Extra Life D&D – tales of a mighty goat warrior & her dragon

Ok, well, her pseudodragon, anyway. So here’s the deal: I’m playing Dungeons and Dragons on October 25th as part of the Wizards of the Coast D&D Extra Life team. Extra Life is a wonderful DIY sort of fundraising project – it gives anyone and everyone the tools to put together a 25* hour gaming marathon […]

50 Dimetrodon plushies

Time for an adorable pictures post! You may recall that this past spring I made a horde of wee dimetrodon plushies for The Doubleclicks‘ Kickstarter. (Their new album has a song about dimetrodons. It’s awesome. The whole album is awesome. If you’re not already familiar with the Doubleclicks, you should really check them out. They […]

In keeping with the theme of elder gods and tentacled madness, I thought I’d like to come up with a Cthulhu greeting card. But this monster doesn’t just slip […]
