Real art. One way someone putting words into an AI model that probably stole from loads of artists would get paid.

Considering the amount of neurodiversity and/or special educational needs in our hobby, who's making the best adjustments and adaptations in the publishing and Con space? I'm struggling to think of any...!

I'm curious: let's say you're GMing at a Con or Meet Up, whatever. What player behaviour would you say was 'unacceptable'?

My DMs are open.

For the Emperor!

Prepping missions for Band of Blades today. They need Operation code names. What have you got?

Full write up of my latest D&D scenario prep. You don't *need* to be a Patreon, but why wouldn't you? www.patreon.com/posts/chitin...

Well. Tonight's game was excellent. The players brought their A game, and I had a map, a manual and some situations to proffer. All you need is a loosely themed grab bag of 6 fantastic locations, 6 monsters, 6 setting vehicles (NPCs/clues/items) and just follow the fiction.

Have been asked to run classic D&D tonight. No prob! Then, the overthinking. No brain, you don't need to buy a new book, sketch out a campaign, construct a screen, or make a mood board! Graph paper and goblins. Let's go.

#DnD hack: want "yes but," and "no, but," in your d20? Take your DC, go one above and one below it, to make a result window. Eg. DC 16? It's a success with consequence on a 15-17. Move your numbers to suit your desired tone.

Had a crackling day.

Up now on Unconventional GMs - a #TTRPG #ActualPlay One-Shot Mystery of Free League's #Vaesen, featuring the Monsters of Mythic Ukraine sourcebook - and Tasha from Idea Roll, Ukraine's premier Actual Play channel youtu.be/u9_pidAgvu4?...

Separated at birth? I think we should be told.

In a few hours I'll be loading up the fun wagon and full steam ahead to Owlbear & Wizard's Staff for two nights of beer and one day of tabletop bounty hunting. Cannot wait!

Anyone got any advice for a sore neck? Too much nodding when listening to Justin talk.

Went into a Wargammer shop today that I used to manage 30 years ago. Slightly grumpy I wasn't recognised. Equally, delighted.

Expand your horizons.

One week or so away from the release of one more issue of the Dragon Warriors zine, Casket of Fays. Cover by Claws-on. Contents by a fine body of illustrators and writers. Starting with how to convert Fighting Fantasy creatures to Dragon Warriors by Andrew Wright. #dragonwarriors #casketoffays

This week's painting. Tau Pathfinders for Kill Team.

One of my current projects is getting a Band of Blades campaign up and running. It's a big old beast, but full of interest. I love the setting, and 16 pages is more than enough to get the juices flowing.

What if?

Interested in Candela Obscura, the new Darrington Press / Critical Role game? We showcased the quickstart here for your delectation, 2hrs of FITD-adjacent occult fun youtu.be/cMIqqB5FI50?...

Game 3 in the Kill Kabin and the Phobos Strike team smash the Heirotek spies in their own fort. The Cryptek is left adrift in a dimensional pocket. Marines take the day against all comers.

Game 2 in the Kill Kabin sees the Corsairs running the gauntlet of the Phobos Strike Team.

Today in the Kill Kabin, the Heirotek Circle threw away their victory to the Corsairs having put a homing beacon on the wrong supply drop!

Geek friends, I picked this up on a whim. What is it? Are the kids going to laugh at me?

The temptation to do bunny ears behind Sandy Peterson was almost too much to bear.

I'm back on Band of Blades again. Reading @mytholder.bsky.social novels has made me look at Chosen and Broken in a new way.
