🤔 My first instinct is towards 🪄 because I’m usually a Sorcerer in D&D, but I’m often more of a 🏹 user in video games.
So I’m going to evade the specifics of your challenge and highlight “The Last Ranger” by @jdlrosell.bsky.social this time! 🤓

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Empire of the Wolf by Richard Swan!
With a breathing world and complex characters, his gradual introduction of the occult led to a jaw-dropping climax--though Book 2 remains my favorite installment.
Recommend you pick up the trilogy!

Peak René Aigner art! 😍 I'm thrilled to unveil the latest artwork going into An Emperor's Gamble!
From the original cover artist for Legend of Tal, we have a pivotal scene at the Nightelf village of Naruah.
Honored to still be working with René half a decade later!

The wife & I have been on a Studio Ghibli kick of late!
So far, we've watched Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away. Howl's we particularly enjoyed, though both were spectacular.
Do you have a favorite Studio Ghibli movie? Let me know - always wondering which one we should go for next.
