... shoulder and was prone to making bad decisions. Also, the DM let me get away with having a flying surfboard (reskinned broom of flying). Just a delight of a character to play on every level.

Sasha, my bladesinger wizard from a Light of Xaryxis campaign my friend ran. Her concept was a cross between a hot-shot fighter pilot (gotta be a spellcaster to spelljam) and a classic romantic swashbuckler. Also, she had just been forced to resign her commission so she had a huge chip on her...

This would be perfect for my idea for a punk rock paladin. Their halberd has "This Machine Smites Fascists" etched on the blade.

Thank you! This picture will be 10 years old tomorrow and we just celebrated our 8th anniversary, but I think it's the smartest decision I've ever made, so I'll be happy to collect congratulations for a long while yet.

A bearded man in a Mexican restaurant. He is wearing a sort of poncho-like costume made of the same material as the brightly-patterned tablecloths, with an imitation place setting glued to the front.

My then-girlfriend now-wife made me this costume so I could be a table while I waited tables on Halloween.

Dudes like this want to be able to talk about how bad their Irish/Italian/Polish ancestors had it and then spout off something like this that a racist asshole would've yelled at their grandfather.

Imagining hungover ICE agents trying to arrest someone while an entire brass band plays at full volume directly in their face makes me smile.

For something very different, you could try out something a little more narrow in focus and narrative, like a lot of Grant Howitt's work. Now is the perfect time of year for a game of Eat the Reich.

Ooh, I think a fun short campaign would involve the characters being high-level retired adventurers who get pulled in for one last job. They have to investigate why an NES squad didn't come back from a job.

Also note the SS James Caruthers, which at 550 feet was the longest freighter on the lakes in 1913 when she disappeared until she was found at the bottom of the other end of the lake this year. Seven other freighters were lost in the same storm.

It sort of looks in the second pic like the throat is white, which I think would rule out yellow bellied. Maybe a least, with that really prominent eye-ring?

A spear is traditional, but a lot of folks these days can't be bothered.

Background bit in a scene where the evil wizard can't finish his killing curse because Nanny Ogg keeps tripping him/shoving a pastry in his mouth/otherwise improbably interfering until he gives up and cries.

"What do we call this one?"
"The Black Oystercatcher."
"We already have a Black Oystercatcher."
"... Blackish Oystercatcher."

I'd love to see them in the wild. I've only seen the captive ones at the aquarium in New Orleans.

I haven't seen them in Michigan, but I keep seeing everyone on the discord talking about seeing them. All the action right now seems to be going on in laudenschlager and cell 3.

Ooof, Michigan is usually a great place to be in the summer, but not when you're laid low in a hotel room. At least you have access to the healing power of Vernors.
