art vs artist, but it's all giant skulls on fantasy maps. #ttrpg #skull #darkart #b&wart #artvsartist

an assemblage of 8 black and white giant skulls on fantasy maps, around a selfie of me. I have long black hair and I'm wearing a skeleton mask.

This video about the "oldest" anarchy server in Minecraft got me thinking about D&D--in a world where magic can be used to create and destroy, the end result is an apocalyptic landscape full of ruins, mystery, beauty, lore, and forbidden artifacts. youtu.be/-3eTxoWSo7c?...

One thing was proven true by our garage sale experience. Beware leaving a stack of board games unattended on the sidewalk, because you’ll come back and there will be another copy of Cards Against Humanity.

I made a post where I used AI to play my game how to host a dungeon. But I have deleted it now, while I think about the results. It was a somewhat morbid and a somewhat professional curiosity that drove me, but it didn’t give me much in the way of concrete conclusions.

In Tarot you sometimes will get the same reading over and over. When this happens, take heed. The universe is trying to tell you: you are not very good at shuffling.

A friend has requested I gift him a tarot deck. But which deck? He's a high level developer, very analytical, a gamer, and a fan of sci-fi and fantasy. It should be a somewhat serious deck, not a gimmick deck, and a good one for a beginner to do readings. Classic Rider-Waite-Smith is on the table.

So many important life moments start with “what do you want and need?” But answering this question is the hardest process and can take years of work, besides constantly changing.

Apparently this caused a fuss. As a professional technical writer I can say we’re already there. People who write for work in my world are using LLMs or mimicking the style because it’s already standard.

my brother & his partner are telling me an insane story about this local deity called "st. rat" which is apparently a mosaic relief put up by some queers in seattle. the city kept trying to paint over it, but people would repeatedly just use acetone and remove the paint until the city gave up

I’m so happy with how the glaze came out on my coelacanth dish! I was afraid I’d made a mess of it and it would be a disaster but it came out better than I hoped. I want to make more large fish dishes!

Close up on the scales. The glaze is a dark metallic color with a mottled blue texture.

In 2003 I learned how to read the Daedric alphabet from The Elder Scrolls by having this map, which came packaged with Morrowind, laid out on my bedroom floor and decoding which letter matched to each on the placenames dotted around the island. I would not have done so with a link to a pdf.

NOT FOR EVERYONE

Most reviews of DUNGEON DEGENERATES start off with a warning that this is not a game, specifically an art style “for everyone”.
