Always feels weird when family refers to anything I've said in a newsletter or video IRL. I wish they'd just ignore that stuff. They're not the audience.

Of course this is the one the YT algorithm has decided people should see: scriptless rambling, barely edited, distracted by cat. Pure quality 👻

The shrine of Selune's Glen has provided healing and protection for many generations. But in recent months the shrine’s magic has waned, and illness sweeps through nearby villages - can you and your party find the cause and return the spring to working order again?

Did you know that the bees that need saving are NOT honeybees? Honeybees are the dairy cows of bees. People brought them over from Europe to make us honey. The problem with honeybees, esp in resource-limited ecosystems (like hey! cities!) is that they compete with our native bees for food.

The once-prosperous Rushbank Farms are struggling, and farmers fear that the eels who once kept their wells full have abandoned them. A call has been placed for adventurers to locate them - and discover what dangerous creature has called them away. Are you up to the task?

Behold Greyhawk, one of my illustrations for the 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide! Perhaps the piece I'm proudest of from the past year. I was able to take this one about 70% of the way to finish in acrylics, a major milestone for me.

The Storm Hag is fully aquatic, living and hunting across the bottom of large, deep lakes. She lures ships into sharp rocks with her beguiling song, after which she picks off its sailors at her own pace. And if she makes eye contact with you, terrible things will happen...

I keep seeing authors getting duped by AI users pretending to be artists (and then sadly realising it when everyone calls their book AI slop). These grifters are everywhere and I don't have a solution, but I have a few pointers:

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum. Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

Limnades are carnivorous nymphs who haunt only in the freshest of waters. These canny shapeshifters take whatever shape they desire in order to hunt their favoured prey: humans. Their enchanting songs lure their prey into their watery lairs, as drowned meat is the sweetest...
