Congrats on 4.5K, so deserved!

Dropping off two potential characters, because IDK who'd look better in your style. First off, Burton my lil freckled hayseed who is doing their best, and then a one, Sully, a gold-skinned aasimar merchant who is not at all shady or suspicious...

Putting out a call: if you were part of WOTC’s late-2010s live events (Stream of Many Eyes, D&D Live, The Descent), I would love to talk to you as part of the Actual Play book.

[email protected] will reach me, either to schedule a chat or to share your memories.

Please feel free to share.

#ocsky #art #artsky

The skeleton of a bat on a black background, surrounded by red roses and metal fences. There are drops of blood on the fences and daggers on the sides, and vampire teeth and snakes on top and bottom. Candles in the form of hands are burning on top.

Because it needs to be said:

The Salvation Army does not exist to save you

The Salvation Army exists to convert you

And if they cannot convert you, they will not lift a finger to save you

Do not support those whose “charity“ comes with conditions

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

The Lackadaisy Mixer book just dropped in the shop! - lackadaisy.store/products/lac...

It's full of character-themed cocktail and dessert recipes, 1920s history, and luscious photos by Nerlyn Galan, plus tons of art by me and numerous contributors!

Digitally painted cover art for the Lackadaisy Mixer book featuring character Wick Sable, an anthropomorphic cat in a top hat with a cocktail and playing cards in hand. Behind him is a gold and scarlet filigree design.

Donations that cause a player/character to do a certain accent for a while is always incredibly entertaining.

With all players consent, donations make a character monologue about their current thoughts / anxieties/the situation are very fun. It makes for a very funny reality TV feel.

and an illustration of 3 characters surrounded by an orange autumnal tree and graves. One character is a cat clown doll floating above the right shoulder of a large buff man with a beard and overalls, then floating over the man's other shoulder is a slightly transparent cowboy with green hair and heavy scars.

A few minutes ago in the House:

- Speaker Mike Johnson officially cancels votes next week, extending the House recess through a fourth week

- House Republicans block Democrats from passing a bill to pay the troops during the shutdown, ensuring they will miss paychecks next week

House Press Gallery: During today's pro forma session, the Clerk read a message from the Speaker designating Tuesday, October 14 through Sunday, October 19 as a district work period.

Punchbowl's Briana Reilly: House gaveled in and out of its pro forma just now w/o recognizing Rep Elfreth, who was seeking to UC a mil pay bill from Rep Sykes.

Elfreth told reporters after that House Dems stand “ready and willing to take” up standalone legislation to pay troops.

In trying unsuccessfully to source the cause of my chronic pain, I went to a number of doctors and specialists around the country. Over and over, my weight would come up.

Sometimes gingerly, sometimes passive aggressive, sometimes STRAIGHT to aggressive, but it was really hard for me to hear. 🧵 ⬇️

My fan cover for Montgomery LaMontgommery's upcoming book, finally spotlighting the most upstanding gentleman in all of Gath. THANK YOU for Wealwell @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social, @dimension20.bsky.social. He is everything I've ever wanted - nay, needed - and more.
#CloudwardHo #Dimension20

A faux book cover cartoony illustration in brown and teal tones. It shows the Cloudward Ho! cast in a heroic tableau: in the background, Olethra is happily steering the MechLeod, and Daisuke is up on a cliff, aiming a rifle towards centre frame; closer to the viewer are Van on the left, blowing her bosun whistle with tentacles a-tentacling, and Maxwell Gotch on the right, looking a bit unsure about what's happening; closer still are Monty on the left, holding his notebook and looking sagely off-frame, and Marya on the right, holding a huge wrench close to her chest and staring forlornly off-camera. And in the centre and the foreground, looking directly at the viewer, is the lithe, handsome, elegantly poised figure of Wealwell Gotch, hair golden, moustache curled, dressed in a fine teal suit and resting his hand on a katana. The top reads "Montgomery LaMontgommery", and the bottom "Where There's A Weal There's A Well".
The original designs for the Cloudward Ho! cast are by the wonderful Cait May.

If you want to do better, think better, behave better, you must instill in yourself that you can be wrong. When you're called out, you must stop and think through their concerns/claims rather than just assuming you're a good person and therefore couldn't have done it.

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage."

I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.

White People’s Performative Ignorance Is Exhausting—Opinion

Disbelief over authoritarianism in America isn’t a cutesy personality trait. It’s a confession: You haven’t been paying attention.
