Gate Night is back TONIGHT at 7pm PT / 10pm ET!

In the big fights of BG3 it can be easy to lose track of what is important, like naming your minions/summons.

What are some of your minion's names?

Nightmares on the Frontier is back in the saddle NOW (2pm PT / 5pm ET)!

For the Ten Cent Legion, there is no job too dirty, but there are jobs that are too unnerving. Too bad for them that in the city of Blackstone, there's no rest for the wicked...

Happy New Year #TTRPG space!

We broke the hype-o-meter for "AU presents: BHM 2026 Harlem Renaissance Forever" a Black History Month fundraiser & celebration because so many have signed up but there's always room for more!

Sign up for GMs ends 7/9 9 pm EST
Sign up for players ends 7/16 9 pm EST
The image features a digital artwork with a central emblematic design surrounded by vibrant artistic elements. The central part displays a stylized letter "A" with a pattern of vertical stripes in brown, teal, orange, and white, reminiscent of art deco motifs. Above the "A," there are the words "HARLEM RENAISSANCE" in bold black letters, and below, "FOREVER." Flanking the "A" are two scroll-like banners; the left displays "BHM" and the right shows "2026," both in white text. The background is an abstract portrayal of lively, expressive figures in rich purples, yellows, and browns, suggesting a festive, celebratory scene with dancing figures and musical themes.

A good a time as any to remind y’all that there is a Sword & Tea blend!

It’s literally the best tea you’ll ever drink!

*this message is biased and totally hyperbolic*

but what if it actually is the best tea you’ve ever had? Get some and find out!

A top down picture of a tea blend in a tea cup that is sitting on a saucer. The tablecloth that serves as a background is blue and to the left are blue ttrpg dice. The tea blend is black/brown with flecks of yellow lemon peel.

I ordered more of my custom blend from @fridaytea.com (among other goodies) and seeing it with an actual label made me feel feelings 🥹 I love this tea so much.
A photo of a large Friday Afternoon Tea zip top bag. There is a clear window in the bag showing the tea inside. At the bottom is a printed label that reads "Storm's Mercy" and is followed by the ingredient list - black currant, cacao nib, decaf black tea, cardamom, black peppercorn, cranberry, spicy ginger, natural black currant flavoring, silver lustre dust.
