What's this? A Patreon update? Who us?

It's been long overdue... but if you've ever been wanting to get involved, now is the time.

Head on over to patreon.com/blackwaterdnd for all the details. And thank you so much for your support. It means the world.

I AM ON THE FLOOR.

Huge shout out to @malizias.bsky.social for this STUNNING piece commissioned by @ohheyitsgina.bsky.social bringing us right back into our FEELS with Rake (played by @janneswessels.bsky.social) and Ever (played by Gina).

I will never have enough of these two and this story. 😭😭😭

Gina 🌱✨ @ohheyitsgina.bsky.social · 2d

“We’ll fly together sometime.”

I am sobbing, I am unwell, @malizias.bsky.social has ruined me with this absolutely stunning art of Rake and Ever and I am in pieces on the floor.

I love them so much. I will never not think of them.

SunshineInFlight forEver.

Hand drawn illustration of Ever and Rake flying against a golden clouded sky, Rake’s wings are extended in flight and his hand is holding Ever’s chin with this thumb at her mouth, and they are looking at each other lovingly.

Tomorrow is the big day for Jester & Fjord!

Are you all ready to celebrate the wedding in perfect Mighty Nein style? I’m sure nothing will go wrong at all 😂

A reinterpretation of Leighton’s “Call to Arms”, dedicated to the bride & groom💙✨
#criticalrole #criticalrolefanart @criticalrole.bsky.social

An illustration re-interpreting the painting “Call to Arms” by Leighton. Jester and Fjord are leaving an elegant building after getting married, followed by Caleb, Essek, Beau, Yasha, Caduceus and Veth, as Kingsley stops them on the steps, seemingly telling them about something important and pointing to the side.
He’s asking them to join on a new adventure or maybe fight an incoming danger.
All of the Mighty Nein are dressed in very fancy clothing, Jester has a beautiful white gown with pink embroidery. Every’s face is either shocked or excited.

In the background, we see various buildings, one showing the “Lavish Chateau” sign.
Many NPC, guest characters and easter eggs are hidden in the image.

I dream of running a Cyberpunk AP and having @chamonkee.bsky.social do the art 😭

Will Kirkby @chamonkee.bsky.social · 19d

I still love this character pic of a nomad PC from a cyberpunk game i ran back in the day.

A tattooed nomad in biker vest with their families patches ripped off.

Here is my latest miniature set for @blackwaterdnd.bsky.social. The party journeyed to a stronghold in The Divide that was under siege by ghouls. Check it out in action here: youtu.be/YM3b7ZPGFPc?... #BlackwaterDnD #miniatures #miniaturepainting #terrain #dungeonsanddragons #wargaming #DnD5e #TTRPG

A miniature set showing a keep protected by a wooden barricade that has been breached. A dozen ghouls have breached the gates and are wandering around aimlessly as a boat attached to a hot air balloon approaches from the left. 1/4

BlackwaterDnD players Adam Lucas and Jess Lupini at the gaming table as the mini set of a keep under siege by ghouls sits in front of them. Both are smiling and enjoying playing a game with good friends.

Eat up, Sinners.

BlackwaterDnD - Good Friends, Better Stories -> PAX U @blackwaterdnd.bsky.social · Aug 22

Draw the shades, cut the wick, the night is past the hour long. For when I die, I pray it's quick, and someone sits to sing my song.

Sinners, it's time for our final course. Welcome to Eulogy, the last episode in Sin Eater: Absolution. Thank you for joining us through the full meal of this series.
