Halp! I am sorting through a few months worth of RPG acquisitions that were gathering dust in piles and I'm getting the overwhelming feeling that Something Must Be Done.

What are the least time consuming ways of getting rid of books you nerds have been using? Getting some money for them would be ideal but I'm aware that stuff that's old/obscure/french might not be wanted here in Dublin.

‘The Well at the World’s End’ doesn’t quite do what most fantasy readers would like a novel to do, but it’s a beautifully crafted, intricate tapestry of language and imagination.

    Some time ago I decided to surprise my group with a map. I have never drawn a map (other than dungeons or battle maps) but hey, I'm an illustrator, I'm sure I can do it. So I did. The next step is to colour it but I'm proud of myself. What do you think, are they gonna like it?

    "What do you think of the timeline?"

    I inspected the length of ribbon again, curling one end onto my finger, tracing the course of events, "A little grim right here... What happened?"

    My apprentice shuffled his feet, dusting off his robes as if he hadn't heard me.

    "What did you do?" I snapped.

    "I wanted to conjure a pretty meteor shower!"

    I looked at the ribbon again, sighing, "No point wasting this orb, let's see how the mammals do..."

    Watercolors of masked ladies I did this month! The gray is graphite powder and watercolor, which adds to the textures.

    #mask #watercolor #art #fantasy #women

    A woman looking up at a mask, her arms raised. She's in teal and gold. Watercolor.
    A woman holding mask to her face, mimicking the sun. It's blue and gold watercolor.
    A quiet woman standing with masks hanging from strings. She's wearing purple and facing away from the viewer.

    I went back into 3D to figure out better lighting for the piece and stumbled on a way more dynamic angle for the pose.

    So I thought "dammit, now I really have to redo the drawing". I'm glad I did tho.

    Left: v1. Right: v2 (still WIP)

    120 — Tell us what you enjoy most about writing [insert your genre / genres]. (2/2)

    Works in the or realms are fun to write. I'm a Dungeon Master for DnD. It comes easily for me. I enjoy concocting fantastic plots with twists and turns, so many surprises along the way for us.

    Anything with elements of thrown in are a favorite. I adore the genre. It's something that I've always been in love with. Writing it feels like coming home.

    153 — As an author what role do dreams / nightmares play in your writing? (1/2)

    Credit: @NaraMoore

    I'm going to discuss , a story. Dreams are the basis for the entire story. Our two MC's are dreaming about each other and have no idea why.

    This story comes from a homebrew universe that I had created for . I love using dreams and nightmares within various stories of mine. It's incredible.
