Dear Readers, I have a confession to make: I don’t usually write out the adventures that I run with regards to my homebrew stuff. Not even a little bit. I don’t usually pre-plan the interactions, per se, I don’t have “read aloud” text, but what I do do (hehe, insert 12-year old joke), is outline!Continue reading “How-To DM: Adventure Outlining”

Painting Update: Female Human Barbarian
Dear Readers, I’m still working on some commissions for a buddy of mine. This time, it’s a female human barbarian. Frankly she looks pretty fierce. But I guess that’s the point. In any case, she’s going to be a little bit of a challenge, as she stands on one foot on the mini stand. Here’sContinue reading “Painting Update: Female Human Barbarian”
Premium Content: New Monsters!
Dear Premium Subscribers (if you aren’t one, consider becoming one!), my editor is currently in the process of moving, so I don’t have a new Ingrates video to show you, so instead, I’m going to give you some new monsters that I’ve come up with.

Your Guide to Tabletop Games
Dear Readers, after the D&D OGL debacle, some of you may be considering trying out other game systems, and that’s okay. Although I generally cater to D&D players, I try to make my gaming how-to’s universal in application. That said, here’s my list! Tabletop roleplaying games have been around for decades and have evolved inContinue reading “Your Guide to Tabletop Games”

Painting Update: Winter Wolf
Dear Readers, like most everything lately for this Blog, I haven’t done one of these for awhile. But it’s back!

How-To DM: Music Soothes Even the Savage Player
Dear Readers, as I write this post, I’m listening to the “My Mix” on YouTube, of which California Dreamin’ by the Moma’s & The Papas. Oldie but goody.

Adding Monsters
Dear Readers, yes, I know it’s been more than a week since my last update, but there’s been good reason: life. If it wasn’t one thing, it was another.

The OGL 1.1 Controversy
Okay, I said I would respond to all of this, and the storm surrounding it happened so quickly, that it took me some time to get everything together to say something meaningful. But here it goes. *big inhale* Wizards of the Coast (WotC), had released a document that was leaked back on 9 January. ThisContinue reading “The OGL 1.1 Controversy”

How to Play: 7 Unique Clerics Inspired from History
Ah… the holy cleric… The support caster of support casters at the beck and call every wounded warrior. They are squeamish around blood, in chapel on a friday night, and rolling their eyes at every joke. And for most people, no matter how powerful the class is (and it is VERY powerful) that sounds… boring. Continue reading “How to Play: 7 Unique Clerics Inspired from History”
Painting Update: Crystal Dragonborn Ranger
Dear Readers, I am taking a break from the Spelljammer ship. It’s been really painstaking, and instead of being a calming activity, painting the ship has become a chore and a stressor. Therefore, I’m working on another project: a friend’s dragonborn ranger. Here she is, post priming: I chose a white primer, as opposed toContinue reading “Painting Update: Crystal Dragonborn Ranger”
Painting Update: Elven Spelljammer Ship
Just a quick update on the progress of the ship! Here are some pictures: As you can see, the work on the bottom, the fins and exception, are done.

What a Day!
So I have been painting and painting and painting on my new ship! It’s coming along very nicely. I’m so excited to eventually showcase it to my players once it is complete.
