Greeting everyone,

My name is Magpie, and I create youtube videos about #Dnd and #TTRPG topics creating stuff that I love.

From general advice to spell and monster craft. A few months in and I've been having a blast, swing by and check it out.

The greatest sparks of creativity happen when you're laying down to go to bed...

Playing the new season of #MarvelRivals , and frankly these 29 matches I played were so much more fun than the matches I played during Season 4.

Audio Recorded for Steelhearts. 43 Minutes of Raw Footage, and that was a bit surprising.

And another one down! Laid low by lightning!!

Magpie @creativemagpie.bsky.social · 12h

Good way of putting it

Magpie @creativemagpie.bsky.social · 16h

You know...might be a semi-right.

Magpie @creativemagpie.bsky.social · 17h

How unfortunate, was really wishing this was the one that did you in.

Because my temperature has sky-rocketed and I am now hoofing cold meds, I thought I'd let you know about the SECRET #ttrpg project now (before I go nap).

@thebeardedhalfling.bsky.social and I have created a Codex of Celestials! Most of it's coloured, BUT here's a hi-contrast title.

I would like to say a huge thank you to the incredible Joy for agreeing to work with me on creating the Codex of Celestials!

A 5e guide to everything Celestial!

Keep an eye out for the Kickstarter and prove your faith to the Arch-Angels themselves!

Compliance and faith will be rewarded.

Hey Friends, Fiends, and Faes

How do we feel about slimes? Are they monstrosities ? Weird plants? Are mimics slimes since they're shapeshifters. Give me your lore!

Magpie @creativemagpie.bsky.social · 1d

I need examples of fantasy dungeons from games, movies, series. Stuff accessible for examination.

Need it for something in December.

Magpie @creativemagpie.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah, and listen I have pages of notes on a video that I was going to make about DND sucking...but it just felt boring and uninspired.

Magpie @creativemagpie.bsky.social · 1d

Had a similar, though, and I am 200% here for it

Magpie @creativemagpie.bsky.social · 1d

One of my favorite 'useless normal monsters that I would love to see get a modern retrain'

I heard Primite M-Warrior #1, how's that sound?

Excavate Card Bot @cards.excavate.top · 1d

M-Warrior #1

EARTH / Warrior / Normal • Level 3 • ATK: 1000 / DEF: 500

Specializing in combination attacks, this warrior uses magnetism to block an enemy's escape.

Magpie @creativemagpie.bsky.social · 1d

Congrats!!

"Evil wins, when good decides to stay silent."

Jerks aren't ever fun to deal with, but don't let a few shitheads ruin the joy and comfort that many, many more people got out of something.

Magpie @creativemagpie.bsky.social · 1d

To hang an American Flag and a C. Kirk Flag from their forklifts. Just to be jerks. They were told to take them down because they can't hang any flags or decorations on company equipment.

Several supervisors had the "People make me want to not celebrate anything."

The Magpie thoughts/ quote...

Magpie @creativemagpie.bsky.social · 1d

My boss has a quote from me on his whiteboard in his office, and while the quote isn't mine, it is nice to share wisdom and it stick with someone.

Backstory, its Hispanic Heratige Month, and we did a spirit week. One day was Flag Week, and a few...true Patriots...decided

Magpie @creativemagpie.bsky.social · 1d

The strange disconnect I have felt about creators who "Fix DND Problems" and just sorta wishing they'd do more system agnostic videos.

Like...I want creative fantasy thought. I don't care about Wizard's of the Coast STILL being poorly designed and ran. :/

Halt!

None of you responded earlier. Don't go hurting my feelings now. I may be a villainous bird building an empire to conquer the world. But I have feelings too.

#TTRPG

Friends, Fiends, and Fae. What's your favorite place you've ever been through a dungeons OR designed a dungeon?

Build stuff that's never supposed to be seen, never supposed to be interacted.

Cause never underestimate the human ability to find the most improbably things do to, and do something even crazier.

GM Tip: Build secrets into your world that not even the players' characters are meant to uncover easily. Layers of mystery reward curiosity and encourage exploration.
