The Silver Lizard of Helelot. (Excerpt in Alt) From my book Savage Strangehollow, fourth in the series. This is one of my favourite paintings from the book which you can find here: buff.ly/vek4jkA #dragon #lizard #wyrm #fantasyart #folklore #artbook

Excerpt from the book:
Some areas of Strangehollow are very close to human civilisation. There is a wood, far to the east, right on the outskirts of the great forest, known as Helelot Woods. There is a small tavern nearby which serves the infrequent travellers to the region, hopeful adventurers, most of whom never make the return journey.
Helelot woods is an enchanted place, brimming with wildlife, common fairies lighting up the undergrowth at dusk like tiny lanterns, and a pale, slithering serpent waiting in the boughs of the ancient trees. For those who dare to enter Strangehollow from the east, Helelot Woods is a deceptively simple place to begin.
The tavern owner, Ageon, a man of indiscernable age, displays the glittering skin of this beast at the entrance to the woods. He warns every guest, each questing fool about this loathesome beast, but none listen.
Even the glittering sixty foot long epidermis of the creature displayed outside the tavern fails to deter them.

Description of image: watercolour painting of a pale serpent/lizard sliding out of a large ancient tree in a purply blue light.
There are glowing orbs of light floating in the air, tiny common fairies that live in Strangheollow.

An illustration of a goliath hunter on his mount in snowy mountain terrain, facing off against a crag cat. The Goliath is a young man, dressed in brown and white furs, accented with red and blue woven panels. He wields a red horsebow. His mount is a mixture of a reindeer and a markhor goat. His tack and gear matches the colors and motifs of his rider. He is mid leap. In the foreground, a white sabertoothed cat pursues the pair. In the background are snowy peaks and Giant ruins.

A cleric astride a flying broom raises a glowing sword above a battle field. Golden, rays of bright light stream out from the sword. Her party members and herself are wrapped in golden glowing flowers and vines. They stare up at her in awe.

The party members, counter clockwise from the top left are: A dwarven artificer wearing jeweltones and riding a magic carpet, the cleric wearing a gold breastplate and blue robes; a giant fighter in full adamantine plate and a dragon helm; a half-drow Psi-fighter in blues and purples, floating mid-air and holding her crossbow; and a tiefling ranger, arms stretched out in joy and relief.

Behind the party members is a truly gargantuan giant, you can see him only up to his knees. He wears silver greaves and you can catch a glimpse of his great axe.

Ruins of a city are in the distant background.

Two front covers.

Reigning Souls: By Her Will by Elyse Sylvan ( @elysesylvan.bsky.social )and Martina Pine (@pinemartina.bsky.social ). A view through a window from a palatial fantasy interior, inspired by Gothic and Moorish architecture. Through the window is a view of a fountain in a rose garden. Beyond the garden walls are rolling hills, a magical cityscape, and a twilight sky over mountains. The color scheme is shades of blue, purple, and pink.

Reigning Souls: By Her Heart by Elyse Sylvan ( @elysesylvan.bsky.social )and Martina Pine (@pinemartina.bsky.social ). A view through a window from a cozy but grand 17th century manor with Tudor style wood paneling. Through the arched window is a view of a snowy scene. A medieval French country manor sits in the distance, windows glowing warmly in the twilight. The transom is filled with leaded glass, and at the center is a wooden relief sculpture of a dove. The color scheme is shades of maroon, pink, purple, and blue.

TEXT: Pistolheart, A Western Campaign supplement for Daggerheart by Carlos Cisco

A train with a big green crystal in the front is coming toward the viewer while two gunslingers, one a fungril and the other a clank, leap from their mounts (a roadrunner and a robot horse) onto the train. Bandits on top of the train fire at them with guns.

This is so, so well-articulated.

People call this friction "grunt work." Schwartz uses exactly that phrase, and he's right that LLMs can remove it. What he doesn't say, because he already has decades of hard-won intuition and doesn't need the grunt work anymore, is that for someone who doesn't yet have that intuition, the grunt work is the work. The boring parts and the important parts are tangled together in a way that you can't separate in advance. You don't know which afternoon of debugging was the one that taught you something fundamental about your data until three years later, when you're working on a completely different problem and the insight surfaces. Serendipity doesn't come from efficiency. It comes from spending time in the space where the problem lives, getting your hands dirty, making mistakes that nobody asked you to make and learning things nobody assigned you to learn.

An intricate comic-style poster drawn digitally, depicting a group of figures in a dark, gloomy fantasy setting, surrounded by gothic arches.. The colours are contrasting shades of muted reds and pale green on black and grey background. There is a bright red-pink moon on the top edge of the illustration, lighting the figures below.
The center has 6 adventurers huddled together back to back, all in pensive and solemn state. There are roots winding their way up the group and up the stone arches on the borders. Above the group of characters, there is a large portrait of a dark haired vampire woman and 5 more smaller vampire figures to her side arranged in a crescent. There is a castle and a bare-branched tree in the background as well.
The plaque at the bottom edge says “Curse of Strahd”
Characters:
