Me: I have seen wild turkeys every year for the majority of my life.

Also me: OH FUCK, TURKEYS AT 9 O'CLOCK

wonderful art as always.

Meln is a character I wish I could redo. On paper, he was supposed to be among the most powerful Telvanni driven to senile coot-ness by the forces he sought to control. In game, man he loves that ghost sight 😁

Genetic proof that I could have a rocking 'stache if I had a fraction of my dad's swagger

Hestia's Scorch is one of my fav statuses (especially on a Cast).

I love my birds but pretty stoked at the bee action on my goldenrods.

I tried shouting "be happier" at myself in the bathroom mirror for 15 minutes straight this morning. Hope it works!

How do you sustain an hour-long design/story debate where you simultaneously:
1) don't think you're wrong
2) don't feel like a huge asshole for not conceding

Because I'll tell ya gang, I had 2 of these today and I am exhausted

Still wish the segment where Takemura pulls V from the garbage pile was "Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying"

Finally ate a (previously frozen) durian. My family hates me and my wife says the house will never return to its original smell.

Reading your low-key trolls are how I relax.

Finally escaped library hold purgatory and got to finish this guy. A vampire story set in 1978 NYC, and I think it's a total gem.

Honestly am wondering if I will finish silksong. This is a disappointing state to be in.

After a few years GMing pretty much anything BUT Dungeons and Dragons, I ran a oneshot (2024 rules). And it was actually a blast.

Nowwww I have to resist the urge to buy a bunch of new books...

The team-up I need

Tom Murphy @bentaporst.bsky.social · Aug 27

I have two work paradigms:
"I have nothing to do."
"I have more deliverables due this week than can fit in five lifetimes."

Panel 1: I used to "goon" but then they changed what "goon" was

Panel 2: Now What I'm doing isn't "gooning" and what's "gooning" seems weird and scary to me

Panel 3: *Abe pointing* It'll happen to you
