Horror Round-Up

Hello, Ghouls & Goblins. This article is posting on Halloween, my favorite holiday. Since this is a 5th Monday in a month, it's Dealer's Choice here. I've written a number of articles about running a horror-based D&D campaign, and it seemed like as good a time as any to do a round-up of these articles. I've also included some autumnal-oriented articles, just to round things out.

Hand-forged and one-of-a-kind labradorite amulet made by me 💘

Carved natural labradorite skull set in sterling silver. Rings and bezel soldered to a thick backplate for durability.

Can be worn multiple ways, tied into hair, laced through shoelaces, or as a choker.

In metaphysical circles, labradorite is revered as a potent protector, shielding one’s aura to ward off negativity. It's believed to not only guard against external forces but also to help neutralize internal negativity. Labradorite's renowned iridescence, symbolizing transformation, is closely tied to its reputation as a stone that bolsters inner strength and self-value. Additionally, it's thought to stimulate the throat chakra (communication, self-expression, creativity). While not linked to any specific zodiac sign, labradorite is often said to resonate strongly with those born under the sign of Cancer.

I want to share some wisdom from my high school art teacher.

In my AP Art class, there was a girl who was just starting to experiment with mixed media. At this point she was still playing around, trying to decide what direction she wanted to go with her portfolio. So one critique day, she brought in an abstract canvas with some rhinestone highlights and painted and real peacock feathers. She loved sparkles and peacock feathers so she thought she’d try introducing them a *little*. And after everyone had given some input, the teacher gave her his advice, VERY roughly paraphrased here:

“So here’s the thing… I do not like this style. These are just elements that do not speak to me personally, but I see that you like them, and you’re doing interesting things with them.

“My biggest critique is, I only merely *dislike* this piece. I want you to make me HATE it. Go crazy with the things that you like. Don’t hold back trying to make it palatable to people like me. Because I am NEVER going to like it. And if the audience does not like it, it should drive them crazy seeing how much YOU love it.”

Her portfolio was chock full of neon colors and glitter and rhinestones and splashes of peacock feathers and it was a delight. Our teacher despised every piece lol, but she got great marks and I think even won some awards. And more importantly, she was happy and proud of the results. Because she didn’t limit herself by trying to appeal to people who were never going to enjoy what she enjoyed.

Takeaway here: be as cringe as you want. Don’t limit yourself based on other ppl’s tastes. They’re not you, and you are incredible 💕
