A real-world castle has been recreated in Dungeon Alchemist for your next #TTRPG adventures!

Here’s Goodrich Castle in Hertfordshire, brought to life by @highlandl4ss.bsky.social to honor her dad.

#SchoolDnD Curse of Strahd, supposedly rescuing Arabelle. Druid thinks about turning into a fish to get to Bluto quicker. Another player remembered the Doubt Trout from

I used a long time ago. I let it happen for giggles. Cue doubting PCs and a comedy interlude. #DnD

Been playing Soulframe after I was given a key. It is amazing and looks very promising.

Today is the 50th Anniversary of the movie JAWS which was originally released on the 20th June 1975. #Jaws50

It's also your occasional reminder that Robert Shaw who played Quint in the movie, grew up and went to school in Stromness #Orkney where his father was the local doctor. 🦈

I both love and dislike foreground layer. Great concept, but not so great when the roof assets I use (bought in marketplace) have a large transparent border meaning they fade when a token gets to 2, sometimes 3 squares away from the buidling they cover.

A bit exotic for Orkney.
It was being harassed by the gulls. Thankfully, it managed to make its way back to its owner, who was calling it.

My beautiful mahogany horse before we headed out on the cross-country course. Only third time on it so was very wary at first. We managed to do some small banks, both natural and man-made. Gorgeous evening was an unexpected bonus.

Pony pampering. Enigma is getting a clean for the dressage tomorrow. Not holding put hopes as she is on tippy toes and over enthusiastic as I took her a short hack and di a little schooling.
On a break for lunch now before finishing up and getting on with tack cleaning.

Lovely hack out after not riding for a week or so. Enigma on tippy toes and had a few jumpy moments (pheasants, noises in the verge, type of thing, except the cattle, which she was perfect with).

I'm definitely glad of rain. Much needed for the field and sand turnout for the ponies.
I was fed up of the dust.

Beautiful in Stromness today.
Also beautiful at 4am this morning when I woke up.
Just over a month to the longest day when it is pretty much light for 18 hours, with twilight, known as the Simmerdim in the Northern Isles.
