Had an absolute BLAST in Edinburgh. Such a gorgeous city (recommend the Dean Village - Stockbridge walk should you get the chance!). The #CriticalRole live show was spectacular and hilarious - we even got to say hi to Liam O'Brien, and happened upon Sam Riegel out in the gorgeous Highlands. 🫶
This is looking super promising, very excited to see it. #ATLA youtu.be/7b20GRFZBFE?...

Once in a while, I think about this bit of temp VO accidentally left in the Witcher 1, and it never ceases to make me laugh 😂 #TheWitcher #TheWyvernMeats
Critical Role Campaign 4 is on a whole other level - Brennan is a truly a master of his craft 🤯 Can't wait to see how the sundered houses get absolutely wrecked. Definitely gonna try to serve my players with cathartic equivalents in my campaigns going forward 🔥 #DnD #CriticalRole #C4

Finished painting my OpenForge tiles - boy, did I misjudge how much work it is to paint /a few/ highlight bricks on so many walls 😂 #OpenForge #DnD #Terrain #Painting

While Melissa was away to Japan, I might have gotten myself into another part of the D&D hobby 😅. It started with some XPS foam I got at a hobby store. I followed along with some videos online abou...

Bought a 3d printer and started learning how to paint terrain (or in this case, a tower!). Just came across this lovely shot as I was checking today's progress - it made me happy, so thought I'd share 😊 #3dprinting #dnd #dm
Man, I miss Robin Williams, he was such a gem. Every time I see videos, it dawns on me how lovely a person he was.
Surprised how much the layout of a page can affect the reading experience 📖 Compared to the digital books, the #ForgottenRealms hardcovers are so much more playful, tactile and fun to flick through. Didn't expect such contrast, /almost/ glad EU had 3-months delay. Newfound love for print! 🤩 #DnD
Instant buy, they are amazing. 😍
I’ve done it! My Atlas of Faerûn, created for the #DnD supplement ‘Heroes of Faerûn’, is ready for exploring. Available exclusively from my print gallery, It’s an epically sized #RPG #fantasymap & the digital version comes with labeled and unlabeled options included. Huzzah!
Today I learned submarines have windows 😄 This one is making a pitstop in #Stockholm for the weekend.
Gee, I wonder what the DM who hurriedly dubbed the D&D Multiverse “The Great Wheel" had for dinner that evening... It even has the little plastic stand that keeps the box from sagging 🍕😂 #D&D #dungeonmaster #ttrpg #multiverse

Last week, for the first time ever, we lost a player character in our D&D campaign. It took me by surprise how real & serious it felt. Genuinely a milestone that gave us all ✨the feels✨ - and yet another reason to love this fantastic hobby ❤️. #DND #D&D #characterdeath #hobby
