#Dnd session recap:🎲

After a grueling battle in the laboratory, the group takes a much needed short rest. The undead presence saps them of their will and potency of healing spells.
Further on, they are waylaid by prisoners of the Beholder, namely three giants of the elements! Chaos ensues.🤙

#Dnd session recap:

The heroes delve ever further into the Beholder's den. They discover a skeletal dragon amidst a macabre laboratory. A battle ensues between the powerful undead dragon and a swarm of zombies. All the while, the beholder blasts eye rays from afar.

Last night's #dnd session:

The Mosswood Brotherhood continues their ascent through the Beholder's den only to be waylayed by a massive skeletal dragon and some zombies.
Insane battle, particularly a table record 88 damage critical from the paladin!

As a Forester, I get to protect the land and educate people about resource management and our beautiful environment.

I am a proud steward of the land.

Pictured below is all the trash I have found today alone.

People can be absolute lazy shit.

A video pan one of my players took as we began our multi-hour #dnd marathon.

The vestibule is quiet, lined with fallen debris, old barrels of junk and a row of enlarged statues at the end of the hall...

Diablo soundtrack for vibes 🎵

Some pictures from our annual #dnd marathon session.

The Heroes are traversing a Beholder's den, deep in the realm of Shadowfell. A brutal grind.

Vampires, Trolls, Zombies and Helmed Horror akimbo!

My buddies and I get together once a year for an annual #dnd marathon session.
It's become a tradition to give dice sets for reverence and honoring big CRITs.

Pictured is my haul, the DM feasted!

Hades 2 is incredible. Such a fun game.

Addictive gameplay loop.
Fantastic improvements over the first.
A true sequel in every sense.

Go play it and be happy!

📢 To any gardeners, landscape designers, and nursery loving people:

🛑 STOP planting Burning Bush (winged Euonymus)

It overwhelms the understory and smothers all natural growth. Look at this forest, not a sapling or regrowth in sight because of this terrible, invasive plant.
#forest #nature

Last mow of the year. The fresh autumn air smells so nice with grass and leaves mixed.

Our broccoli is stubborn as the bees, one of the last sunny days we will have!

Proud of my small town and a HUGE turnout!

Solidarity is strength.

No Kings, never shall we submit! NO KINGS!

Balatro challenge mode complete!

Golden Needle whomped me over and over.

Easily took me twenty tries just to get to the final ante. Never surrender!

Happy Friday gamers and geeks and fellow freaks 🤘

I'm ready to slay in the underworld once more.

A month ago I was involved in a hit and run with a tractor trailer. My SUV was totaled and I narrowly escaped with my life.

One month later and an unexpectedly good check from GEICO let me purchase a newer Subaru.

Life works in mysterious ways...

Harvest Moon out here looking like a spotlight. This is surreal.

My coworker for the day!

Salamanders are like Canaries in the coal mine, but for the forest.

This is a good ecological sign. The lake abides.

Not the best seats in the stadium, but they were perfect. Went to the NY Giants game with some lifetime buddies and it was one of the most electric and exciting games I've ever witnessed.

The crowd was so intense!

Go Big Blue, welcome to a new era!

The Bronx Zoo is king of the Zoo experiences.

If ever you get the chance, I urge you to visit.

Spectacular exhibitions, interactive displays and incredible animals throughout. An American staple since 1898!

Incredible action, amazing gunplay, epic soundtrack and snappy controls.

A masterful shooter. Rip and tear baby 🤘
