Rushing into a meeting but here's today's video!! I literally just finished it — cutting up all that journal footage took way longer than I anticipated 😅
Hopefully I'll have time to get a decent thumbnail together after my meeting. Accepting Bardic Inspiration, Bless, etc. on this front 😬

Na'Krasha's look has been updated thanks to a few new pieces! Pip from Foxes & Ravens created this gorgeous set of spaulders (if you want your own, tomorrow is the last day they're taking orders for this style!), and I also picked up a new wig from Sapphire Wigs and some new tusks from
Hey friends!! A little light clickbait for you this week, because "action economy" is simply not a sexy and clickable phrase 😂 But I've been learning a lot about it and I've become convinced that it's maybe THEE most fundamental skill for DMing combat!
I've been moving away from any mechanically-focused topics this year, since I wouldn't consider it a strength of mine and I'd rather my channel be focused on storytelling and play, but this is just something that's been really helpful ...

Snapped a few May Bell photos at my local park this week!
I've been wanting to work outdoor shoots back into my process lately. The ease of just snapping a few photos while I'm already in costume has gotten me into a bit of a rut where most of my photos are no wider than waist-up and are largely shot against backdrops or on a flat background. I've noticed that it's made my photosets a bit repetitive over time.
I also needed more May Bell photos for the encounter PDF I just release...

Keeping with the pixie theme for May's downloads, here is an encounter centered around May Bell! While players can certainly take this in a combat direction if they like, this can also be a fun problem-solving encounter that allows for social roleplay, sneakery, and general mischief. (It also makes a great drop-in encounter for when your players are traveling, similar to Camp Sights or 2023-05-31 17:50:28 +0000 UTC View Post

Some quick stills of Mite, the goblin boss from this week's video! I took a few that are like... "the photo that goes on the badge that gets you access to the parking garage," and a few with some furs that are more "normal goblin."
I'm glad everybody seems to be taking to Mite, because I definitely want to bring her back!

I had the absolute privilege of working with Angel of @peachyblossomsart to create custom artwork for each of these five pixie variants!
Some of these pixies were inspired by a specific environment, while others were inspired by a purpose I thought they could fill for a dungeon master. I think pixies are such a fun little creature because they're not likely to fill the role of "monster" or even "ally" d...

Once again, huge thanks to all of the Patrons who contributed lyrics to this video! Whether your submission made it in or not, I can't tell you how creatively inspiring it is to get to work in a team with you guys! 🩷

2023-05-20 14:45:00 +0000 UTC View PostBlake and I have spent this whole week putting together no fewer than THIRTY THREE(!!!) pop songs featuring YOUR parody lyrics for my bardic inspiration video!
We’re not doing a full-on medley, but we’re stringing many of the songs together into little thematic arcs to give the video a sense of flow.
Here’s a quick little behind the scenes of us recording three of the song clips in a chain: Eye of the Tiger, Barracuda, and Holding Out for a Hero.

This is my first time shooting a video in this style and format, so it’s been a bit of an experiment editing it, but I’m really excited about how it’s shaping up. I’m aiming for this to come out next Wednesday!

Holy crap, it's May! (This is the time of year when we can all start panicking about how fast the year is going, right?)
I spent waaaay too long creating these NPC portraits in Photoshop from various stock images for April's PDF rewards, so I figured I might as well share them in case they can be useful for anybody else's game! Personally I love having visuals for NPCs that I can show to my players so they have a really clear mental picture.

This collection of five NPCs is built to drop into a royal court setting! Each character has a description, personality traits to aid in roleplaying them, and a quest hook your players can learn about from them. (Each also has a portrait that I spent way too long Photoshopping from stock images 😅) Download the PDF here.
