@BrakkaENVTuber @paizo You should also consider playing the Sky King’s Tomb Adventure Path (volumes 193–195), as these explore the Quest for Sky and Taargick’s retrospect even further.

I can’t stop fucking laughing at this

[RS Archer @archer_rs]

Our gardener has just been asked to stop walking around in our garden because he is, and I quote,

"Spoiling the shot" This from a woman who is filming a video segment where she is standing at my gates claiming she is holidaying at her "summer house"

My house !!!

When ordering art for Sky King’s Tomb, I loudly swore upon all things Lost Omens: “I will not suffer an unshirtless Seltyiel in this adventure!”

[cheezeofages @NSeanchai]

I would like to let y'all know that the #pathfinder2e iconic Magus Seltyiel canonically enchants items while shirtless.

That is all.

[John Compton @Archaeotagh]

@herzwesten Nope! I don’t do murder for hire, and I can’t imagine that goose having anything other than a “collect 7 noses” fetch quest.

I told some friends, “Gotta go make a pineapple leshy with a bite attack that deals a tiny amount of persistent acid damage," only to be goaded into writing something with tiny pineapple plant people. So have the resulting flash fiction.

@NinjaCatVanessa I usually call him “Taphy-Baphy.”

Dear Teachers,

As some of you may know, if you have any students in your class who identify as Christian, they may ask to be excused from school to observe the Christian holiday of “Christmas,” more popularly referred to as Yom Christmas or Nittel.

Pathfinder 2e Pro Tip: You can always use Athletics for initiative as long as you kick down every door you see. This is a foolproof strategy, and no I will not be taking any follow-up questions.

[Flint Dibble 🍖🏺 @FlintDibble]

In his new Netflix “documentary” #AncientApocalypse, @Graham__Hancock has declared war on archaeologists

His rhetoric sows distrust in experts, and #Atlantis conspiracy theories promote white supremacy

Buckle up, it’s time for an #ARCHAEOLOGY THREAD 🧵

ATTENTION BAJORAN WORKERS. Going forward, anyone programming recreations of me in the holosuites without authorization will be sent to ore processing.

[John Compton @Archaeotagh]

@AmazonChique @NinjaCatVanessa I can make more, but to pick them up you’ll have to stop by, play board games, and collaborate in scheming awful schemes.

[John Compton @Archaeotagh]

One day, this will both delight and confound archaeologists. I approve.

[🥀_ Imposter_🥀 @Imposter_Edits]

Kinda impressed by the dedication honestly.

[ContextFall @ContextFall]

I'm noticing a trend.

@CoffeeSkuttle Geb: “Look, any arcane spellcaster worth his spicy fanfic doesn’t have to wear a shirt”

Seltyiel (now wearing a shirt in most art): *surprised pikachu*

Made a motivational poster for spawning salmon😌

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we thought it’d be fun to have some of our staff, freelancers, and members of the community write up some magic items inspired by their background and culture to put into your games!

Though to be clear, in a #ttrpg, this situation would lead to most characters setting fire to the whole area, picking a fight with a parking meter, and calling it a “creative solution”
