To the right, a dark Gothic castle silhouetted against a red moon, wreathed in mist, bats flying out of one tower. To the left, text: "Draw Steel Against Strahd." Strahd's name is the only word in a bright blood red.

the social media wretch absolutely got me with this one. my favorite game WAS first published in 1985 how did you KNOW

80's Dork:
You were doing this long before it was cool. You were doing it when it was actively uncool. You probably got beaten up for it once or twice. But you’re never happier than when you’ve got a calculator in your pocket and a massive black-and-white reference manual full of complex tables to represent the effects of wind resistance and gravity on your bullets (by calibre) in your backpack.

how it's going (and it's not done btw)

Emi (they/them)@queeringsmite· Jan 22

in-ear, but only the flat ones (white), not the long ones (pink). can comfortably wear the flat ones for hours! I think I have small ears though. YEMV (your ears may vary)

pink earbuds, the kind with the long head that sticks into your ear

the people love HORSE VOLTRON, the people hate HORSE VOLTRON. nobody is neutral on HORSE VOLTRON. mission accomplished

Emi (they/them)@queeringsmite· Nov 22

the reviews are coming in. people have strong opinions about HORSE VOLTRON

three screenshots collaged together: "It's glorious it's awful it's beautiful and you're now wanted in over 32 countries", "this is a nightmare (compliment??)", "This is true eldritch horror in a one pager"

everyone LOOK at this INCREDIBLE art of my very first TTRPG character! Silgwyn, the paladin who started it all. known for seductive handshakes, putting weird animals back where they came from, and befriending every NPC in town. art by @izzypetersart.bsky.social and I'm absolutely in LOVE with it 😭

Silgwyn, an East Asian halfling in plate armor with very cool metal wings, smiles at someone off-screen. their eyes twinkle with friendly warmth. warm earth tones throughout
