Me, admiring the horror comics section at the local comic book shop, picking up a trade paperback.

My wife: "No, we are getting a present for your nephew. You can't buy that today. Put it back."

Me: "I can look at stuff without buying."

Drew my OC, Raven, in Jim Lee's style.

Jim Lee is probably the biggest influence on my art style. One of my first comics is X-Men #1. From then on, I always wanted to draw like him and frequently referenced his work in my early doodles.

My nephew got his first D&D starter set for his birthday, so naturally, we went out and bought him some minis, dice and a velvet dice bag so he can roll with style.

Last night we ran a Dinner and Dragons fundraiser. We had 8 tables, drink specials like mana potions and raised money for a local charity.

My table was filled with good vibes and everyone was really pumped when I was passing out posters to book me as a GM for a private game.

Cyberpunk: "You can hack them and sneak around and stuff."

Me, frustrated and impatient after dying to some bullshit, "Hack this shotgun, bitches"

If the game didn't want me to blast all the bad guys with a shotgun in 2 seconds, it wouldn't have made it so easy to do that.

Tip for the GMs, writers, and worldbuilders out there;

I'm comin' back with my favorite piece of advice!

Make your worlds weird.

Don't just copy Tolkien 1:1, don't make Star Wars Again™- make it weird. Inject your personality into the world.

Embrace the weirdness, make it unique.

#TTRPG

My kid and his new teacher found common ground through Star Wars.

He saw his teacher had some star wars figurines on the shelf.

I have a lightsaber and hot wheels Star Wars ships in my office.

My boss' kid calls me "the Star Wars guy" 😎

"What kind of pub does your character prefer?"

"Do you have a preferred shopkeeper?"

-Street urchins trying scams, selling rumours

-Cops are usually useless/unhelpful or dicks to the players

-Snakeoil Huckster type selling big dreams, short on details but plenty of yapping & schemes to quest

My kid: "Dad, can you teach me to be a Dungeon Master?"

Don't just give your D&D players cursed items, give them booby trapped items with specific conditions.

I gave my kids a booby trapped flute that exploded in fireworks when played really badly (Performance 5 check).

1d4 fire damage, colour spray effects.

I still can't believe how much the show gets away with.

The guy with an bag of holding for an asshole is endlessly stupid & funny.

Another guy, a rapist, gets his dick ripped off, & just gets made fun of every episode after it happens.

The CGI is fantastic & the writing is pretty tight.

Gen V has done a great job adapting & updating the storyline from the original comic books.

In the comics, Goldolkin is a child grooming pedo who runs a school for kids with powers (Professor X).

The show goes in a different direction, & has a lot to offer.

The finale was great. It's a good watch

Had an "Oh shit" moment when I accidentally stayed up until 2am doing session prep for D&D.

When the writing bug hits you, you answer the call 😅

Followed by my GM:

"Why are you like this?"

"It's narrative gold baby!"

Me, playing D&D, talking to the Dragonborn player,

"So... Do you eat eggs?"

"Why? That's a weird question."

"Well, Dragonborn come from eggs... Would it be awkward for you?"

"Do you eat fetuses?"

"No, so... Eggs?"

"Yes, I eat eggs. Including owlbear eggs."

"Wow, bougie taste!"

My players have been battling ICE Second Inquisition squads raiding local kindred hideouts for about the last 20 sessions.

Pure chaos. My ears were ringing

Needless to say, they were vexed by the fey, victims of the destruction the players wrought in the forest.

The only creatures they got along with were Will & Zed, the myconid bros who enchanted & charmed them with mushroom magic spells.

Then the party got their hands on torchstalk mushrooms 💀

Today I ran an Adventure Academy table for the kiddos with our local D&D group.

They immediately attacked the quest giver, tried to light the town on fire, got arrested & banned from the town.

So I had them meet Popper (from BG3) who sent them on a quest. They immediately plotted his demise.

Last night at D&D I bought a bunch of bottles of grease, and handed them out to the party.

"Why are you always doing this? Who needs grease?"

Then we went into Neverwinter forest, & were attacked by tree blights & needle blights!

We threw the grease, and our torches, & had a bad guy bonfire. 😎

How it feels when your buddy's D&D has been cancelled for more than 6 months, and you finally get to play:

Food scientists are already explaining that all vegetables contain lead, because lead just naturally exists in soil.

And the exposure from protein powder is about on par with eating potatoes and carrots, which is to say, a low amount.

People are right to worry about lead, but dosage matters.
