Some lore from my Strahd game... One of the party members has taken the role of party father. They heal people by biting them (confirmed to be from their saliva). The party has now decided they can get heals by asking "Spit on me, daddy"

There was a time where I was studying computer science in Uni for game development. Then I learnt more about the industry and decided I wanted nothing to do with it (low wages, significant crunch, poor job security). Now I'm getting the itch to get back into coding, it's just finding the time.

There are people that make good DnD content... it's just not WotC

I'm baking thimblets for Kally and she is STRUGGLING to wait for them to fully cook.

Okay, but... this is not a "small number of users," this is the PLATFORM ITSELF creating and distributing these images.

Y'all they're putting my fanart in the back of Marian Heretic #5 I'm gonna cry

I'm throwing out a question for the folks that use FoundryVTT: what mods do you use to enhance Theatre of the Mind moments? I already use splash artwork and music/ambience, but I'm really wanting to do ToM a lot more and I love including a little extra flare.

Paizo Live happenin' right now! Next Gencon release, Impossible Magic! It's not only having the Necromancer and Runesmith classes, but also the remastered versions of Magussy and Summoner!

Be my Strahd party: barely killed a lone vampire. Me, their GM: "There's no way they'll try to fight this heavily armoured vampire and her squad of knights." Party: Rushes in IMMEDIATELY.

Dessa Lore Day 8: So y'know how when mages come across a book of forbidden secrets and they decide to fill it with all manner of arcane wards and locks? That just makes the secrets inside more alluring. It was practically begging Dessa to perform a summoning ritual to call forth an eldritch being.

I made the classic GM mistake: 'Alright guys, you're pretty badly hurt but the ratlings have fled for now. It sounds like they might be regrouping to the west, but the south passage sounds clear' Group immediately heads west into the gathering rat horde.

Dessa Lore Day 7: Her first kiss wasn't a romantic one. It was, in fact, purely tactical and allowed her to win a fight against a stronger opponent. It'd be another couple of years until she understood just how important that kiss was. Side note: I'm considering fleshing this out into a full story

Was Korra the best show? Maybe not, but they walked so the likes of Catra and Adora could run 💜

Oh god I'm still not 100% sure what I'm going to play in BG3 later today. I was considering a Storm Sorcerer, but what if I want to do a bard instead? Or a barbarian?? Or I might be feeling an arcane martial mix???

Hecate

Dessa Lore Day 6: I'm not exactly sure whether my current canon for Dessa has her living in a classic high fantasy world with a traditional magical academy or if this is modern fantasy with Sailor Moon-esque magical high schoolers and arcane universities.

Ope! I am Streaming today! Don't you think I've forgotten or gotten too sleepy! We'll be doing our Final Fantasy VI stream so tune in to see how I get lost once again in this world that Kefka broke! See you all in a couple of hours!

One of my Strahd parties just recovered the last of the important Vampire killer items, murdered one of Strahdia's wives, and killed an army of undead with an avalanche. They were feeling pretty good... until the big lady herself decided to show up. The group isn't ready for that much girlboss.

Dessa Lore Day 5: At one point Dessa worked part-time in a library. It was at this job that she first got her hands on a tome of occult knowledge. A forbidden tome. The kind usually reserved for VERY experienced magical users. This didn't stop her from sneaking it home.

It's entirely unjustfiable that we have to live a corporate dystopia without even getting any of the advanced body mods and chrome. Thats the fucking deal Google... if youre going to take over we at least get arms with rocket launchers in them.

Dessa Lore Day 4: It wasn't until her thirties that Dessa left behind the classrooms and decided to take up a little bit of adventuring. Though this was less about fighting monsters and saving towns and more about discovering ancient ruins and forgotten magic. 🎨: rkdvanguard

One of the pitfalls I ran into when I was first starting to DM (many many years ago) was prepping my adventures the same way that they are laid out in pre-written adventures. That meant planning out entire story arcs at a time, plotting exactly where players would go, blocks of text to read out.. 🧵

Dessa Lore Day 3: It turns out there's a time limit on how long you can be magical high schooler and once you've aged out they don't let you keep the fantastical powers That left three options after graduation: normal dayjob (ick), teach magic, or become a villainess. Dessa SHOULD'VE picked villain

No stream tonight! Some rough nights sleeping and early mornings have wiped me out a bit, so I'm going to rest up to continue Tomb Raider on Sunday!

Just finished Stranger Things and my god they needed a sense of URGENCY when the world is ending. Walk and talk, dont stop every five minutes for a conversation

Dessa Lore Day 2: In terms of raw, magical power.. Dessa was at her strongest while a part of the Moon Maidens. Bringing down kaiju sized monsters was part of the monthly routine and the only villain to ever best her did so with deceitful trickery (this may have also been her first crush).

Stream is over, dinosaurs have been killed, tombs have been raided! And speaking of raids, thank you @happyforrest.bsky.social for tonight's raid!

I may have spent some time brainstorming Dessa lore and it turns out my headcanon is that she was an utterly useless lesbian in her early twenties 🤷‍♀️ I've also been informed by my partner that it fits the source material

Random Dessa Lore: As a teen she joined up with her schools transforming magical girl team, the Moon Maidens. There was no gender requirement for joining, but the team is exclusively made up of girls. 🤔

Slight change of plans tomorrow. With Kally having no voice I'll instead be jumping straight into Tomb Raider on stream! Hopefully next week we can start BG3.

My inspiration for getting this art was my desire to run a gothic romance/horror campaign with sultry lesbian vampires. I want my players to be thirsting after the big bad and feeling ashamed for it!

10 TTRPGs I want to play/run in 2026. -Daggerheart -Fabula Ultima -Lancer -VtM 5e -Call of Cthulhu -Girl Frame -Girl by Moonlight -Thirsty Sword Lesbians -Dungeon Bitches -Alien Evolved Edition

Current project is adapting Curse of Strahd to run in Daggerheart. Thinking of how I can turn Strahd's control of the land into a campaign mechanic. Maybe another mechanic tracking how hopeful the people of Barovia are, with benefits for the players as hope grows.

Taking the Xmas week off with Kally (our first real week off since I got here) and it's proving difficult to turn off the work brain. I've gotten so used to there always being the next bit of prep to do.

My girlfriend is currently running the Shades of Blood AP and I'm not allowed to join because my character idea was a garlic leshy 😭

THERE WAS 4 CRIT MISSES IN A ROW. CHK CHK AND THE ENEMY GUNNER DECIDED TO JUST CALL A TRUCE AND GO THEIR OWN WAY AFTER THAT

Since I want to get back into streaming once the new year comes around and things are less hectic, I might try marathoning the Tomb Raider series. Get through them all, the good and bad, ready for the remake next year!

Our PDF for How To GM Romance is out! We did it @kiennas.bsky.social @naladraws.com @sailorsctaustin.bsky.social @erfjordan.bsky.social @metalweavegames.com So proud of what we've done. 🥰 cover art by @defenestratin.bsky.social Check it out here: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

Season 3 of Gargoyles really did Fox dirty. She went from reoccurring antagonist who could tangle with the gargoyles to being helpless to stop an old man from taking her baby right out of her arms 🤨

Fuck you GoG for listing Shadow of Mordor as a 'Good Old Game'. It's from 2014! That's not old! Stop making me feel old!

Well.. I had been planning on returning to streaming this month but life might just be saying otherwise. Now, I can at least say it's for positive reasons. Work is picking up for the holidays which is exactly what I need! Still want to stream, might just be a bit sporadic until the new year.
