Fun TTRPG aside: how do you organize your dice collection? Much as it horrifies some, as you can see, I don't. They all reside together, free range & among their own kind, in the current iteration of the jar of dice we refer to as Jarro (the IV). Those in active use are in my dice bag. Game On! 🧙🏼‍♂️

A rectangular plastic container, approximately 7" tall, and 5" wide, sits on a white plastic table. The jar is over halfway filled with a variety of polyhedral dice in various colors, and barely visible written upon its surface and permanent marker is the legend, "Jarro IV". Visible behind the jar are a portion of a keyboard, a miniature of the green devil from the tomb of horrors, and a computer monitor with Jim Aparo Batman artwork visible on it.

Michael Palin as the Constitutional Peasant from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Text above and below image reads: Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords as a system of government is sounding better and better.

I submitted an Adversary to Fear Fest on Heart of Daggers & my creepy little Eyebiter received an Honorable Mention! Here it is for your use! Below find the link to the full event page. Congrats to the winners, other HMs & everyone who submitted to the event! ⬇️ heartofdaggers.com/homebrew/adv...

A Daggerheart stat block for the Eyebiter adversary which I designed for the event.

#TheSixDomains is an arcanepunk setting my tables have built collaboratively for 10+ years, & Daggerheart is the perfect fit for it! I'm writing the final draft of the text & custom mechanics for the setting, such as the Canopy Strider, a tree-dwelling horse! HoD link below & Game On!🧙‍♂️ #WIPWednesday

A Daggerheart stat block for the Canopy Strider, an arboreal equine variant of my devising.

Skyline cleanse. My feline companion Simon doesn't like to be far from me (but doesn't much like being on me) for longer than necessary. He's recently taken to napping on the knapsack I keep nearby. 😻

A silky gray feline partially curled up and lying on a knapsack, the rest of him and the knapsack itself sitting on a linoleum kitchen floor. A cardboard box is visible near his head, and behind him the edges of a blue blanket can be seen at the corner of the frame.

As #TheSixDomains continues to develop, I of course continue to write stat blocks to fill gaps where I see them. To this end, here's my Daggerheart take on a fantasy standard, the wyvern! heartofdaggers.com/homebrew/adv...

A Daggerheart style stat block for the wyvern.

While work on #TheSixDomains continues, I also have games to keep prepping, which sometimes require unique stat blocks. To this end, I present a traversal environment, the Volcanic Slope. I expect my Sunday players to begin toiling up it tomorrow evening! Game On! heartofdaggers.com/homebrew/env...

An Daggerheart-style environment stat block covering the difficult ascent up a Volcanic Slope. I tried to post the full text here, but it exceeded the character limit.

Over in #TheSixDomains, work continues. Sometimes, it's a straight uphill progression & other times, less so. In order to spread Pegsai, Hippogryphs & Gryphons across the Tiers evenly, I bumped the gryphons up a Tier. Here's my revised version. I plan to playtest them in the Sunday game very soon!

A Daggerheart style stat block for the Gryphon.

A happy Mother's Day to all to whom it is applicable, but especially to @wingchick49.bsky.social (who I will still of course call later as well)! I hope that you all have a great day, and I love you, Mom! 💜

My work generating Daggerheart stat blocks and other mechanical elements for #TheSixDomains continues. Here's another example of my half dozen funky fantasy horses, the desert adapted and very speedy Sunstar Courser!

Daggerheart stats for the first of my five funky equines, the Cinderhoof Charger! #TheSxDomains will include the descriptions and mechanics of five different equine variants, in total, including the fungal-based Mycelial Steed and the arboreal Canopy Strider!

I'm looking forward to Daggerheart tonight! We left out heroes embroiled in a struggle with some gnolls (a creature type heretofore unknown in #TheSixDomains) as they trek through jungle and foothills toward the Dire Reach, a massive, smoking volcano, and the next stage of their quest!

Timeline cleanse: My son Simon sleeping so soundly that he's snoring. 😻

Hehe. I'll talk your ear off if you give me the chance... 😅

Artwork of a Caucasian woman with long dark hair wearing a purple bodice and a tattoo on her cheeky looking slightly at the viewer. Text above the frame reads https://www.facebook.com/KismetsGamerGathering. Text below the image reads: Yes, I talk about my characters like they're their own people. For me, they are. No, I'm not sorry if it bothers you. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Once again, we March Fourth into our one semi-organized #TTRPG holiday, International GMs Day! Share some joy, and give some love to the folks that pour their time, energy, and sweat into building worlds and treasured memories!

Dice is spilling out of a dice bag onto a table. Text reads: Happy GM's Day!! Thank you to all you who build the worlds and breathe life into the NPCs that we play with.

Talking to folks in the walled garden can often feel like this:

I've only ever seen Fast and Furious. Do movies other than Fast and Furious have characters and plot??? What about Vin Diesel?? Please help.

FWIW, this is what squirrels look like in #TheSix... 🐿️

Happiest of birthdays! 🎂

Conan the barbarian sits cross-legged in black and white to the left of the frame. He wears a colorful conical birthday hat, and holds a balloon (both drawn onto the picture). Text to the right of the frame reads: What is best in birthdays? To crush your cake, to see your presents driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the wrapping paper - Conan The Birthday Boy

Gaming history and wolves (cordial blueberries not pictured). A pleasant holiday was had. 🎅

Hoping for the happiest of holidays to those who celebrate, and a truly splendid Thursday to anyone who does not!

Am I, in fact, 53-year-old adult? Yup. Do I or have I ever had any children? Nope. Do I nonetheless leave milk and cookies out for Santa every Christmas Eve? You betcha. Technically a homemade brownie this year, but the point stands. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to those who celebrate.

A photograph of a light blue plate on a kitchen counter. On the plate is a brownie broken into two pieces, and a Lord of the Rings Gandalf glass mostly full of milk. Visible behind the glass are a toaster and electric kettle.
