Same. I generally make it a low intelligence character so I can roleplay them as someone who shouldn't be making major decisions, figuring out clues and puzzles, etc.

That one of the Big Book of Battle Maps series? Those are super handy!

One of the best things you can do to combat brain fog is learn new stuff to exercise your brain. There’s heaps of amazing TTRPGs that aren’t D&D; they might be just the thing to give the old coconut a boost.

I was organizing my miniatures and took a photo of the D&L giant we were discussing a few pages back:

I don't allow stats higher than 17 at 1st level for just this reason.

My initial reaction is that your application seems aggressively critical of Wizards, so I am interested in your strategy. Was this a serious application, or were you using it as a way to critique the company?

I also got around to this Wizkids "spectral cloud" I got for X-mas. One of those paint jobs where you don't know exactly what you want, the initial steps do not go well, and then you are just trying to make it okay:

The myconid sovereigns from Bones 6. Soon I'm going to have to start on the smaller miniatures from that KS...there's a lot! Or I guess I could do the two massive dragons, but I kinda wish I had an airbrush for that.
