Several key moments in tonight's Slugblaster session, an extended chase scene through a pan-dimensional mall, have revolved around the revolting products of Aubergine Julius. ##TTRPG

I'm not an artist - well, not a visual artist - so for #PortfolioDay,I'm sharing some art that I've gotten from various commission artists here on Bluesky. If you like these styles, I highly recommend giving them your business - if I didn't enjoy working with them I wouldn't be promoting them! #NoAI

This is Daarr, my Gnoll Deadwalker from a short but epic Heart campaign, as illustrated by the very talented @tashiroth.bsky.social #PortfolioDay

This is Lahash, my Deva Swordmage. The game they were made for died long ago, but I love them so much that I still periodically get character portraits made of them in hopes that I'll get to play them again. This one is from my friend @mckbluff.bsky.social - part of her Hades-inspired series.

#RPGaDay2026 Day 31: EDGE Let's wrap up this character retrospective with Nick "Ace" Marini, international spy and expert wheelman from a much-beloved run of the Spycraft RPG back in the late 2000s.

#RPGaDay2026 Day 30: PRIDE Pride is the purview of Fo'alan, He of the Hundred Flames, whom I played in a playtest of inHabitation, an unreleased two-player journaling game by @mirror-lock.bsky.social .

We got along reasonably well at first, despite my constant complaining, but in the end my pride was too much for me to resist and for her to tolerate, and she found a way to banish my spirit forever. (My furious farewell journal entry was wonderfully therapeutic to write, though.)

As set up in the game's foundation, Fo'alan was an exiled former Lord of the Starless Court, an immortal spirit who had been cast down from his position and trapped in a mortal body.

#RPGaDay2026 Day 29: LABOR Labor reminds me of Badik, my gnome summoner from a fun (if short-lived) Pathfinder campaign. Badik wasn't very good at (or interested in) manual labor, but his summoned eidolon (Eddie for short) was more than willing to do all the heavy lifting.

Eddie was a large crab-like creature that didn't talk and didn't seem to have much in the way of personal opinions (or, indeed, independent consciousness). The table still developed a recurring gag wherein a few of the other PCs constantly accused Badik of enslaving the poor thing.

#RPGaDay2026 Day 28: DEVOTION Devotion, for me, brings to mind Xavier León, my urban tattoo artist from my friend Maeve's City of Mist campaign.

An incarnation of Acat, the Mayan god of tattoos, he is dedicated to the protection of his neighborhood - but most of all, the protection of his beloved Alitzel, who is carrying their unborn child. Nothing - not his shop, not his powers, nothing in the world - is as important as keeping her safe.

#RPGaDay2026 Day 27: HUNGER I've taken a lot of these prompts in metaphorical directions, but this one is quite literal. Some years back (more than I care to count), my good friend and fantastic GM @paigeleitman.bsky.social elected to run a campaign of the Serenity RPG.

Theo was a sweet and helpful fellow to his fellow crew, but they did eventually start connecting the dots when the Butterfly Killer's long-dormant string of murders started up again and seemed to follow planets our ship had been on.

The rest of us made characters who were decidedly darker.

After some brainstorming about possible storylines, someone suggested, "what if we were all criminals that met in prison?" This met with universal acclaim, and we set off to create characters.
