An illustration of a man in a blue jumpsuit and white crash helmet floating aloft with his arms outstretched. His face is pointed at the sky in agony (reverie?) as his mouth goes slack and his eyes glow red. Wisps of glowing red energy envelope his open palms and his legs dangle limply above the ground. Waves of energy radiate from his helmeted head. Caption: Blades in the Dark. Blades '68. Launching soon on BackerKit.

That voice in your head saying "you're not ready"? It's lying. You'll never feel 100% ready. The creators you admire shared their work when they were scared too. Courage isn't the absence of fear it's acting despite it.

Yeah, I'm thinking I'm back.

If you haven't seen the Gemmed Firefly shop, come check it out.

New: #NoKings
Classic No Kings Flag A black flag displays a simple, white three-point crown inside a red circle with a red diagonal slash, representing a prohibition symbol. A black oversized T-shirt hangs on a wooden hanger against a plain backdrop. On the back of the shirt is a bold white crown symbol crossed out with a red prohibition circle and slash. Below the shirt, the brand name "Gemmed Firefly" appears in a bold, distressed font. A black flag features a stylized yellow crown with a red prohibition symbol over it. The crown has exaggerated, graffiti-like lines with round dots on the tips, giving it an urban, painted look. Horizontal Pride D20 Flag A horizontal flag features the Progress Pride Flag in the background, with its rainbow stripes and left-facing chevron in black, brown, light blue, pink, and white. Overlaid at the center is a large white D20 die symbol, representing tabletop gaming.

My daughter will be leaving our dnd campaign after this weekend. While this does make me a bit sad, happiness is knowing that at the end of the month I'll have a grandson! #dnd

The Trump admin is fast-tracking a uranium mine in Utah by slashing the permitting process to 14 days, bypassing environmental review and cutting the public out entirely. Projects like this are supposed to go through NEPA, the law that requires environmental impact assessments and public comment.

Here's a free sword for #DnD and #Pathfinder2E just cuz I like ya. patreon.com/abyssalbrews
Disarming Sword Shortsword, rare Many duelists are known for their efficient footwork and keen movements of their blade to outmatch their enemy. Speed and finesse are as much a part of their arsenal as their blade itself. This shortsword is crafted with a basket hilt and uniquely features both a gut-hook and a second hook toward the crossguard of the blade, purpose built for catching other blades within it. You have a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magical weapon. If you are proficient with this weapon, you gain a +1 bonus to AC if you wield it in one hand with nothing in your other hand. Disarm. The lower hook on this weapon is especially adept at catching attackers off guard. If a creature that is no more than one size larger than you misses a melee weapon attack against you using a one-handed weapon, you can use your reaction to attempt to disarm them. Make a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check contested by the attacker’s Strength (Athletics) check or Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check. The attacker chooses the ability to use. If you succeed, the attacker’s weapon is pulled out of their hand and either falls to the ground or can be taken into your free hand, if you have one. Whether you succeed or fail, creatures that saw this ability are immune to it in the future. Disarming Sword ITEM 6 Disarm, Magical Price 240 gp Usage held in 1 hand; Bulk L This +1 striking shortsword is crafted with a basket hilt and uniquely features both a gut-hook and a second hook toward the crossguard of the blade, purpose built for catching other blades within it. Many duelists are known for their efficient footwork and keen movements of their blade to outmatch their enemy. Speed and finesse are as much a part of their arsenal as their blade itself. If you are at least trained with this weapon, you gain a +1 item bonus to AC if you wield it in one hand with nothing in your other hand. Activate [R] manipulate; Trigger A creature misses a strike against you made with a one-handed melee weapon; Effect You maneuver the blade to catch their attack in the hook and attempt to Disarm the creature. If the attack that triggered this reaction was a critical failure, you gain a +1 item bonus to the Athletics check made to disarm them. Once a creature has seen this trick, they are immune to future attempts to disarm them in this manner.

Foreign films are a national security threat? We’re shaking our heads. We’d laugh if this wasn’t such dangerous, authoritarian rhetoric. What other countries do this? Russia and China.

Two mockups of Blades in the Dark: Deep Cuts. On the right, the book is shown closed, with an illustration of a glowing hot tanto knife being forged. On the left, the book is rendered as open to a page titled Threat Roll. Opposite that page is a monotone black and white illustration showing a figure darting across rooftops toward a passing trolley car as a group of nearby figures fire weapons at him.
