Had an absolute blast running my first #DC20 adventure this weekend! It had been ages since I last Game Mastered, but thankfully, it was just like riding a bike—smooth and fun!

My first time trying a “bad guy”, it was pretty fun since I got to play with some different skin tones, along with experimenting with my own wash for the blood. My camera work/lighting could use a bit of work. #miniaturepainting #minipainting

I ran the #DC20 session 0 for my guys. It went really well, now I can’t wait to GM.

My #DC20 GM journey continues, my latest post is an overview how I went about learning the system and preparing a module for the group. At the end there are some helpful links to DC20 materials for players and GMs.

I decided to take the plunge and return to GMing after a long hiatus. To help myself prepare, I’ve been taking notes throughout the process. With the first session fast approaching, I thought, “Why not clean them up and share them with the wider world?”

About a month ago I decided to #minipainting. Having little artistic talent, I thought it would be fun to try something outside of my comfort zone. I’ve gotten four figures done (in order left to right). Thus far, it’s been a blast, I can’t wait to see how they’ll look over time.
