First time moving to another state and boy...... it was a big pain. Finally mostly settled. Slowly starting to draw and get into things again. A tidbit of a "Candy Corbold" (a pun based on ye old Kobold from Pathfinder and candy corn)

This one was simple to draw but fun. Always loved sugar skulls for their designs and their association with Dia De Muertos so I was like.... "well if I'm trying to think of a psychopomp and god/demigod of the dead and natural passage why not make it based on that concept?"

Not dead, just very busy in life. Have been making stat blocks for a bestiary section of my Pathfinder 2e project but realize I was getting burned out so have started drawing em I was planning on just doing sketches to make things easier but .... it's hard to just not make full drawings of things.

GMing Starfinder 2e. A player is talking about their character eating peanut butter while trying to poorly relay info with his mouth full. "If you go to the kitchen and stuff your mouth with peanut butter I'll give you a hero point for being in character." (He did) *Cue the Mii Song

I think one of the most challenging tests for a GM in a ttrpg isn't the big story beats and big moments......but rather how you handle the downtime, travel and small moments Had a session tonight solely of downtime and travel. Was challenging but worked out really well.

Nothing like spotting an issue with image transparency across both of my Candyland ttrpg PDFs that only appeared when you zoomed in (Black boxes galoreeee) Having to go through every image. Re-export them in clip studio paint and reimporting them into my documents...... ......is a royal pain.

Gamers Nexus just casually drops a 3 hour documentary on tariffs that explain the impacts in detail. Kudos to them. youtu.be/1W_mSOS1Qts?...

I think when I eventually complete my Pathfinder 2e candy setting. I'm going to make a Starfinder 2e conversion document. Simple lore on how the world would evolve to be a planet of candy people in the larger universe that GMs could use as both an origin for a player or a location they could visit.

I decided to peruse Twitter for a few minutes since leaving ages ago. "How bad could it be? Can't have gotten worse....." I was wrong. Holy hell I was wrong. What a cesspool.

Splitting my PDF's into a Player and GM book. Have to add another page to the players book so it doesn't mess with all the page layouts from missing a page early on in the document. I'm fiddling around with a doodle for it. In An early WIP stage.

A question for folks that play Pathfinder. When you have a bestiary of monsters..... Do you prefer it to be organized by Creature Level or by "types" of monsters?

It's taken ages to go through the Monster Core to convert Pathfinder monsters to candy variants for my project. Even when it's just lore it took ages. Finally wrote it all out. Now I just have to lay out pages and sketch out the art. Will probably keep the art as sketches due to the sheer volume.

Today was the day I learned Brandon Sanderson and Tracy Hickman (who co-authored Dragonlance) are Mormon. It's kind of funny how many fantasy writers are Mormons too. Who knew.

I've seen a lot about session zero's. Usually I'll do one but I'm surprised I haven't heard of the concept of an "Investment Questionnaire" That... seems SUPER important now that I think of it. It forces players to actually think about their character and tie them to the story youtu.be/Mp6t4pxdcMk

Think I might divide my Pathfinder candy land project into 2 pdf's (probably will still bundle them together). One for ancestries and player stuff, the other for lore and GM stuff. I haven't posted any WIP's in awhile. I had a lot of fun making a bunch of factions with banners awhile back.

Working on my candy land Monster Core conversions for my Pathfinder 2e project and one of my favorite ideas is that HP Lovecraft like creatures are salt based. In this world of sweetness and sugar, salt is an unfathomable thing. Some might embrace an Eldritch entity's power like a "salted caramel"

Brainstorming candy variants of Monster Core creatures for my Pathfinder project. I was trying to think of a variant for orcs when the image of a peppermint came to mind. An image of a white mint orc creature with jagged striped patterns across their body almost like warpaint. Thus a Morc is born

I think over years of playing ttrpgs like DnD and Pathfinder. Smaller scale tends to feel better in practice than larger. Smaller groups of players. Not too many monsters and NPCs in battle. Not too many things to keep track of. Not rushing too quickly into a large scale story and starting small.

I've been using Clip Studio Paint for like 8 years. One of the best purchases I made

josiahsdoodles - Current WIP: candyland PF2e project @josiahsdoodles.bsky.social · 06/11/2024

One of the things that is taking the longest with my candy land project is figuring how to convert Monster Core monsters into candy variations lore wise I want people to be able to use existing stat blocks but with candy lore for the mechanics. Takes a bit though to brainstorm names and lore

There are few things to me that are funnier than when in a ttrpg a throwaway NPC you improv'd ends up becoming the BBEG

josiahsdoodles - Current WIP: candyland PF2e project @josiahsdoodles.bsky.social · 12/10/2024

GM's what I'd call my players first true blue battle in Starfinder 2e. They're newer players and they rolled well and strategized well. But man, they had a +1 buff from Anthem and the number of times they would have missed or not crit without it really drove home the "every +1 counts" to them haha

The good timing when I took several days off this week and several Pathfinder books showed up today in the mail. (I've read the world guide plenty but wanted a physical world map it comes with along with the physical book to read. haha)

josiahsdoodles - Current WIP: candyland PF2e project @josiahsdoodles.bsky.social · 17/08/2024

I love when a random throwaway NPCs in a ttrpg becomes major plot point. GMing Starfinder 2e, players goal is to take jobs as mercs and save up enough to get off world. Instead of going the get a ship route they charm an NPC and sign on for a 90+ day Terraforming job on a distant planet 1/2

Got a bunch of friends in a DnD group I'm in to let me run #starfinder2e I think Starfinder peaked their interest with "scifi DnD" and once I explained the rules they were like "that's all really cool!" Where normally they wouldn't really want to try Pathfinder they now really like the rules.

Looking for opinions from Pathfinder folks as I reformat my project. If I highlighted certain phrases in feats would that be helpful or distracting to you? To me, I like this as it feels easier to get the important bits while skimming the text. But I could see this also being distracting to some

After typing in Clipstudio Paint for my projects text for ages where if my paragraphs get too long I have to wait like 30 seconds to type anything, actual publishing software is a nice change of pace.

josiahsdoodles - Current WIP: candyland PF2e project @josiahsdoodles.bsky.social · 05/06/2024

Huh, Actually I do like the licorice divider for my Pathfinder candyland project. It's also not nearly as hard to convert from clipstudio paint to Affinity Publisher 2 as I was expecting. It's going to be interesting seeing how these things look in double spreads.

josiahsdoodles - Current WIP: candyland PF2e project @josiahsdoodles.bsky.social · 05/06/2024

Starting the giant of a task of converting my Pathfinder candyland project to an actual publishing software rather than doing it all in clipstudiopaint. Realized as well that I didn't design it for book formatting IE double pages. Going to try a licorice divider in the middle and see how it looks

Getting closer to being done. Probably just gotta add a few finishing touches and some background. #ttrpg #candyland

josiahsdoodles - Current WIP: candyland PF2e project @josiahsdoodles.bsky.social · 06/01/2024

Slowly drafting out a bit more on the chocolich drawing. Gotta figure out the right balance for colors and values in the background. #ttrpg #candyland

josiahsdoodles - Current WIP: candyland PF2e project @josiahsdoodles.bsky.social · 04/01/2024

Hmmm.... trying to see where I wanna take this. A bit more refining and we'll see if I keep the face effects or not #ttrpg #candyland

josiahsdoodles - Current WIP: candyland PF2e project @josiahsdoodles.bsky.social · 03/01/2024

Drawing gummi stuff is always fun but challenging to figure out. More WIP on my Chocolich and this poor gummi bear knight #ttrpg

021

josiahsdoodles - Current WIP: candyland PF2e project @josiahsdoodles.bsky.social · 01/01/2024

Super rough drawing on a "Chocolich". A bit harder to depict as well...... it's hard to depict an "undead" chocolate. So I'll probably add spooky glowing eyes, a magic flame "drain" like magic effects. around the touch and gummi bear. Might modify the cape as it's kind of vampire-ish. Might not

Probably calling my "Gobs" art done. Maybe I'll add some background details later but for now I think it captures the vibe I wanted of wild goofy murderous goobers. #ttrpg #ttrpgmonster art #candyland

josiahsdoodles - Current WIP: candyland PF2e project @josiahsdoodles.bsky.social · 30/12/2023

Laying down a base color for my candyland "Gobs" monster art. I probably could draw more efficiently and quicker by painting everything all at once in a layer but I like isolating every color as its own layer so I can keep things as clean as possible and keep things consistent-ish #ttrpg

josiahsdoodles - Current WIP: candyland PF2e project @josiahsdoodles.bsky.social · 25/12/2023

I've had a pun in my head about a fantasy gang war of the "Crypts" vs the "Bloods" for too long. A group of necromancers vs blood mages. Guarantee others have already thought of this #ttrpg #dnd #pathfinder

A lot of folks in the ttrpg space collect mini's/tokens, maps etc..... I like collecting music. There is something about having a big folder of music your players have never heard that fits all the right scenes. Just listening and labeling them is fun. Trying to picture what scenes they fit

One monsters I've been trying to figure out is the equivalency of a "Goblin" in my candy world. Then when I was looking at the word I was like "Huh..... Goblin......Gob........ Gobstopper..... what about lil hard candy murderous munchkins that can only say the word gob?" Starting to rough draft

Guest DMing a friends 5e game. In an underwater area. Throw a bait and switch of the party hearing music and thinking it was a siren but once they got closer it sounded more like a fiddle. They see this strange fiddling skeleton which is controlling the nearby algae to strangle and leech 1/2
