I'm here for TTRPGs, retro tech, heavy metal, illustration, and genre fiction.

Okay look. I've tried to be neutral when it comes to Paizo, since they're ostensibly the "better" option when it comes to big name dragon-games. But you cannot expect me to take them seriously when they start releasing character options that look like they're made of spare He-Man toy parts.

There's absolutely no contest. The Eternal Champion gave us the concept of multiverses, the alignments of Law and Chaos, and the 'white haired brooding anti-hero". D&D and Warhammer are directly inspired by them.

The list of options is a *lot* longer than I would have expected. That said?
HEAR THE BLACKENED CALL. 🤘

This one stands shoulder to shoulder with the Basic Red Box for me.

When in doubt, consult the ancient tomes.

I do tend to use them interchangeably, but 'dwarves' really carries a lot of Middle Earth baggage.

I'm sure there has got to be some game that does it better than this, but I would love to have an open world Drakengard with good flight mechanics and a more interesting fighting system on the ground.

My brother gives me a gift certificate to one of the local pen shops every year, which usually means I come home with a new fountain pen. This year is no different.
It came down to a choice between the new Esterbrook Land colors and this, the Diplomat Viper.

Post your first RPG.
I had no idea what I was doing but I was enthralled.

My personal favorite set is a pair of milled aluminum (aluminium?) dice made by AKO that replaced the numerals or pips with a series of lines. I love how they stand out on the table, even if they did cause a few fights during wargame matches.

Stopped by the FLGS today in order to pick up some gifts and told myself 'no new books'.

Oops.

After all these years, I still think these two are the weirdest ones I have as physical copies.

Post a ship that is neither Star Wars nor Star Trek.

The fewer overly polished and bizarrely rendered cover shots of painfully generic composites that look like they belong on an ad for a sketchy mobile game the better.
Give me stuff like this instead; at least then I can trust that you actually care about your project enough to do it yourself.

The RG40XXV gets bonus points for the nostalgic form factor and a nice screen. The stick below the dpad is nice but not actually analog.
November 18, 2024 at 11:14 PM
This might be the explanation.

> Star Wars & Street Fighter = Star Fighter.

Capcom thought that was a great idea too.

Quote tweet with one of your fave films that isn't a huge hit.

There's apparently a black and white version of this floating around, and I need to get my hands on a copy.

If the #OldestTTRPGontheShelf is going by print date, then there's no contest. I've managed to preserve most of my rpg books over the years, with the exception of a few that have fallen apart from wear and tear. #ttrpg

Bluesky Fountain Pen friends! What pens are you carrying today?
October 1, 2024 at 9:44 PM
Been a while since I did one of these.

Been a rough couple of days, so I thought I'd indulge in something I usually don't do and throw together some fan art.
Some dipshit forgot to charge their ipad though, so this is as far as I got. #sketch #bocchi #kikuri #fanart #myart

Working up a character for a new campaign made me smash through a months-long artblock like the goddamned Kool-aid Man. Meet Declan, my new half elf stealth paladin charged with babysitting the world's most scatterbrained engineer and a klepto druid. #TTRPG #OC #sketches #illustrations #D&D
