Hey friends! If you pledged $5 or more during my Special Offer period last month to get a winter Aisling postcard, this weekend is your last chance to make sure I have your address! Postcards are going out in the mail at the beginning of next week. If I don't have your address by Monday morning, I'm going to assume you don't want to receive a postcard.
To provide your address, vi...

It's January, the beginning of a bright new year! I'm kicking off 2021 with a music video parody I wrote nearly two years ago (February 2019!) which means that the rewards for this month will be all themed around Nott and Veth from Critical Role.
That also means that this month's rewards will be big big spoilers for C2E49 — aka the epis...

After my "10 tips for being a less selfish roleplayer" was so well-received on YouTube, I got a lot of requests to do a sister video with advice for quieter roleplayers on how to be more involved. Hope this helps those of you who struggle to speak up during sessions!
(Also, this might be my favorite sponsorship segment yet... let's see if Skillshare approves it, haha!)

Here's my very first Patron-exclusive commentary video! This one is for Carol of the Spells, my 2020 Christmas music video.
Let me know what you think about this! It's my first time doing a commentary video, so I'm open to feedback on how to make it more interesting and fun!

In response to some of the challenges presented by the previous Patron Spotlight system, I revamped the idea in a way that’s easier for everyone and provides the opportunity to shine the spotlight on more Patrons!
Each month, I will release a small gallery of your submissions from the previous month as a Patreon post. As with the previous spotlights, this gallery will be open t...

Our very first Patron Choir project is finished!!
This little carol was compiled from the voices of more than a dozen Patrons, each recorded in their own homes and then mixed together into a long-distance choir. I kept it short because I didn't want us to bite off more than we could chew for our first project... but now I wish it were ten times as long, because we sound s...

Here's the full Winter Aisling gallery from this weekend's shoot! To be TOTALLY honest, I don't think I'm vibing with the black roots... I literally ordered this wig over two months ago and I just cannot remember what I was thinking getting a wig with black roots. (Maybe I wasn't paying attention??) Anyway, that'll probably change in future Winter Aisling versions.

Hey friends! We'll be doing our monthly update streams on Monday, December 21. I know it sucks to have it on a weekday!

I made sure to take some extremely cheesy, warm-toned beauty shots for my new POV character Edith, like she would've wanted! I imagine her going into whatever the medieval fantasy equivalent of a portrait place in a strip mall where someone else does your makeup.
