Later today in Draw Steel, I'm nudging the party toward helping with an exorcism! Inspired by the "Hold them off!" entry in the Monsters book, and years of media, the party have to protect the performing priest for 3 rounds as the barrier to the hellplane is weak during the ritual as demons invade!

My new video looks at Dragon Magazine in 1979, when D&D was successful, but still very much in flux. Players were debating alignment, realism, class roles, life beyond the dungeon, and what the rules were even supposed to cover. Watch on YouTube now: youtu.be/DdkwxWMbVCU

The cover of Umdaar: Rebel Broadcast Edition featuring a colorful illustration of a warrior woman with four arms leaping into the air wielding a plasma axe. She dodges the bright eye blasts of a giant floating cyborg head festooned with metal tentacles like a medusa. Underneath the metal mask we see sickly gray flesh surrounding sharp and crooked teeth that form a screeching maw.
In the foreground a man with dreadlocks and cybernetic implants fires a laser blaster at something out of frame.

Toward the end of the semester, students in my workshop usually get anxious about continuing to write when they’re out there on their own. They want a writing community. I tell them they have a community right here. “Go ahead and schedule a date to meet-up next month without me.”

This is a fun one. I got a commission from @jondenor.com to make generic tokens for all the Draw Steel keywords. I haven't done much silhouette work, and probably should have used vector art for cleaner lines, but otherwise I'm pretty happy with how the set turned out. Humanoid
