I mean, obviously Krobus should be #1, but I can't really complain.

If you want to hear me talk vampires, I'm on the Lesenswert podcast discussing 'Carmilla', a classic of gothic literature. (Although some other guy does come up at the start... the t-shirt might be a clue)

Are you a UK or Ireland-based designer looking to get started in the industry? Penguin UK has launched its cover design awards and this year, the focus is fantasy – and one of the two titles is Terry Pratchett's Night Watch. More details: terrypratchett.com/news/call…

Finished this personal piece of Astarion 🦇
I really wanted to get it right and time it for Baldur’s Gate 3’s 2nd anniversary… but well, you know how it goes
So here’s my slightly late fanart celebrating one unforgettable companion

In this episode of Storycraft for @SecondWindGroup, I had the privilege of chatting with writer and undead aficionado @nuckpang about how he created Astarion from Baldur's Gate 3 and why vampires make such excellent RPG characters. youtu.be/iV5vPNjvoKY?si=yecu…

ALT This image is our season one key art! The four season one dads stand on a giant red D20. To the left is Henry - a blond haired, bespectacled hippy druid sporting cargo pants and birkenstocks. Next up is Darryl Wilson, a coach dad with a green polo, red baseball cap, gripping a case of cold ones. Glenn Close lounges on the Honda Odyssey-san, rocking out with a guitar in a leather jacket holding up a beer can. Last up is, Ron Stampler - wearing a blue button up shirt and scratching his head. The lower third of the image is filled with yellow and font that reads: "Dungeons & Daddies". A white italisized subtitle reads: "* Not a BDSM podcast".
