Practice makes perfect with the drawing. I always kick myself that I didn't stick with it. Who knows, after 20 years I might actually be good at it now. Everything's got a cookbook xD I remember back in the early 2000's I picked up a ST cookbook, was interesting seeing what all the alien food in the show actually was. oh that's awesome! I need to keep an eye out for the Star Trek cookbook. Aside from that how have you been? I've been alright. Same old same old, work and sleep xD how have you been?

Same old same old, work and sleep xD how have you been? pretty much the same. Working on either improving my drawing skills or D & D stuff in my free time. Spending some time with my little brother and watching like Dragon Ball from the first episode of the original series all the way through the end of super in GT and stuff and all the movies just a really big Mega watch through. We're actually on Dragon Ball Z right now I'm not said there is a fair in town and I might be attending that tomorrow afternoon

Happy (Belated) Birthday! Speaking of RPG Resource Books.... sorta. I went on a mad spree and have bought a ton of Warhammer 40K Codex' xD mutliple ones, from different years. I have like 4 Space Marines, 4 Chaos Marines, 3 4 Necrons. I even managed to buy like some 2nd edition ones. The Chaos Marine one from like '94? usually goes for £60, I saw one at £20, put in a cheeky bid... won it at £25. Lost most of the others, but then I don't wanna spend *that* much on them, per one. Almost all the rest have been under £10, usually under £7.
Also, You turned 30? Fucking hell xD That just goes to show how long we've been on this damn site. Well done.

Also have you been? it feels like it's been forever. Yeah there's at least one that I know of but it's like an hour's drive away from me and we only go there I think like once a year maybe mostly just because it's so far out of the way. I know they were in a mall for a little while whenever their main building got partially destroyed in a hurricane. After they rebuild and moved back in they have whole new Stock in there including a really big freaking manga section

So as a late birthday present myself I bought a few things yesterday probably spend a couple hundred dollars but eh.
Picked up a double pack of Star Wars Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast/Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy for the Nintendo switch I've never played Jedi Outcast so that's been pretty fun so far.
I also picked up a handful of D & D books. The glory of giants resource book that just came out as well as 4 resourcebooks that while not official Wizards of the Coast of were 5e compatible. They were books from the dungeon master's series a book for Random Encounters quick NPC builders expanded traps and stuff to help build dungeons and a book on Legendary Dragons that included a handful of legendary encounters some new draconic theme monsters for the beastiary and a dragon rider class

Sounds like a good haul. How are you? Getting in the ol' Halloween spirit? I'm doing pretty good All Things Considered. Finish playing Jedi Outcast on my switch a couple days ago and I'll say this that game was a lot more brutal then Jedi Academy even on the easiest difficulty setting I was playing on.... And yet the final boss fight was honestly one of the easiest fights in the game like I took the dude out in three hits. His second in command was a lot harder since that dude had a shield you have to overload and then destroy the matter while also not being able to use your lights saver because of his Emporia armor having to resorted blasters and stuff. As for Halloween yeah I'm pretty much getting in the spirit I've had my closet and stuff decorated at work for a while. I have a little haunted graveyard that I made out of various objects laying around like construction paper and paper towel tubes and stuff like that made a whole bunch of ghosts out of tissue paper. I also hung up some lights and fake cobwebs as well as a dollar store skeleton holding a bucket covered in those cobwebs

Happy Halloween everyone!!!
Hope everyone's day went by really well I spent the afternoon handing out candy to trick-or-treaters while dressed as Ash Ketchum wasn't even really a costume since I literally picked it up today after I got off work it was more just a random assortment of clothing I got from Walmart that vaguely resembled Ash. That said it was close enough that several of the people who showed up were able to figure out who the character specifically was while the rest of them just knew I was a Pokemon trainer of some sort

So I finally got to run my Halloween one shot yesterday. And it worked out pretty well my player character is wound up surviving with like probably collectively five hit points amongst all of them except for like one who was lucky enough to have not been hit all that much by the end of it.
It was quite literally a scream style slasher movie set in a two-story manor house in the middle of a blizzard in the mountains. Everyone there was searching for a hidden vault of treasure that the former owner had left there for them in his will after he passed away.
By the end of it there were essentially for survivors two player characters and two NPCs each one taking on their own Slasher villain in a 2V1. The first group barely managed to survive and beat theirs the only reason they didn't bleed out after killing him was because the orc had Relentless endurance and was able to successfully perform a couple medical checks to stop their bleeding.
The other group fared a little bit better mostly because the druid NPC was able to turn into a Triceratops before she wound up Bleeding Out and pretty much steam rolled the slasher

Oh I don't know if anyone's been keeping up with the Helluva Boss series but it's about halfway through season 2 they just had their mid-season finale. And all of the songs in it were fun but at least two of them have been living rent free in my head since the episode dropped

So I played against my brother in air hockey today. I won two out of the three games with the third one being a draw.
The first game was like seven to three or four the second game was closer we were tied six and six with him scoring the winning point for me by knocking the puck into his own goal
the third game I decided to give myself a handicap by playing left-handed and even still with my arm cramping up and everything from using muscles that I'm not used to I was still ahead near the end 6 to 5. He scored one more time on me bringing everything to a tie game of 6/6... Then the machine powered down because we had hit the timer so it was a draw game which I must say I'm not complaining against I feel I did rather well for using my left hand
