How to transform into an orc (or tiefling, or other colorful fantasy hottie)

HI! Here's this week's video! After a million years and many requests, I have finally created an updated body paint tutorial video. I've learned a lot since I did my Jester video, so I wanted to share some of that new knowledge.

It's 1:00am when I'm writing this, so I'm leaving captions & video description/index for tomorrow, at which point I might also adjust this thumbnail and the t...

Our second character sheet features somebody that some of you already have a stat block for — but here it is with full backstory context and level notes! Elliwyn's character sheet includes:

Pick Elliwyn's last name!

ELLIWYN NEEDS A LAST NAME! I thought it might be fun to choose it as a group, so I took suggestions (haphazardly, with no warning) on Discord and now I'm putting it to a vote!

Elli is a half-elf (elf mother, human father — but she could easily have taken her family name from either side.) If you want to try out the last name in your head with another family member name, her brother's na...

Duplicity!

Pretty sure "being Jester with Jester" was the pinnacle of my existence on this earth. It's all downhill from here 😂 ⁠

In case you missed it, Critical Role posted a video for their 7 year anniversary today and I AM IN IT! A few weeks ago I brought a bunch of my extra Jester costumi...

How to fix a too-easy D&D encounter FAST

I feel like I say this every week, but... this one definitely ended up being more labor intensive than I planned. But that's just because I'm such a slut for atmospheric special effects 😅

I could probably spend another FULL day working on color editing and sound mixing for this, but I'm letting it go and doing some deep breathing, haha. 2022-03-16 04:47:57 +0000 UTC View Post

Productivity Stream — Starting soon!

Hey everyone! Working on some scripts and designs today, so I thought we could do another co-working/productivity stream! Come join us on YouTube in about ten minutes for some quiet work time so we can all hold each other accountable and get some work done.

EDIT: New link! Sorry!! I messed it up!!

The key to better D&D? Roll less.

I know, I know, this is a weird thing for a dice goblin to suggest... but I think calling for fewer dice rolls in D&D is the path to a better game. Check it out on YouTube!

Sporty Tiefling

Added a color to my tiefling rainbow yesterday for an upcoming Instagram ad! She's on the varsity Fireball team at her school.

This was my first time doing purple paint and I learned a lot about what to do differently next time! (Also this is what I destroyed Josh's shirt for.)

Hang out with me while I dye my hair!

HELLO! In a desperate attempt to squeeze in one more livestream before February dies, I thought I'd try doing a little stream while I refresh my hair color! It starts in 5 minutes!

I'm happy to answer questions about how I do my hair, but I expect that we'll also just do a bunch of general Q&A and chatting. Make sure to 2022-02-27 22:14:29 +0000 UTC View Post

Edith previews!

HELLO FRIENDS! I'm so excited to share a preview of the very first batch of new mailed Di-ety rewards: The Edith sticker sheet and enamel pin!

These rewards will mail out in March (a bit later than what we hope will be our usual schedule — it's looking like mid-March, due to a few delays), at which point they will also become available for purchase in Club Di View Post

Just a few centaurettes!!

Editing up some old photos real quick because I'm trying to do color-themed Instagram rows and I just have NO red to go with Augury this week 😅 Thought I'd share these shots from a quick portrait shoot I did to promote the Centaur of Attention Kickstarter a lifetime ago!

Which one is your fav? I can't decide which one to put first on Instagram 🤔

Gooood time zone to you! This week, Steal This Side Quest continues with a brand new quest from Augury!

The underused DM tip that will make players obsessed with your game

It's time to talk about why so many Dungeon Masters are afraid of letting their D&D players use the features they've chosen for their characters! Character abilities are part of Dungeons & Dragons — so why do so many game masters feel threatened by them? In this week's video, we talk about the "shoot your monks" prin...
