This afternoon I'm talking about How to Make and Use Dungeons in Daggerheart. I've been building a Dungeon environment, so I'll share that draft and my thoughts about implementing this staple of fantasy rpgs.

1pm EST at twitch.tv/turbotango and then on YT tomorrow morning.

Against a background with a green landscape and a mounted figure with a staff and a city with floating islands above it, text and the Daggerheart CGL bottle logo (top right). Yellow glowing capital text at top center: "How to make and use dungeons" Blue glowing capital text at bottom center: "In Daggerheart"

This is your reminder. You don't need to be Matt Mercer. You don't need to be Brennan or Aabria or anyone else. Be you. Run games as you. Stop comparing yourself to others and have fun in these special moments.

Finally, we got back to the adventures of Elytra & Light. They arrived in the Hydra System and fought a crab walker on the moon of Hera. Their tank took a beating but they won!

We saw Iron Lung on Sunday and, considering that it was entirely independently produced and was Markiplier’s first movie, I was impressed, but did find it a little hard to follow—that may be me having a hard time with dialogue in general, though, not the movie.

D&D Saturday night was awesome fun. The party cased the museum, gathered intel, mingled with the nobility, and the paladin seduced a guard—who then got eaten by a mimic.

Had a really good weekend away from the socials! Got a server up and running on Pippinux, my 2012 Mac Mini with Linux Mint, for our home intranet and started with a self-hosted 5e.tools for when I run D&D 5e.

Digital illustration of a red eared slider with an unnatural, mostly red color palette, floating on a similarly colored red rectangle over an off-white background. The turtle’s body points down from the top right to the bottom left, its head looking slightly upwards and to the left. Its right leg is titled upward, while its more forward, left leg, stretches down far below it. In the bottom left corner is a watermark reading: “LEAVES AND INKS”

Complex erosional terrain: undisclosed badlands locality, NW New Mexico

A number of small hoodoos sit atop a yellowish mudstone cliff capped by a light gray-colored harder rock. Beyond the shoulder of this hill at left rises a huge eroded peak showing successive bands of different-colored strata, from yellow to brick to ash-gray and red. The sky is faultless blue.

Fun fact: Wisteria is a legume! 🫛 (And also a gnome wizard with a catastrophically poor command of magic 🫣)
Ginny is dressed as Wisteria the gnome wizard, in a blue and white outfit with an oversized dark blue witch hat. She holds a staff topped with a blue crystal shape. She is standing on a path overhung with purple Wisteria flowers.

I guess I’ve gotta restrict replies by default nowadays to discourage the dingbats and neckbeards from commenting and harshing the vibe. If you can comment, congrats on not being, to the best of my knowledge, a dingbat and/or neckbeard.
