Hi folks!

I'm opening unlimited slots for my commissions! > ko-fi.com/haclif/commi...

I will be rising my prices a bit soon, and wanted to give everyone the chance to lock in your orders at the current rates.

All pieces to be done during December and January.

The Underdark is populated with creatures foul
But the Bard, Sir Turnip spots a potential pal
A monstrous Ottyugh crawls from a pile of rubbish & grit
And Turnip excitedly cries out “Can we bally keep it?”

Our season finale is here! Who will survive? And what will Sanctaris look like when we're done?

There's only one way to find out!

This really cool & innovative dice tray, by Coven of Stitches is made from a repurposed book
I picked it up from Dragonmeet yesterday & I can’t explain how satisfying it is to hold it or close your dice away after a game session

A collection of clues & objects of mystery
The connection between is hard to see
Our heroes are confused & exhausted from trying
So they consult their stolen orb of scrying

Picked up some excellent deals & haul & Christmas presents
Plan to use some of the special items tomorrow

The wife says “The system looks easy, we should convert the party for a Birthday one shot in Ankh Morpork?”🤔

So the countdown to a pre-Dragonmeet treat begins
Heading down to the Big Smoke for Discworld live with @farrantula.bsky.social @sherlockhulmes.bsky.social @katiemorrison.bsky.social & others tonight
Me & Mrs H are so looking forward to it 😁

Finding an outlet for my creativity which allows me to forget about the “adult things” which distract me from being happy and gives me focus on enjoying life

The streets of Menzoberranzan are bustling all day
But through the crowds, our heroes spot Jarlaxle Baenre
Dressed like a glamorous Pirate King, in his garb & his hat
Only makes Sir Turnip seethe & declare “I will bally well see about that!”

We usually count up the amount of curses / Death Throws / seduced maidens that Sir Turnip had in the last encounter 🤷🏼‍♂️

Actually we’re just between levels 10 & 12 collectively
Although we tend to get together to play regularly, we’re more interested in the story than “chasing down the points”
But saying that, we each tend to amaze each other with “and my character does THIS” almost every session

It’s been a Hell of a ride
Sir Turnip has been through a long but interesting character journey along with the others in the party
The Deck of Many Things threw us off course for almost a year (thanks @alderdoodle.bsky.social 🙄)
But we’re all in it for the win 🏆

Wow
Today marks the fifth year since our Convergence of Whispers campaign began
We don’t have the original party
We don’t have the original players
Or even the original system 😳
But much like “Trigger’s broom”, it’s our favourite campaign to date
Happy Birthday to the Platinum Accords🎂

Disguised as Drow, Duergar & a Goblin slave
Our heroes must continue to keep brave
Seeking refuge & their original target
Who knows what they will find in this Underdark market

Quite a few “poo poo” 4th Edition rules, but I was encouraged to seek out some of the sourcebooks produced by a fellow player
The Underdark (picked up at a convention Bring & Buy stall for a steal) gives a deep dive on the environment, politics, travel & of course, No AI included 🤖
