Candle, scent "tears of my players"

I'm like the least #TPK GM, but somehow my friends got me this...

we had a lot of fun. Seven players (seven!) through the cabin finale of Edge of Darkness. It was as gory, gruesome and full of madness as I'd hoped. 3 dead, 1 insane, 2 missing. But they pulled it off!

Restroom hand wash advice

Good advice of the day

Erma Bombeck:
“... not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.”

Star Trek VHS

Stumbled on this relic of my (clearly awesome) youth, #startrek Menagerie 2 parter! Maybe next I'll find the VHS player

If you're not feeling the druid part, see if you can find some other fun things about the character: mischievous, loudmouth, drunk, big storyteller, whatever, have fun. The new players and DM will benefit from the roleplaying you bring

I feel like this is an acceptable tool, a modern version of older tools that improved or modified lighting, colors, or one could argue makeup and protestics to achieve the desired look of an actor

It definitely takes up some space, but I guess that's what cosmic horror does

Arkham Horror board game in progress

Setting up for the Arkham Horror board game

Our first game of #arkhamhorror! Not the simplest game to set up and learn, but we stumbled our way through.
I can't say the same for the city of Arkham, destroyed by the arrival of the god Azathoth: investigators 0, misguided cult 1

So yeah, "Egalite" wasn't really happening, "Le Minty Freshness" was a close third anyway

‘Fairy porn’: is this booming erotica genre an insult to Wales? Some of these raunchy fantasy novels borrow heavily from Welsh mythology - prompting concerns about misrepresentation

Okay so this was inevitable

A mega dungeon. Intrigued by Jennell Jaquays Dark Tower and other works, wanted to put together an inter-connected multi level dungeon with a variety of entrances and creatures/challenges.

I suppose a few tags are in order #cthulhu #fantasyflight

well, and this obviously #christmasinjuries

Can't pretend this isn't my fav gift! In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming...

Happy holidays everyone

A TNG scene. We're in the Enterprise conference room, where Picard is holding a meeting with Data, Troi, and Dr Crusher. Barclay is also there, for unknown reasons. Maybe he wandered into the meeting and just sat down, and everyone was too polite to mention it. That happened to me once. I was visiting an office location I didn't normally go to and I wasn't quite sure which conference room I was supposed to be in. I walked into one and sat down and it took me five minutes to realize I was in the wrong meeting. From the perspective of the people in that room, halfway through that meeting, a stranger walked in, sat next to the boss, took notes for five minutes, then walked out without saying a word.

At its heart, Star Trek is a utopian fantasy about a society so advanced that they are capable of holding productive meetings that last no longer than three minutes
