HECATE’S CAULDRON (1981)
Acrylic on Illustration Board - 27” x 15”

What is the goddess of all witches tossing into her brew on a cover for this horror anthology? 1/3

An enchantress drops ingredients—which happen to be tiny men—into a smoking cauldron. She wears black robes trimmed in red with the front open to expose skin to below her navel. Her long hair is raven black and her skin is red illuminated by the fire. Both beautiful and frightening, she casts her gaze at the audience as wafts of smoke curl around her. She stirs her cauldron with what appears to be a human femur that has dissolved at the end nearest her witches brew. Her nails are like talons, the only ugly thing about her.

I refused to accept this as canon in my childhood and I refuse it now

Gimme a line where Gruntilda complains that “they even refused to use my title for the game”

Even as a teenager I remember being annoyed that 1000 damage to face and 8000 damage to face were mechanically identical. Realising little (what I now call) Mulldrifters were king in this game was a big shift

Also forced topping is always broken

It’s a bit Promised Neverland, a bit Shaman King, a bit vanilla. Solid first chapter from #GunrunEgg but it’s definitely not near the top of the magazine and really not leaving itself any room for a quality dip.

For YouTube you can at least do a metrics comparison for non-desktop users (or just revenue) since the change was adblockers (EasyList specifically) changing how they worked

Sometimes I wake up and my commenters remind me why I keep doing this.

It’s because they’re IDIOTS and THEY NEED TO LEARN

My favourite part of videos is sneaking custom cards in; followed only by creating weird alt frames or arts

Him talking about finding spaces to hide from people because of it was devastating.

Playing DND with 9 year
olds comes in two flavors

1. Trying to find ways to
resolve things and make the Zombie our friend

2. Doing things that are
recognized as war crimes

I didn’t make a conscious choice to be “the guy who loves commons/uncommons and hates rares/mythics” but that does seem to be my brand and honestly I’m okay with that

Mostly because Mister Negative hypers need to be STOPPED

Panel 1: Top-down-ish perspective of Shen pushing his shopping cart into a checkout aisle. He is looking up at a sign attached to the aisle, that reads "EXPRESS LANE - 12 ITEMS OR LESS"

Panel 2: Shen picks up two bags of carrots in his shopping cart, saying "Aw jeez. The carrots are in two bags, so I think I technically have 13 items."

Panel 3: Shen rubs the back of his head, smiling with a twinge of nervousness but also clearly accepting the situation. He says "ah, well, I'm sure they'll understand..."

Panel 4: Shen is blindfolded and on his knees in front of the wall in the parking lot behind the store, with his hands tied behind his back. The cashier, still in apron, is pointing a rifle at him.
