It’s wallpaper time! What’s on your Lock Screen? I have over 20 photos set on random, here are some of my faves:

A photo of out 'Tavern Tales' candle - an 8 ounce candle in a square jar sitting on a stone bar top, with copper dice in front of it.

The candle is deep brown at the base and blends to a warm yellow at the top. The label on the candle reads:

Rich, creamy tonka bean and cardamom blends with a hint of sweet tobacco. It's like a night at the pub with friends.

More wild news in the TTRPG Community. I think Todd worked really well with Chris Perkins & Jeremy Crawford… Just sayin’. #D&D ‘s loss could be #CriticalRole ‘s gain

A post from Todd Kendrick about being laid off from D&D:

I have been laid off from D&D. Thank you to Chris Perkins, Jeremy Crawford and the entire D&D team for being some of the kindest, most talented and passionate people I've ever known. This was my dream job. The tabletop community has given me everything.

Big news in the TTRPG world, and a big scoop for Darrington Press, aka @criticalrole.bsky.social. I'm looking forward to seeing what Chris and Jeremy bring to the (gaming) table!

A post from Darrington Press over on Twitter:

Our adventuring party grows: Chris Perkins and Jeremy Crawford have joined us at Darrington Press!

These two powerhouse #TTRPG designers will be dreaming up new game concepts & expanding on our existing games!

Colby- @dndbeyond.bsky.social should watch the section about natural weapons scaling. It applies to plenty of other abilities too. My lvl 16 Forge Cleric never *ever* uses Blessing of the Forge anymore because +1 at that lvl is... trash. Have it scale to +2 at 8, +3 at 17 or something.

Screenshot from my forge cleric - the description of Blessing of the Forge:

At the end of a long rest, you can imbue magic into a weapon or armor by touching a nonmagical version. Until your next long rest or you die, the object grants +1 bonus to either AC or attack and damage rolls. You can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.

Howdy! I’m the owner/founder of Packpizzle’s Emporium- I craft fun, wonderfully scented TTRPG & D&D scented candles, all with a bit of magic. I’m an out & proud member of the LGBTQ+ family for… yikes, almost 40 years!?!?

Our Lore Master candle. It’s an 8 oz soy wax candle in a chonky glass jar with hand applied details.

The candle slowly changes color as the candle burns, and the scents are citrus, leather, and oakmoss.

Our Far Walker candle. It’s sitting on a slate surface, with lots of greenery around it.

Our label for The Healer candle. It reads:
“Crisp and refreshing, the aromas of bamboo, green tea, melon, and the ocean breeze will restore your spirit.”

Next to the text there’s an illustration of a small glass vial filled with a blue liquid. Yes, in my worlds, healing potions are blue.

If you see this, post some green art 🍃 (There's magic hidden inside 'The Far Walker' Candle - it turns green as the wax melts!)

My 'Far Walker' Candle. It's sitting on slate, surrounded by lush hydrangea bushes and moss, and a pair of green ceramic tiefling horns rest nearby. The label on the candle reads:

"The Far Walker - The bright, alluring scents of agave, pear, exotic flowers and a hint of moss will carry you to far-flung worlds."

I like to think of my D&D inspired candles as art! packpizzles.com

A photo of our 8-ounce candle called "The Bandit". The candle's name is on the top of the picture, and on the bottom, it reads 'Rich, Lush, Mysterious'.

The candle is burning, and you can see the wax changing from natural to a deep red. There's a hand beaded and tied twine around the neck of the candle jar. The label reads:

'A rich blend of sweet anise, lush black currant, and smoke. It's a scent that's sure to steal your heart.'

I was packing up an order to ship out today, and I stopped to sniff one of the candles. That's a perk from my business, not a kink, I swear. Point is, I forgot how spectacular "The Healer" smells. It's light and fresh with hints of green tea, melon, and ocean air. packpizzles.com #D&D #TTRPG

An image of "The Healer" 8 oz. candle. It's a large, chunky glass container sitting on a wooden surface with a stone wall behind it. There are blue glass stones around it.

The candle label reads:

Crisp and refreshing, the aromas of bamboo, green tea, melon, and the ocean breeze will restore your spirits."

I turned 60 today. The hubby gifted me with dinner at one of my favorite restaurants with 3 other couples whom I love dearly. Inappropriate gifts and much laughter ensued. Yes, that’s a dick shaped decanter. My friends know me.

It’s hard to see it, but there’s a blown glass decanter in the shape of dick & balls.

The holidays are a tricky time. For some it's festivity & family, for some a time of quiet introspection, and for others there's not much cheer, sadly. I wish you all the very best. I wish for you hearts healing, hearts full, and days spent in ways that bring you peace & happiness.
