I make music, art, and run D&D games professionally on startplaying.games! I also made animations and hosted a podcast up until I became a dad! Check out my stuff below if you'd like!

Since I do a lot of multimedia work, most of my art happens to compliment my music or dungeon mastering jobs. Here's an example of thumbnails I've made for various songs I've composed and uploaded to youtube!

I'm back from a family funeral and I need $500ish before the 16th of this month.
I got a few orders to do but any and all work just to get that little bit more to help me pay off this debt would be greatly appreciated 🙏

curse of strahd the complete adventure poster with a castle on top of a hill in the background
Alt: An animated gif that displays the text, "curse of strahd: the complete adventure" over a castle on top of a hill, with lightning striking the tallest tower. The background cycles from the castle to various characters from the adventure, ending on a zoom-in of Strahd himself, revealing a toothy grin.

Hey, a wonderful human being and one of my closest friends needs financial support to help get through a crisis. Not only is he going to be separated from his family, but he's getting kicked out by his landlord and will be unhoused. If you can chip in, please do! gofund.me/b335fcb7

I don't 'refuse to use' AI, I just don't use AI; in the same way that I don't shoplift, or plagiarise other people's books - it requires no effort of will, it's just not something I would think of doing
Bizarrely framed article about the people (all women) who ‘refuse to use AI’. And a #philosophy professor who says “The moment to opt out of #AI has already passed”. Oh well. That’s that then. 🤷♂️ #AIEthics www.bbc.com/news/article...
The people refusing to use AI
Worried about the environment and the loss of skills, some people are resisting the rise of AI.

Not surprising. Not sure "prep" and "goth" are necessarily opposites, nor are any of these mutually exclusive though. You can be a nerd and also love exercise and competition, or do competitive sports and also love video games and math.

It is so hard to advertise paid #DnD games.
Its a hurdle to convince some that paying is actually a great way to ensure consistency and experience, and since there's so many other paid DMs hustling out there, it's difficult to get any traction.
What might convince you to pay for D&D? For science.

I have a bone to pick with the advertising people for Sesame Street. Just watched Follow That Bird, the 1985 movie starring Big Bird. Nice movie, and an interesting snapshot into the state of the show during that era.
