We try so hard to avoid naps in the car unless we are intentionally traveling that I've had to start sitting in the back seat during my daughter's old nap windows just to prevent this. You get one nap a day kid, you ain't having it be 10 minutes long in the car on my watch!
Hell-oooo Quartermaster! Outside of recently posting this, progress continues on the adventure module for the Wondrous Portal of Potions. Writing for an adventure is quite different from writing potions though, so it's taking a fair bit to get done. How about you?
A DND potion named Ramulak's Fireball. This small vial is shaped after Ramulak Talindar and includes his signature thick beard and deep gray robe. Within the vial is a powerful fiery drink.
🧪 #potions: Ramulak Talindar was one of the Bythan Champions of great renown. He loved all things fire. Therefore the potion made in his honor is a danger to whoever opens it. Maybe convince that bandit to open it when he gets back to his camp... #dnd #ttrpg #5e
Maybe just from my overexposure of them in practically every form of DND content I consume and play, but mind flayers. Cool monster idea, I just fight them too often.
Hahahaha, I know nothing and feel woefully inept, but thankfully progress continues. Just didn't expect to be adding nearly 10 pages. Oh well, it's getting done. #dnd #ttrpg #5e #potions
🛠️ #WIPWednesday: Progress is quick on setting this into stone. We're sitting at 35 pages and I expect at least 5 more at a minimum to accommodate the adventure for this release, in addition to changes. #dnd #ttrpg #5e
What are you working on today?
A WIP picture of various artboards in Adobe Illustrator that are blurred. They show various pages of potions and their effects listed.
⚗️ #potions: The Wondrous Portal of Potions is finally getting put into Illustrator, so another step closer to it being completed and published. Take a look at the progress! #dnd #5e #ttrpg #magic
As common as the winds. It’s more a question of how you specialize in it.
⚗️ #potions: The d100 table of the Wondrous Portal of Potions has finally been filled out. 8 common, 25 uncommon, 33 rare, 24 very rare, and 10 legendary potions! #dnd #5e #ttrpg
This has been such a mental block that I'm so happy it's finally done. Now to write descriptions and effects!
Solarpunk is the genre that I think can truly exemplify this. Loved the kind of world you could interpret from the film Neimona, which I thought was solarpunk-lite?
But the answer is yes. Magic can become integrated into tech.
#wipwednesday: Here's a sneak peak on some new potions coming soon... What do you think they might do? #dnd #5e #ttrpg #art
A set of 6 potions, with three being intentionally blurred out.
Quartermaster! I haven't posted to one of yours in a bit, so let me fix that -- Potions! 5 more potions are getting released, but here's a sneak peak on 3 of them.
It's #WIPWednesday!
I'm constantly working on new #homebrew, or planning new videos - and digital art here and there!
How about you? What creative endeavors are in the middle of?
Let's see them!
#dnd #ttrpg #art #dndart #vtuber #AP #gaming #terrain #DungeonsAndDragons
I would love to be able to connect to some copy editor folks who are savvy with 5th edition, and potentially with balancing.
I am getting towards the serious end of the project and think that for something like this I need a second opinion on my work. #dnd #5e #editing
Who do you know?
Progress has been rapid, more than at all in the past 3 months on the Wondrous Portal of Potions (probably because I'm getting more and more art), but now I'm revisiting earlier potions as I've learned better 5e syntax and rebalancing things to actually feel powerful. Never ending loop.
Now that I’m getting back into this, here’s an update: There are 22 potions yet to be developed for the wondrous Portal of Potions, a d100 table of all new potions for you to use at your table. But there’s still more to do, mostly new ideas for potions are needed. I’ll keep you posted.
So in great news, the Wondrous Portal of Potions art is completed, and other potions are trickling in! I'd show you but I don't want to spoil things before I'm ready.
Shoutout to @bursaroo.bsky.social for the art, even though I can't share it now!
Fuck this seasonal depression. I'm gonna get back to posting.
@inkarnate.com's desktop app is dope and exactly what I've been wanting for forever. While I wish for a fully-offline version, I know that's not likely. What we have though is great, and I'm so glad they got to v2.0 release.
Not sure what I did today that made 4 of y’all find me, but hello to all my followers new and not! Have a great Christmas and a happy new year. 🎆
Short update here: My seasonal depression has definitely kicked in. I have no drive to work on my usual DND stuff. I'm sorry. I'll make things when I can get out of the funk. I hope your holidays are great. #dnd #mentalhealth
My ability to make progress on anything has slowed to an absolute crawl. Might be the seasonal depression kicking in early. No motivation or drive. But small victories in some places -- updated Yulies's potion store. | #dnd #battlemap #ttrpg
A classic DND battlemap of a two-section dungeon. Various sprawling rooms fill the picture, with different uses for each.
The @inkarnate.com Classic Battlemap style is pretty fun. Maybe I should make this into a small dungeon crawl adventure? #dnd #ttrpg #battlemap
A classic DND battlemap with 5 rooms and connecting pathways. An exit sits on the east side of the map.
#battlemap: The new Classic style for Inkarnate is amazing! I've never really used anything for that style of battlemap, but enjoy this free little map. #dnd #ttrpg #5e
An orange, princely-looking pepper with a wide grin.
#peppers🌶️: The Monstrous Peppers of Nenveria releases just in time for Christmas! And while I am by no means an artist, I have at least enjoyed learning throughout the process. These goofy (yet terrifying) pepper monsters should strike fear and fun into your players hearts! #homebrew #dnd #5e
Unsurprisingly, very little to post this week. I'll be out of town visiting with family, so expect a return to form next week. Have a great Thanksgiving! 🦃
A work-in-progress DND battlemap of the shop of Potionmaster Yulies. A main room filled with potions, another with stairs, and an area for the seller's counter and workshop in the top right.
Not the next, but the following release from Heavy's Hoard will cover the Grand Potionmaster from the Isle of Bytha, Yulies Everheart and her shop! Obviously the map is a work-in-progress but the idea is solid and coming along nicely. Expect some fun! #dnd #homebrew #5e #ttrpg
It's #SelfPromoSaturday, so it's time for the #ttrpgfamily to show me what you got.
Remember:
🔥Repost (not quote RP) this post and another of mine to increase their reach
🔥Post your goods
🔥Interact if you've got the spoons for it
🔥If you post AI stuff here, I will find you and skin you 🙃
First, you've finally given me the term I've been looking for to research this, so thanks for that!
Second, question: Does the size of the individual pieces change depending on the amount of text you type? That would save me so much time.
A potion's description and effect for the Gift of Spikes. The background is a watercolor mix of greens. A logo sits in the top right, while the rest of the frame is filled with the descriptions. It reads: GIFT OF SPIKES POTION, UNCOMMON This bottle is wrapped in mesquite tree spikes. The mixture hurts to swallow, but thankfully tastes fine. For the next 1d4 minutes, when a creature within 30 feet hits you with a melee or ranged weapon attack, you can use your reaction to fire magical spikes at the attacker. The attacker must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 1d6 piercing damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. This potion is #41 of 100 from the Wondrous Portal of Potions.
#potions⚗️: Imagine filling your games with a completely new d100 table of 100 potions, salves, mixtures and cups of cod as the Wondrous Portal of Potions grants your players fun and dangerous new powers. Check out Potion #41, the Gift of Spikes! #homebrew #dnd #5e #ttrpg
