An RPG blog about gaming and sometimes mental health!

The lovely young Hops Goldenoak! A dwarven Warlock with her Hydro Cat Barley. She comes from a family of famous brewers (Goldenoak ail). She’s very short tempered, but loves her friends dearly. Hops is very much a free spirit and her water based magic comes from a powerful river fairy.  

The Keg of Holding is Hops’s weapon of choice, which can contain thousands of different types of drinks. I had immense fun designing this weapon and all its taps, locks and buttons. 

Hops belongs to (I am guessing) Kat (a.k.a. Dee-Enn-Dee), and was commissioned by Sam (a.k.a. yourlocaleggs) as a gift.

Well hellooo! New commission finished!

Kyle, the Dungeon Master of the group, commissioned this piece for his adventurers as a parting gift. He wanted the real life people portrayed in their character’s get-up and acting in character. Designing the costumes and getting their expressions juuuust right was a lot of fun! So I’ve added some detail shots as well. 

Left to right (clockwise): Giro: water Genasi and a cleric of Vogan. A quiet fellow with a troubled past / Durbin: human monk and drunken master. Never found without a drink in his hands / Shadow: an Arakorka Rogue. A  sinister guy. Likely not to be trusted  /  Volanir: a Human noble warlock. Finds himself quite the leader. Has a logical mind and calm disposition. / Marcus:  Human Cleric of the god of society. Annoys Volanir to no end with his proper and social ways / Pierce: a human bard who enjoys attention. ‘Go big, or go home’ attitude. / and Kyle: the DM, their evil overlord :)

Give your players a bag of infinite gold, but apply probability theory.

When they try to grab a piece of gold, each individual piece of gold has a one in infinity chance of being chosen. That reduces to zero. The chance of drawing each individual piece of gold is zero. Probability rules (0 x infinity)/infinity = 0/1 = 0 so they get nothing. They can feel it all in there, but they can’t get anything out. If they try dumping it, apply the same logic to say nothing falls out.

They have more than all the money in the world but it’s entirely useless.

D&D, except the names of spells, weapons, places and monsters are taken from Cards Against Humanity.

At level 1 you learn the cantrip of “Bees?”

Up late tonight finishing a few last minute pieces for this weekend, including these Orlais and Ferelden themed dragon dice holders. :)

Ferelden was originally going to be a Cullen inspired dragon, but I worked out a design I like much more.

These will be available this weekend at SuperCon, booth 2126!

In Person vs Online Gaming

Is it just me or is DMing online a lot different than DMing in person? I struggle to DM in person though online is normally a breeze. It could just be that I have only played with brand new players in person. Any thoughts?

I’m SO excited to share that I’m part of a newly launched Kickstarter project for a beautiful game master’s journal pack!!

I’ve teamed up with Arcane Goods who is making this gorgeous leather journal,  if it reaches the stretch goal, I’ll be designing an alternate version! This will have even more than the GM Kit in my store; it will include spell cards, item cards, a folding dice tray, a GM screen illustrated by @rpgtoons, zip pouches, cheat sheets, dry-erase initiative tents, and more.

I’m dying to start working on the alternate design, but first we need to hit the stretch goal. So even if you’re not able to get one for yourself at this moment, a signal boost is much appreciated!
