A quick re-intro for our amazing new followers: we’re a small game company, focused on story-rich RPG games and adventures, and lighthearted (if occasionally cutthroat) tabletop games. We talk about game design, post wildlife and astronomy photos, and occasionally share science and social stories.

Prepping for "Curse of Strahd", I found this: www.dmsguild.com/en/product/4...
I am floored.
My flabbers are thoroughly gasted. This is _gorgeous_! If you run/might run Strahd, take a look. Fear no campaign inconsistencies--unreliable narration covers all hiccups. Also, boost this!

Spouse, this morning, reeling in our dog: " 'Wait' means you can't go forward."
*dog continues to head for bunny droppings*
*spouse reels and reels* "Look, pretend I'm the Old Man and you're the Sea. Which one of us is going to win this?"

#DogSky #dogs #Chinook
A male Chinook dog in a rare moment of stillness. Note the loose loop of the line, indicating the presence of 'restraint', a phenomenon known only to the adult Chinook. This particular example is a tawny-furred boy with darker, red-tinted ruff and a black half-mask muzzle. His eyes are outlined in black and marked with darker eyebrows (no orange eyebrows here). His ears, tan shading to dark, are floppy and pointed forward, listening for anything exciting. His mouth is slightly open, revealing the tip of a dangerously long and dexterous pink tongue. His thickly furred tail has an upward curve at its tip.

#SilentSunday #photograph #bird #wildlife #silhouette
A sharp-beaked bird soars through a flat, clouded sky in this late autumn photograph. The bird is a clear, black silhouette swooping from right to left in the early morning sky, like a shadow puppet of a bird against a flat grey screen. The wings are set in a curve for the swoop. The wing-feather tips are sharp and clear. At the back, the bird's body curves slightly inward, then the tail begins with two straight lines angled smoothly outward, giving the tail a trapezoidal look. The right and left edges of the tail are rounded over, curving toward the middle of the tail. Between the two symmetric curves, a tiny point accents the end of the tail feathers. The mood is the calm of a frozen instant of time.

Ex-angel: “We’re going to depose the mayor! Want to be Prophet for a day?”
Paladin: “I must have missed something.”
Ex-angel: “Pixie has a plan.”
Paladin: “And I’m all caught up. Yes.”

I have no words vivid enough to thank the myriad amazing volunteers who run and support Big Bad Con. This decision, while painful to hear, is reasonable. We look forward to hearing about the future of this outstanding endeavor.

Big Bad Con announcement.
An Update from Big Bad Con Based on the current political climate, it is irresponsible to announce a physical convention in 2026. We assure you: Big Bad Con still exists. Things are happening behind the scenes. Internal conversations are ongoing and we are working hard on the future of our convention-what Big Bad Con will look like for the years to come, when we can return to hosting events, and what those will look like. We miss you too and from all of us at Big Bad Con, we hope you have a safe and peaceful holiday season. Our discord server is still available while our staff and volunteers rest for the remainder of 2025.

#SilentSunday #crow #wildlife #trees #autumn
A crow flies above bare branches against a cold blue sky in this late autumn photo. The soft-edged, ink-black crow looks more like the shadow of a crow than the crow itself as it flies away from the viewer. Every knob and bump on every twig stands out sharply. Even the rough texture of the bark and the thin stems of vanished leaves are clearly seen, enhancing the sense of unreality of the crow in the center of the photo. The mood is quietly ominous.

One problem with the indie game scene is that it is overflowing with amazing games and I miss a bunch. Thank goodness people keep talking about them!

#SilentSunday #baldeagle #wildlife #birds
A bald eagle appears upside-down in this late autumn photo. An instant ago, it was perched on a long-dead tree limb, looking disdainful, and suddenly, this. It appears to be laying back against absolutely nothing, belly toward the sky, tail feathers pointing to the right. One vast dark-brown wing extends downward toward the earth. The other wing is angled toward the camera. One yellow claw seems to be reaching for a thin, bare branch. The eagle looks skyward, its white head ending in a ruffle of feathers against the dark brown back. One eye is just visible to the left of its sharp yellow beak. In the background, a flutter of orange-brown leaves enlivens the pale grey sky.

So, I made one of Monday’s grave robber NPCs one of the catfolk. One short fight later, a PCs is standing over the tied-up would-be catfolk robber, polishing a straight razor and casually mentioning that undercoats never grow back right.
That robber never spilled the tea so fast.

#SilentSunday #hawk #wildlife
Sunlight gleams through the outstretched wings of a hawk in flight in this autumn afternoon photograph. The hawk is soaring rightward across the image and is photographed from below. Sunlight adds a white edge to the hawk's red tail and shines through the pale wing feathers. The tips of the wing feathers are dark brown. The hawk's underside shades again to dark brown at the shoulders, and dark striping can be seen on the pale feathers between tip and shoulder. The hawk's sharp yellow beak shines almost too brightly against a blue sky faintly powdered with cloud. A shadow cast by the right wing falls across the hawk's body, cutting off sharply at the intersection between wing and neck. One bright eye can just be seen shining amid the brown feathers of the head.

My pillow vanished in June. It is US standard size, dense, and hard to miss. Fine, these things happen. You need a baku ASAP, the ritual requires a stolen pillow, we’ve all been there. But please, next time, leave a note so I know I’m not imagining that once, I had a pillow.

#SilentSunday #Trees #Autumn #Fall #Oak
single oak leaf was captured in mid-descent in this fall photograph. It shows a sunny autumn afternoon. The sturdy, though thin, trunk of an oak tree appears along the left-hand side of the image. A few brown, dry oak leaves cling to twigs, rustling against the trunk. Away from the trunk, against a clear blue sky, a single oak leaf gracefully falls, laid back, curls upward, relaxed as a gentle dream.
