I've been digging into the new Dragonbane TTRPG (Scandinavian-born D&D alternative), and it seems like a blast. The roll-under and skill-focused systems seem like a much better onboarding experience for brand-new-to-TTRPG players than 5e. Have you had a chance to play a game in it? Thoughts?

Took advantage of my first lazy Saturday in ages to finish these 3. I've always loved the aesthetic of Eberron, and a cowboy bow-slinger absolutely fits the bill. My wife called him, "Yeehaw,"and if we're being honest with ourselves.... Yeehaw Silver is a 100% lore-accurate Warforged name. #dnd

Three hand-painted miniatures, sculpted by Artisan Guild. A Warforged cowboy stands between his two construct hounds. His steel and brass exterior is protected by a thick leather poncho. He wears a white hat and a Sheriff's star. He is wielding two enchanted golden crossbows. One hound is made of steel and brass, the other gold and steel. They are two loyal friends in an otherwise disloyal world. The three of them work together to protect the weak and innocent, bring outlaws to justice, and discover what the heck is making all that racket.

My FLGS has a mini painting competition tomorrow. The categories are, "Fantasy" and "Sci-Fi." I've got fantasy minis for days, but I didn't really have any sci-fi ones. This guy has been sitting on my shelf for nearly a year. I haven't felt "ready." I figured "If not now, when?" #warhammer #tau

A Warhammer 40,000 miniature. The figure is Commander Farsight's "XV-86 Supernova battlesuit," if the Warhammer store is to be believed. He is hand-painted. His battlesuit is blue and green. He wields a power sword, hot enough to cut through the fabric of the universe. He stands atop a stone in the desert, with flowering cacti at his feet. A Warhammer 40,000 miniature.

After attending a local painting workshop, me and the fam fell in love with the Girly Pop painting style. We spent Saturday painting pastel. Technically, this an in-progress shot as I've still got to bedazzle him - but he's looking stylish as hell, and I wanted to share. #dnd #miniaturepainting

A dungeons and dragons miniature painted in the Girly Pop style. The miniature was sculpted by Arbiter Miniatures. The miniature is a mounted warrior wielding a bright white longsword. He is dark-skinned and smiling brightly. His equipment is entirely pastel. His plate armor is baby blue, his chain mail is white, the leather straps of his armor and baldering are bright pink, and the cloth of his cloak and boots are a sunny yellow. His horse's fur matches his armor - baby blue. Its hooves are yellow, and its mane and the feathering on its legs are a soft lavender. The horse's saddle and riding blanket are seafoam green. They stand atop a pile of rubble and the skulls of their enemies, which are strewn about haphazardly.A dungeons and dragons miniature painted in the Girly Pop style.

Vibe coding is the industry’s latest fall into confusing activity for progress. A PM’s job is deciding what gets built and driving it to done. SWEs own the how and ship the product. PMs vibe-coding features is a red flag, they’re distracting themselves instead of using AI to speed up real PM work.

Why Coding PMs Are Creating Tomorrow’s Tech Debt

Let’s say the quiet part out loud. When PMs ship code, it doesn’t make them closer to the work.

i love the feeling of cracking open a new fantasy novel, seeing a map, smiling placidly, thinking "i aint readin all that" and turning the page

Had a wonderful night ringing in the new year with the kids. Painted a couple pirate ships, had a Dragon Prince marathon, and got this cow built - with a full 40 seconds to spare before 2026 officially began.

Two 3d printed miniature pirate ships. The nearer, smaller one is painted a bright, yellow-brown. The much larger one in the background is painted a menacing dark brown. Both are disassembled for easy access. Various painting supplies are strewn across the table the two ships are currently berthed at.A Warhammer: Age of Sigmar miniature. While officially named, Alarith: Spirit of the Mountain, I’ve taken to calling them Big Cow.
