Christopher will be one of the worst people I have ever played, I'm pretty certain. Anyway, if anyone wants to guess what his clan is, there are subtle hints in his outfit and the trailer, and even the wikipedia article the real Christopher Hodgson has.

post the best picture you have ever taken of your pet (if you feel like it):

A tabby cat with white chest and paws sitting in a wall unit lined with light blue cloth, as if framed by it.

Merry, possibly just picking a sunny spot, possibly deliberately posing for the camera.

I was going to write today.

This session also marks the first edition of the Frostglass Herald, which will from now on offer articles about the deeds of the Revenants as well as other factions in Doskvol. Preview for next session: the Ironborn gang is also making moves.

The first page of the fictional Frostglass Herald newspaper, featuring the headlines:

Violent clashes between city watch and Skovlan refugees

and

Redfog drowner claims another

Also features an advertisement for leather childrens reins.

Lamia may be PLAYING a good person, but, for your consideration:

One contented Pippin.

Merry, you say? Then I shall provide Merry.

All remaining goblins were unfortunate enemies in a The One Ring campaign. (RIP.) There was no individual art for them, but @klurarts.bsky.social drew a fantastic battle scene as background art for the game (that I’ll also use in future One Ring games) with several orcs/goblins in it.

A fellowship of adventurers fighting a group of orcs/goblins attacking their camp at dusk.

WizardStyles@wizardstyles· Dec 27

I also played a goblin, a hobgoblin and a bugbear, completing the goblinoid trifecta: Slingshot, goblin pugilist who can jump real high (no art) Veldrex, hobgoblin mobster, a mobgoblin (art by @ceruleanchar.bsky.social) Bregan Malison, bugbear wizard, Duke of Slugmire (art by @nullavoid.bsky.social)

Veldrex, goblin mobster holding a crossbow like a Tommy gun.

Bregan Malison, the Duke of Slugmire, walking down stone stairs while holding out playing cards and dice and showing a toothy grin. His displacer beast kitten familiar Spades is walking just ahead of him.

WizardStyles@wizardstyles· Dec 27

And here are the player characters. @gremlynnart.bsky.social did a great job especially with the dynamic poses, lighting and colors. In order, these are: Blitz, hobgoblin evoker Negolk, bugbear path of the giant barbarian Jinx, goblin hexblade/sorceress Mud, tasloi moon druid

From left to right:
Blitz, blue-skinned hobgoblin wizard. She is summoning lightning from a glowing spellbook.
Negolk, a muscular bugbear wielding a large sword on a chain. Elemental magic is visibly coursing through her.
Jinx, a goblin with an icy glaive and a moth mask. She is floating in mid air and showing a mocking smile.
Mud, a tasloi druid with a crown made out of dead wood and a cloak resembling moth wings. She is jumping through the air acrobatically.

Swamp Goblin Mysteries was written in one afternoon when I was working on my upcoming #CarvedFromBrindlewood game Junior Detectives while I, as a farewell to running D&D, ran a level 20 campaign of goblins killing their main god, Maglubiyet. Here's Maglubiyet, by @gremlynnart.bsky.social

Maglubiyet, a stern, hobgoblin-like figure with metallic skin and spikes growing from his body, wielding a massive glowing axe.

Buck and Bugbite later returned for a fundraising one shot on @jemaginative.bsky.social's Goodberry Café channel, where they were joined by Limoncello and Plinko, drawn by the players @goggleboy.bsky.social and @mintiliciouss.bsky.social themselves.

Limoncello, fancy goblin holding a fancy drink, played by Mika.

Plinko, a small green goblin with batlike ears, played by Milo.

WizardStyles@wizardstyles· Dec 27

And the second, Goblin Pride on @starcrawlrpg.bsky.social, featuring @sirenmademodules.bsky.social as Buck, @drbubblesphd.bsky.social as Bugbite, @nightofthefitz.bsky.social as Griffin and @thewiggeddm.bsky.social as Skuzz.

In front of a green swampy forested background, from left to right:
Buck, the biggest and strongest goblin and aspiring professional ribbon twirler, played by Ariel.
Bugbite, the prettiest goblin princess with a rainbow dress and heterochromatic eyes, played by Shiv.
Griffin, creepy and slightly feral goblin with sunken eyes and showing too many teeth, played by Insha.
Skuzz, Nikki's goblin OC with a prosthetic arm and pet rat.

WizardStyles@wizardstyles· Dec 27

Rossy also did the art for two streamed games of Swamp Goblin Mysteries I ran, the first one being a murder mystery on @stellaluna.tv’s channel, who played Rosie, also featuring @birdicinspiration.bsky.social as Baby Blue, @asouzagm.bsky.social as Koyah and @bardicpro.bsky.social as Moonie.

Rosie, a pink goblin with pigtails (also pink), huge eyes and a big stick, played by Stellaluna.

Baby Blue, a tiny blue goblin with long braided hair, a wide mushroom hat, and a guitar made out of collected wood and plants. Next to her is her mouse Despereaux. Played by Ran.

Koyah, the longest goblin, with big square glasses and a bow tie. Played by Souza.

Moonie, a rotund goblin with pineapple hair and hoarded and foraged items pinned to their outfit. Played by BardicPro.

WizardStyles@wizardstyles· Dec 27

2025 was very much a year of goblins for me in #ttrpg terms. So here’s a thread of goblin art! Starting with @rossydoesdrawings.bsky.social’s amazing art for Swamp Goblin Mysteries, a one page RPG I put out in April.

A goblin sleuth with a rat on their hat, sneaking through a swamp.

Hide and Seek sounds so cool. Furthermore:

WizardStyles@wizardstyles· Nov 27

No, it's a wizard's orb, or a Palantir perhaps. So sayeth the wise Pippin.

Merry Stares At Things 2022 - Now

Five pictures of Merry, a tabby cat staring at the camera or slightly off camera with big green eyes wide open. First as a kitten of about four months, and the remaining four show him gradually getting older. The last picture shows him at the present time, close to four years.

WizardStyles@wizardstyles· Oct 31

Náriel, a champion of the Elves of Mirkwood. Played by @jienbirb.bsky.social of @storyweave.bsky.social. Fearsome with a bow and on a quest for vengeance, but is that all there is? (Also, I can claim no credit for the bow and sword hilt lining up with the headshot so well, that just happened.)

WizardStyles@wizardstyles· Oct 31

Played by @aundawyn.bsky.social of @roled5.bsky.social: Eären, the Elven scholar, who will soon be delving deep into the secrets of the dark and enchanted forest. And we will find out what she finds there.

WizardStyles@wizardstyles· Oct 31

Pearl Sackville-Baggins, played by @thetipsytiger.bsky.social .Escaping the ever so slightly boring Shire with lots of ideas of grand adventure in her head courtesy of her uncle Bilbo. And a few lessons to learn on the road.

WizardStyles@wizardstyles· Oct 31

Played by @shadowsilvia.bsky.social of @roled5.bsky.social : Gísla, the Dwarven warden, guarding a caravan of Dwarves on their way to the prosperous Kingdom under the Mountain. And, she has brought a junior adventurer along - a hobbit, related to the famed burglar Bilbo Baggins, even.

WizardStyles@wizardstyles· Oct 27

Merry's energy levels as the days get shorter. Genuinely considering whether to buy a light therapy lamp for him.
