Happy spooky month! #halloween #dragon

#shiptember double feature- a couple of lighter-than-air warships from my #ttrpg world I'm working on (it's a fantasy Star Trek with inhabited craters standing in for planets and Aeroships being used to explore them).

Sketch for my ttrpg campaign world, the Shattered Realms.

In Drievech, every 15 days fresh troops are sent to the front to relieve those manning the trenches. It is customary for returning troops to be greeted with a parade and celebration in their honor, put on by their families, sponsors and platoons soon to be rotated in. The dead are mourned, tales…

#Septopolis 24 Like most of the realms, Drievech didn’t know it HAD neighbors until the last decade or so. Since it’s acceptance into the Parliament of Realms, it’s neighbors have provided much needed supplies and reinforcements in their war against the undead, likely preventing the city’s fall…

I really should have tagged this for #wipwednesday

My #ttrpg campaign world pitch: an airless, deadly world pocked with countless craters, where air and warmth are trapped and life flourishes. For millennia, countless species and cultures lived in isolation in their craters, each thinking they were alone. Recently, bold explorers... #worldbuilding

#Shiptember An aeroship from Scattered Realms, the #ttrpg campaign world I'm chipping away at.

In fairness, this rapture prediction was not significantly worse than any of the previous rapture predictions

Putting this out in the universe… Wes Anderson’s Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime League

Still chipping away at a wiki for my campaign world, the Scattered Realms. Stop in and have a look and tell me here what you think. Lots of rabbit holes don't lead anywhere yet, but the framework is coming together. #dnd #ttrpg #worldbuilding slimwiki.com/the-scattere...

I’m going to miss Star Wars fandom. Instead, I’m going to get together every week with my #TTRPG friends and we’ll make up our own stories, where we’ll punch fascists instead of surrendering to them.

#Septopolis 14 For the surviving Vetelim holed up in the city of Drievech, food has for generations been simply a means for survival and little more. With their once-lush farmlands now battlefields, food is summoned by the clergy each morning, a nearly flavorless but nourishing bread eaten...

Wierd, my super- MAGA workplace suddenly got real quiet about Charlie Kirk’s assassination, did I miss some news or something?

Work-in-progress of my latest Halloween decoration, a new animated dragon. Mouth opens and closes, eyes go back and forth, and I’m adding a helper fan in the throat for a smoke machine.

For those of you who have followed my humble efforts on the #Mythaugust and #Septopolis writing prompts- I spent the morning gathering all my postings into a Slimwiki, which I can't recommend enough- it's a great way to organize and filter your thoughts! slimwiki.com/the-scattere...

I’m chronologically somewhere between “I need one of those Days-of-the-Week pill cases” and “I need a much larger Days-of-the-Week pill case”

I’m enjoying a modest boost of new followers, either because I’ve been posting on the #Septopolis fantasy city-building challenge , or perhaps because I mentioned “anal probes” in a different thread. Either way, welcome!

so I weigh 170 lbs on a good day and i just tried to keep pace on whiskies with a friend who is a bona fide viking and did I mention I love you?

Here's a clip of the test run of the Beholder I built for my outdoor Halloween decorations. My motorized Mind Flayer is behind him #halloween #animatronics #dnd

#MythAugust In my writing about my cosmology I've avoided speaking in concrete terms about the gods of my world. Everything is "the people of so-and-so believe" and "legend says", rather than stating anything as objective truth. It stays true to my idea, but wiggle-words take up a lot of characters!

#MythAugust Day 9 What Finnea represents changes over the course of the year. In the spring she embodies curiosity, playful exuberance, vitality and joy. This aspect of Finnea is favored by the windwagoneers who sail their vessels through the sea of tall grass, who pray to her for favorable winds.

I’ve been doing posting a lot of ttrpg writing content, but I don’t want to overlook the fact that talentless techbros broke the internet, our president is a felonious, low-class buffoon and the worst child sex trafficker arrested in my lifetime has been moved to a medium security Fuddruckers.

#MythAugust 5: perhaps someday the faiths of the scattered realms will settle into a hierarchy, but in the current Age of Enlightenment and strife there is only chaos. Ancient faiths are reinventing themselves, old faiths are re-emerging, and the fundamental nature of faith is in tatters (more)

#MythAugust #WritingCommunity #Fantasy #WritingPrompts day 4: factions between the Gods in the Scattered Realms. The various pantheons of the scattered realms didn’t even acknowledge the possibility of one another existing until recently, so there are no long-standing factions among them (more)

My milkshake brings all the timeshare investors to the currency exchange, which I’m not sure what to do with

Fellow appliance shoppers- If you’re in the refrigerator aisle, don’t bother trying to pretend you’re just browsing. The salesperson knows damn well you have an inert box of rapidly spoiling dairy products at home.

@chaostorgo.bsky.social Uriah Heep, MST3K and Manos Hands of Fate all referenced at the top of your profile? That’s an automatic follow!

Second day with Swimmers Itch, my level of discomfort is somewhere between “Holy fuck this itches” and “I pray for Death’s Comforting Embrace”

God: here’s a fun idea- what if, when you go swimming in a lake on a hot day, occasionally you get attacked by invisible bugs that make your entire body itch for days until you pray for death’s sweet release?

If anyone is curious what Swimmer’s Itch looks like, voila! Also, Happy Birthday to me.

His majesty approves of our nautical journey

I was willing to tolerate ceiling spider but it’s gone now and I think ceiling spider has turned into bald spot spider

So #ttrpg folks, just saw one of my creations on #DMsGuild is on sale for 60 cents. Use my poor grasp of capitalism to your advantage, with over 20 unique creatures, each featuring original illustrations and stat blocks that are sketchy at best. www.dmsguild.com/product/2871...

Reskeeting this because since I wrote it I found my saw, said “oh good there’s my saw”, forgot where I saw the saw and now I need the saw.

Dangerously over-caffeinated, fighting a severe nicotine craving and heading to Costco on a Saturday. There’s a decent chance I might end up on the evening news

400 followers?! Thank you, I promise not to disappoint several of you.

Working at a family-run construction company, I hear things shouted back and forth every day that, in a professionally run company, would have HR lawyers bursting through the walls like the Kool-Aid man.

Read the phrase “Stephen Miller Elon Musk throuple “ yesterday, and I think human intimacy is now ruined

Explained to my 17 year old how my old game animations were made to be viewed on analog tvs and don’t look the same on digital displays. Now he’s collecting old tvs and has a genesis arcade in the garage. So proud

I don’t believe in ghosts, which is very frustrating when they occasionally turn up in my house

Second week on the nicotine patch, feeling strong, like this time is going to work. Also, I want to bite through a telephone pole.

Here’s my plan: 1) ask a bunch of great #ttrpg and #dnd people to follow me 2) let a growing audience inspire me to finish the cool projects I’m working on 3) finish said projects 4) use Bluesky to tell you all about it. I know, genius, right?

Drew a quick #deiselpunk dude

Exciting news- I’m only 1,000 followers away from having 1,341 followers! Genuinely, like everyone else in this shitty timeline, I’m grasping for reasons to keep making stuff. Having a gradually growing audience helps get me past the self doubt, emotional exhaustion and ambient despair.

It’s weird how if my teenager says “Alexa, send me a tattoo kit” she’s all in, but when I say “Alexa, delete all Billy Joel music from the internet “ she’s suddenly helpless

I think a much cooler way to handle dragons in #dnd would be to have a dragon’s personality and terrain determine it’s color, and not visa-versa. Like if a brass dragon moves to the arctic, eventually he turns silver. If something happens that turns him bitter, he turns white. Missed opportunity

I tried for the third time last night to watch The Wheel of Time series, since I keep hearing how incredible the new season is. I’m sorry. It’s so bad.

I’m shocked how far Left, Right & Center on #prx , has sunk in the Trump era. The last episode had the “center” and the right chortling about how liberals wanted to save the planet but now hate Tesla, as if the only way to cut emissions is to drive a megalomaniacal Nazi’s hotel ice machine.

Number of places I keep my saw: 1 Number of saws in the place I keep my saw: 0 Number of times I’ve checked the place I keep my saw: 30 and counting
