I just walked into the mess room to hear the middle of a “Wife Bad, Jordan Peterson Good” conversation. And people wonder why I don’t like any of the people I work with! Here’s a tip; if you don’t like your partner, you can just leave! They probably don’t like you either. Heteros are an odd sort

Dice a Day Every day a new die from my collection #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Seventy-Seven A pinkish d8 with some silvery swirls to add character. It’s got very rounded sides which is something tolerable with plastic dice but absolutely horrible with my preferred metal sets.

Dice a Day Every day a new die from my collection #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Seventy-Six A sparkly orange d8 with a unicorn to make the 8! Part of a really colourful set that is full of fun & whimsy

Dice a Day Every day a new die from my collection #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Seventy-Five A black d4 with clear gold numbering. The soft rounded edges lessen the risk of serous injury but do not remove it entirely; I’d still rather not stand on this.

Dice a Day Every day a new die from my collection #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Seventy-Four One of my absolute favourites, a bronze-coloured metal d20 with an 8-bit display style numbering, the details picked out in black. It’s heavy to roll, easy to read, & the scratches add so much history & character.

Dice a Day Every day a new die from my collection #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Seventy-Three A red & blue d6 with silver speckles included, perhaps some sort of fudge die? I believe it came in a mishmash or random dice. I don’t have a use for it, but it does look rather snazzy.

Dice a Day Every day a new die from my collection #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Seventy-Two A very basic d20 today, mostly a pinkish red with glimmery swirls to give it some shine. It’s nothing fancy, but I’ll get the job done.

Dice a Day Every day a new die from my collection #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Seventy-One Another blue spherical d6, showing the 6 face that has two swords highlighted in silver, as are all the other numbers & the edges between them. It’s one of my favourite sets, & I really wish I had a full RPG set

Share and Enjoy!

Dice a Day Every day a new die from my collection #Dice #TTRPG #DnD A 12 sided something; black with gold inking. It’s got 3 +, 3 -, and 3 blank faces. I have absolutely no idea what it might be for.

Dice a Day Every day a new die from my collection #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Sixty-Nine A black d6 but without numbers. Instead it shows two people, one bent forward on their knees, the other giving them a gentle massage to ease their aching hips. I have no idea what this die could possibly be for…

Dice a Day Every day a new die from my collection #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Sixty-Eight A bronze & black coloured d%, the blacks so dark that the encircled numbers really pop & stand clear. The numbers don’t come up directly from the surface of the die, but at an angle to follow the plane of the sides

Dice a Day Every day a new die from my collection #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Sixty-Seven I’m back from holiday with a creamy d20 with gold numbering. There’s just enough contrast for it to be easily legible. The swirls give it a lovely sense of depth.

All the little angels rise up, rise up. All the little angels rise up high! How do they rise up, rise up, rise up? How do they rise up, rise up high? They rise heads up, heads up, heads up, They rise heads up, heads up high!

Dice a Day Every day a new die from my collection #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Sixty-Six A spherical blue d6 with silver numbering & a slight hint of silver between the sides, badly painted by me. I thought I’d ordered a full RPG set, but I messed up & ordered too many d6s. I still love this set though!

Dice a Day Every day a new die from my collection #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Sixty-Five A simple metal d8 that looks far more golden and sparkly in the photo than it ever did IRL. I promise it’s not really that green!

What about photos of cats? Do people like photos of cats?

Dice a Day Every day a new die from my collection #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Sixty-Four A metal d20 with a little bit of ware on the corners that give it some character. It’s a lovely die, although I think it would benefit from a little more contrast for the numbers. It’s very weighty, roll with care!

Dice a Day Every day a new die from my collection #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Sixty-Three Something special today, a completely blank white d20. I would love to give this to a player & have them roll it, then ask them what result they think they deserve. Not what they want or need, but deserve. I’m evil!

Dice a Day Every day a new die from my collection #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Sixty-Two A slightly off-white d10 with rounded edges and very clear high-contrast numbering.

Dice a Day Every day a new die from my collection #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Sixty-One A blue d12,with some rather grubby yellow numbering.

Dice a Day Every day a new die from my collection #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Sixty A metal d20 from one of my favourite sets. The deep black gives the sense that the die may be hollow, a delicate shell of copper, but in the hand it is solid & heavy, and oh so satisfying to roll.

Dice a Day Every day a new die from my collection #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Fifty-Nine Another simple plastic die, a nice blue d% with gold numbering that stands out clearly.

Dice a Day Every day a new die from my collection #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Fifty-Eight An ivory coloured d12 with simple black numbering. I have a feeling this set would work work well for a Wild West themed character or campaign

I just accidentally discovered that you can indent a bullet list, checklist etc in iOS (or at least the notes app) simply by swiping on the line you want indented. This is an absolute game changer!

Dice a Day Every day a new die from my collection #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Fifty-Seven A translucent d8 with white numbering. I love how this photo came out; the light bouncing around & spilling onto the backdrop as well as creating aces & defections inside is something special

Dice a Day Every day a new die from my collection #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Fifty-Six An orange d6 with loads of sparkle & a unicorn in place of the 6. This is from a wonderful set that despite not being as heavy as the metal dice I normally prefer, is still a joy to play with.

Dice a Day Every day a new die from my collection #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Fifty-Five Another in a long line of generic plastic dice, this with silver swirls on purple with gold numbering. It’s nothing special, but they can’t all be amazing.

Fucking fridges! How do they work? Apparently not how I assumed they would! What kind of stupid system has the higher number meaning more cold? You can’t have more cold, only less heat! There I was thinking I was being clever & all I did was turn my fridge off during a heatwave. My milk had lumps.

Dice a Day Every day a new die from my collection #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Fifty-Four A very simple metal d6 with a nice traditional numbering. Nothing special, but it’ll get the job done.

Ooh, look at me with my MacBook and my late & my hipster sunglasses sitting in a really queer coffee shop trying to write my big gay book about dragons (although this part is about sheep rustling)!

My plan to make more money by doing some overtime has backfired & now I have to go to work on Thursday, grumble grumble

For the first time in thirteen & a half years I’m headed into work with short sleeves. Over the winter I made the switch to polo shirts with a long sleeved tee underneath, but as the mercury hits 22° I’ve had to remove some layers. Let’s hope no one is blinded by the light of my pale arms

Dice a Day Every day a new die from my collection Day Fifty-Three A blue d12 with black detailing around the numbering & edges. I’ve always loved d12s, they seem to be the roundest shape. This set is particularly nice, a bright modern colour contrasts with a traditional look to the serif numbers.

Things I have done so far today that are not writing: - Made the bed - Stared out the window - Brushed a cat - Deep-cleaned my headphones - walked around aimlessly - Dusted my rubber ducks - Made a list of things I have done instead of writing This is why it’s taken me over 5 years to write a book

Sir? Sir! My foot is not a support structure for your bathing!

I decided to add an extra chapter to the book to explain some of the history of the world, so I dug out the original world building notes so I could read up on the history. Well past me never got as far as writing any of it down, so I guess we’re all learning about it for the first time now!

Dice a Day Every day a new die from my collection Day Fifty-Two A spherical d6, blue with silver highlights added by me and a chainmail texture. I waited ages for this set to arrive & was miffed I’d ordered the wrong set by mistake (all d6s!) but I’m still happy to have them. The colour is perfect!

Dice a Day Every day a new die from my collection #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Fifty-One A translucent purple die with some silver shimmer & bright gold numbering. It’s a simple die, very light, but sometimes that’s all you need. The colours suggest a hint of royalty

Dice a Day Every day a new die from my collection #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Fifty A metal d10 with bright blue numbering. The scratches add charm & character to an otherwise simple die. The simplicity does nothing to detract from the style.

You know what? Fuck it. I am no longer going to work on condensing down Darkbarrow. It’ll be as long as it needs to be. I might even go back in & expand it in places! I could add an unnecessary amounts of extra content! Let’s see what happens with Drezin & Quinn, perhaps, another story about Tusty
