Some screenshots of my cottage in Warcraft. I’ll be discussing my experiences with the housing system on my next podcast episode!
A green-roofed cottage in Founder’s Point with a watchtower and chimney. Its yard is enclosed with an old fence, a large vine-covered trellis, and a Stormwind-style covered wagon. The property has many large apple trees that provide shade. The cottage’s first room is a tavern for hunters and fishers, with brown geometric rugs, fish nets, a large stone fireplace, and hunting trophies on the walls. Lanterns and night elven chandeliers light the room. The cottage features a cavernous Night Elven shrine with a small waterfall and pool. Small bushes and crawling ivy cover the walls and corners. A brazier of Elune and Boralus string lights provide lighting for the cave. A humble Darnassian bedroom with a purple and green rug featuring leaf motifs. A portrait of Alleria Windrunner hangs on the wall, flanked by empty wall shelves.

I kitbashed a thing! For now, this is just a D&D adjacent game for my playgroup and a game dev exercise for me.

I tapped the sign yesterday when one of the after school kids complained about how “I’m just ignoring physics” because I wouldn’t let him instantly kill a creature (otherwise unharmed) by wrapping a chain around its neck from 10 feet away and snapping it. (Also, WAY TOO DARK for this game)
From the 2024 Dungeon Master’s Guide: Rules aren’t physics. The rules of the game are meant to provide a fun game experience, not to describe the laws of physics in the worlds of D&D, let alone the real world. Don’t let players argue that a bucket brigade of ordinary people can accelerate a spear to light speed by all using the Ready action to pass the spear to the next person in line. The Ready action facilitates heroic action; it doesn’t define the physical limitations of what can happen in a 6-second combat round.

I’d also be remiss not to mention Stardew Valley. It’s the gold standard in farming sims, and for me, the best fishing minigame system. It’s still one of the best deals in gaming, and works just as well playing alone or with friends.
A cozy scene of the farmer and her horse in Stardew Valley next to a small garden and chicken coop. Stardew Valley is displayed above the scene.

D&D may seem a bit of a boring answer, but it has to be included - one of my jobs is DMing for an afterschool program. However, 4E is my favorite - it’s the most DM friendly edition for me, and solved a lot of problems both 3E and 5E have. For all its faults, D&D is one of my favorites.

When “people” (likely bots) join my Discord, send friend requests, and then try to get me to hire them for graphic design/illustration work (the kind of work that I actually do)
