I’m back at college now, sitting at a new desk in a new apartment. In honor of the new academic year, I give you the following random table, for use with D&D or other fantasy games. Why Were You Kicked Out of the University Arcana? 01. Blew up something important, such as the College […] Read more
Replacement tablet stylus arrived! A day early! I CAN DRAW AGAIN Read more
I want to draw. And I can’t. Or, rather, I can, but it has to be with pencil and paper, not with graphics tablet and Photoshop, which is my preferred way of drawing, because my tablet pen has broken (yet again) and the replacement won’t arrive until Thursday.
