Coming on this blog for what I expect to be the last time to say that this page is no longer active and will likely be deleted soon. Follow me on twitter at @sequincult or my music blog, @supersonicyears.

I’m leaving Tumblr. In the upcoming weeks I will delete my blog. If you want to stay in contact with me I can be found on twitter with the handle @sequincult

We all thought Loki was the odd one out but it turns out Thor is actually the friendly jock middle child in a family of bitchy drama club goths

Just so you know, most of these are going to be dumb cartoons.

I just really love the shapes in this one. Even her facial bone structure matches her breastplate! The designs on her armor aren’t drowned in small details, but they add to her air of command. We talked about shape size in our last livestream, and this is a great example of how to do it right; notice how the details on her chainmail sleeve don’t extend above her sword even though there’s room, because that would crowd the area. I also love the colors, as well as the subtle shading that gives the portrait depth. The recurring golden accents, as well as the breaking up of the large red shape that is her cloak (combined with the tabard) tie this together for me. It’s just one of those pieces that I can spend minutes looking at. I highly recommend looking through the artist’s Tumblr, they are great a creating a mood through their art.

You need to realize the whole “shirtless Kylo Ren” thing is actually much funnier because it really wasn’t Ren purposely disrobing to Force-Facetime Rey, it was the two of them inexplicably Force-bonding at a Bad Time where Kylo happened to be shirtless and he didn’t actually intend for this to happen.

Reminder of the dialogue

Rey: “I’d rather not be doing this right now.”

Ben, shirtless: “Yeah, me too.”

Your bread-and-butter Dungeons & Dragons party won’t include a manticore, a gargoyle, a hyena or a sentient fungi, but maybe it should.  One D&D player spent a year and a half converting every single creature in the D&D [5E] Monster Manual into playable characters, and now players can live out their dreams of being a great fire beetle who slays dragons.

There are hundreds of monsters in D&D’s Monster Manual, many of which don’t really lend themselves to the Lord of the Rings-esque adventures that traditionally star humanoids.  Most dungeon masters won’t let players stray too far from that model.  It’s hard to wrap a plot around a rag-tag team of dire bats and oozes, and it’s hard to make sure a party’s stats are balanced when it contains both a faerie dragon and a mastiff.

Creator Tyler Kamstra’s new 283-page homebrew mod “Monstrous Races” offers ways for players to embody any of D&D’s monsters using stats, role-playing notes and everything else you’d expect to see listed next to the “Human” race in the D&D Player’s Handbook.  To play a basilisk, for example, players can attempt to petrify a creature with their gaze as an action.  This is helpful, since basilisks don’t have hands, rendering them incapable of holding a sword.  To play a banshee, or an undead spirit of a female elf, Kamstra recommends that players covet beautiful objects and remain within five miles of anywhere the banshee lived while alive.

This “Monstrous Races” mod is the sort of wonderful thing that, back in D&D days of yore, would exist as a titanic document in some far-flung basement, only to be enjoyed by a handful of players.  We can at least thank the internet for giving us playable purple worms.

Oooh

You ever like? Really had a lot of feelings about a game due to its art direction, its story, and all your memories tied to it IRL including the people you played it with? Yeah. That’s Transistor for me.
