A new D&D Barbarian subclass I've been working on, the Path of the Rhythm: a barbarian who loses themselves in music rather than raging. Really hungry for feedback, good or bad! #dnd #ttrpg #homebrew #barbarian

An unwritten law of the universe: digging through old records in any flea-market, garage-sale or resale shop, in any part of the country, you’ll find this:

I, too, went to Costco unsupervised, with a list that just said “snacks”. A rookie mistake on my wife’s part, despite 20 years of marriage.

A bag of Orange chicken puffs, which taste pretty much just like it says. Super sweet, with a hint of heat at the end. Now in fun drumstick shapes!

A bag of Brazi Bites, frozen cheesy dough balls that are supposedly from Brazil. If this is true, Brazil is guilty of hiding both elderly Nazis AND yummy treats.

A bag of Tomato Basil pizza crisps, because it took until the year of our lord 2026 for someone to finally realize the burnt cheese is the best part.

Nothing. My vague memory from 40+ years ago was that he might have come in a blister with 2 other figures (which I still have somewhere in storage), and that the spears were cut metal rod stock and very rigid.

Any experts in old miniatures who can identify this fella? He used to have a spear, I’m pretty sure I got him and a few others in the 80s at the Dungeon hobby shop in Lake Geneva

As the weather gets warmer and unexpected plumbing repairs pop up, it seems timely to remind you all that I've designed a couple of nerdy button-down shirts that you or someone you're fond of may enjoy. #ttrpg #nerdcouture #promosky www.etsy.com/shop/vorpalt...

This boxed set from Rhino had music, poetry, radio news segments and interviews of a generation of often-forgotten artists, mavericks and lunatics from the sidelines of the culture. Rhino made some great compilations, this one came along right when I needed it.

Drew a little #ttrpg thingie, a mushroom dragon. Maybe it's just that some dragons are made of fungi, or maybe myconids revived a dragon corpse and it got away from them. Either way, it's going to breathe a cloud of spores that will mess you up. Might have to write up a stat-block.
