Adam was great to work with and he made the annotations on the later maps really pop. You should definitely use my map guy for all your cartographic needs!

This was a super fun map to work on, illustrated for UNDER A PIRATE FLAG by @bhpierce.bsky.social. There are technically six versions of this, each with increasingly more annotations from the crew in this tale. Check out more maps on my portfolio! 💙📚 www.adamcbassett.com/map-design

I found a birds nest! It's lined with dog hair.

Here, have a picture of my garden in these trying times. It's my first go at gardening and I waaaay underestimated how big the potatoes would get.

I got lucky at @bullmoosestores.bsky.social today. Coming across pre-5th Edition stuff in the wild is so rare now. I grabbed Mark of Nerath because 4e was my first system and I have fond memories of Fallcrest.

Did some cleaning today and I found this.

I love Bull Moose so much. This is gonna be an awesome drive home.

Grick Attack! Gricks have a long history of attaching themselves to people's faces in my campaigns. This one is no different! Thanks @rich-burlew.giantitp.com for the minis!

This also explains why they always look fuzzy in pictures

Does anyone have any opinions on a good translation of Zhuangi? I've found my old college copy of the Tao Te Ching and i'm interested in reading the other Taoist book. All input is welcome, especially yours @thoc.creator.blue (Love the show BTW, Lord Nepo Baby has been my favorite recent episode)

I made snow lanterns!

I don't know if this abomination has corrupted my body... My only solace is that it hasn't happened yet. At least I get to die peacefully... At least I'll be safe in my grave when Kavaas returns. -Vato Archwizard of Divination D&D game turned story. Free on RR. www.royalroad.com/fiction/8244...

Just had an awesome #DnD session. My PCs have been in a magic forest, The Deep Woods, on a hunt. For the whole trek, they've been hearing the calls of a beast called the Rootshaker. On their way out a giant shapeshifting creature pinned them down, only for the Rootshaker to come out of the trees.

Got to end my #DnD session on a spooky note. My players were pushing deeper into a trackless swamp when they encountered a two-headed Cyclops building funeral Cairns for two other cyclopes. As they hurried away the two-headed cyclops called out "Beware the Red-Eyed Mimic!" Good times!

Do anyone else's cats insist on being part of #DnD prep, or are mine just weird?

Been testing a money/magic item system for #DnD 5e called Pass The Loot in my current game. Today a player randomly rolled a pair of magic halfling pants that gave a +2 to performance. The Special Performance Pants were the star of the session. I think I've got a great idea on my hands.

A few years back I ran a Pathfinder game that one of my players decided to serialize. The epilogue just got posted, if you want to see what the best campaign I ever ran looks like, check it out!

Some days I get to come home to these weirdos on the porch and it's just the best. All hail the fluffiest Cerebrus!

Finally finished The Legend of Drizzt! I wrapped it up in the Great North Woods with the closest thing I could find to Feywine. Two top moments that come to mind are the last Tiago vs. Drizzt fight and Obould's ascension. It was a wild ride from start to finish @rasalvatore.bsky.social !

About to go camping well beyond the reach of cell towers and disconnect for a few days. Wish me luck!

Opal always manages to find a comfy spot for #DnD

Working on the hub town for my #DnD campaign. Greenhaven is coming along well. Now to fill it specific locations and NPC's.

Been working on using terrain in my #DnD encounters. I found these neat 1 inch counting blocks and used them to make a ruined garden in the mystical Deep Woods. It went pretty well, the druid used the yellow blocks to establish how high he was in bird form.

I wonder where my roommate is...

Put together a bunch of my new Munchkin cards and played them for the first time. If you like Munchkin, get yourself the Double Dungeons expansion. It adds so much to the game!

My book audit has brought me into some philosophical territory. I found a #Lovecraft collection. Do I keep a book I appreciate but don't enjoy? Lovecraft is too bleak for me, but I appreciate his skill and impact. Do I set it loose for someone else to enjoy or keep it around for reference?

Getting set up for the first session of a new #dnd campaign. It's been a few weeks since we had everyone over and I think the pets are more excited than I am.

Book Audit continues! I know what I'm getting rid of, so now I have to determine what goes on the shelf and what goes into storage. To help with that, I've sorted them into helpful categories like Forgotten Realms, College Books, Fullmetal Alchemist, Religion, General History, Military History, etc

I was cleaning off my desk and I found these two badge clips, I get one every year at Portcon. I think these two would get along, don't you.? #Zelda #BG3 #Baldursgate

I stumbled upon a flock of Canadian Geese on my kayak today. Luckily, they were cool about it

So I just found the greatest thing ever. During Prohibition, when alcohol was banned in the US, there were two factions in support and opposition. Pro-prohibition people were called the Drys and anti-prohibition people were called the Wets, leading to the greatest campaign slogan of all time...

Interesting things I've gotten to say at work. Co-worker: There are some teenagers hanging out around the sinkhole in the parking lot. Me: Are they IN the sinkhole? No? Okay, that's fine. If they get in it, find me, and I'll deal with it.

The book audit continues, now pulling out books from storage. Some progress, the two totes are for donation/Bull Moose, while everything on the desk and floor remains in the keep pile. I also found a box of nerf guns that are going to Goodwill.

The first pass on my book audit, focusing on my bookshelf first. Keep on the left, get rid of on the right. I may need to be more aggressive.

Well, finally sat down and got to writing on my next project. Got the first chapter written and...realized it's all wrong and I need to do it over. Progress! #amwriting #authorsky

I'm about to embark on a task that will test my willpower to the extreme. It's time to audit all books to see what can stay and what must go. Wish me luck.

One neat thing I've learned from Baldur's Gate 3 is that a fantasy world doesn't have to be huge to be cool. All the JRPG'S I played growing up were giant, but BG3 is compact and just as engaging.

My new book is out! Follow Yarin the 44th Oracle as she tries to manage a diplomatic incident, prevent a mono outbreak among the lead cast in the school play, stop the lighting crew from quitting, and keep the prima donna actress playing an Oracle happy. linktr.ee/treeandtower...

Well, my attempt to not spend a lot of money at portcon this year is off to a bad start. In my defense, it was the first time I've seen munchkin cards out in the wild in ages.

Spent a night camping on an island, and this was my reading book for most of it. 5 books to go in the Legend of Drizzt! #amreading #camping

Meet my research assistant for the Sengoku Jidai panel I'm working on, Opal

Had the first fire of the summer! It's the first one Nyx has seen outside. She was briefly interested until she realized it didn't want to play.

My parents' dog will follow them to the food bowl and scarf it down faster than they can pour it in. Freya is the opposite of that.

Been working on a history panel about the Sengoku Jidai for this years #Portcon. Here are a few tentative section titles. "It Was Absentee Landlords All Along" "Oda Nobunaga With The Steel Chair!" "Toyotomi Hideyoshi Has 500,000 Unemployed Samurai With Nothing To Do"

Playing Baldur's Gate 3 again with some friends, I'm playing as Gale because we barely touched on his story last time through. Will be looking for some inspiration for more interesting combat as we go.

Thanks to Bull Moose and Thriftbooks, I'm in the home stretch of @rasalvatore.bsky.social 's Legend of Drizzt. Started reading two summers ago when a friend loaned me his old copy of Homeland. The same summer I played Baldur's Gate 3 and plunged headfirst into the Forgotten Realms. #DnD #amreading

Watched "A Knight's Tale" and that movie defines 'committed to the bit'. It also just OOZES 90's. The whole cast looked like they were having a blast on set. I'd reccomned it to anyone who wants some brain -turny-offy fun. There are a few good medieval history Easter eggs scattered throughout, too!

Nyx is always ready to play, just not with me apparently.
