Cover image for Corrosive Souls. A warrior made of liquid, silver metal stands menacingly with one arm in the shape of a blade. The title Corrosive Souls is over the figure. The foreground field is a cyber-inspired green grid. The image evokes a 1990s era arcade cabinet.

Class Drilldown: Bloodweaver
Unlock magical supremacy through the power of blood. Then master a Tradition of Blood… Bloodbinder to heal torn flesh. Crimson Witch to curse your foes. Scarlet Reaper to wield blood like a blade. Illustration by Jeffrey Chen What These are blood mages with a much cooler name that feeds into the larger concept around how they approach their sanguine arcane arts.

Mockups of the Complete Class Compendium book (cover illustration features several wanted posters with illustrations in sepia). Text overlaying the image says: Complete Class Compendium | On Backerkit January 2026 | Project Follow -> Gemini Class PDF -> " and that points to the similar cover of a promotional PDF for the Gemini Class.

Disabled people are not expendable.

The elderly are not expendable.

Children are not expendable.

Worth should never be tied to economic productivity.

If we protected the most vulnerable in society, everyone would be better off.

I am happy to announce that we (Alli and I) are working on spinning A5Evening back up folks! With a slightly different format (a more permanent guest host situation: my fellow datamancer, Jenn from Long Dangerous Tales) to help with workload so that the issues my disability cause are more mitigated.

Superimposed across the image is the following text (in all capital letters): Bloodweaver unlock magic’s truths through secrets in blood Diabolist summon evil forces to enact your will Doctor master biology to thrive and save lives Exemplar turn luck and courage into glory Feywalker wield chaos and nature as deftly as blades Freak transform your curse into incredible power Gemini fight with agility and walk two paths Mad Scientist learn and master knowledge that is forbidden Mechanic armor makes you a force to be reckoned with Occultist embrace destiny by mastering the occult Scrapper salvage the past to remake the future Speedster rely on your swiftness to triumph Behind those are 10 character illustrations that are 50% transparent. Going clockwise from the upper left corner:. Foppish blond human mage floating blood above his hands Red-haired gnome ranger man wearing lots of gold decopunk armor Purple many-tentacled muscular humanoid holding a dozen items Redheaded dwarven man wearing power armor leaping with a two-handed maul Debonair tiefling fellow in courtly attire wearing occult accoutrements A humanoid athlete jumping towards the bottom right corner with an energized ball in their outstretched back hand Pipe-hatted gentleman in a suit with clocks on his prosthetic leg, his cane, his glasses lenses, and held in his hand Human warrior woman with golden jewelry jumping upwards with a bow in one hand, the other reaching for an arrow from her back Woman dressed for a ball holding an evil staff in one hand and conjuring a bound ghost with the other In the very center of the image is a samurai wielding a katana. She is wearing banded armor, has a long and voluminous black ponytail, and has a lightning-sparking replacement for one eye. Below and behind her are identical duplicates that are more opaque, each with a different expression. They are posed with the sword held with both hands, inverted and the blade pointing forwards.

For any new followers, Hatchlings Games is strictly against the water guzzling, job devouring, billonnaire enabling monstrosity that is Gen-AI.

If you’re someone that advocates for its use, or worse, encourages its growth in the creative industries, we shouldn’t be mutuals.

Less a support type link than it is a thing I made that people can buy to support me.

I created 3(!) different ooze themed archetypes for the 3rd party boodblade class for #a5e #dnd? One is even based on my own #autoimmunedisease and treatment! #disabilityrepresentation!

@chronicnotebook - That chronically ill person you know has probably never answered a "how are you" honestly. They probably told you "it is what it is", laughed and trivialised their pain because their real answer was long, traumatising and and intense and they didn't want to make you uncomfortable.
