M: My dear Goose, I know that if I start arguing, you will turn into a smug toad with a plot hidden in your head, shining exactly the way a toadstone doesn’t, but do you think that just once, you could lay your golden egg in the right nest?
B: *starts looking contrary and toadlike*

Brain: *pours out ideas for a different campaign*
M: Try again.
B: *presents an interesting movie script premise*

Sunlight gleams through the outstretched wings of a hawk in flight in this autumn afternoon photograph. The hawk is soaring rightward across the image and is photographed from below. Sunlight adds a white edge to the hawk's red tail and shines through the pale wing feathers. The tips of the wing feathers are dark brown. The hawk's underside shades again to dark brown at the shoulders, and dark striping can be seen on the pale feathers between tip and shoulder. The hawk's sharp yellow beak shines almost too brightly against a blue sky faintly powdered with cloud. A shadow cast by the right wing falls across the hawk's body, cutting off sharply at the intersection between wing and neck. One bright eye can just be seen shining amid the brown feathers of the head.

My pillow vanished in June. It is US standard size, dense, and hard to miss. Fine, these things happen. You need a baku ASAP, the ritual requires a stolen pillow, we’ve all been there. But please, next time, leave a note so I know I’m not imagining that once, I had a pillow.

Do not listen to its honeyed words. Do not speak lest you reveal your own weakness.

single oak leaf was captured in mid-descent in this fall photograph. It shows a sunny autumn afternoon. The sturdy, though thin, trunk of an oak tree appears along the left-hand side of the image. A few brown, dry oak leaves cling to twigs, rustling against the trunk. Away from the trunk, against a clear blue sky, a single oak leaf gracefully falls, laid back, curls upward, relaxed as a gentle dream.

Please boost, so people know their rights.

If you’re in my Strahd game, look away.

Great. So, has anyone put the antagonist from Magnus Archives episode “First Hunt” in Raveloft? Because he’s about to join, complete with haunting, slow melody. Tips welcome!

This close-up of a yellow flower (possibly evening primrose) was taken in the early morning in late summer. Dewdrops are so closely set on the soft, wide yellow petals of the open flowers that the petals appear to be made of yellow dewdrops. Two flowers on the center and left are in full bloom. On the right, yellow petals peep out from the green covers of three burgeoning buds. The rounded texture of the petal dew stands in contrast with the minute dewdrops highlighting the sharp 'hair' of the buds. Dewdrops hang from short, invisible threads dangling off two of the buds -- either longer hairs, or short snippets of spiderweb. The background is dark and soothing, the mood intimate.

GM: “Right. That’s a major world-altering effect in your favor. You convinced them that you are Jane’s sister. You are now listed as her emergency contact.”
Player B: “Oh, we are going to get in so much trouble.”

Yes, you are…

Monday’s game:
Player A: “I’m going to approach the medical staff on duty and see what I can learn.”
GM: “Sure. That’s difficulty 6 task, eased to 5 with your psychology.”
A: “So…nat 20.”

Baby rainbows delight me. We use a diffraction-grating window cling to attract them now, but I sometimes miss the fainter, fluttering bows attracted by swinging prisms.

A bright rainbow shines against a dark blackboard surface. The rainbow takes a large curve from floor to ceiling and thickens slightly in the middle, where the colors are most intense.

Today: making rainbows

A grassy trail leads into the woods. The woods are thick and dark, the sky overcast. Fog trails just above the ground, wreathing the meadow in silvr-grey streaks at the edge of the woods. Plumes of goldenrod bloom on both sides of the trail, their brightness dimmed in this cloudy scene.

So, the pup was bouncing at the door. "Okay, pup, you need a walk, and I need inspiration for the next game session. Let's find a trail with some woods. Any forest trail is Barovia."
Any...forested...trail.
Yup.

A tangle of dew-bedazzled greenery on an early summer morning. The thin stems of these flowers are lined with tiny hairs, each one now shining with its own catch of dew. The edges of the narrow oval leaves glisten with dewdrops. Here and there, a dewdrop hangs precariously from the curve of a stem, likely to fall at the first rustle of wind. Hints of spiderwebbing, bright with dew, criss-cross the thin stems. All the flowers are shut, waiting for a brighter sunlight to unfurl. The edge of a ray of sunlight encroaches on the scene at the upper-left of the image.

I had about 972 things to do. But a soft rain was falling, so I played “A Gentle Rain” by an open window.
Best decision of my weekend.
It’s a lovely, tiny, meditative tile-placement game by @kevinwilson42.bsky.social with art by Wiktor Kosrya. Try it!

I had a superhero Cypher adventure to write. So I wrote the outline. Then I wrote the outlines for the prequel and sequel.
This is one of the problems with ‘superhero’ as a genre.

Last day to enter MCG’s contest! Have your character professionally illustrated (and probably shared with the world). ;)

Wait…I haven’t entered yet, have I?

In my mind, this is “Debauchee of Dew”.

In this late summer photo, a large bee clings to the edge of a jewelweed flower. These tiny, trumpet-shaped flowers, orange with darker orange spots and lips, hang from thin stems, suspended from the center of their lengths. The back end of each free-swinging flower terminates in a tiny curl. The stems are reddish with smooth, mid-green leaves. Jewelweed is full of sap, and the stems have a slightly translucent look. The bee's front legs grasp the edge of the central flower. Tiny droplets of dew glisten on flowers and leaves. The bee's fuzzy yellow and black coat also looks slightly damp, as if it has bathed in dew. Light glistens off its legs, echoing the glistening dewdrops. The bee's translucent wings can be glimpsed between two leaves.
