Its ink and color marker drawings of multiple sprite redraws from Fields of Mistria. Its the water sprite statue, a moon fruit, a marigold flower, a monster shell, a daikon radish, a grilled cheese with the gooey cheese, a capybara with a tangerine on its head, a jade dulse, an orange, a basket of yarn balls and lastly a jar of blackberry jam! Not very detailed I tried to replicate their simple game sprite looks.

Standing atop ruins at the end of the world, an anguished Elric thrusts the runeblade Stormbringer to the heavens. The sky behind him roils with clouds rendered in acidic green. The chainmail on his right arm is torn. He wears a yellow tunic and belts strapped across his waist and chest crusted with jewels. His purple and black cloak billows in the wind. From a leather cord, he holds an ivory horn with ornate swirls of gold. The ruins he stands upon are crumbling, including the face of a skull that is missing a chunk of forehead and part of the orbital. The mouth isn't human given the fangs in its mouth and the horns protruding off the side of the head that is intact. Off to the side, a pterosaur-like creature perches with wings spread.

I remember trying to get in the mood of painting for the last time the albino sorcerer king, Elric. I took a clothes rail out of a closet for my sword and ran around outside slashing at weeds and lunging at the breeze. 1/5

It's Monday, works boring and I know you're probably thinking, damn, I wish I could buy a cool magazine about tabletop games today that will then be delivered in September as a little treat to future me...

Well, looks like you just rolled a nat 20 kiddo!

The Languages of D&D Imply a Specific Setting โ€” Prismatic Wasteland If you start from the premise that languages in D&D make sense you can extrapolate a bit about its implied setting.

You probably know how languages in D&D work: pretty much everyone speaks โ€œCommonโ€ but there are also a smattering of languages different ethnic groups speak like Elvish and Dwarven. For this to make sense, it tells us something about the implied setting of D&D

This is one the last projects I worked on at DnD and it's just oozing with fun Eddie-isms and 80's nostalgia. Couldn't be prouder of this product and all the brilliant minds behind it.

One Hundred Thousand Dragon Encounters No, I'm not actually going to describe one hundred thousand encounters with a dragon. How would I even do that? If you want an exhaustively ...

I wrote about all the variables that go into generating a random encounter in the wilderness (with a dragon, in this case). An encounter with a dragon is not *just* an encounter with a dragon, but an encounter with the world the player characters live in!
