I had to Google this since I don’t know anything about anime. Vampire was published in 1983, and animated in 1985. English version wasn’t until 2005.

Santa Cruz introduced their Screaming Hand in 1985.

I wonder if one influenced the other.

Drinking my coffee. Prepping for some D&D. And then the inspiration hits me:

My crawling claws need a bite attack.

PSA for those of you about to run some analogue D&D tonight with a Chessex battle mat:

All wet-dry markers are NOT created equal. To avoid staining, be sure you use the correct type.

Stained mat? Fear not. Reach out to your local pot head for whatever they clean their bong with. It works.

Please send a party out to the Wizard of Wines for a barrel of Purple Grapemash No. 3. My children need wine.

Still only does 1d4 + Strength modifier. She can add her proficiency to the attack roll since she's a tavern brawler.

Okay, just watched the John Oliver episode on Twitter. That temptation has been thwarted. Gross.

A scene from The Tick animated series, in which the titular hero is attacked by a villain known as Handy - a sentient hand puppet with a human animal companion.

A scene from The Tick animated series, in which the titular hero is attacked by a villain known as Handy - a sentient hand puppet with a human animal companion.

So how would this fit into my D&D game? A Bard who uses a hand puppet as their spellcasting focus? Or a sentient hand puppet Wizard with a human familiar? Where is Jeremy Crawford when you need him?

Fun bit of trivia: much like Handy, Crawford’s evil catchphrase was also β€œREAD A BOOK!”

Don’t get me wrong: dressing up as your D&D character on game night is cool and all. But this is the hero we need.

New D&D house rule: Roll a Nat 1? Blindfold on. Shoes off. Walk barefoot across a kitchen floor covered in d4s.

Every once in a while, I'm tempted to go back to Twitter for like, a minute, just to see what the D&D content looks over there.

What's the DC on disarming the trap to avoid being blinded?

Deeper context into the image: Everyone poops, yes. But everyone does NOT poop wherever they want.

Such f*cking b*llsh*t.
