YOUR FIRST DND ONE SHOT TABLETOP GAME – HOW TO PREPARE

Greetings everyone. I've been writing posts about the Dungeons and Dragons role-playing game for a while now, and it's very important to me that they are actually usable and tangible examples. Because it is necessary to give tips that people who will read these articles can actually apply. I don't want it to be like recipes that don't give any information and tell a story.

Long story short, if you have decided to read this article, I will talk about what you need to do to prepare for your first DND or other RPG tabletop game. In tabletop games, being a game master is actually not a difficult thing. It just requires preparation.

[ENG-ESP] "Un hombre transformado" / "A changed man "

Hello everyone!
This work, "A transformed man", is inspired by one of the surrealist works of the artist Igor Morski

As for the title of the work, it has as a reference some bible verses, 1 Corinthians 51-55, where it alludes to a transformation of human bodies into spiritual, immortal and incorruptible bodies.
This work, of surrealist characteristics, shows the figure below, crouched and earthly, anchored to the world.

Drawing the World From Memory - Africa.

Hi everyone! 😊

I come back today with something special.

Since a little time I am interested in geography, and I wanted to expand my knowledge.
Indeed, I was pretty bad in this discipline ; apart from the main ones, I was unable to place many countries on a map. It was starting to bother me a lot.

Forever

We get it, you did a good job
it's everyone else that didn't
We should care about you
and we would, we really would
if you just gave us some hole to climb through
the glimmering wall of your ego

YOU tried, no one else did

I TRIED TO SHOOT CINEMATOGRAPHICALLY ON A HOT AFTERNOON / PHOTO STORY

Without a single cloud on the sun - an attempt at cinematography.

We all know it takes up to two hours after sunrise and before sunset. Yes, but this is not always possible. You know - hectic model schedules, chasing deadlines, or screaming babies... So I did this experiment. We went with Tsvetina to a huge field with no trees or shutters to create shade. Me, her and the sun. I increased the speed as much as possible, leaving the aperture at 2, because of the bokeh.

Our pets and the Akashic Records

In my house, there are 2 adults, 3 kids, 2 dogs, a puppy, a cat, a bearded dragon and a rabbit. We are a house of misfit animals that have become our family. One of our dogs has 3 legs, our puppy is more than half blind and questionably deaf though it's hard to say if it's her attention span or ability to fully block out something she's not feeling, our oldest dog is more human than dog as told by her old soul wink, our cat-she's a story unto herself, our bearded dragon has broken toes, our rabbit has a wilted ear ... We rescue our animal friends and somehow our lot of awesomeness has increased considerably over the last year and half. I say somehow, though my husband would say it's my fault <3

One Thousand and One Nights: Wardan the Butcher and the Vizier's Daughter: First Night

This is the start of the story. What is happening here is difficult to summarize; you must read it.

ON THE FIRST NIGHT

Scheherazade said:

It is said, among various tales, that there was in Cairo a man called Wardan who was, by profession, a butcher for mutton. Every day he saw a teenager come to his shop, splendid in body and face, but with very tired eyes and also very tired features and a very pale complexion.
