Alright. Vacation over - time to get ready for some new games.

Shadows Approaching the Lone-Lands is turning out to be quite the workload but boy do these maps look pretty.

Started the work of spreadsheet setup to start balancing D&D spells to homebrew classes.

I'll eventually figure out the # xD

New Games on the Horizon:

5e 2024
• Onyxian Sagas
• Heresy of Steel

The One Ring
• Shadows Approach

Cats! The Conspurracy
• Fly-Over Felines

Rogue Traders
• Salvaging Epsilon

Most names are kind of just stand ins for now.

Going out to see Bandai Fest and having fun! Great time on vacation.

So... do add more cooking and drink recipes to my D&D games?

The real debate as I prep for holiday cooking.

Today's Work

Setting up Player's Guide to Valerna for future Dragonbond D&D 5e games

- 12 ancestries / 38 lineages
- 21 classes / 114 subclasses

Currently about... 20% of the way through this and updating content for 2024 rules.

Still need to enter in the various feats.

Last print before I go to visit family for the holidays. Next step - learn how to paint. XD

Going to need to learn how to take steady photos. I really do need practice... or maybe not use my phone.

Decided to try out printing a tiny sized creature. Here is Xaltozani, the coatl hatchling, from Tyrant of the Cursed Coast, a D&D 5e Dragonbond: Endless Sagas adventure by Draco Studios.

Every party I've ran through this adventure has loved this baby girl.

Need to clean them up, but printed some Draco Studio miniatures from Battle of Valerna. Probably use them more for my Onyxian Sagas 5e games than the war game... unless I can find folks interested in the war game near me.

Wrote 5k words for a review of a Gravelord boss for a playtest and we haven't gotten to the boss yet. ^.^;

Have Wind and Truth to read up on and a Gnoll Warband encounter to finalize.

Busy times but we've gotten started on 3D printing things, so fun relaxing times are ahead!

Time to travel for the holiday!

Then next week doing playtests of new megabosses for Erevan's Guide to Undeath.

I'm curious how they stand up to players.

I'm making sweet potato casserole as my contribution to the holiday meal though so that mystery will need to wait till I survive Thanksgiving!

Working on some YouTube shorts regarding homebrew and still waiting for the resin that hasn't shipped for my 3D printer.

Can't wait to post my first attempts (and failures likely)!

Fenrir, my corgi who takes offense to unshredded cardboard and chews through chew resistant leads, has decided that I am pillow shaped and must be laid upon at all moments. He cares not that said pillow is running a game or is actively complaining and tries to stretch to his full length if able.

XD

Getting dungeon inspiration from IKEA. Now... hopefully I don't walk past the same couch again trying to navigate.

Some days I hate it when I decide I'm going to do something extremely difficult knowing well enough that I'm the only one who will actually fully interact with it.

On the other hand, that one person who does end up using it will make it all worth it.

Balancing homebrew can be fun and exhausting.
