The bent and twisted trunk of a great iron tree formed a makeshift bridge over the eastern river. Rough black bark mottled with reds and greens, branches buried like speartips into the opposite shore. The Rust had ebbed away, inhospitable bedlam resolving into a vast and unknown continent. #DVparty

Elyain's cold demeanor made them the favorite scion of the royal house, with a heart of silver that lets them wear any face they desire. They were content with their work as a surgeon, until they fell for a wayward traveler. Now they are following that love into new and strange lands. #DVparty

At a young age, Vel underwent the procedure to be a sorcerer, replacing her heart with quicksilver. Though she longed to use it to travel the world, for love of her spouse she used it for war instead. Now, with a new world revealed, she has a chance to shed the past and reclaim her dreams. #DVparty

My pitch image for Arcane Heart, a fantasy novel of exploration and unlikely alliances. If you're struggling to find images for yours, I sourced mine through rawpixel's public domain collection. Nowhere is perfect, but I've had good luck avoiding the slop there. #DVparty

Have any of you guys read this Lord of the Rings book? It's pretty good.

Came for Dana Terrace, stayed for the bonkers and beautiful world and the great dynamics of the main trio. Very good pilot.

Replanting

These are all stellar but if I'm forced to choose, top middle and then middle right. The right one is very classic and classy, and the top one just pops.

listening to echo and the bunnymen smoking loud with the emerald herald. we just ordered pizza from the only pizza place in majula

My first "complaint" about the movie was that I wanted to spend more time with Lex's tech cult. One of the first times I've been interested in a supervillain's minions. Especially the contrast between them and the masked super soldiers on the beach, and especially their comfort with that contrast.

Reading this as a teen probably bent the course of my life more than any other book. Top of the list for books I wish I could force everyone to read.

INFINITE REVOLUTION is my TTRPG love letter to spaceflight, magical girls, and the indomitable burn of the human spirit. It's full of my love sweat blood etc and pre-orders for it close THIS FRIDAY! If u wanna get in on physical copies before that: infinite-revolution.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

I was making a list of my favorite artists the other day (To show a friend what kind of art I liked) and Sam Guay was first or second to mind. I discovered them when I bought a notebook with their painting Vasilisa on the cover, which is so pretty I've been too precious to use it. Highly recommend.

My best rpg idea in years: My players found an urn of sand, that when eaten, shows you a vision of a major event that happened wherever you're standing. They really think they've gotten one over on me when they solve a puzzle with it. But to me, it's just exposition juice.

Engineer. Doctor. Priestess. Diplomat. Officer. All of Rinnie's professions are crashing together with this new job: prevent a deranged goddess from coming back. How is it that she's the one who's most qualified to head up the team? And yet, someone has to do it. #WSPit #WSPitW #A #F #LGBT #ND #DIS

🏞 #WSPit #WSPitW #F Wielding lyric and song to defy the powerful, Mosset learns secrets she might wish she hadn't. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but with the clock ticking down for either her or her homeland, a little more could save her family... or break her.

In the Mirrorwood, trees have trunks of iron and fruit of gold, and people are born with as much metal as flesh. When the chaos surrounding it is pierced to reveal a continent beyond, a remorseful sorcerer strikes out in a bid for peace, before her queen can plunder it. #WSPitQ #A #F #LGBT

Is there a video or tabletop game based on your field of expertise? Education, profession, or even just deep interest. If so, two questions: is it accurate, and do you like it?

Sometimes when watching Severance I get this horrible dread. Like someone, someday, is going to create the Torment Nexus from the acclaimed television thriller Don't Create the Torment Nexus.

My only problem with Severance so far is that I want 30-60 more seconds devoted to why Devon is with Ricken at all. We're told that the four of them were good friends, but we're only shown her and Mark being exasperated with him. I guess he's... nice to her? But like one moment of fun would be fun.

A huge segment of my family is Alaskan. They're very conservative, but even they've been calling it Denali since long before the 2015 decision. Not that it would matter if they didn't, I just want it to be clear the "controversy" only exists if you're 1000 miles away from the mountain.

My partner has such low computer mana that it's almost a superpower. Technology simply breaks in her presence. I've watched her troubleshoot and fail, but when I recreate the exact same steps it works. Baffling.

The lasting cultural impact of the show LOST may be in keeping mystery box showrunners on point for series like SEVERANCE and FROM -- both of which seem very conscious of not falling into the same traps that Lost fell into.

I have created my playlist magnum opus. 168 songs. Each shares an artist with the one before it. It's designed to shift genres as quickly as possible. Tony Bennet and Papa Roach back to back. The Beatles to Massive Attack by way of Steve Martin and Howard Shore. open.spotify.com/playlist/2LX...

I'm finally caught up on Severance. My best friend called the ending of episode 4, but now he's not caught up, so I can't tell him how smart he is. Please target him with the psychic beams that make people watch television so I can discuss my theories.

A cut of Severance from Innie Mark's perspective would be such a wild ride, especially if you hadn't seen the show before. Finding out the twists as he did... If anyone wants to do an experiment on a friend, you should, and you gotta tell me about it.

I'm doing Severance the same as I did with Silo, rewatching with my partner who hadn't seen them. On paper they sound similar, "Sci fi thrillers about people trapped in a retrofuturistic location, figuring out why. With bonus allegory for modern power structures!" But they feel very different. 1/2

Every time RPG Maker goes up for free, a little voice in my head tells me to become extremely obsessed with it. I can only assume this is the devil talking. I don't even like JRPGs that much??? I'm so busy???

I'm still gutted by the Dark Crystal's cancelation. It changed the way I watch TV completely, including not watching anything on netflix that's not 100% complete.
