Sadly won’t be going to MCM/the HR one-shot (I’m at a punk fest in Camden instead!) but very keen to find out what the big announcement is afterwards. 👀

Well, the Internet going down is certainly one way to put a pause in what was otherwise a busy and intense day at work. I guess it’s tomorrow’s problem now. Can I go and play DND now?

Prew @emmaprew.bsky.social · 4d

It’s here and it’s all so pretty! Now I just need enough friends who have read the Stormlight Archive and want to play with me… @brotherwisegames.bsky.social

I’ve decided I’m going to re-listen to the whole first episode whilst I work today and this is how I will imagine everyone. 😍

My first Campaign 4 art, and as is tradition, I came up with my own takes on the characters going mostly from the in-game descriptions & vibes during the first episode as a fun character design challenge that I do each campaign

A very large illustration of all 13 of the main cast all with their reactions to Thjazi's execution. The designs are different from the canon ones, some more than others.

Watched the first episode of Campaign 4 yesterday and yes, as predicted, Liam was breaking my heart within minutes.… and I love it. Tragic bard, I guess you’re my favourite. #criticalrole

Lets go campaign 4!

I'm looking forward to the third part of the Assassin's Apprentice graphic novel coming out at the end of the year. I'd also like to try and create some more RotE art at some point. And I'm sure it won't be too long until I pick up the first book again. Until then, please read these books too!!

Prew @emmaprew.bsky.social · 11d

Shoutout @buckkeepradio.bsky.social for their indepth + hilarious backcatalogue. Making me think about things I'd never considered + emphasising thoughts about characters/moments in the series. It's nice to feel like I'm having a convo about this beloved (😉) series, even if I'm silent in the convo.

Prew @emmaprew.bsky.social · 11d

In 2017 the last book in the last series, Assassin’s Fate, was released and although I didn’t meet Hobb myself I did get a signed copy of the book when she did a signing in MK This is the only physical RotE book I have, apart from the graphic novels, so it’s pretty special that it’s signed to me.

Prew @emmaprew.bsky.social · 11d

I first read Assassin’s Apprentice in 2012 and proceeded to read all of the other books in the epic Realm Of The Elderlings universe over the next 5 years. Hobb soon became my top author of all time. Perhaps slightly overshadowed by Sanderson in recent years but I'm back to Hobb being No. 1 now.

Prew @emmaprew.bsky.social · 11d

My Realm Of The Elderlings re-read is complete and I'm pondering how long I should leave it until I start all over again. No one does characters like Robin Hobb does and no other books make me feel all the emotions that these do, especially the ones with Fitz and the Fool. I love them so much…

September reading stats. 📚 I think this is the lowest count for non-‘picture’ books I’ve read in a month, with only two here. But what excellent two books they are! I was really trying to finish book three as well but it’s a long trilogy (Fitz and the Fool by Robin Hobb).

Unclear what the ghostly cat is all about but they were advising the other cat not to trust the evil cat lady and other brainwashed cats.

Baking cookies for the first session of my new DND campaign starting tomorrow night. I’m not usually a baker*. Clearly I want to make a good impression. 😅🍪

*I have taste tested the first batch and they are all good. 😮‍💨

Why does the theme song change part way through Frieren season one? I don’t watch that many anime shows, so maybe it’s standard? I really liked the original theme. 😅

Prew @emmaprew.bsky.social · 20d

Wolf Father is that you? …Except, y’know, a cat. @buckkeepradio.bsky.social

ps. This feels a more timely reference as I’m on Fool’s Quest episodes in my podcast listening but I realise I’m several years late.

Feeling tired and lazy after two gigs/late nights in a row so rather than doing anything overly productive today I’ve drawn my new DnD character… who is so new that I haven’t actually played them yet. Meet Ivy.

Ivy the halfling druid. She has auburn hair which is shaved on the left side, with a little plait, and unruly curls on the right. She has green eyes and freckles. She’s wearing green and brown, including an Ivy leaf broach.

Just finished Fool’s Quest on the train to London. 😢

Remembered to download Assassin’s Fate before leaving home – it’s the only Hobb book I own physically (because it’s a signed copy!) but the hardback isn’t very practical to lug around.

Prew @emmaprew.bsky.social · 24d

Made it home in time to head to London and see one of my fave bands (and good friends) play an album release show. Listen to New Lungs by Burnt Tapes!

Spent the first part of this week in rainy but beautiful Yorkshire, staying at a fully vegan BnB – Beck Hall. Very chill.

What better way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon than writing the backstory for your new DnD character. 🤓🍂

Prew @emmaprew.bsky.social · Sep 13

I should probably get up and do something useful. Or I could just read one more chapter in bed…

Fool’s Quest by Robin Hobb, Book Two of the Fitz and the Fool trilogy. On Kindle. In bed. On a Saturday morning.

Prew @emmaprew.bsky.social · Sep 8

I forgot how long it takes for the Fool to make an appearance in this book with their name in the title. Almost at the end. 😭😭

Oops. I just pre-ordered myself a dice advent calendar. First time I’ll have ever had a non-chocolate advent calendar. 😅
