For your use, free of charge, I will put out all of Act 1 of 3 for FEAR AND LOATHING. I will keep you updated on the patreon where we are in the process and put out the rest of the adventure. Now I got some writing to do!

DeLander @delander.bsky.social · 22d

Okay! It's down to the wire! The update is a bit of a disappointment for me. The entire adventure of "Fear and Loathing" will not be ready for Oct 1st. Life, children, tech issues, the works. BUT WE STILL HAVE SOMETHING!

Birch Queen, walker of Autumn, herald of Winter. Had a lot of fun with this one!

An elegant Black woman, draped in a cape of yellow birch leaves, dressed in a gown made of paper birch bark. She stands in a forest of birch trees holding a staff with a glowing white orb at the top, snow swirling from it.

In traditional folklore, Redcaps would hold a pikestaff in their left hand. I love that attention to detail in this model.
#dnd #dungeonsanddragons #minis #minipainting

A custom painted miniature of a Redcap. He has ruddy skin, red eyes, and thick white eyebrows, mustache, beard, and hair. He is wearing a tan, sleeveless tunic, brown pants, and brown leather bracers. His oversized red hat hangs down to his waist in both the front and the back, and he wears massive iron boots. His belt is fastened with a metal ring. He is snarling and stepping back slightly, a pikestaff held upright in his left hand. Blood splatters coat his pike blade, boots, and the ground.

Naiads and Nereids are nature spirits of freshwater and seawater respectively. Given the net that is part of her minimal outfit, I'm inclined to say this one is a Nereid. A deceptively simple paint job!
#dnd #dungeonsanddragons #minis #minipainting

A custom painted miniature of a Nereid. Her body is blue-tinted and translucent, with white eyes, pointed ears, and long, slicked back hair. Scraps of net and vegetation are loosely wrapped around her otherwise bare body. She is stepping across water, her hands gesturing conversationally.

The cliffs above Cragwatch are alive with wings, claws, and teeth. Dire bats, the symbol of Bat Country, strike with unnatural boldness. Can your party face the deadly night, survive the hunt, and uncover what drives the predators? #ttrpg #5e #homebrew #gamedesign #Metallands #dungeonsanddragons

DeLander @delander.bsky.social · Sep 4

In Fear and Loathing, a 5e one-shot set in the Metallands, the frontier town of Cragwatch is besieged by dire bats—the national symbol turned predator. As the sun falls, the hunt begins. Can the PCs endure Bat Country’s night of dread, blood, and wings? #ttrpg #5e #homebrew #gamedesign #Metallands

When designing the Revenant Fighter, the primary focus was on survivability. But while they never died, they were almost completely reactive. It needed a change.

Do you prefer classes that stay
consistent, or ones that can change tactics?

On this date in 1969, the Birmingham band known as Earth announced onstage that they were changing their name to Black Sabbath.

The setlist that night featured NIB, The Wizard, Black Sabbath, and Warning.

I've always liked this scene, because it reaffirms the idea that heavy metal is nerdy.
