"Marika bathed the village of her home in gold,
knowing full well that there was no one to heal."

Museum sign showing a roaring sabretooth cat. A small child is included for size comparison, and looks like he's about to boop it.

DO NOT BOOP THE KITTY

Sewer Connectors (2026 B)

Another connector map to sit between points of interest in a sewer-crawl. Fantasy sewers are their own beast, really, with little resemblance to anything real-world. So let's run with it!

I can't compete with this.

The first 3rd party tie-in for @dndbeyond.com season of horrors has been announced.

Nothing like a bunch of the scariest monsters you'll ever encounter in the game teaming up to fight for a common goal.

Total Party Killers sounds like a great time. Issue #1 drops in July 2026

Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks on AI, KPop Demon Hunters, and Harry Potter “Megatron makes fun of you for not picking thrash rock”

This is the most reassuring statement I’ve seen re: D&D and AI, mostly bc Chris Cocks is exalting it the rest of the piece: “There are some brands that the audience, the creators, just don’t want it, so we don’t even have it in our pipelines for our video games or for Magic: The Gathering, or D&D.”

Show your range ! 🦇💙

Revisiting my Smaug the Golden painting on the blog today. Created for the Hobbit card game 14 years ago, it is still my favorite of the five Smaug paintings I did for the game. christopherburdett.blogspot.com/2026/03/revi... #smaug #dragonart #dragonartist #thehobbit #smaugart #smaugartist #hobbit

This is great! Thank you. :)

Happy Gary Retrograde everyone!

The next two weeks are the only two weeks out of the year when Gary Numan is older than Gary Oldman

Framed by a full moon rising over hilltop, a female warrior poses triumphantly with her foot on the corpse of a defeated foe. Her heavy armor is a combination of segmented plate and exposed chainmail. Pauldrons flare wing-like, as does the bottom of her helm which is topped with a high tassel. Unrestrained wispy blonde hair is caught by the breeze. She holds a long spear with ribbons also stirring. A heavy mace hangs on her opposite hip while a sword with thin curving blade and crescent ornament on the grip hangs low on her back. A black steed cranes its neck ever so slightly to see around her.

When doing a cover for an anthology, I usually just had to come up with an image that communicated the underlying theme tying the stories together, and then run with it. 1/3

Strongly suspect that as this war and its negative effects escalate, we're gonna see a massive increase in disinfo and unsourced "news" - starting right the hell now.

PLEASE don't share "breaking" news from rando or disreputable accounts who provide no links.

Wishing happy International Women's Day to all fellow women!
Be whatever you want to be, trust yourself and follow your dreams 🌿

And happy springtime to everyone 🌿

A water colour painting of a dragon with blue wings in front of a mountain range with aurora dancing overhead. Written below it says "the sea waves are my evening gown, and the sun on my head is my crown - I made this queendom on my own, and all the mountains are my throne."

Happy International Women's Day.

My daughter painted this this morning. And I can't think of a better tribute.

The lyrics are from Aurora's song Queendom.

We're all TABs. Temporarily Able Bodied. One day everyone will need help with something somehow.

Building for accessibility helps everyone.

The Aurora Tree: Pictured is a visual coincidence between the dark branches of a nearby tree and bright glow of a distant aurora. The beauty of the aurora—combined with how it seemed to mimic a tree right nearby—mesmerized the photographer to such a degree that he momentarily forgot to take pictures

The meme with a guy and two girls. The guy is labeled 1:59 AM. His girlfriend islabeled 2 AM. The cute girl coming the other way is labeled 3AM.

Meme: Shut the Fuck Up, Greg. Text: A couple and their child were looking over our Marvel characters plush at my work, right? And the dad turns to the little girl and asks, "Which Marvel character do you want?" His little girl, maybe 9 replies, "Mmm, I think I want Captain Marvel." Dad makes a face, and says, "How about you choose a real super hero and not a little princess?" Me and my coworkers are about to smack down on this man when his wife makes a FACE and says, "Honey, you get Captain Marvel." Then turns to her husband. "Shut the FUCK up, Greg." And that has become out new motto for dealing with misogynists at work. Shut the fuck up, Greg.

Drop something YELLOW!

This is the kind of joke I live for
