For anyone that's been wondering what @runicpressgames.com has cooked up recently, I've taken a look at their system agnostic #What'sMyFoundation book - full review scheduled for January 27th at 7:00 Pacific on Tuesday!

See it first over on my YouTube channel!

Damn, that is a terrible start to the new year. Hope things improve there soon!

Biggest good news I have is we adopted a cat on Saturday... and I have a YouTube channel starting up tomorrow morning. Not much else right now, at least.

Today was my second day with the new cat we adopted, and she is settling in nicely!

Why is cute if trap, though?

I'm launching a new YouTube channel in January that focuses on tales from my tables, advice and tricks I learned along the way, and reviews of products I like!

Tale #1 "A Tangled Ball of Disasters" - goes live 6:00 Pacific on January 7! Come watch, come laugh!

Nothing like seeing fantastic art from @deanspencerart.bsky.social and Tara Quinn, as well as the incomparably beautifyl borders from @alderdoodle.bsky.social to get inspired to leap back into the creator seat once more!
A page spread in Affinity Publisher. The left side shows many page thumbnails while the center depicts the current page spread. A beautiful light gray border outlines each page, with the majority of the text blurred except for the title: Chapter 1 - Surrender and Rejoice. The first page depicts a skeletal army advancing through a dark, green mist, and is art by Dean Spencer. The second page has a depiction of a skeleton pierced by several arrows and holding a sword.

Breaking open my massive Tales of the Valiant campaign project I started oh-so-long ago for the first time in months. Packing and moving wrecked my workflow, but I plan to get back into it again now!

Cover art is fantastic stock art by @deanspencerart.bsky.social
The cover of a Tales of the Valiant project - it shows a female warrior in armor and wearing a dragon-inspired helm scowling at the viewer. Green magic blazes around her gauntleted hand as she points a sword at the viewer. The words "The Gloom of Vareth" spans the center of the image, and the logo for Dramatic Dragons rests along the top of the image.

Did a test of my Halloween getup for the year - I would say this is a success.

When a company whose products I use and recommend to others says this (especially after being acquired by Canva last year), I don't get excited.

I get worried that the things I like are not going to remain what I liked....

Unfortunately had to make the decision to say goodbye to Reina "the Pathcat" this night

May her Natural 20s roll evermore across the rainbow bridge.

"How DARE my human have books on other languages and one of them is not CAT?!?!? The AUDACITY!"

Woman-owned business? Great.

LGBTQ+ owned? Fantastic.

But you come into MY house, peddling your AI crap, you better expect a block from me. I don't give any moral ground for that.

You know what has heart? Actual humans putting in genuine effort.

The Pathcat is in good spirits and requesting attention, despite ongoing health issues.

This is what Linkedin says is their reasoning:
1) My job title - huh, sure....
2) The implied seniority of my position based on my title - if you say so
3) The country I am from - hate to break it to them, but I have not been associated with the UK for over 200 years.....

Just... wow.
Linkedin reasoning for why the previous ad was sent to me: My profile matches the intended audience of SJH Group because 1) My job title, 2) My job title's supposed seniority, and 3) my country.

Of course, I say this, and then this gem ends up in my messages.

Like... how bad must Linkedin's algorithm be to think that I, who has no connection to the UK, would be a good match for this?
A sponsored DM from Linkedin: "Invitation to Join HM The Queen's Centennial Commemoration. Hi Trevar, I'm reaching out with History of Parkiament Trust for the global celebration of 100 years of Monarchy & Democracy, marking HM The Queen's Centennial. We'd like to invite you to Westminster Abbey & schedule an interview for press and our documentary. Can we arrange a call? If yes, click on the 'Want to know more?' button below." They also included an email to reach out to them at.

Nothing more exhilirating than making a world map for your fantasy novel, and having it look fantastic, too!

Now to post it to #worldanvil, add pins/labels, make articles for all the key locations... all while continuing to write the book that it is based on!

A fantasy map for a novel's world. A large continent spans the majority of the map, with several islands and archipelagos around it. The glacial south pole fills the bottom right corner of the image. The continent includes several biomes, such as a desert, swamp, forest, and an unusual area surrounded by mountains that appears to be devoid of life. A mountain range curls down from the northern point of hte continent down to the lower third of hte space, where it splits into two prongs that wrap around either side of a heavily forested region.

And now and obligatory pic of the Pathcat - she is doing better than she has for the last few weeks, but not out of the woods yet
A tortoiseshell cat lays on a cat perch in the sun, eyes wide as if to say, "What have I done?!?!?"

Unfortunately, the Pathcat has not felt 100% lately, so I've been distracted taking care of her.

Fortunately, someone discovered one of my battlemaps I listed on DTRPG on Tuesday and I forgot about. So that's a reminder I should say things about what I've done

A battlemap with several rooms lit by torches and fires. "Water drips from unseen stalactites along the cavern’s ceiling, falling with a loud plink in the pool spanning the center of the cave. Torches gutter around the central pool, their light gleaming off stalagmites and making the shadows eerily darker. A pair of paths steadily circumvent the pool, rising to a large, glowing altar. Chants echo in the darkness from hoarse, enraptured voices, filling the chamber with eerie dread."

With the world getting darker and less joyful, sometimes a wander in nature is what you need to feel a bit better.
A view of a forested valley. A river runs through the center of the gorge, and mountains loom high on the left side. The day is mostly clear and beautiful.

Morning cuddles in the sun. Great way to start the day

They keep going.... and I admit to barely remembering running these sessions
Two pages of notes that are frantic details from DND sessions long past

It's so funny when you see players realize "Oh crap, this is serious" and start taking notes in greater detail when they come across a devil (Lord Ackarell) they need to discuss things with.
Handwritten notes from a DND session, getting more detailed toward the end.
