Supposedly funny fellow, DM/GM of way too many TTRPGs

A new project for a new day, certainly a few more different skills to learn from, but definitely a lot I think I can integrate into what I think I may do in future. I for one welcome our Robotic Frog Overlords!

It's been about five years since I became an affiliate, and what with the quiet day, it's time for a small celebration with some puzzling. Gonna see if I can't get some of the missing trophies I have in Blue Prince! Feel free to come around and watch the RNG struggles! www.twitch.tv/gmrocky

Soooo, nearly three weeks later from when this all started, we've got a couple finished products! There certainly have been some frustrations, but I feel that will smooth over with time and once I get into the exact type of work I want to get into for my personal projects. Now, enjoy... APPLES!!!!!

Time and energy lined up for some more progress to be made on learning more Blender. A fair bit of new things to learn with UV mapping, painting textures via multiple methods, playing with nodes for other generated textures, some fun transparency applications, and image projection for textures!

A journey begins! There's been ideas in my head that I felt would be best depicted in 3D, so I'm on the slow and eventual grind to learning Blender. Hopefully future ideas and the things I learn will be one of many things posted now and again here!

To wind it all down with the most cozy space set up and a whirl of activity in the kitchen, we've whipped up some food for our guests to enjoy some time away from their other projects and builds. For the #StreamINK2025 "Pajama Breakfast" prompt for Cozy January Recovery from @streamink.bsky.social

A screenshot from a modded Minecraft server of a well-lit cabin interior. The perspective is set from the living room, where blue and cyan couches sit around a spruce wood coffee table, are flanked by spruce wood end tables decorated with potted poppies and cornflowers, and a peeking corner of a red carpet pokes out from behind the couch. A snowy morning is seen outside through the window and many paintings hang on the walls around the space. Two players in red and green festive-themed pajama wear and ugly sweaters sit on the blue couch, the player dressed in red enjoying maple syrup pancakes with a strawberry smoothie while the player dressed in green enjoys a piece of Vegemite on toast with a cup of café con leche.

What wasn't seen in the previous post was that the whole cabin was just an exterior... but now we an interior decorated and taking a look at the best seat in the house! For the #StreamINK2025 "Comfy Chair" prompt for Cozy January Recovery from @streamink.bsky.social

A screenshot from a modded Minecraft server of a low-lit cabin interior. The perspective is from the living room, where blue and cyan couches sit around a spruce wood coffee table on top of a peach wool rug. A magenta chair sits opposite while a cobblestone fireplace crackles behind an iron bar grating. Further beyond peers into a dining room with a hanging ceiling fan, checkerboard floor kitchen, and small breakfast table near the windows. Paintings adorn the walls and a poppy and orange daisy sit in clay bots on wooden end tables.

Through a bit of time, there is now a cozy cabin built in the mountains we found in our last prompt. And with a bit of magic, we made sure it was the perfect kind of weather outside. For the #StreamINK2025 "Snowy Windows" prompt for Cozy January Recovery from @streamink.bsky.social

A quiet snow day left me with a bit of time to play around and try something different: using Minecraft as a canvas. For the #StreamINK2025 "Shooting Stars" prompt for Cozy January Recovery from @streamink.bsky.social The other prompts will be tied together at the location selected below.

The current #pathfinder2e homebrew campaign in progress! More is being added as we go along, improvements to presentation and I hope overall enjoyment of the party!

Finally stopped being lazy & uploaded all of the sessions we've done so far for S2 of our #Pathfinder campaign, Terra Monstorum. It's mentioned in the playlist description, but sadly session 2, 3, 4 & 5 are gone. Thanks, Twitch. Either way, enjoy! youtube.com/playlist?lis...

This was a little couple of sessions for the between events of the two seasons of the #pathfinder2e homebrew campaign. Giving some highlights and minor continuity to events, with players being some descendants of the first group. Bit of a learning experience, though hopefully still enjoyable.

YOU THOUGHT I WAS DONE? Heh heh heh... But yeah, so here is a playlist as well to a 2 session, short shot that takes place between Season 1 and 2. Things definitely tie into S1 and go into S2, so I'd put this on the back burner until you're ready. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Well here it is, record of the first season of the homebrew #pathfinder2e campaign which started back in early 2023. It was basic, it was scuffed at times, but it was *ours* and I hope some folks find a little enjoyment at just how a chaotic casual table can be.

Adrien@yoadrien.bsky.social · 2y ago

Speaking of playlists featuring recorded sessions for #Pathfinder campaigns... I'm going to be releasing content from the 1st season of Terra Monstorum. So, if you'd rather wait to watch S2, I'll be releasing these 2-3 at a time. Daily? Eh. Weekly? Maybe! youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Been a while, but I doodled. It's all over the place, but that's just how it be sometimes. Experiencing a creative block for months and months and the first time in a while I pick up my tablet pen, this is where we end up. And I am fine with this. #Pathfinder
