Finally stopped procrastinating on this #battlemap (10x22) for Sublime Visions, a occultist store in an adventure i'm writing. Despite her third eye, the owner seems to peddle snake oil - but others claim she knows more than she lets on. She's also has three furkids - a trio of sphinxes of wonder.

Just a bunch of scrolls for battlemap clutter

🎊🎊🎊 Fire Thieves reached Electrum on dmsguild finally🎊🎊🎊

this vacuum app is vaguely threatening

anyone noticed how often youtube videos promise a timeline of something and never actually contain a graphic of the timeline? yeah, timeline has been used metaphorically for ages, i guess, just seems lazy to have an obvious go-to visual medium and not use it.

Promise of Blossoms Teaser #10! A fair prince is trapped in a reverie, and he needs a valiant princess to wake him up. How else would story about a fairy tale wedding in the Moonshaes end?

Teaser #11 for the Promise of Blossoms! The wedding day is almost here. Excitement in the air, but Lady Siofra of the Sarifal Fey has her doubts about the sincerity of this union.

My adventure for the BMG Promise of Blossoms #adventurersleague storyline just got teased! They've been putting out comic pages for each adventure. That's some production value 👀

just a talking cryptid skull for a handout i'm making

nothing like isometric floorplans for those pointcrawls where you want the aesthetic of a ridiculous number of rooms over many floors but only a few are really important. it lets you overlap the maps and it's easy to convert from a simple grid map with a few macroable transforms.

currently fighting the urge to make this dungeon map more realistic at the expense of needing balloon the wordcount to describe like, bathrooms and fire escape stairs...

A deep dive on this page and not just because the wizard's tower is underwater. 🥁 It's two of my all-time favorite wizards from the Moonshaes - Flamsterd and Deirdre. This scene exists because the players of Rising Shadows made it possible. Please enjoy Teaser #9: "Test Theory"

I spent my sick day today making a font. This is Level Spirit, and it's free for personal or commercial use: alfredvalley.itch.io/level-spirit...

Faerun firearm lore be like designers: NO GUNS players: that makes no sense in the lore! designers: I'll give you a lore reason... one day Gond said NO GUNS the end.

An addition to the lore we made with the BMG Moonshaes that I love is the Deepshaes, the Earthmother-infused Underdark. Moonwells in the depths? Caverns overrun with plant life? Opportunities for adventure below the isles? Please enjoy Promise of Blossoms teaser comic #7 A Once and Future Home

yusheng but instead of salad ingredients everyone tosses dice

Just spent an unnecessary amount of time drawing the mandatory bastion map for my #adventurersleague character and i'll be damned if i don't show it off after that much work.

A wedding gift is a serious affair for royalty in the Moonshaes. It can even be a call to adventure! Check out our latest comic teaser for PO-BMG-MOONEP-POB-01 "Something Ancient" by @katwynne.bsky.social from @baldmangames.bsky.social. Comic by @sephiramy.bsky.social and @writersavvy.bsky.social.

Just finished DMing Corruption in Kryptgarden at SGCC while the booth nextdoor was blasting the Spongebob Squarepants theme song non stop. That's gotta count for some sort of extra credit.
