y’all wanna help me name a tavern?

it’s simple: pick an adjective on the left and match it with a noun on the right. Slap a “The” in front of it to make it official.

My current favorites are: The Snoring Lord and The Tricky Badger. What about you?

these photos of my bard were taken by another bard. which is why they are absolutely perfect in every way. 

on an actual note, Lenny really outdid himself. He really captured the essence of Polina in these photos, and I’m so so happy I can have some ones with her finished kit. Shoutout to my pals for being willing to jump in these photos & get flirted with for comedic effect, for they are the true rockstars.

does anyone else make playlists for their characters?

Pretty much every single one of my characters from 2016 on have had a Spotify playlist synced up with a character concept. Is this weird? who cares it’s great

It started when I had a concept for a steampunk/post apoc. character who had invented/refurbished an old boombox and would use it in-game with CDs to provide in-game atmosphere. She’d talk between them like a radio host, it’d be a whole thing. So, I made a playlist of songs that I could make into CDs should I ever have the chance to play her!

Ever since then, every character I’ve created has gotten a playlist. My flirtatious bard got one, so did my rogue cartographer, even my fairy who wants to start an orchard did as well! Are they necessarily music-based characters? No! But I find it helps me get into their head-space easier, and stick with the concepts I’ve already created for them better.

As someone who works in professional theatres: it’s super common for actors to make playlists that can help them focus before a show. Usually this is reserved for serious dramas, but truthfully, it could work anytime. I think that might be why I, at least, find music to be super helpful when figuring backstory, or prepping for a game.

But what about y’all? Do you make playlists? What started that for you? Do you also tend to make approx. a billion?

When the larp is in 3 days and your bf has no garb/costuming, you gotta improvise. #larperproblems Measurements, but no pattern. ~1 yd each of linen and brown cotton gauze. #larp #LegendsLegacy #costuming #Areth #TorMorbihan

Sometimes I leave work with leftover food. Other times I leave work with a bag full of cleaned neck bones for a shrine to a god of destruction. My life is complicated.

that moment when you find the perfect furniture prop you've been looking for, but you just can't justify paying $70 for it right now- and it's on Craigslist
