3 mushroom enemies for DnD on a square grid playmate. They model itself is extremely phallic looking, but the painted minis look appropriately like mushrooms. They have orange brown caps with spots and dirty off-white stems. They're surrounded by smaller mushrooms if similar coloring. The stems are particularly well done, and have the striated, faintly brown vertical textures that real mushrooms often have.

I made some more things!
Printed these guys out a few weeks back and now they're painted!
I'm happy to say that I have avoided the most phallic appearances and would be happy to put these on my gaming table.

@jordan awesome!

So, uh, the Front Range in Colorado is expecting to hit the mid to upper 80s for the next week and stay there for at least 8 days.
In March.
The average high is 50.
There's a chance we hit 90s.

Beans the owl is now sitting on someone's hand in a meeting room. He has a small leather tie attached to his leg which is also wrapped around the hand's pinky. He is looking inquisitively at something to the top right of the camera

Beans on a hand, for scale reference. He is just too darn cute

#BakedBeansOwl #owl #owls #screechowl

A similar image to the previous one, but now Beans is looking to the right (away from the person whose arm he's sitting on) presumably towards the baby penguins. He still looks like the most offended owl in the whole universe. His ear tufts are straight up and he's leaning slightly backwards, away from the chicks down the hall.

Y'all, #BakedBeansOwl is still so angry. How dare those penguin chicks come in and be cute?!?!?

$#@!#% the DM has crit 6 times in the last 1.5 rounds.
4 of those crits were on me. One of those did 140 damage to me

Okay time to stab the DM in his sleep.
"You just hit me with 3 crits in a row!"
"Technically it was 2 crits because you redirected one of them"

I know you said you're not searching for pity, but I wanted to offer hugs just cause. Every day is a good day to hug someone.

A top-down view of two charcoal grey penguin chicks sitting in the corner of their pen. The floor of the pen is covered in a fluffy blue towel with a bit of bird poo on it. There's a clean bowl of water available. The chicks are both looking out through the glass walls. They are adorable and incredibly fluffy looking, each about the size of a large mango. They have black beaks and eyes, and we can see one foot peaking out from underneath the sitting one, displaying light grey toes with black talons. The other chick is laying on its stomach looking out..

Here's a picture of the offending penguin chicks.

A 10-inch tall screech owl perched on his handler's glove. He looks so incredibly upset. His ear feathers are sticking straight up, his face feathers are all sticky out, to the point that his head looks as big as the rest of his body. He's glaring daggers at the camera as if it has insulted him in the most egregious way known on this earth.

I love it.

Cool History Fact of the night

Before woodblock printing (which was extensively used in China well before the west), there was a very clever, effective way to mass-reproduce the most important texts.

Hey friends.
I'm going to be spending a day at #SteamboatSprings later this month. I've never been there before. What are your recommendations for what I should see, do, or eat?

A landscape showing a beautiful winter day on the ski slope. The sky takes up most of the image and transitions quickly from a pale blue at the horizon to a deep intense blue at the top. In the forefront is a wide groomed ski run that stretches far beyond both sides of the image. A bit of a ways off on each side of the slope pine trees stand tall carrying a load of snow. The branches and snow make the trees look like they are alternating lines of white and black formed into a messy pyramid shape. In the very far distance you can see another mountain range with 3 peaks, also covered by snow and trees. You can tell it's extremely windy on those peaks because enormous diffuse clouds of snow whipped up by the wind form a haze downwind of the peaks.

Hey folks.
It's real pretty out there.

The deck was 2.5 inches tall unsleeved.
This was the first deck I ever bought singles for (like Sporesower […]

3 mushroom-shaped minis on a dirty painting paper towel. They have a base coat of paint on them making them a very light tan color. They are exceedingly phallic-shaped, with a thick bulging stem and a rounded, close-tucked head that flares down to cover the stems slightly. The head has divots in it like spots, and the base is surrounded by a bushy growth of other small mushrooms.

My reference photo. It's two beautiful tan and cream colored mushrooms. Their stems are kind of chubby rounded and their tops are unbrella-shaped. The tops are a beautiful light brown, the color of fresh-baked bread or caramelized sugar.

Starting to paint my next batch of minis. They're mushroom-themed.
I am going to try my absolute darndest to get these to look like the reference photo I picked, because anything less than perfect and....
Well, let's just say we're not playing that kind of game […]
