Artemisia & Barbie-barian Wallpapers

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's... it's late girl!! She's late at stuff!

Anyway, here are May's (holy shit) wallpapers. I didn't do a ton of shoots in May, but I did finally salvage a few shots of Artemisia, so that's nice at least!

How to make loot matter

This is coming out tomorrow! We're talking about how to make loot more than just a tabletop accounting game.

Not one of my most exciting videos, haha! But hopefully it'll give you some food for thought. I have some more cutting edge stuff on the horizon!

The Princess

I've started getting the first few photos back from husband and wife duo Dillon & Ellie Richardson, who are photographing my 2023 calendar, and I am LOSING IT. I can't believe how epic and atmospheric these photos of my prin...

Personal Update

TW: death

As many of you know, I was already going to be absent this week due to my wedding on the 23rd. Unfortunately yesterday morning, Josh's mother passed away after a surprising and sudden hospitalization over the weekend.

I was already behind on Patreon rewards due to wedding prep, and this is of course going to require additional time. I'm sure you all understand tha...

I cosplayed Fresh Cut Grass as a pin-up girl

...okay, I know I JUST made a post saying this might not even be done for tomorrow, but I powered through! This is tomorrow's video: A little hybrid cosplay build log / behind the scenes / music video all about my vintage Fresh Cut Grass pin-up girl look. This was a nice little palate cleanser since I've been doing nothing but D&D advice for like 6 straight months. Hope you enjoy!

Fresh Cut(e) Grass

HI! I'm still working on tomorrow's video edit. In fact, it might turn into Thursday's video edit 😅 BUT! I had to edit these photos for the video, so I figured I'd share them with you, at least! I figured since I'm not doing pin-ups for this year's calendar, I might as well get the impulse out elsewhere.

I'm calling these: Flat Tire, Fresh Cut Grass, a...

7 things ALL first-time D&D players need to know

UGH! I'm sorry, this is literally going up in half an hour, so it's a big stretch to call this "early access," but I had D&D last night and I am the MAIN reason we haven't played in a few weeks, so I had to prioritize our mission to save the world from the machinations of the Lord of Glass over getting this video uploaded and set up.

But it's here now!! Sorry, I'll do better next week...

I was in a thing I can’t tell you about yet!

Hey friends! Immediately after getting back from my cousin’s wedding, I hopped back on a plane for a last-minute gig that I can’t tell you about yet (but you’ll know next month! And no, it’s not Critical Role! 😅)

Here are… literally the only photos I took that I can show you! Including one of my wonder at the United airport lounge’s free food & drinks, which we had two ...

"Casting a Spell" — Rulebook Rock mp3

And finally, the last of the three new songs I'm releasing for the Rulebook Rock EP in July! I won't be creating music videos for these, but they'll be distributed to streaming platforms.

Rulebook Rock is inspired by Schoolhouse Rock, an educational children's musical program from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. This particular song is based on 2022-06-28 16:00:06 +0000 UTC View Post

9 things D&D players wish DMs did

This week's video! This one and the least one are basically returns to the type of videos I was making last year, before I started going so hard on costumed segments and stuff. As much as I like doing those bigger productions, my recent burnout has been teaching me that I need to have a balance between lower-scale productions and those more complex videos. So here's a good ol' ordered list!

Her Majesty

...so I got the throne 😅 

Some of you may have seen on Instagram that I found this absolutely wild wooden throne on Craigslist! After much hemming and hawing, I finally gave in and bought it. Naturally I had to make use of it immediately (and in an ad, so it can start paying itself off... haha!) so I snapped a few photos of this royal character from this week's upcoming video.

hi! not dead

I feel like I used to post a lot more general behind-the-scenes stuff, and lately I've been so overwhelmed that I've kind of stopped! I'm working on an edit for a video that took me more than two weeks to film (oof!) and just wanted to give you a little peek behind the curtain.

This is Adobe Premiere, where I edit all my video. What you see in the lower right here (the timeline) is a fini...

Reward Tier Changes!

The Explanation

Hey friends! I really didn't want to be making major reward tier changes this soon after the February update. Unfortunately, I'm making these changes based on my own mental health. I overestimated my capacity, and I hate not delivering on what I've promised you all. Starting July 1, I will be:
