Mists of Stegeborg — The New Batch – Chapter 1

Previously, I was on the wrong side of the GM screen and lived to write about it. Now I’m steering. New table, fresh disasters, and a party who treat investigation as a suggestion. They shoot first…

I just finished this up in a SmArtSchool mentorship class with Sam Weber. 😊 The assignment was to create an illustration with an original character, and I went with my current D&D character 😅

A woman with a shaved head in gold armor stands among dark briars. The briar thorns pierce her armor and skin in a few places, and she hangs her head in a defeated posture.

Welcome to tonight’s episode of Andy Thinks About Something Too Much (note: needs a better title)

In this episode we’re going to talk about the Alien franchise and why only the first four movies work.

And yes, I do mean four.

Tonight's game / social is delayed, so time to spend the time wisely - browsing DaFont to see if I can find a font I like for a thing with no actual idea about what sort of look I want. Let's see what catches the eye!

Got some new stuff on the store. #dice #dnd #ttrpg

A 30mm d20 chonk. The colors are a reddish pink and green with black numbers. It looks like a watermelon. Not edible.

A set of polyhedral dungeons and dragons geode dice. Inspired by Star Wars and named after the song Duel of the Fates. The base color is black and there's red glitter inside the geode. The numbers are painted red.

Thank you for your belief in me 😄

I mean, work is also pretty important 😄 but my company pay for that laptop and they won't let me edit with it, so it's a bit more out of my control 😁

I've been putting it off for ages, but the clock seems to be literally ticking for how much longer this will last for, and I have far too much editing I need to do to risk waiting any longer and losing stuff - I've had that happen before and it's just not worth the stress.

I don't know or understand Linux, I'm afraid, and I need something with a lot of memory for the audio processing, and a lot of storage space for similar reasons. I have too many other hyperfixations to try to learn how to use a new OS and I can't risk that it won't work with my programmes 🙁

I do indeed! 😁 I remain very grateful ♥️

Adam Beltaine @maddambeltaine.bsky.social · 18h

I see that counts! Thank you very much 🥰

Some of that will be coming back your way in the new year, I need to speak to you about a commission. I'd have done it earlier, but aforementioned now having to buy a new laptop 😄

I had one of those, but eventually it worked out cheaper to just buy a new one than to get all the upgrades we'd need for Lou to keep playing WoW. That and I'm so rusty these days about upgrading 😁

Out today, the latest Tyrant Philosophers piece - book 3.5 in the series is a novella length offering about the life of Angilly, who we met in Days of Shattered Faith. You don’t need to have read that (or any of them) to read this.

Bookish Scifi & Fantasy @bookishsff.bsky.social · 19h

Lives of Bitter Rain by @aptshadow.bsky.social is out today!

A novella in the Tyrant Philosophers series, this book takes a deep dive into the character of Angilly and her past, and further explores the empire's reach, and the costs of living inside it...

Thanks matey. It's been due for a while now, honestly, but while it's been chugging along I've been putting it off. But i think I've hit the point where I need to be realistic and be glad I have some savings! 😄
