RESILIENCE. In honor of Ukrainian fortitude & perseverance, from the Holodomor to the horrors of today. Gouache on Arches hot press. Prints available, 8x11, $20. 100% of the profits will be donated to @UnitedHelpUA.
Special thanks to @AsgardTabletop for commissioning me. 🙏
*So* excited by the ideas and sketches coming from the artists who have stood up to join us in supporting Ukraine. We expect to be able to publish the first set within the week.
The responses so far have been fantastic, and we welcome more. There are a ton of inspirational moments to capture and symbols to illustrate over the last few days.
Artists! Wish you could use art to react to the Russian invasion, but don’t feel like you can take time away from paid work? We can help! Looking to commission multiple pieces capturing the heroism of UA resistance to tyranny, one of our core values.
DM for details, and share!
@terrelljstarr Hvar’s þú bǫl kannt,
kveðu þat bǫlvi at,
ok gef-at þínum fjándum frið.
When you recognize evil,
call it evil,
and give your enemies no peace.

@mmeowip For artists who do or might work with us (Asgard Tabletop Games), we do not and will not participate in any form of crypto-based artificial scarcity such as NFTs. We are going to be including that fact in contracts from now on.
If you’re a fiction writer—even outside of TTRPGs—@SlyFlourish’s Lazy Dungeon Master method is a great intro to building compelling narratives without heavy preplanning (the “pantser” rather than “plotter” approach to novels).
Here’s an exercise: you are tasked with designing a big adventure that is easy to run/consume on a stream.
What do you do? How do you approach it? #dnd
Very much this! Especially after Baldur’s Gate underwent a massive refugee crisis and its response mirrored the real-world political dynamics that have followed such crises.
There was a review going around that talks, initially, about Baldur’s Gate being a lot darker now. There’s a logic to that in the overall plot, but it’s not just that. BG should have been seen that way for a while. (Short thread)
WOTC has been doing a good job of giving us a bunch of different environments with their adventure releases. No place is really the same.... Hell, Mega Dungeon, Urban, Jungle Sandbox...etc.
