Just made a big update to Patreon. All the maps are done for the Guide to East Gulthmere Forest. Hundreds (maybe thousands) of trees drawn one at a time.

So the castle for the squirrel cam has completely fallen apart. Does anyone have any suggestion for a fun replacement for a feature that I could put nuts in?

That moment when a Nothic asks for forbidden knowledge but you’ve only got expired rations and anxiety.

#dndcomic @dndbeyond.com
D and D Beyond Comic for October 3rd title: Thanks For Nothic A small Nothic has approached a wizard at the entrance to a dungeon and asks, "You wouldn't happen to have any forbidden knowledge on you by chance?" The wizard worridly says, "Sorry, no." The Nothic follows up with, "A hidden mystery? Uncanny Truth?"

My halfling warlock nearly died several times tonight. The Rat Prince bit his throat and he was bleeding out, but he did manage to behead the Rat Prince by the end. Super scary battle. #dnd #dndart

Any folks have recommendations for "Castle like" / "Fantasy setting" areas to take pictures in the Seattle area? I'm looking for some backgrounds.

Heavy Spell list is might magic indeed. #dnd #dndart #comic #ttrpg @dndbeyond.com
A group of adventurers are in a dungeon surrounded by unconscious cultists. One of the cultist is at the sword tip of a fighter. The Fighter says to the team, "Nice job getting us in here with the Heavy Stealth." The cowering cultist says, "Fools! When the Dark Lord detects my thoughts, you will be discovered!" The goblin barbarian, wielding a club that has the words "Mr.Bonk" written on the side of it replies, "Well then I should cast Heavy Modify Memory."

New Anti-Pigeon system has been installed and tested and those fuckers hate this thing. An RC car and some zip ties that I can trigger remotely to make a lot of noise. Come watch me make some pigeons pee there pants as I feed squirrels and birds in a tiny castle.
