Who's a good boy?! Rainer came with a visiting friend and was such a sweet dog. Framing-wise, it's not a great picture, but he's a worthy subject. D850, ƒ/1.4, 1/200, 105mm, ISO100 #photography #dog #bernesemountaindog #gooddog #petphotos

My favorite GM handout? Working on end-of-chapter gifts for my players, I found images of healing potion bottles full of four-sided dice online. I loved the idea — Photoshopped custom labels, stuck them on bottles, and filled them with d4. #ttrpghandout #GM #d&d #dungeonsanddraggons #gaming #ttrpg
