If you're near Rochester, MN this weekend and you like D&D stuff, you should drop into Castle Con (at the Chateau theater and below the Kahler hotel) and say hi (I'm in the Kahler space). #dnd #ttrpg

One of the things I do at gaming conventions is get random words from people to use as inspiration for D&D creations. This spell was inspired by cosmic, durable, and occult. www.patreon.com/posts/148530... #dnd #ttrpg #convention #homebrew

It's #SelfPromoSaturday for #ttrpg folks, so here I am. I make a ton of D&D 5e game content, published a giant book of the stuff (which you definitely want), and I'm working on another book. You can find me online and at some midwest game conventions. amethyst-dragon.com #dnd #dungeonsanddragons

Just applied for an author table at Gamehole Con. Hopefully I don't get waitlisted again. People really do enjoy being able to page through my 592-page book before buying it (that's just one great thing about a physical D&D book), and I enjoy talking with them as they do. #dnd #ttrpg #gamehole

Finished the illustration I started yesterday while at Midwinter Gaming Convention. This will be for a magical tome that's already written for my next big D&D 5e book. #dnd #ttrpg #gaming #writing #illustration #pencilart #lick

Part of convention vending is passing time between talking with people. I'm currently working on an illustration for Book 2. Yes, I still have 15 tongues to draw in. It's gross, but mildly amusing. #drawing #ttrpg #book #pencil

If you're at Midwinter Gaming Convention, come say hi. You can find me at my booth in the exhibitor hall.

I'll be at Midwinter Gaming Convention, which starts on Thursday. If you're there and you see a guy with blue hair wearing a shirt with this account's profile pic...that's me. Feel free to say hi. 😀 tabletop.events/conventions/... #ttrpg #dnd #tabletop #gaming #midwinter 1/2

2 1/2 years ago, I compiled direct, no-context quotes from my D&D players into a 50-page book. Today, I updated it with 60+ new pages from the rest of the campaign. You can get it from DriveThruRPG or Patreon. My tier 2+ patrons get it for free. www.patreon.com/posts/words-... #dnd #ttrpg 1/2

For the last (I think) 6 years, I've participated in a D&D homebrew Secret Santa event on Discord. This year, I made gifts for 4 people (17 total creations). www.patreon.com/posts/147109... #dnd #ttrpg #santa #xmas #homebrew

Decided that I wanted to have some bookmarks to take with me to Midwinter Gaming Convention next month (where I'll be selling my big D&D book in the exhibit hall, come say hi!). Each will have something taken directly from the book. #dnd #ttrpg #convention #writing

Just finished up a 2nd Secret Santa gift of D&D 5e homebrew. It's a thing every year on the Discord of Many Things server. Give 3 one-word prompts as inspiration, get 3 words from someone else, make a homebrew, get a homebrew.

Just spent the last 4 hours in the kitchen. - 1 hour making and eating dinner (cheeseburgers) - 3 hours baking xmas cookies (so we can frost them tomorrow night) Tomorrow my wife makes a different type of cookie and I'll be making mint chocolate fudge.

"It is, after all, just a box." I sometimes post direct quotes from my D&D players or their characters, without context. This one is from last week (session 1 of our new campaign). #dnd #ttrpg #nocontext

Another D&D creation inspired by someone who stopped by my booth/table at a gaming convention. The words for this one were grimoire, glyph, and false flag. www.patreon.com/posts/145718... #dnd #ttrpg #homebrew #convention #inspiration

There's still time before Xmas to get the perfect holiday gift for that D&D player / DM / group you know. Give them the gift of Everything. www.amethyst-dragon.com/book #dnd #dnd5e #ttrpg #dungeonsanddragons #xmas #gift #christmas

I take sets of 3 random words from people who visit my booth at conventions and use them as inspiration for new D&D game content. Tonight's NPC is one such creation. www.patreon.com/posts/145319... #dnd #ttrpg #homebrew #bee #zombie

"I think we're going to be three criminals and a cat." After more than 5 years of weekly sessions, my D&D group started its 2nd campaign. Session 0 was this week (during which we rolled stats, came up with reasons for them to be together, and started learning to use Foundry VTT). #dnd #ttrpg 1/2

Tomorrow I'm headed to Eau Claire, WI for GEEKcon, a 1-day tabletop gaming convention. If you're looking for a great holiday gift for that D&D person you know, you can grab a copy of my book there (or via my website). www.uwecgeekcon.com amethyst-dragon.com/book #dnd #ttrpg #tabletop #gaming
