a label on some produce I bought says "remember: food safety is EVERYONE'S business" and LISTEN... YES we should be being VERY careful, but it isn't our "business". the CDC and FDA, which had resources severely cut? it's THEIR business. that's the problem! the people whose business it is, are gone!

I’m not sure what to name him. Maybe Snaggle, I can’t wait to have my players face off against this beasty. #dnd #miniatures #miniaturepainting.

Toad bandit from Dragon Trappers Lodge. Just like the model, no real plans for him. WIP. #miniaturepainting #nerdlings #dragontrapperslodge

I forgot to record a pregame video before yesterday’s session. Many spiders were harmed in yesterday’s salvage operation aboard the Emperor of the Waves! #dnd #tabletopthings

I’d like to know how much Freedom 250 cost the American tax payer and an accurate head count of those who attended. Would their lives be better off if they just got their equal part of that money?

Libraries are meant to be filled with color. Libraries are meant to be places where “activists and homeless” are welcomed. I know so many librarians who have helped the unhoused find jobs and housing because of library resources. The library is safety for the folks who need it most.

DM: You see some insane scrawlings on the walls, books sit on the tables, 2 gargoyles perch on the far corners, & there are 2 non-load bearing pillars with interesting runes carved in… Player 1: I pick up the books & start reading. DM: We move out of exploration and into the trap, roll initiative.

Well brother… I’m gonna need you to roll for initiative yeah! I got a 23! YEAH! Now I’m gonna need you to make an opposed grapple check… and I’m gonna take you to the depths of my lightning breath, make a Dexterity saving throw at disadvantage because you’re restrained… DIG IT! #dnd #miniatures

Sometimes you find a mini that makes an encounter arrive where none was before. The Thornmother is the latest for me. #dnd #miniatures #miniaturepainting

The year was 2002. We were sitting around a card table for D&D and I rolled out a predrawn chessex map with FOUR COLORS! This is almost exactly like that. The chessex map is still stained red. #dnd #dwarvenforge

Here’s a colossal mini (finished, & early stages with art reference) that I made for my son’s Daggerheart campaign. 🙂

When my gaming group ventured into Star Wars campaigns our sessions often broke down into conversations about the type of music this group played and no one ever tells you you’re in the good old days.
