I've been working on a homebrew TTRPG adventure module based in a parody Disneyland-style theme park. This morning during a meeting I doodled the mascot. Meet Scrumpty the chimera!

Been playing Esoteric Ebb for the last couple weeks and last night had what was easily my favorite moment in the game so far: a fun, hilarious interaction with two great rewards, one of which finally cracked a major quest wide open for me.

LRT A bucket list TTRPG campaign I want to run at some point is a megadungeon campaign inspired by Stardew Valley. The way the mines are setup in Stardew pretty perfectly matches the Diablo map that's highlighted in the article as a platonic megadungeon.

Screenshot from an image of a Diablo pitch document showing the world structure, a town on the surface next to a temple or dungeon with many floors extending below the surface. The image is an example of a megadungeon.

My guarantee to my readers is that all poorly-conceived art on Adventure Rules is brought to you by a living, breathing terrible artist. None of that AI garbage. This garbage was crafted with my own two hands.

On the right is an MS Paint drawing of a close-up of his face with a beard, longer hair, and lots of wrinkles.

When I say I want Pokémon hacks to have stuff from the modern games, I mean stuff like group EXP share, no need to teach HMs, DexNav, and easy access to changing IVs/natures, not whatever the fuck this is.

Okay chat don't make me regret this but I think I might stream...........Elden Ring.... I need motivation to get my newer character to where the DLC unlocks before June. DON'T JUDGE MY SKILL ISSUES! 😭

Okay so this is short notice but I would like to try to stream this evening. So tonight around 8 PM EST I am going to show off the game I have been playing the last week or so: Pokémon Emerald Rogue! It's a VERY cool game so I hope you'll come check it out!

Hey adventurers! My normal stream night this week is on Halloween and I gotta take my kid trick or treating so why don't we do a spooky stream tonight instead? Tonight at 8 PM EDT I'll be playing Slay the Princess with one goal in mind: I'm gonna try to kiss the princess instead!

Hey adventurers! Tonight at 8 PM EDT I'm going to try once again to speedrun Fire Emblem Three Houses - Crimson Flower on stream. Last time was basically a showcase of everything that could possibly go wrong, so the only way I can go tonight is up! Right?...right...?

I've said before I wouldn't stream Fire Emblem Three Houses without a good idea for making such a long, slow game presentable for a Twitch audience. Tonight at 8 PM EDT, I'll be showing off my solution: I'm gonna play it really fast! Come hang out as I speedrun Crimson Flower!
