Aftere the TPK in our first Eberron campaign, we decided to press on. With the trauma of a TPK, I decided to roll a heal-focused cleric: Lifeward, a warforged seeker of Vol.

I have written a post about my owlin rogue from our second Eberron campaign, but I haven't said much about my first two Eberron characters. There were probably some tweets about them, but that stuff has been lost to time. So let's take a look at Vinster and the first half of the campaign!

Sometimes, we'll do a 6-ish hour Deep Rock session on Sundays, and yesterday was one of those days. It's a fantastic co-op game to play with friends: there's tons of scaling and long-term objectives to work on. I picked up the Deep Rock: Survivors game on sale and it's fantastic.

And, a few words on GW2 legendary sales.

The long-running multi-universe campaign I play in, the Spinach Inquisition, started out with Starfinder in 2017. I mentioned this campaign yesterday when I was talking about ship combat encounters. But it might be fun to provide a summary of the campaign.

I'm playing in a PF2e campaign, GMing another, and curiously eyeing the Starfinder 2e playtest material. It's been an interesting week with all the new releases coming out of GenCon.

And some updates on FoundryVTT!

I'm having a good time keeping up with all the Blaugust posts flooding in! I've got some thoughts on Cozy MMOs, and I played Here to Slay for the first time yesterday.

For the first year ever, I'm participating in Blaugust, a month-long festival of blogging. The goal is to publish 31 posts in the month of August. Ideally at the rate of one per day, but, uh, we'll see how that goes when Janthir Wilds drops.

The long-lived TTRPG campaign I play in, The Spinach Inquisition, is an online group, so we've always used Roll20 to play. Most of my other various one-shots, short-lived campaigns, and even a couple in-person events have all used it too.

But, I've had a license for a self-hosted VTT since 2020: Foundry VTT. I used it pretty minimally -- until now! I'm setting up a whole campaign in there, and want to write down some of my thoughts as I get started.

This post will cover a range of items, from the techical to GMing.

Here's an article clipped from the Greydirge Chronicle regarding an incident we had during out last session.

For the traditional May celebrations, I visited both Atelier and Oriole last week for their spring tasting menus. We're at the very end of ramp season here in the midwest, and excitingly, both resturants managed to incorporate 'em into the menu.
