Ubaid's Eclipse

Ubaid’s Eclipse

Art by Ryan Bittner (@ryanhappytree); Filter by me using Snapseed Ubaid held the blazing weapon casually, oblivious to the scalding heat in the tang. His attention was glued to the surprising weight of the axe in his other hand. The edge glowed as brightly as the flaming sword, but with a cool and comforting presence. He explored the pair’s heft with arcs and thrusts against constellations and…

Vignette: The Cycle

A vignette inspired by a character sketch on my Instagram feed. Broderic felt the warmth of the campfire on his face though his milky eyes no longer saw the dancing flames in the traditional sense. He shifted to position his scaled shoulder toward the heat. The day wasn’t a problem, well, this one aspect of his change wasn’t a problem, but when the Sun set, his body couldn’t compensate for the…

Breaking out the Campaign Creator from @shieldicestudio to see how our monk arrived in Worivat and rolled a d6. Yes. Worivat is a port with docks. Brilliant. Ok, maybe I need to do some background generation on the monk specifically. Like, you know, deciding on a name. . . . #playing #cards #playingcardsart #playingcardstagram #fouragainstdarkness #4AD #solorpg #rpgsolo #diebytheswordsolorpg #alwayssoloneveralone #mindfulgaming #recreationaltherapy #ttrpg #tabletopgaming #ipreview via @preview.app https://www.instagram.com/p/CTAJYoLF5SS/?utm_medium=tumblr

Beads, buttons, and a dab of glue. Easy generic tokens for vermin or minions. I wonder if Battleship pegs will fit in those holes. Maybe that could be useful to further differentiate baddies. . . . #craftingonabudget #crafting #createsomething #rpgtokens #tabletoptokens #solorpg #rpgsolo #diebytheswordsolorpg #alwayssoloneveralone #mindfulgaming #recreationaltherapy #ttrpg #tabletopgaming https://www.instagram.com/p/CS62sYzH2we/?utm_medium=tumblr

Sometimes you just gotta look through your hoard to see what the hell you've actually got.

Sharpie fixes everything, right? Don't look to closely at the edges of the white text and everything will be fine. I bet that as slow as the ink is drying, I'll have to hit it with some clear, matte spray to protect it. . . . #craftingonabudget #crafting #createsomething #dicegoblin #mathrocks #solorpg #rpgsolo #diebytheswordsolorpg #alwayssoloneveralone #mindfulgaming #recreationaltherapy #ttrpg #tabletopgaming https://www.instagram.com/p/CSzK_WKHQlu/?utm_medium=tumblr

It feels solid with the extra weight of the duct tape. It is also absurdly shiny now, too. Maybe some clear, matte spraypaint will tone that down? Maybe this is the most complicated simple solution? Maybe I just had fun experimenting and seeing what would work? . . . #craftingonabudget #crafting #createsomething #fouragainstdarkness #4ad #solorpg #rpgsolo #diebytheswordsolorpg #alwayssoloneveralone #mindfulgaming #recreationaltherapy #ttrpg #tabletopgaming https://www.instagram.com/p/CSwtm4_F9wI/?utm_medium=tumblr

Added sone duct gape to make the clipboards look less clipboard-y.

The idea is with five on one side and nine on the other, I can slide the beads to count up to 59. No idea if this is too much, too little, or Goldilocks.

Crafting day for all the little projects running through my head! I want to try reducing some of the recordkeeping for numbers of minions and boss HP during play. Setting up some skull and heart beads like a tallying abacus is worth a try. . . . #craftingonabudget #crafting #createsomething #solorpg #diebytheswordsolorpg #alwayssoloneveralone #mindfulgaming #recreationaltherapy #ttrpg #tabletopgaming https://www.instagram.com/p/CSrnoqXlEif/?utm_medium=tumblr

Got all the cards digitized with a makeshift coordinate grid as these #pocketlands grow. I wonder how large this land mass will get? Or maybe it's wiser for now to have Hyrule-esque clouds around the border? . . . #playing #cards #playingcardsart #playingcardstagram #fantasycartography #worldbuilding #solorpg #rpgsolo #diebytheswordsolorpg #alwayssoloneveralone #mindfulgaming #recreationaltherapy #ttrpg #tabletopgaming https://www.instagram.com/p/CSo2aNgnvgW/?utm_medium=tumblr

Step 2 - Define the known region. I put the #pocketlands cards picked for Worivat back out on the table and planned to expand the known starting area. There are mountains to the NE, so it made sense that the monk could have taken a hike to see a few cards away. Without specifying the scale of each square, I arbitrarily chose to go two cards out in all directions. Having decided that the monk arrived at Worivat via boat, I drew cards west until I had an entire column of ocean laid out. . . . #playing #cards #playingcardsart #playingcardstagram #fantasycartography #worldbuilding #solorpg #rpgsolo #diebytheswordsolorpg #alwayssoloneveralone #mindfulgaming #recreationaltherapy #ttrpg #tabletopgaming https://www.instagram.com/p/CSmQbZWHF4o/?utm_medium=tumblr

I've had a goal to make a larger land mass with #pocketlands cards pretty much since @alexeyaparin introduced them. With the "founding" of Worivat, and knowing that my monk will have cross an ocean already, now's the time to figure it out. Step 1 - turn all these suckers digital. . . . #playing #cards #playingcardsart #playingcardstagram #fantasycartography #worldbuilding #solorpg #rpgsolo #diebytheswordsolorpg #alwayssoloneveralone #mindfulgaming #recreationaltherapy #ttrpg #tabletopgaming https://www.instagram.com/p/CSkC_8vF7eF/?utm_medium=tumblr

Thanks to @dicemakers more weapon dice arrived! Even with the custom request for colors, they showed up in a reasonable time and now I need to throw these at some goblins! . . . #dicegoblin #mathrocks #solorpg #rpgsolo #diebytheswordsolorpg #alwayssoloneveralone #mindfulgaming #recreationaltherapy #ttrpg #tabletopgaming https://www.instagram.com/p/CShfpJ1Fdxh/?utm_medium=tumblr

First time fully using the writing station! First time using Journey! I stumbled around the format at first, but after a read through of the sample it all made much more sense. It felt like enough to only explore Worivat's "district" of Wildsprawl for tonight. . . . #rpgjournal #rpgbujo #handwritten #handdrawing #fantasywriter #fantasywriterofinstagram #fantasycartography #worldbuilding #solorpg #rpgsolo #diebytheswordsolorpg #alwayssoloneveralone #mindfulgaming #recreationaltherapy #ttrpg #tabletopgaming #journeyrpg https://www.instagram.com/p/CSelkhmnuC4/?utm_medium=tumblr
