Herbalism and Potion-Making in Dungeons and Dragons

Herbalism and Potion-Making in Dungeons and Dragons
Dungeons and Dragons Featured

One of my players, a cleric, insists on being able to pick flowers and herbs along their journey to use in a recipe to make healing potions. The DM Guide is pretty clear that making healing potions costs 25 GP and 8 hours per day, a minimum of two days depending on the rarity of the healing potio...


Baldur's Gate 3 Catharsis

Baldur's Gate 3 Catharsis
Dungeons and Dragons Video Games

First of all, there will be spoilers for Baldur's Gate 3 here, so if you don't want to know what happens in the end after choosing the option to romance Karlach, then turn back. All you need to know is it destroyed me. In a very cathartic way.

If you already know or you don't care, ventur...

Resituating the Internet

Resituating the Internet
Dungeons and Dragons Websites Coding

It's been an eventful week behind the scenes on this website. I've got a couple of personal projects that I've had floating around on the Internet and until recently I've had them hosted on remote servers, but I've decided I wanted to keep them on my own server. So I learned Apache. And I brought...

I Invited Google's Bard to be a Bard in My D&D Game

I Invited Google's Bard to be a Bard in My D&D Game
Dungeons and Dragons

I had some downtime, so I decided to play around with Google's Bard. The conversation eventually moved toward their name and, well... here's how that went: 

ME: Is "Bard" a name or a title for you?

BARD: "Bard" is a title for me...

So, Anyway, I Started Boxing

So, Anyway, I Started Boxing
Health and Fitness

Last year I decided to start taking my fitness seriously. So for the past year or so, I've been working out pretty much every day. Every weekday, anyway. My routine has been fairly easy, but also very consistent. Go for a long walk or jog, stretch, lift some weights, do some squats, pullups, just...

Cinnamon: The Anti-Sugar
Health and Fitness

Cinnamon, also known as Ceylon cinnamon, is a spice that has been used for thousands of years in many cultures for its flavor and health benefits. One of its most notable benefits is its ability to regulate blood sugar levels, making it an excellent alternative to sugar for people looking to cont...

Websites

If you've visited before, you may have noticed that this website has undergone a few changes. I used to be a social media manager. As such, I had no need to go through the bother of creating my own website. I used some templates and tossed some stuff onto the 'net and that was that. I've stopped ...

Current Projects

Gravity's Folly

Gravity's Folly is a campaign setting for D&D 5e that takes place in a sci-fi world where technology has advanced enough as to be indistinguishable from magic! As such, the mechanical rules of magic are completely unchanged from the basic D&D ruleset, but the flavor is entirely grounded in science and technology

Here's a blog post about it, and look for more in the future as it gets more and more fleshed out as my friends and I play through it!

Catharicosa

Catharicosa will be a suite of platform agnostic tools for TTRPGs to make your game easier as both DM and player.

Catharicosa Notes and Starship Console are already in the bag, but look for more to come!

Javascript Games

I made this Flappy Bird game when I was learning how to JavaScript. Play and enjoy!

Disclaimer: Not the original Flappy Bird game.

A few weeks ago I dislocated my knee... For, like, the 5th time in my life. (I have abnormally small kneecaps; it's a whole thing.) The difference this time was that I had actually been strengthening my whole body, including my knee. So when it happened, it wasn't nearly as painful or debilitating. Still, it put me off exercising. I kept a dumbbell by my office chair so I wasn't too far gone, but there was no more walking, no more boxing. A week ago I started walking the dogs again. I've slowly been working my way back up. Now, look at that step/heart tracker. I'm back!

Um. Yes. This. This is how it works. If you've ever felt uncomfortable in conversation with me... well, first of all, I deeply apologize, but also, this is how I feel about conversation.
