I’m continuously clapping my hands together for my belief in fairies & Tinkerbell
I play, write for, edit articles, DM (& occasionally roll Death Saves) with my tabletop crew & at conventions for D&D
Hubby to Liz & Dog Daddy to Loki J Pup
This really cool & innovative dice tray, by Coven of Stitches is made from a repurposed book
I picked it up from Dragonmeet yesterday & I can’t explain how satisfying it is to hold it or close your dice away after a game session

A collection of clues & objects of mystery
The connection between is hard to see
Our heroes are confused & exhausted from trying
So they consult their stolen orb of scrying

I picked up these from Rogue & Bard at Dragonmeet yesterday

I’m sure we’ll meet up sometime soon
How did the Magic Item cards go?

Back from Dragonmeet UK
Totally pooped 😴
Met some wonderful people
Even got recognised by a few sellers & other visitors
Picked up some excellent deals & haul & Christmas presents
Plan to use some of the special items tomorrow
(Still couldn’t find @thewelshdm.bsky.social 🙄)

Oh come on!
Hungus has Discworld potential written all over him!

So…
After watching the most entertaining @farrantula.bsky.social be the Narrator for @sherlockhulmes.bsky.social @katiemorrison.bsky.social Tom Hazzel & Kim Richards in Discworld
The wife says “The system looks easy, we should convert the party for a Birthday one shot in Ankh Morpork?”🤔

So the countdown to a pre-Dragonmeet treat begins
Heading down to the Big Smoke for Discworld live with @farrantula.bsky.social @sherlockhulmes.bsky.social @katiemorrison.bsky.social & others tonight
Me & Mrs H are so looking forward to it 😁

The streets of Menzoberranzan are bustling all day
But through the crowds, our heroes spot Jarlaxle Baenre
Dressed like a glamorous Pirate King, in his garb & his hat
Only makes Sir Turnip seethe & declare “I will bally well see about that!”

Wow
Today marks the fifth year since our Convergence of Whispers campaign began
We don’t have the original party
We don’t have the original players
Or even the original system 😳
But much like “Trigger’s broom”, it’s our favourite campaign to date
Happy Birthday to the Platinum Accords🎂

Disguised as Drow, Duergar & a Goblin slave
Our heroes must continue to keep brave
Seeking refuge & their original target
Who knows what they will find in this Underdark market

Quite a few “poo poo” 4th Edition rules, but I was encouraged to seek out some of the sourcebooks produced by a fellow player
The Underdark (picked up at a convention Bring & Buy stall for a steal) gives a deep dive on the environment, politics, travel & of course, No AI included 🤖

Menzoberranzan, the City of Spiders
With its unique bazaars & temples with spires
Seeking refuge from the Underdark & aid in their quest
The Platinum Accords need more than a Long Rest

The summoned Demogorgon wrecks its destruction
Losing our heroes the hope of another faction
A paladin rival steps up out of their past
Her intent only to regain her weapon of past

“You mean that there was an uncontrolled rift which tore apart the fabrics that holds the other dimensions apart causing the ungodly creatures to be able to traverse into the Prime Worlds?”
“Yes, it’s true”
“Errr… that was us, wasn’t it?”
“Turnip! Shush, the lady is speaking…”

Just spent a glorious afternoon playing a #dnd game with my kid brother, @claretnblue27.bsky.social
His Viking Ranger, Sven & supporting Halfling, Mouse battled zombies, tracked orcs & even outwitted a mischievous ice sprite named Boggles ❄️

One of the most beautiful things about our current campaign is getting to revisit old books which were brought back in the early days but never played
Taking key moments, plot points & encounters, having a whole library of NPCs and an incredible BBEG
#dnd #ttrpg

From Baldur’s Gate to Winterhold
Our heroes take the well travelled road
Forward with clues, on the trail of a Drow
Where will their adventures take them now?

Not to everyone’s taste but…

Okay, so it’s coming up to our 4-year anniversary of the Convergence of Whispers campaign
(How has Sir Turnip survived? 😳)
So we are all planning an antithetic story arc to steer the campaign towards
We came across these collection of books which look very intriguing & should help

“Bobby was misunderstood by many an adventurer. His kindly attempts to ensure that his guests were free of head lice & other infestations was generally misinterpreted as an attempt to suck their brains out through their ear holes, which led to the usual shenanigans…”
