Having a great time with the dynamic lighting in , which we've never used before. The heroes fighting at night, in a swamp, with the threat of a black, shadowy dragon nearby. Worse, wraith-like humanoid forms are approaching them.

The battle, from the GM perspective, with the various overlapping darkvisions and normal light effects.

nukehavoc,

Same battlefield ... but with a fireball temporarily illuminating the swamp.

This is very cool. I'd like to figure out how I can make the darkvision effect that I (as the DM) see show up as black-and-white. As is, it's hard for me to tell what's regular vision (from torches, fiery wings, etc.) and darkvision.

This is also the combat where I remembered, hey, I got that spell effects bundle for last year!

@vandermore Remember that episode we did where we talked about all the cool, random stuff in our DriveThruRPG libraries?

We could definitely do one of those for Roll20. I had no idea I owned the

Time for more . The Heroes are continuing their trek through the foul Hool Wastes in search of an angel who fell to Oerth.

Watching the back half of Godzilla Minus One.

"This next battle isn't about a fight to the death. This battle is a fight to live for our future."

#GodzillaMinusOne has about 1000% more character development than its U.S. counterparts.

Ok, it's late.

I should probably go to bed, because I've got a conference tomorrow.

But ... I don't have to leave until later in the morning and, well, #GodzillaMinusOne is on Netflix...

@nukehavoc saw this bundle on Humble Bundle, and it made me think of you:

@Tomovasky13 Hmmm. I have about half of these from a previous bundle.

BUT I only have half of these from a previous bundle...

Finished the first book on my #SummerReadingList - Station Eternity by @MurHerself

It's a cozy (well, up to a point) #scifi murder #mystery set on an alien space. Cool setting, fun characters, and a great payoff at novel's end.

My thoughts on upgrading to the #ipadpro are up on Nuketown.

Short answer, it's a hell of an upgrade, especially when you're coming from an ancient iPad Air.

@gangrif Agreed. I've been very pleased with how well it works for drawing. At some point I'll post my replay of Zork ... and the map I created for it using Freeform on the iPad.

I haven't had that much fun taking notes for a video game since high school and Ultima IV.

@gangrif Nice! I've been using Procreate for some ad hoc maps, combined with Inkarnate (a web app).

Time to flex those brain muscles and get READING! ... it's Nuketown's 17th annual Summer Reading List.

Includes books by #MurLafferty #JamesSACorey #AlexWhite #FrankHerbert #PeterClines #DanielAbraham #NKJemisin #BrandonSanderson #JackCampbell and #SABarnes

Turns out, the list wasn't quite done yet (but then again, the list is never REALLY done until the end of the summer).

I added The Long Tomorrow by Leigh Brackett (hat tip to @grueproof), a post-apocalyptic novel which fits well with our summer.

There's also the Solo Game Master's Guide, which I picked up at #GenCon in 2023, started reading, but got distracted by life/work/other projects Given a certain solo/co-opt #Starforged game we've got cooking, now seems like a good time to pick it up again (and to use the Summer Reading list to finish it). #Solo #SoloRPG

And then there's the book about a place that was synonymous with summer when I was a kid in New Jersey in the 1980s:

Action Park: Fast Times, Wild Rides, and the Untold Story of America’s Most Dangerous Amusement Park by Andy Mulvihill and Jake Rossen

@Acantigue It's a funny book; definitely worth reading for anyone who ever went to (or saw the after effects of) Action Park.

Being able to use the iPad Pro as a second screen comes in super handy when I'm DMing on the road with #Roll20. #DnD #TTRPG #VTT

Paging my way through my various #TomeOfBeasts #MonsterBooks by Kobold Press.

There are many weird, wonderful, and deadly monsters in these books.

@ipr Oh - this looks cool! I've had a blast playing RPGs with my kids when they were younger (I still play #DnD with my 17 year old and his friends every summer).

Spending a not-so-lazy afternoon working on my campaign for . The Heroes of Hope are battling their way through corrupt Hool Wastes, fighting demons, undead, and worse.

Naturally, I need to find a few more enemies for them to fight. Good thing I brought a few books...

@vandermore @lairofsecrets nah, I got it handled: Flee, Mortals! looks like it would help fill in some niches in my #DnD monster economy: https://shop.mcdmproductions.com/collections/flee-mortals-the-mcdm-monster-book
