Our little fellow has had his first bout of sickness. It was Covid of all things! Thankfully because the wife and I are vaccinated it showed just as a sore throat and cold. He’s on the mend, but this week has just disappeared. Thankfully I could work from home.

Going to slow time (over a few weeks - Got my baby to Dad, and work, and my group, life is fun, busy and wild) read these wonderful books. First impression: Lovingly bound, and oh my, they got that gooooood book smell. 😌📚💙 #Stonetop #TTRPG #Review #booksky #bookreview

Picture of the 2nd Gen Water Starter Totadile. My all time favourite. Mine is called Dundee.

Picture of the Gen 1 Grass Starter Bulbasaur. Mine, called John Wayne, was the best guy.

Picture of the Gen 7 Grass Starter, Rowlet. Hes my best bud and called Archimedes in my games.

Can’t recommend Elhyana enough to work with on great commissions. She is a talented artist (what she did for my book here! JUST LOOK AT IT! 👀😍), but is also a professional. Always communicates during the creative process, engaged well with clients, and was just fun to work with.

Commissioned art for the book cover of the Wyvern Band: Hunt for the Giants’ Hold.

The titular band stand on a rise as the wind blows westwards. They see a castle and village before mountains ahead of them.

My face only realising today that #Ludwig Season 2 is here! Can't believe I nearly missed it. Will be settling down to enjoy this delightful crime solving drama later.

Screengrab of David Mitchell playing the titular character Ludwig. He looks slightly shocked as he answers a phone in a checked apron, with sweater vest, shirt and tie.

My entry for the 3rd #jamsofthetimescape is in! Boulder Baby’s (1st) Birthday Bash! Containing a Magic Item, Stat Block and Encounter ideas, bring all the excitement only baby (giant otherwise) can to a Draw Steel game near you! Get it here: shorturl.at/WPRsu #drawsteel

Cover art for Boulder Baby’s Birthday Bash!

Boulder Baby, a Stone Giant infant, is sat I, and smiling at a trio of heroes (Tan the Fury, Blue the Tactician and Red the Elementalist) who have come across the curious tyke.

Boulder Baby is sat with his new toys, a stuffed toy of a stone giant warrior, and a rattle; made of granite, marble and gold.

My work has a monthly Life in Books Blog. This month my article was featured! Below is a snippet, highlighting my favourite book. Had to give a shout out to the great Sir Terry Pratchett. Would people be interested in the rest of the article? #Booksky #GNUTerryPratchett #Discworld #Blog 💙📚

Snippet from a Life in Books Blog. It reads:

If you could recommend one book that everyone should read,what would it be and why?

Absolutely anything by Sir Terry Pratchett (GNU, Terry Pratchett). However, if you pinned me down with the threat of an angry orangutan librarian if I didn't answer, I'd have to choose Night Watch by him above all others. It's just great fiction with a powerful message which all who serve should
read. What is the difference between what is right and justice? Who should police those in power? Is there ever a right time to bend your morale code for the greater good? All of this is covered and more, whilst packaged in a great piece of crime fiction, all doused in the exceptionally quick and humorous writing of the late great author. There are very few authors as great as Sir Terry Pratchett was, and we are all blessed that he got towrite so much before he left us.

How’s everyone getting on with there entries for the 3rd James of the Timescape, for Draw Steel? Really happy to be in this one. Got my ideas mostly sketched out, now just to get them onto paper and drafted as a product. Any advice on itch.io? I’ve not hosted work on there before…

QTP with games that were your favourite game during various points in your life

Picked this box up, with the original Hero Quest at a carboot in the 90s. Played soooo much of this from the age of 11 to 14.

I remember being sooo amazed by Uncharted at uni. It just looked amazing and played like an Indians Jones film.

Roll20 has allowed me to play so many TTRPGs mostly DND, with more to come, but I have had so many happy hours on this site using this system.

So my birthday and the launch of my book come to an end. It’s honestly been so eventful, though not much of that to do with the book at all. Just one of those big sort of days. Thought of doing some post today, showcasing more of the book, but yeah, I think it’s just to bed. More tomorrow.

A picture of a page in a Disney Storybook. It’s for the 14th of July, and is a story from Disneys the Lion King. Above the story there is a picture of Nala and Simba, from the ‘Can you feel the love tonight’ scene. The title of the story is ‘All Wet’….

Playing around in Scriptorium by @yazagames.com has been fun. Working on a Draw Steel Solo, 'Ol' Sally Long Legs'. Reckon if I get good with the software, it could be a fun other way of doing monster art etc.

In Scriptorium (a video game) a picture has been created of a large black and white haired spider. Green goopy ichor drools from their mouth as they hang from a web over unsuspecting prey.

After watching @mattcolville.bsky.social ‘s latest Twitch Stream, and his discussion of the Draw Steel Dastards from the Encounters book, I had to make this. I for one look forward to our Named Eyepatched Goblin Overlords.

The meme format of Malibu Stacy new hat and fans wanting it. Text reads:

Lisa (holding a Malibu stacy aka a Draw Steel Dastards)

It’s just a goblin with a name and a stupid new eyepatch

Smithers (aka MCDM fans)

But it’s got a new eyepatch I want it I want it I want it.
