GenCon!
Those of you who have been here a full year may remember that last year, I wrote a cute little GenCon announcement skitthat I didn't end up having time to film! This year I had a little more bandwidth, so I modified it for my 2024 programming and put it together.Was it too much work for a 60-second convention promotion short? Absolutely. π But is it fun and cute? ABSOLUTELY!Fun fact: This i...

Aasimar Rogue/Wizard
WHOOPS! I never posted this full gallery!Anyway, I shot a LOT of photos of this lady because I felt very badass in this outfit π This is from one of the latest videos in the growing line that supports the hypothesis that the longer I spend making a video, the worse it performs.
You can play this D&D adventure by yourself
LIMPING ACROSS THE FINISH LINE HERE... I don't know how I keep forgetting that when you shoot hours of footage, it takes hours longer to edit π₯²I have to rush off to another thing that is secretfor now, but I hope you guys enjoy this one!! I've been wanting to do a follow-up to my solo D&D video for such a long time, and when Obvious Mimic offered to sponsor a video, it felt like the per...
Who should I play in a solo D&D adventure?
Hey friends! I'm working on a video for next week in which I play through a prewritten solo adventure. (This is different from my Aisling solo campaign βwe're just gonna have a lot of solitaire content upcoming π)Which of these characters would you like to see me play in a solo adventure?I'll probably use two! I'm only including options for the ones I have miniatures for, so I...
Princess Lua
I was so excited to have a good excuse to cosplay a girly-girl orc princess for Pointy Hat's Kraken Week video! This is Princess Lua, quest-giver and central NPC in the free adventure available alongside Pointy Hat's video. I got to help write this NPC and her role in the adventure.Fun fact: This outfit is Clover's bodice, Diadne Bluemoon's sleeves, Elliwyn's wig, Na'Krasha...
I want a playable merfolk D&D race (so I made one)
HI FRIENDS! I know I usually release videos on Wednesdays, but since Kraken Week kicks off today, Pointy Hat and I both rushed our videos to have them out on day one! And by rushed, I mean... rushed. This turned out to be a very big edit, and to be honest, I wish I had another day to polish it (mostly just because I have fun clips and graphics I'd have loved to add!) So I'm sorry to once a...

Hey friends, just wanted to give you a heads up that I had a guest appearance in the first two episodes of a new Actual Play show, "Roll For Initiagive"!

Bard Bloopers
It's exciting to have an editor now, because Biaputs totally different things into blooper reels than I would've π (I didn't realize how threatening my blank-eyed "in between takes" face was...)
D&D is changing bards (and I got to see π)
Wizards sponsored me and sent me a preview of the new College of Dance bard! (Sorry I couldn't give y'all early access on this one β it was under NDA.)In this video, we'll talk through some of the ways that the bard class is changing overall in the new 2024 rulebooks, and I'll give you a look at the College of Dance bard's features!
Harengon Druid
Here are all the photos of the neutral evil Harengon Druid from this week's video! I was SO nervous to do this look, and it was absolutely not comfortable, but... in the end, I think it came out really cool! I wanted "bunny girl, but spooky" and I think I pulled it off πWhat would you name this character?
Fiend Warlock π₯
I went back and forth on whether I wanted to share these photosets with you guys early, since they're... kiiiind of spoilers for this week's video? But I'm too excited about them to not share!In this week's video, I roll dice to generate 3 D&D characters, and then cosplay them(using makeup from sponsor Fantasy Cosmetica! Don't buy any yet, I'll have a discount code tomorrow...
Ginny Di ~in action~
I have recently found myself sometimes needing images of myself DMing or playing, and not having any! (Or at least, not that I have rights to β since, by nature, authentic photos of me in action are shot by someone else.) So... I FAKED IT.Here are a few shots of me sadly pretending that I have friends at the table π Next time I run a game, I'm gonna see if everyone is okay with Josh snapp...
June: My birthday! π
Hey friends! It's my birthday month, and I'm taking a little camping trip to celebrate!

Proactive Roleplaying β Bloopers
The delightful Nathan, who edited this week's video (and, yes, gave me permission to credit him by name, despite his cagey edit here π) put together a blooper reel for us! Here's a little window into how much I overreact to messing up a line β as well as why the cats aren't often "in" my videos despite frequently messing them up, haha!
Atrisca the Enthraller β Villain
When I asked on stream, y'all said you wanted villains! Twist my arm, I guessI'll make another evil lady. π Atrisca the Enthraller is a noble who was banished from the realm of the fey. Now, she holds her own twisted court in the ruins of a sinking castle in a swamp.Since Atrisca has two different types of minions and some optional lair actions, she should be very flexible for parties a...

Oh wow, shocking, another spooky lady!! Who could've guessed
When I am permitted to write ads using whatever themes I want, it's basically a coin toss between "plant-y lady" and "spooky lady." This week, spooky lady won.Anyway, here's Dollar Store Jennifer's Body from an Instagram sponsorship for today π
Once Upon a Dream
I got to attend the "Once Upon a Dream ball" last night from Second Star Eventsand it was magical! π I've never seen so many people in full fantasy dress in one place before β unlike a Renaissance Festival or a convention, there wasn't a single person who wasn't dressed for the occasion.

Clio β NPC
After bringing Clio back for another music video, it felt like it was high time she got her own PDF and stat block! For those of you who don't know, Clio was originally created to be my guest character on the Cast Party podcast. However, I've simplified and generalized her story for this PDF to make her easier to incorporate into your own games as an NPC.Since Clio is a poet and I wrote a ...

Some costumes with class π
I got to put together some half-costume, half-fashion looks inspired by D&D classes for an upcoming brand partnership and I think these came out so cute! Can you guess which classes they all are? πI think my favorite is the purple tiefling. I've done a few one-off purple-skinned looks (the sporty tiefling, Alfira, and this one now) but have never permanently brought a purple gal into the GD...
