More fun facts from the Lord of the Rings audio books! Frodo was still in Hobbiton when the Ringwraiths first showed up there looking for him. He heard one talking to The Gaffer - it was REALLY close! #lotr #fotr #book #books #audiobook #audiobooks #ringwraith #booksvsmovies

Justice for Farmer Maggot! (Fellowship of the Ring movie did him dirty). I'm re-reading Lord of the Rings for the first time in a LONG time and it's been *REALLY* interesting to note the differences between the films and the books since I've seen the films dozens of times. #lotr #movies #books

Woohoo! I've collected 7 of the 9 art styles for the Nazgul cards in the Magic: The Gathering, Lord of the Rings set💪(plus the Witch-King and a generic Ringwraith). I'm excited to make a deck with these once I complete the collection! #lotr #mtg #magic #cards

Our first Sanderson book! The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England was a blast! The story pulls you in quickly & the premise is a neat twist on popular tropes. Pacing was a bit end-heavy, but Pixy and I didn't mind because it was so fun. 4.5 ⭐ (if you know, you know 😉) #Cosmere

REALLY enjoyed adding "skill challenges" to overland travel during D&D yesterday! They add variety beyond social & combat encounters + PCs used untouched spells/skills Difficult terrain, inclimate weather, equipment failure, hunting/gathering, & navigation Can you think of any others? #dnd #ttrpg

Day 3/3 of our Dungeons and Dragons Fortune cards for 4th edition! Nasty combo in this pack: knock down with 2nd attack card, then use 3rd attack card to do it again when they stand up! This was supposed to be posted last weekend, but time got away from me! Sorry! #DND #4e #TTRPG #card #pack

Day 2/3 of our Dungeons and Dragons Fortune cards for 4th edition. Packs seem to have one card w/ full art; about half the pack are tactics cards & the other half is split b/w attack & defense cards. Anyone out there played 4e? How do these compare to normal abilities? #DND #TTRPG #4e #card #pack

Our first pack of our Dungeons and Dragons 4e Fortune Cards (2011)! I love these! Curious how exactly they would be used. Rip a pack and draw blind in the moment? Open early and know what you have? They seem easily adaptable & fun to implement! #DND #4e #ttrpg #Fortune #card #booster #pack

HereThereBeMonsters @htbm.bsky.social · 17/04/2025

Ooo, these look fun! Apparently they are for Dungeons and Dragons 4th edition and you draw actions/special abilities from them to use in dungeons/combat. I wonder how adaptable they are for other versions? I'm going to open one each day for the next few days and we'll see! #DND #Cards #4e #pack

Hey DMs and GMs! How do politics work in your world? The Kingdom of Rin is ruled by a non-absolute monarch who can be granted dictatorial power in times of great need. In peace, a triumvirate council rules - King, High Priest, & the combined vote of the Barons. #DND #Worldbuilding #TTRPGcommunity

Pixy and I just rewatched The Darkest Hour (2017) and Gary Oldman freaking slayed the role of Winston Churchill. The music is great, the acting is on point, the sets and costuming are beautiful. I'm no film critic (or historian) but I think it's one of the best historical biopics I have ever seen.

A question for Dungeon Masters & Game Masters! What drives a peasant to move (or not move) onto someone's land? I have: risk, location, infrastructure, & access to goods. My Knight/Paladin has a fort + land, so I'm making a system to determine the rate of settlement. #DND #GM #DM #KingdomOfRin

This is going to be so much fun! I picked this up for Pixy's birthday as a fun activity to do together 😁 It's a gold pan, collection bottle, storage vial, and a 2.5 pound bag of "paydirt" with a guaranteed minimum amount of gold flakes in it. Should be a blast! Will post updates :)
