From the deepest, most sincere part of the bottom of my heart: FUCK. YOU. Get the fuck out of here with your slopbot-generated comment. Rot in Hell.

NEWSFLASH, ASSHOLE, THEY'VE BEEN DOING THAT THE ENTIRE GODSDAMN TIME!

So... my job fired me over some technicalities regarding when I clocked off from a shift. While I'm looking for a new one, I'm looking to try and keep momentum for myself and my partner, so writing commissions are open! I'm currently opening 5 slots, and possibly will do more depending. Thank you!

A screenshot that reads: Hello everyone! Due to a little bit of financial strain, I'm opening up quick fiction commissions. For $10 USD, you can get:
Approximately 500 words of fiction, original or fanfic, shipping or not - up to 2500 words.
Material to use at your gaming table, from quick NPCs and adventure hooks, to locations and unique treasure, to villains and their schemes.
Write-ups of said material with specific mechanics for PF2E, Daggerheart, Exalted (3E or Essence), or Fabula Ultima. Other systems can be discussed, requests for D&D 5e and related systems will be ignored.
Make any of the above SPICY for an extra $5!

I accept payment through Zelle, ko-fi, and Venmo. If your commission includes OCs, I will need references of some kind. DM me if you're interested!

I would love to have art of this guy, even if I don't have better references (yet). Personality-wise imagine the fusion of Dante (from the Devil May Cry Series) and Vash the Stampede.

Capitalism is officially too stupid to be able to make fun of now. This is from where I work.

Oh _hell_ yes. I'd prefer a SFW picture of this guy (for now). This is Kallic - he's a professional martial artist that really just likes helping people. Absolutely no ability to say no to a pretty girl (or any girl, really). And listen. Listen. Miss Castlerock is absolutely adorable. 10/10.

Webtoon can fuck right off. Let me read the full damn comics without installing yet another FUCKING app.

Part 1 of my custom #SentinelsOfTheMultiverse deck for Hoxxes IV! Having a lot of fun bringing my homebrew to life.

Been futzing with custom #SentinelsOfTheMultiverse decks, and found the magnificent builder at unitysworkshop.com. So naturally the first thing I did was make a card for my #FF14 PC.

Um. I think my luck has gone cracked. I hope this is a good omen for Moona! #HoloCure

Actually it occurs to me that my WoL hasn't had a lot of pictures posted here. So let's fix that. Meet R'tahn Tia, master Machinist, magitek engineer, and deadly wrench-thrower. Kinda hard to see in the close-up but he does have heterochromia; his right eye is dark green and his left is blue.

Got my Halloween costume up for my boy R'tahn! Had to give some love to No-Mercy Percy, and not just for how much he's influenced my writing for R'tahn. #FFXIV #CriticalRole #VoxMachina

Proud to announce the first official character portrait for CrossRoad's example characters, courtesy of the talented black-owl-arts.tumblr.com! Meet Valnir, the Wolfen-Hearted, blessed with a lupine transformation to make him a better protector of his home. He also makes a great stew.

Sometimes the fun of RPG development is making ridiculous decisions and sticking to them.

Seriously, look at this. And honestly the best part isn't the fact that you're having a conversation with your own subconscious, but the fact that the rules text explicitly says to get the other players involved. When it comes to TTRPGs, this is PEAK design.
