Screenshot of the Evil magic Finger card battle game.

Evil Magic Finger might have been one of the best games I ever designed -- it was one of those rare games where everyone in the studio, from the CEO to the interns, loved everything about and actually played it because they had a blast with it.

Interior of the dining hall at Biltmore Estate.

As a reminder, your #dnd castle dining halls should be FREAKIN' HUGE.

A tower of dice.

Everyone has to built a dice tower at some time.

Even small colonists cast long shadows....

And she is constantly vying for the longest road!

Catan Seafarers expansion.

Got this in the mail yesterday; my 10-year old daughter said, “Can we just take a moment and appreciate how cool the art is?”

A top-down view of a very large, purplish cabbage.

Feel like I am looking at a junior Audrey II, here....

Close up of a "20" on a 20-sided die.

This very well might be the most famed number in all #ttrpg history.

Very happy to see the complete Handbook series from 2nd Ed.

Window in deep stone recess.

This medieval-looking window is located in the time-worn, hoary lands of… Long Island.

A D&D battlemap.

Trying out Dungeon Alchemist for some new maps; this is for my paid #candlekeepmysteries campaign, and the interior of the House of Binding. This was inspired by actual medieval bookmaking techniques. 😅

Wear-n-tear on original AD&D books = love.

Chestnuts Harvested in an Open Field…. May has been bringing home bags of chestnuts for the past few weeks.

The unknown turf war nobody is talking about on a specific university campus, probably because it affects maybe two people.

Close up of a chess game.

I think every hobbyist photographer needs at least one nifty chess shot.

A photo of a small stone fountain with a wall of ivy behind it.

You know what this fountain needs? A Water Weird!

Close up of the AD&D original monster stat block.

Remember the Geek Code? D&D started it all with their "Monster Stats Code."

I think I remember what was in room #2...

Close up of 3 d6s on a risk legacy board showing all 6s.

If my daughter rolls like this in Risk Legacy, maybe I should ask her to roll up my next D&D character?

Sure, until i mass Mechs at your front door.. .

Risk Legacy figurines laying down on a faction card.

My daughter set up an infirmary for her troops that lost battles in our Risk Legacy game. 😂

I get the feeling that my wife is subtly telling me that I am not welcome in Greenland.

Enjoyed the Packers forming a conga line to try and stop Myles Garrett

A towel with the phrase "Does this towel smell like chloroform to you?" on it.

The last thing my wife asked before I fell asleep last night.

Close up of a rulebook corner, worn.

My AD&D 1st Ed. rulebook has seen a lot of love over the years.

...well? Did you have to set up such an office? 😅

Def let me know if you try it.

Gotta admit, yelling "Natural 46!" would be pretty cool!

Just add some glue, and hey presto! A new "big" die!

Five Nights At Family’s I have written about my time in Wisconsin last month, namely enjoying the wonders and joys of the Wisconsin State Fair.

I have noticed a lot of my writing about Wisconsin seems to come down to tasty foods and refreshing drinks…

My current screen arrangement. This is normal, right?
