the PF2 Draconic Codex came out so I'm writing dumb dragon lore* for my dumb homebrew setting
* 25% lore, 70% gags, 5% introducing my setting's god of dragons in a serious tone and then describing Bahamut from Final Fantasy

I'm also pretty pleased with the map, which I put together in Dungeon Alchemist in about an hour. originally this was a much simpler thing but then I decided that instead I'd spiritually recreate the church from Wake Up Dead Man

Ran the arc-finale session of Pathfinder tonight. Started this game in August and the first dungeon was a freehand-drawn map, white marker on A2 paper with Beginner Box standees for characters. three months and some DIY later I have slightly upped my game

there's also a thing where you're going through big open corridors with a short visual range and the game occasionally plays just a random weird sound. the picture doesn't really capture it but maybe if you fullscreen it and imagine that something just went "aaoooo!". like, a weird "aaoooo" sound.

Subway/Underpass now. The main thing of this bit is "isn't it weird when a corridor is a bit longer than you'd expect". And it's very good because it *is* weird when it's that

i mean it isn't news to anyone but I can't get over how good this game still looks. This isn't even the PC version (which is great but kept crashing on me), just up-rezzed PS2 with a 60FPS/widescreen hack

my players are slowly discovering that my tendency to over-invest in making and tweaking models and outfits for my own RPG characters does not go away when I'm the GM and it's their characters

welp, spending most of the week printing and drybrushing minis as a surprise for my players really paid off, and the session ended up being one of the most complex, dynamic and fun combats that I've run

printing and texture-painting some custom minis for my Pathfinder group as a surprise for our arc-finale session on Wednesday. Drybrushing is bloody magic.

security report: most of my prints came out fine but one snapped off because i'm a div and positioned it the exact perfect way to fail and snap off. also my sans plush is fine and nobody has nicked my N64

today's mission, then: figure out a workflow and backend setup for a live tabletop display that will a) be easy to manage at the table and b) provide maximum scope for me to fuck with my players in creative ways

it has been fun to finally set up and run a full-scale, full-length PF2e campaign though. I've run some shorter things before but this really feels like Doin' The Thing. It's a fair bit more work but I'm slowly getting my head arou-

found a new use for my samsung freestyle projector which has been gathering dust for a while now.
pretty rough-and-ready setup but it ended up working super well and made for a great session. made the maps in Dungeon Alchemist so they had animated running water and flickering lights, looked great

the mushroom men gave me two blurry photos of women for getting all of the shapes. The pink dress one is for getting 120 yellow shapes and the blue dress one is for 120 green shapes and two more yellow shapes. they got auto-saved to my Switch album with a note saying "here you go, dickhead"
