Daniel was kind enough to post this low-res version of his Ancient Hutt Battle Armor.

Ah, my beloved Hutt in Battle Armor, which I conceived for the d20 Star Wars adventure Tempest Feud, and was then included in the official novel based on that adventure, Jeff Grubb's "Scourge."

#TTRPGPITCH "Creature Comforts"
Monsters live in dark, dank, cold dungeons. Deliveries are slow, and plagued by bandits. So when a lich wants better lighting for its library or a rakshasa needs overstuffed furniture, they turn to YOU design, transport, and install what they need.

Some more spot art for a project in illustrating 👀

This reminds me of that Frankie Boyle joke about how Americans not only come to your country and kill your people, they also come back twenty years later to make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers sad.

I strongly suspect the difference is no one thought Iraq was anywhere near having nukes.
It makes no difference legally, but if I had to guess, it's what is creating a different reaction internationally.

#GameNightQuotes: "You hear haunting, lilting voicing singing a song."
"A FAIRY song?"
"It is almost certainly a fairy song."
"Oi fey."

#GameNightQuotes: "Druid, it's your turn."
"I have a plan."
"Okay."
"It's a really good plan."
"Okay. What is the plan?"
"I yell 'HEY ASSHOLE, WE'RE OVER HERE!' and then I run away."

#GameNightQuotes: "Since I am trying to distract the fire elemental I guess I'll try to look... hot?"

I only draw them together once a year 🥺 #Raruurien #art

A Nonein Board allows you to perform a ritual to not communicate with spirits of the dead.
It is almost 100% successful.
#SpiritBoards #UrbanFantasyItems

A Dvořákja Board allows communication with spirits of the dead with fewer ritual movements, and less theosophic strain. It takes some getting used to, though, and should not be used without extensive prior experience if asking anything that is spelling-sensitive.
#SpritBoards #UrbanFantasyItems

An Emouija Board allows you to communicate with spirits of the dead with simple icons, such as smiley face, eggplant, poo, and the-person-who-murdered-me-is-right-behind-you, which is surprisingly popular.

#GameNightQuotes: (Circa 2022) "I pass a beartrap up to her so she can clamp it onto a tree and trail the chain down for us to climb up."
"Heh. You and your bear-traps."
"Hey, when the only tool on your sheet is a bear trap..."
"Everything looks like a bear? But, in this case, it's a good idea."

"Poor Justiciar"
