This is what my brain wakes up to...

WTF Jesse diner meme where Jesse considers that because Smeagol only gave the wraiths the words Shire And Baggins they'd have hunted down and killed all of the Baggins in the Shire. Kinda fucked up

It is true, I mostly use social media for being social and interacting with people. I rarely, but not never, use it for promotion or to farm likes. Farming likes is what Insta was for.

This is the new amazing character art I have for Yavva Mullonip, a Starfinder 2e barbarian. Huge thank you to @heightadvantage.bsky.social for bringing her to life. She's perfect! #TTRPG #Starfinder #Pathfinder #Halfling #CharacterArt

This is an annoyed halfling from a sci-fi future. She has short white hair, a ruddy nose, and four cyber-limbs that are over-large, but not comically so. Each is covered in stickers, duct tape, and graffiti. She wears an "Abyss Head" band tank top, bulky belt, and shorts that cover her cyber-leg attachments. She sits on an engine part, smoking a rolled joint, and looking directly at the viewer, aperhensive at what you might ask of her.

Went axe throwing! Managed to hit a bullseye somehow!

Me, looking dumbfounded, and gesturing at an axe I managed to get in the bull's-eye. I'm wearing an ampersand hat, a shirt that says "Amaze Amaze Amaze" and a pin that says "It's my Birthday"

Look, I made a hat where there was never a hat... (Technically I made a patch from a different hat and then put the patch on this hat)

It's me, with a stupid grin on my face and wearing a white cadet hat. It has a white patch with 2 red hearts and 1 half filled heart. I'm also holding a black mug with a red heart on it—very on theme. The mug says "you fill my heart containers."

I should have posted this above. Please pretend I did. I'm very bad at social media.

Screenshot from Night in the Woods where Mae says, "The world is extremely bad"

Mae is a cat. Fuck this game is good. Why are you reading/listening to this and not playing the game?!

Happy Return to the Shire day to all who celebrate 🎉 (Just don't stay away so long that they presume you dead and auction off all of your belongings)

Image of Judge Doom from the film "Who Framed Rodger Rabbit?" In typical meme style it labels him as Microsoft with the caption, "I bought the games industry so I could dismantle it"

Something something Pride, but also ...

Just me being stupid and smiling with only my too teeth like a goon, holding a class of white wine. In wearing my black army style hat and a blue shirt, short sleeves. My rainbow purse strap is prominent. The wine is labeled, "wine," and the photo is captioned, "its own reason for celebrating"

Sheppi is amazing! I hired him to make this piece for a now-canceled project. I would hire him again 100 times over if I could. #ttrpg #ttrpgart #yesthatsiomedae #yesthatiomedae

This is a full body character illustration of the mortal Human woman, Iomedae. This woman is white with straight black hair in a short bob haircut. She wears half plate armor over a dark gray quilted gambeson. She wears a crimson cloak, which is blowing in the wind. She holds her sword in front of her in a salute. The background is a was of gray and blue.

I made a meme calling myself out. No matter what new system I try, I want to make an angry, uncouth lady who punches things.

Good place meme as follows...
Eleanor: I just got an idea for a new character
Chidi: Is it just another uncouth, angry punching girl?
Eleanor: Shut up, my thing is different and you don't understand

Yup, it's Trans Day of Visibility. Here's me at a grocery store, being trans. Visible. #tdov

Here's me at a grocery store, being trans. Visible. I'm wearing a black military style hat with no adornment, glasses, and a Star Wars shirt that says, "Pew pew. Vroosh. Beep boop. Vroosh." I'm in the isle with various types of flour.

Low effort meme I made on my phone

The meme is low quality, as I made it on my phone. Its early and I don't want to get off the sofa yet

Me being a Bard is not a surprise at all. Strong Sorcerer/Wizard vibes also make total sense. High paladin probably has more to say about living in current US than anything else, but ... Facts

Genderless representation at it's finest: just mens clothes and mens sizing and specifically calling out "not women" /s

Off-white collared shirt with red vertical pinstripes and brown knit cardigan. A label on the outfit states, "Genderless Product*" and then "*Men's sizing; Sizes differ from the women's items"

So I think we figured out our dog's dead name. He's a rescue, picked up off the street and held for two months, and the shelter gave him a dumb name. We renamed him Argo. Argo has been his name for 2.5 years since we got him, and he absolutely knows that's his name. However... 1/2

Argo the dog, a medium sized short haired hound and Aussie mix. His coloring is ginger and white, and he has a big stupid smile on his puppy face and big floppy ears.

... Netflix has a wine now? What is going on with this twisted world?!!

My hand holding a fucking Netflix wine bottle labeled Love is Wine. It's a chardonnay, technically by Cupcake. The bottle is good colored cheap ass plastic (likely a vinyl wrap). What the hell?!?

I'm pretty sure I'm going to use Sophia, Dogged Detective. She has a good color profile and looks fun to bounce between making food tokens and making dogs strong. I'm hoping to proxy several cards with pictures of my dog. He loves food. Also, I want to reskin Battle of Bywater as "The Cheese Tax"

Magic card "Sophia, Dogged Detective." It is a 3 4 that costs 1 mana plus green, white, and blue. It creates a dog token and lets you create food when dogs deal damage to players, and it sacrifices artifacts to make dogs stronger.

If you see this, post a castle

Castle Scarwall in Golarion, from Pathfinder.

Its basically Dracula's Castle, but with the serial numbers transmuted off. A solitary stone castle in a vast moat/lake with a long stone bridge leading to it.

I know that The Psion UA on @dndbeyond.com is old news, but I made this meme moments after I read it. I love teleport powers/characters, and the Psykinetic's enhanced offensive mode really says "Oh, it's on!" My next 5e character will be one of these two, just not sure which. #dnd #WotCStaff

Two frame meme. First frame is two buttons labeled "Psi Warper" and "Psykinetic"

Second frame is a woman sweating nervously while deciding which button to push labeled "Vanessa Building a Psion"

Oh boy, @heightadvantage.bsky.social is drawing Yexa Death's Head, my Pathfinder orc for Triumph of the Tusk. I'm so excited! This is just a WIP; we're going to make it so that she's giving someone the finger, rather than holding a bolt. #TTRPG #orc #YesThatsASukgung #Sniper #GetCrit

An orc woman with pea green skin, tattoos, and a bad attitude. She has shoulder length, greasy hair with a few braids. She wears leather armor and holds a sukgung (Korean crossbow) while giving someone the finger.

Ha! And I thought it was prideful arrogance this entire time! I do appreciate it, but I'm trying to work on myself and become more humble. Too often my instinct says "I could do that!" when perhaps I need to take a giant step back and check myself.

Vanessa Hoskins @gamedesigner.ninja · 08/05/2025

I should mention that I'm not going to break NDA, lose my job, and get sued. Therefore a solid: I can't say. You can ask about D&D, but not about future releases. For example, I'm a rogue main at heart but really love the warlock.

NGL: Unapproachable East and Kara-Tur... Will the forgotten Forgotten Realms get any attention other than just the Sword Coast?

Both very cute and sexy. Both horribly impractical. And both some of my favorite outfits. Did I mention that playing paper dolls is my favorite part about this game?

FFXIV cat girl dressed as a Vegas card magician. She has a giant lop-sided top hat, oversized bowtie, corset, bracers with poofed sleeves, tiny panties, and nylons held up by garders, plus fancy shoes with large bows. This is all black. Her thighs, midrif, and shoulders are all exposed skin. WAY too sexy to be practical.

FFXIV cat girl dressed as a "warrior princess." She has thigh-high black leather boots, a two-tier ruffly pink skirt, a skimpy silver breastplate with pauldrons, and is wielding a very large axe that's glowing pink and has a music note hovering around it. Her midrif and arms are exposed.

Vanessa Hoskins @gamedesigner.ninja · 07/05/2025

That's a toughie. Either my Astrologian, who is themed as a sexy Vegas card magician, or my Warrior for her Princess look. Lemme get those for you

NGL: Favorite full glamour set in FFXIV?

Vanessa Hoskins @gamedesigner.ninja · 07/05/2025

Somewhere between human feces and antisemitic graffiti, both fairly common in SF. I've seen more than my share of the mangled corpses of cats and dogs because they got hit by a car. Keep your pets safe, please

NGL: What is the worst thing you ever found just sitting in public

Vanessa Hoskins @gamedesigner.ninja · 07/05/2025

I'm supposed to say "my wife" but in reality it's my dog. Argo loves to kick me or lick me to wake me up. After, he usually lays on me and licks my face and lets me love and pet him. Vicki is not amused, since I "give him more attention." It's her fault; she got the dog.

NGL: who's the first person you think of in the morning?

Vanessa Hoskins @gamedesigner.ninja · 07/05/2025

Don't open the door. Barring that, they only have melee so slow them down and kite them or immobilize them. I want to be, but often skip that step when getting ready. I need to try harder. Cool and sunny with a slight breeze. Waffles!

Thanks! I think... Unless you mean that the stereotypical version of Hell is a fire furnace and not cool at all and therefore being cool as Hell means that I'm not at all cool... But then I'd be hot, so I'll still take it. I have felt cooler in the past, so good to know I still got it.

NGL: Hi Vanessa! I just wanna say I think you're cool as hell. Always have.
