December! (Better late than never...)
It's December! It's... almost not December anymore, honestly, but we're all doing our best 😅Between PAX Unplugged and just normal human holiday stuff, I have been all over the place this month trying to get everything in place before the year ends so I can go into 2025 with a clean slate. This means you'll be getting a barrage of posts shortly (including our annual Patron survey!), and it also means that I'm only posting tw...
Designing a unique look for your D&D character
Today’s video, pending final sponsor approval! I’m scrambling to get everything done before we leave for PAX tomorrow, so this is all the caption you’re gonna get sorrryyyy
Blasphemy
As featured in tomorrow's video: Blasphemy the warlock! Originally created as a tiefling in this video, she is being represented as a human born with a fiendish mark in this week's (for reasons that are explained in the video!)I'm kind of obsessed with this "burned capelet" that I created for this look, to be honest. It took nearly three times as long to make as I had budgeted, but I think the "burn" effect (created wi...
Let’s Go on an Advent-ure!
This December, I’m hosting a special holiday event: The Advent-ure! It’s an adventure advent calendar — a choose-your-own-adventurestory that unfolds day by day in our Discord server.Here’s how it works: Every day from Dec 1 to Dec 31, I’ll post a short section of a text-based adventure in a special channel called #🌲advent-ure. Each post will end with choices for what happens next, and you get to decide the direction of the story by ...
The Black Friday weekend sale is live!
If you've been waiting to pick up anything from my shop, now is the time! From today until Monday Dec 2, everything is 20% off.Check it out!This does not stack with your Patron discount (or I'd be paying you to take some of this stuff home 😅), so that's a flat 20% off. You don't need to be in a rush for calendars or adventure books, but I think socks are close enough to selling out that one or both styles may disappear by Monda...

Never played D&D? This guide is for you
For a while now, I've been thinking that I should make a TRUE beginner's guide to D&D — not just "how to develop a personality" or "things all new players should know," but an actual breakdown of how the game is played, on a basic level. So here's that video!This is for newbies (particularly those who haven't played Actual Play or similar, the ones who truly do not know how the format of the game works!) but also...
Barbie-barian
Creating a custom Barbarian outfit from scratch for a Barbie was absolutely not necessary for this week's video, so naturally I spent five hours on it. Her sword is a letter opener I've had for like a decade.She could use some weathering, but we're not made of time around here! It'll have to wait!
Co-working stream!
Hey friends, I need to do SOMETHING to stop me from just reading comments on today's video, so I figured we could do a little productivity stream together! I've got a few things to work on, so I'll probably spend 1-2 hours just quietly working on camera. Join me if it would help you also be productive!
It is November.
Hope you're surviving. ❤️ Here is the plan for this month:Patreon-exclusive livestreamsare Saturday, November 23 at 10amand 5pmMT (click to compare to your own time zone!)

The deluxe edition once again comes with an entire dice set, created in collaboration with Die Hard Dice.Don't forget to use your Patreon discount code PATRONLOOTfor 15% off your order!
Gelatinous Cutie & Friends
While I had the Gelatinous Cutie outfit on for this week's sponsor, I figured I'd grab a few shots of her with her latest ex-boy toy — plus, a new friend who is immune to acid damage! 💚
Clean my studio with me!
Hey friends, just hopping for a quick spontaneous stream while I straighten up my studio after a few whirlwind filming days. It'll be a quiet little productivity stream. Feel free to join me and work on something alongside me!Click here to join the stream.(Or you can watch it back later at this same link if you need the co-working vibes!)
and THAT'S why I always carry a sword.
I am nervous about tomorrow's video because crafting videos can be very hit or miss on my channel, but I spent SO much time and energy on this project 😭 At least even if the video flops, my sticky new roommates will comfort me with a long grappl– I mean, a long hug!!

Each item includes description, rarity, and game mechanics to allow you to easily drop them into your games.

OSHA inspects the goblin lair
I shot three "goblin boss" shorts when I was in costume for a sponsorship last week, and here's the first one!I'm keeping these in reserve to post on social media when I have a gap to fill, so this might go up next week, or it might be longer. You guys get first looks, though! I'm also editing them one at a time because doing the voiceover is such a strain on my voice 😅 WORTH IT!
Hey, Fiends!
Great news! Despite delays with the manufacturer, we finally have the "Hey, Fiends" Halloween exclusive sweatshirt back in stock. It's a unisex design, available in sizes S through 4XL. If you missed out on it last year, now is your chance at redemption!I've also been meaning to have Josh model more of my apparel, so that male shoppers can see the clothes on a fellow dude bro guy man. So here he is, looking devilishly handsome I t...
Possessed 👻
HI, SORRY, I went way too hard on greenscreen effects for the sponsorship again and today's video is super duper late!! But it's about possession (ghostly, arcane, demonic) and it'll be out within the hour.Here's a cool edit I did for the thumbnail to tide you over!!

And don't forget to use your Patron discountfor 15% off![Get Ginniatures]Which one is your favorite? 👀
Running late? I *mite* be...
I'm afraid I can't give y'all early access to tomorrow's video because I am still finalizing part of the edit (due mostly to how long it took me to film this little green stinker for the sponsorship segment!) But I wanted to show you a little preview of Mite Bloodstink, goblin middle manager, to tide you over.See you tomorrow with a video that takes you behind my DM screen!
ICYMI – "Democracy & Dragons" stream!
In case you missed it: I was the Game Master for a livestreamed one-shot to promote voter registration with Nerds Vote! We played a short tabletop game called “Democracy and Dragons” with some incredible voice actors as players.If you’re American and haven't checked on your voter registration yet, this is a great reminder to make sure you are all prepared to vote in November! Several states have been purging voter registration recently ...

You Meet in a Tavern — NPC Encounters
This one's for those moments when players enter a tavern and say "I look around. What other customers are in here?""You Meet in a Tavern"is a collection of five (well, technically six, but one is a duo!) NPCs that your players might encounter in a tavern or inn. Each character has some interactive element, from playing a game with you, to harboring a dangerous secret you might uncover. I like these as a way to fill, say, 30 mi...

LIVE NOW: Productivity stream!
Hey friends! I have a long-ish list of 20-minute tasks to get through today and am NOT feeling super motivated, so I thought maybe we could motivate each other! Feel free to join me for some quiet co-workingover the next... 2 hours, I'm guessing?What is a Productivity Stream?This is the kind of stream where I'll engage with chat a little in between tasks, but mostly you'll just hear lofi music and the sound of my keyboard. Great for i...
DMs — Have you read the Dungeon Master's Guide?
This applies to any edition that you play — so if you play 5e, have you read the 5e DMG? If you are not a Dungeon Master, please mark "I am not a Dungeon Master" even if you've read the DMG!I've tried my best to cover all possible categories with the answers, but feel free to elaborate in the replies.

August: Conventions Galore!
Hey friends! I just got back from GenConin Indianapolis and was lucky enough to get to meet some of you face-to-face. I also debuted my new adventure book, "The Corruption of Alder Glen," which will launch for sale on my website at the beginning of September! (I was originally going to launch it right away, but I am an idiot who forgot that all my stock will need to be shipped back from Indianapolis, which takes a few weeks 😅)It's ...
