Our upcoming game The Hearth and Harbour is fully 2D, but with some neat tricks we’ve made it look 3D. Ethan, our environment artist, did this with a special type of texture called a Normal Map. (Thread! 1/7)

"Being Alive" and "Finishing the Hat" are, in my very humble opinion, two of the greatest songs I've ever heard.

I'm not a guy who gets much out of poetry. Very rarely can lyrical content hit me so hard as those two songs can.

Any shares on this would be greatly appreciated!

DM any questions or offers & if anything sells by Tuesday, I'm sure I can have it shipped to you before XMas. Maybe Wednesday if you're on the east coast.
Someone asked me what all I am trying to sell & get rid of, and this here is a pic of all of it (I think, his collection wasn't given to me all in one piece)

I inherited all of these #DnD books & cards from a friend, and I'd like to see them find a nice #5e table. Full list is in the alt text 🎲

Hi everyone

I'm so so sorry to do this, but I've been unable to find any work and my finances have become a very heavy burden that I am struggling greatly with and it's having knock on effects with my physical health. Anything helps, even if it's just a repost:

Some fiction for the end of my players' latest session.
Heisted a dwarf mansion, slayed servants of Orcus, and freed an ancient entity. One of these days they'll get out of the Underdark. Probably.

This is still going on and it's still a great time to nab gifts for the holiday! (Apologies, still no shipping to the EU)
Hey guys! I've decided that I'm going to be closing my shop for the indeterminate future while I re-evaluate what kind of stuff I want to be making, so I'm trying to get rid of all of my old stock! Everything is 50% off and may never come back!

Daily DBZ 189-2. Vegeta hasn't gotten to do anything this whole fight, so he gets pissed and unleashes a massive storm of ki blasts. But Cell shrugs it off and smacks Vegeta into the ground. As Cell attempts to finish the job, Gohan blocks the blast with his shoulder taking a gnarly shoulder wound.
