Settling down for some world-building with my ridiculous number of notebooks and ancient laptop, plus a massive cuppa.

My puppy is also sat on my shoulder. Yes, literally. She doesn't understand that she weighs 18.6kg now...

Homebrew Havoc: Tales from Tordronnen is back tonight, so set yourself a reminder for 7:15pm UK time to make sure you get yourself some snacks, a drink, and a comfy chair!

How much more could possibly go wrong in the aftermath of not one murder, but two? Plus the Grey Sails incident...

No @tonishaw.bsky.social tonight, but how will the rest of us fare as we attempt to finish our delivery of the weirdly named, "ass parcel"? Will the Grey Sails try to intercept it again, or will other parties choose to intervene?

Homebrew Havoc returns, tonight, on the AmpersandD20 Twitch channel!

It's Valentines Day, apparently. So here I am, celebrating by showing off one of my only couples pieces, featuring two of my favourite lads 🥰

I can't tell you their names, as it's spoilers, but this is one of my favourite images, so any excuse to share it!!!

The smaller man has slightly fluffier white hair with a dark streak at the fringe, backward-sloping pointed ears and vine-like markings on his cheekbone.

I haven't shared this yet, but I recently did the character art for #HomebrewHavoc ##TalesfromTordronnen and set up the new website! Check it out here: homebrewhavocap.wixsite.com/homebrew-havoc

I'm currently working on a couple of personal projects involving World Anvil, and some more artwork!

@heroforgeminis.bsky.social is a dangerous tool...! I've spent hours making Mercy minis over the last couple of days!

Here's a screenshot of Mercy in a less roguey outfit, her more casual everyday wear! She loves green.

A Hero Forge screenshot of my PC, Mercy, a Crystal Tiefling from the Tales from Tordronnen campaign. The mini shows her with less makeup than normal, though she still has heavy eyeliner. She is wearing a black v-neck blouse and black waist cincher, with a dark green necktie and sash about her waist.

650 words to go! 9350 words across 5 articles, most of which have been cobbled together from crappy notes! I still have numerous other articles I wanted to write, but as I have to split my attention between writing and puppy... I'll just have to make do!

It feels weird to be advertising here, but I'd very much like to share that I still have some of my first batch of pendants left. I have 3 butterfly themed, and 4 love themed left, and it would be wonderful to see them go to good homes!

Dang... Spooktober has really depleted my article availability on World Anvil! There may well be a delay in my getting any new articles out there, as I can't afford a subscription right now. But, it was good fun, so it's not really a massive problem.
