'm trying to find a nice balance of 'this looks nice on the table' and 'this won't take me a thousand hours'. How do we feel?

Sometimes you just gotta let your players make the dungeon! Yesterday's adventure had players exploring sewers one street at a time, killing plants, setting off traps, and making friends with beholder-ish creatures! The party built the dungeon as we revealed cards to random encounters.
A bunch of sewer tiles are ready for players to use, as they decide which way they're going by assembling the sewer as we goCards are revealed from the deck, and a corner of the sewer is revealed!A deaths eye is found! His name is Marlo, and like in traditional d&d fashion the group befriended him and will now be trying to find him a castle to live in / rule

You know, when you find out that the art you like is made by people you've learned hold views you find wholly repugnant, I don't think you need to disavow ever having enjoyed the art. It's okay to acknowledge you liked or loved that art, but are now putting it aside. That was then, this is now.

Teldramir yesterday had an icy cliff, landslides, a fey yeti that was very bad at rhyming, and a skeletal detective doing his best to get the group to safety.
The part is on an icy cliff featuring ice walls designed to mimic the general idea of a home. A large yeti is surrounded by adventurers. The yeti gets ready to throw a dwarf off a cliff. A kenku rogue prepares for their ambush.The cliffside before things went from bad to worse. The party investigates the remains of a skeletal dragon.

Discovering Yoko Kanno did the soundtrack for Turn A Gundam has both mamde me desperately want to watch Turn A, while also making me deeply apprecative that there still can be nice discoveries on the internet. It's fun to suddenly uncover an entire set of work from my favorite composer.

Next on the to-do list - big ol' underwater reptile! We're going with purple and yellow to draw out some Dinotopia color representation. I'm excited for how pretty it'll look once I get to the drybrushing.
A big underwater dino with fins instead of legs or arms, colored purple! You can't see its yellow tummy.

Enjoying Forgive-Me-Not while Willow stares wistfully at the outdoors she absolutely would hate being in, but desperately wants to experience.
The cover of Forgive-Me-Not by Mari Costa. It's a wonderful book about queer girlies in the fae. A zoom in on Willow, along with all the smudges she's made on the screen sticking her nose and mouth against the dust. She doesn't want to be outside. She just wants to know she could be outside.

I forgot to share these photos from my last 40k game! It's my first battle where my ENTIRE ARMY was painted so you gotta be super proud of me. I really love my corporate Votann army. I need to do some decals next but after I decide what decals I wanna use across my theme.
Votann and Necron units crash at the mid table. Trucks and space dwarves vs robot zombies My units in staging, vehicles up front with their passengers off the table in the back ready to be released. The full board, turn one. My opponents necrons are also fully painted and look menacing in their bronze, steel, and green.

Today I played some Doom 1490! Incredibly simple skirmish game that I've wanted to give a go for a while. It's extremely fun. As long as you have terrain with height, the game is extremely accessible.
Character sheets, random minis, and a modular castle to fight on! My Doom Squad! The Scout, Warrior Priest, and Brute!Another look at the castle, which is made of several small cubes that can be fit in a wide range of shapes. Everyone rushes for the tallest tower to avoid a rising miasma. My scout pushed a knight off the tower to his death for the win!

Gogwandemyun (고관대면) CR 10 A dryad variant bound to a tree that grows near government offices and the homes of nobles. It watches those that rule the country, judging them based on their adherence to ethics and morality. Its gaze flattens corrupt officials under the weight of their guilt. #dnd #pf2e
Red, large-headed goblin-like figure with long earlobes, wearing a minister's gat. Long black beard, sharp mustache and eyebrows, round eyes with shining pale yellow pupils. The figure steps out from a tree through a blue flaming portal.

I had a lot of fun with that precon but ultimately I really wanted to have a summons FF deck. It definitely didn't take a lot to change it up but it plays VERY differently. Maybe like a 20 card swap?

The more I run Teldramir the more I realize I need to sit down and work on enemies suitable for multiple player levels at once. I've been doing the 'multi level enemy fight' so I can have baddies of all power scale, but the few times I've used variable damage in a 1v6 has gone well!
