Luckily there's also a lot of dungeon synth (most actual artists) explicitly opposed to using AI. For example anything on these labels.

BRB, gotta time travel back to 1996 and tell the band "Straightened Tower Copacetic" they sound great but their name ain't all that yet

To anyone who doesn't like the implication that a plate cuirass is just an armored corset, remember that the term "wasp-walst" is commonly used to describe the predominant style from the mid-15th century onward

Low key nerd culture was thoroughly flourishing while all that stuff was happening and we were completely blind to the fact we were living in a golden age.

Goals the gnarled oak. Reality probably those potatoes

You can also remember that I'm involved so whatever you're doing it's gonna look good by comparison

Just not a wiener... (This week at least)

Obnoxious self promo is less obnoxious when it's @pretendeer.bsky.social shindig that I just lucked into being a part of. Just ten days now (next Friday).

Rendered and uploaded the video today, see you all at the premiere

It is finally happening! The first ever VIRTUAL DUNGEON CRAWL will premier in just a few weeks!

"Bonk," a story in four images

Ooh ohh, that means I can do Original Sorcery, as in the first sorcery ever, with the flavor everyone forgets about in the grocery store aisle behind the flashier new "flavor blasted" sorceries

Youthful exuberance is watching Top Gear and popping off when Clarkson says "power!" Maturity is realizing Hammond is your favorite presenter of the three. True wisdom is realizing that you were watching for James May all along.

My AOTY list was already gonna be crowded with lesser known stuff than last year (no Fief or Hedge Wizard taking a much-deserved spot), but this is absolutely going on there

A remarkable return-to-roots from one of dungeon synth's modern paragons. The sounds are all new, yet constructed of callbacks to everything that made me a fan a decade ago. Dungeon synth is for everyone and it's because of Erang that The Kingdom is Ours.

True, but I wish it was "Dodecahedronous Questing" off of Fief's 2017 dungeon synth epic, "III"

Vandren Firstal, 11th Baron Fenmoss @fenmosianfiresteel.bsky.social · 7d

That's the face I make when listening to "Return to Dis" off of Fvrfvr's 2019 dungeon synth Odyssey, "III"

Because apparently this is one of my more successful posts ever, I'll just go ahead and say it now.

Fantasy Synthesizer Music.

The aesthetic blend of classic RPG art and masks recognizable to vintage and modern audiences is perfect

If memory serves, they're the only ones the booker actually paid the visa application fee for.

That was a fan edit. The official poster uses their real logo, but anything to de-legitimize the nazzies is fun in my book.

Vandren Firstal, 11th Baron Fenmoss @fenmosianfiresteel.bsky.social · 9d

And not even just right wing, but actual nazis who won't even get mad at you for calling them nazis. Guy keeps booking more unfortunately, but he also refuses to pay for their visas so even they keep dropping.

I see no man (person) there, only a myth, a legend.

Vandren Firstal, 11th Baron Fenmoss @fenmosianfiresteel.bsky.social · 9d

Aw heck, bamboozled.
