My human Talent for my tuesday night #DrawSteel game decided to levitate one of our dwarf's granite cubes (bc apparently you can just... make cubes during a respite??).

Anyways, he isn't the brightest fellow 😔

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is

- more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week)

- more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages)

- more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

Thinking abt when my teenage dnd character (originally a pacifist) had to come to terms with the fact that heroes often do have to kill people 😭

This would be a beautiful oil painting. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

Black and white photo of a medium haired tabby cat standing on a windowsill outside. It is in the process of turning around and jumping down.

This session left us asking:

Could a hakaan fit in a dingy without sinking it????? Our tactician was not willing to help us test it out

So far #Procreate IS really nice from a chronic-illness standpoint... game changer to be able to draw in bed! I think it'll serve as a daily sketchbook for me while full renders will go on my PC that can handle large files :D have some more devil mockups 4 now

#Inktober and I are not in a toxic relationship per say, more a will-they-won't-they, situationship that sometimes texts eachother "saw this and thought of u" prompting a convo that lasts 1hr and resumes once a year. It's like that one ex that texts you back when mercury is in gatorade or whatever

Okay, yeah, my book is heavy and dark and political. But did you know its lovely and lighthearted and warm and intense and tender. Can one not have gore and have their smut too? Can one not have the perils of a realm on a characters shoulders and the perils of love on their heart?

Has one of your player character's casual attitudes ever clashed hilariously with a serious campaign moment? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme

A meme with text at the top and a comic panel below. The top text reads: "When one of your PCs underestimates how serious the campaign is going to be:". The comic panel shows Batman in the rain, looking up dramatically, with a speech bubble that says: "THIS IS WHERE I WATCHED MY PARENTS DIE, RAPHAEL." Below Batman, only the head of a Ninja Turtle, Raphael, is visible, with a speech bubble saying: "COWABUMMER!"
