Don’t worry, I gotchu

A collage that reads, in a pink handwritten font at the top, Wynni’s Inspo. It contains background images layered the length of the image of blue flaked glitter, an underwater rock formation forming a heart with the sun shining through the water behind it, a chalk board with chemistry structural formulae on it, and red glittery fabric. Over the background images are clip art images of an adventurous girl in a sun hat with a magnifying glass, steam punk goggles, anthropomorphized jars of peanut butter and jelly, a sticker reading “BFF” with an exclamation mark with a heart at the bottom, multicolored chemistry flasks, a stack of books, a silhouette of two femme figures sitting and reaching over their heads with opposing arms to form a heart with their hands, a multicolor beaded bracelet that has beads reading “bestie”, a photo of a sharks tooth, a sign reading “manatee crossing” with an image of a manatee on it, a sticker reading “explore more in”, a heart shape made of red glitter, a single blue chemistry flask, and a photo of a frozen red colored drink piled high in a martini glass with a straw sticking out of it

I’m so sorry, I know what you mean but the implication of clerics not deserving beautiful dice is sending me

LOOK AT MY GIRL’S DICE!!! Jenn CRUSHED this (and also the unhinged mood board).

Long Dog Dice @longdogdice.com · 4d

It's your best friend, the alchemical artificer Wynni! @evaserrate.bsky.social sent me what could only be described as an unhinged yet perfect mood board collage to go off of.

Shimmery teal mixed with an unholy amount of red foil. Is the foil red drink? Chaos tonic? An homage to Kurtulmak? Yes!

Character art of Wynni by Mikyl Sandoval. She is a teal green sea elf with darker teal hair in high pigtails. She has an absurd number of pouches and belts with an equally absurd number of vials of colored liquids.

A 7 piece dice set arranged on a mirror against a white background. The dice are shimmery teal green mixed with so much red foil it is its own solid mass. The numbers are inked in copper.

Close up of the d20 from the dice set in the previous photo.

Horizon's Call sets sail again NOW (3pm PT / 6pm ET)!
The crew have made port which means things are getting *weird*.
So far we have: a sketchy tattoo, drinking too much and v*miting into a bag of holding, making a deal with a devil, and wildshaping into a spy-cat

Horizon's Call is back TODAY at 3pm PT / 6pm ET!
The crew have anchored at port again which is typically when they get really weird with their RP choices. So join us for upsetting phrases like "Do you lock your door at night?.. Good." and oh, so much more!

Two things are true:
1. This is supposed to be a 2-part game series
2. The subtitle for this game is "Flesh & Tech"

These facts seem to contradict one another...
