Home from work and the time change has me absolutely famished.

So I'm breaking the rules for the month to have a snack before dinner.
A handful of peanuts and macadamia nuts.

D&D cancelled for tonight, so it's that time again.
A picture of an adventuring party from the tabletop roleplaying game book Daggerheart. The image shows a group of adventurers gathered around a makeshift campfire, under a tarp. They are surrounded by the remains of their recent kill, an enormous sea creature. They appear to be preparing to cook and it eat its remains. Text is overlaid stating "Ask me anything about TTRPGs or my TTRPG characters."

When a god of valorous battle and a god of bloodshed love each other very much... #Thades
A screenshot from Twitter. It shows a 2-panel meme from the Simpsons. The top panel shows a bus driver saying "Don't make me tap the sign." The bottom panel is altered to show the driver taping a sign tat says "The Westermarck Effect does not apply to the Greek pantheon."

Whelp. Mothership space horror game canceled. Time to take a page out of Will's book.
An art piece from the TTRPG Daggerheart. The image shows a group of adventurers seated for a meal around a campfire. Surrounding them are the tentacles of an enormous sea-beast they just killed, and are presumably eating. Above them is an orange canvas roof providing them cover, held up by handles of weapons that are stabbed into the tentacles.

You know what you must do.
A picture of Dean Winchester from Supernatural. He is pulling his shirt down and to the side, revealing a tattoo of a five pointed star surrounded by a circle of firey lines. In the lore of the show this helps ward off demonic possession.

Fun art this session included for visual reference. #Thades
A picture of concept art from the Theros block of Magic the Gathering. The picture shows 3 women in full body, dressed in an assortment of armor. The first woman wears a golden breastplate, golden greaves, carrying a gold and white shield with a one handed golden axe. The second woman appears to be wearing a full bronze chest plate and body armor with an accented red and white skirt, bronze pauldrons, and bronze greaves, with a bronze helmet with red accents. She carries a sharp gladius in one hand that drips blood. The third woman wears a bronze and green chestplate, a half-skirt of bronze armor with an under-skirt of green and white, and green/bronze greaves. She carries a curved longsword in one hand, with a shield the size of her upper body resting on the ground beside her, held vertical with her hand. Next to her is a close up of her upper body, showing her wearing bronze and green accented headgear, with a sharp forward swooping crest. As well, an image of her from behind, showing her hair tied tightly in braids, and bound in a leather brain from the helmet. An image from the Theros card set for Magic the Gathering. It shows two titanic gods locked in combat. On the left is Mogis, a minotaur clad in golden plates of armor from hoof to shoulder. He is reaching out to the figure on the right, his centaur brother Iroas. Iroas is clad in a golden breastplate with a golden shield strapped to his flank. Iroas clutches one of Mogis' horns in his hand, rearing back his other fist to strike. Below them in a tiny town, showing the enormous scale of these titanic godly figures fighting. An image of the necropolis of Asphodel, showing a greyish-white temple of Grecian design. It is built upon marshy land, with great tepid grey waters flowing around it. The building is illuminated with blue-white ghost lights in the interior, and columns marble topped with this same blue-white ghost light. Tiny grey figures can be seen wandering between the open columns, signifying the undead Returned who live there.

I figured out why Julien hated Thjazi so much.
A meme image from a manga series. It shows to women kneeling on a bed, dressed in lingerie. They both have their hands covering their faces, and are blushing in embarrassment. The text box between them reads "And so... they were both bottoms."

I FIGURED IT OUT.

I know what creature I will add to the Sablewood setting in my #Daggerheart game.

Take one of the world's smallest antelopes. And combine it with a gorgeous, fantastical bird with a stunning plume of feathers.

I present the idea of...

The Dikcock. Part dik-dik, part peacock.
A picture of a very small antelope species, known as the dik-dik. It is approximately the size of a medium sized house cat. It is being weighed on a small scale, held in place by 2 human hands. A picture of a gorgeous peacock, its plume of green, blue, and golden feathers spread wide.

Every day is now just this.
A meme that shows a woman being handed multiple plates of pancakes with butter and syrup, meant to indicate an overwhelming abundance of things all at once. The top caption reads 'Trying to figure out which game to play'. Three of the plates are labeled with different games: Hollow Knight Silksong, Hades II, and Final Fantasy Tactics The Ivalice Chronicles.

Good ol' Two Knives Liz strikes again.
A 4 panel comic of a scene from the Simpsons. It takes place in Moe's the bar frequented by Homer and friends. The first panel shows a sad Homer looking down into his beer.

The fourth panel shows Moe speaking about his 2 knives saying "I gotta tell you, this is pretty terrific."
