Don’t complain there is too much on your plate if your goal is to eat.

Don’t complain there is too much on your plate if your goal is to eat.
This is one of the main reasons I love being a Forever DM. If I can spend hours making worlds for my friends to come play in and forget about the "real world" for awhile, and then the rest of the week they're thinking of how much fun they had instead of how awful the world is... FUCKING WORTH IT!
Ursula le Guin, on the accusation that fantasy is an escape from reality
![[“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don’t we consider it his duty to escape? The moneylenders, the know-nothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can.”]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hppum4l25hcczzffastsicpq/bafkreihuubdwcftfkvvlnepoaf6pfxqulryfp7ydrydi5fe2pflwz63wgm@jpeg)

To be a cat. Thriving. Living her best life. Unbothered by the state of the world. Just her and her ribbon toy.

Two more Elemental Scions (Water and Air) from @reaperminiatures.bsky.social that I painted recently. I’m enjoying using brighter colors in these miniatures as opposed to my usual darker palette choices.

Three of the four character miniatures I’ve put together in @heroforgeminis.bsky.social for my upcoming Tattered Tales campaign. I’m slowly getting better at PLA printing miniatures. Not as crisp as resin, but I’m pretty happy with these for now.
