Dinner today is a Hoosier staple. A pork tenderloin sandwich with onions, mustard, and sweet hot pickles. It's pretty much the only thing Indiana has going for it.

Behold! Crafting fuel. Peanut butter and dill pickles, an arguably perfect sandwich.

I got a button press for Christmas and I've been having a great time putting it to use.
Three buttons, one of which reads "GI ROBOT WAS RIGHT" another of which reads "STAIN WAS RIGHT" and the last of which reads "YOUR EXISTENCE IS NOT A CRIME"

Great news everyone! With the help of some clay and faux leather, I've successfully defaced a book about General Custer to create a spellbook for my wizard cosplay. She's sloppy, but I love her.
A book bound with red reptile pleather, with fossilized teeth and a glass eye embedded in the front cover, giving it the appearance of having been created from a living creature.

This video is a request for your favorite bit of subtext that recontextualizes the media it's in, or the most obvious piece of subtext you've ever seen someone miss. If you have one, and you don't mind me mining it for content, let me know!

It'll cure what ails ya, in a manner of speaking. Full SCP-427 DnD 5E conversion in the Alt Text!
SCP-427 [The Lovecraftian Locket] Wondrous Item, Locket, Artifact A small, spherical, ornately decorated silver locket. Its markings appear to serve no purpose. Echoes of Panacea. When opened, this locket emits a dull green glow. The locket can be opened as a bonus action, and magically closes at the end of the turn. A creature holding the opened locket is cured of all diseases and poisons, regains 2d6 Hit Points, and gains 1 point of Perfection permanently. Flesh, Perfected. If a creature ever has 7 points of Perfection, it transforms into a Lemure [Basic Rules 2014, pg. 278/Monster Manual 2024, pg. 194]. This transformation is permanent, and the creature can only be returned to its original form using the Wish spell.

I'll be posting some of my favorite shots from PopCon Indy in the next few days, so let's start with one of my favorites. Three dudes who really don't like Matt Murdock.
Cosplayers portraying Muse, Kingpin(self), and Bullseye from Marvel's Daredevil.

TB to that time my little brother and I were making a game, and while designing assets I made this animation of a tree pretending to be asleep.

Y'all, did you know that Alucard is just Dracula spelled backwards? Wild, eh?
Hellsing Arms .454 Casull Automatic Ranged Weapon, Pistol, Artifact (Requires Attunement) 13mm explosive steel rounds, alloyed with silver. There’s no freaks around who could eat these and come back for seconds. Damage: 2d6 Damage Type: Piercing Modifiers: Attacks +3, Damage +3 Properties: Ranged, Ammunition, Reload 7 Range: 120/200 Exotic Ammunition: Ammunition for this weapon must be created by a skilled craftsperson. The ammunition can be purchased from such a craftsperson at a rate of 2 Gold Pieces per round or crafted using 5 Gold Pieces worth of steel ball bearings and silver coins. When you finish a short or long rest, you may expend the requisite amount of materials to create 1d6 bullets for every 5 Gold pieces worth of materials expended. (Prices may vary at your DM’s discretion) Explosive Rounds: Piercing Damage dealt by this weapon is also Force Damage for the purposes of overcoming resistance and immunity. When you hit a creature with a ranged weapon attack using this weapon, each creature within 5 ft. must succeed a DC 14 Dexterity Saving Throw or take half the amount of damage dealt to the target. Silver Alloyed Bullets: Due to the iron and silver alloyed into the ammunition of this weapon, it deals an additional 2d6 Damage against Fey, Fiends, and Undead on hit. A vampire with the Regeneration or similar ability loses that ability until the end of its next turn when struck with a bullet from this weapon.

Today for Juneteenth we're revisiting the Marvel universe for builds based on 2 black Marvel superheroes! Full Marvel DnD 5E homebrew items in the Alt Text!
Miles’ Spider-Gauntlets Gauntlets, Artifact (Requires Attunement) At the end of the day... I'm Spider Man, and no one can take that away from me. Web Shooters: While attuned to these gauntlets, as a bonus action, you may fire a line of webbing at a surface or object within 60 feet, which adheres on contact. While attached to a surface or object via a web, you may climb or swing on the web. You climb the web at a speed equal to half your base movement speed. While swinging from a web, your movement speed is tripled; however, unless you release the web, you cannot move away from the object you’re attached to. If you release the web, you continue to move in the direction you were moving as long as you remain airborne. While airborne, you may use your reaction to fire a strand of web to break your fall. Additionally, you know the Web spell and can cast it at will. When cast this way, the spell save DC is 16. Venom Stinger: While attuned to these gauntlets, you know the Shocking Grasp cantrip and can cast it at will. If you’ve taken Lightning Damage this round, this spell deals an additional 3d8 Lightning Damage on hit. Cloak of the Moon Squire Cloak, Artifact (Requires Attunement) A white cloak with a hood which, while worn, fully obscures the wearer’s face in magical darkness. Patron’s Protection: While attuned to this cloak, while in dim light or darker darkness, you gain +2 to your Armor Class, and you may add your Wisdom modifier to all ability checks and saving throws. Dark Deity: While attuned to this cloak, you know the Darkness spell and can cast it at will. You also gain Darkvision up to 100 feet; however, you gain Sunlight Sensitivity. This means you have disadvantage on attack rolls and on Perception checks which rely on sight while you, your target, or an object you’re trying to perceive is in direct sunlight.

So, Beowulf is probably among the oldest pieces of media I've ever done a conversion for, eh? I'd wager that Christianity ekes it out by just a smidge. Full Beowulf inspired DnD 5E homebrew conversion in the Alt Text!
Hrunting Melee Weapon, Longsword, Artifact (Requires Attunement) A rare and ancient sword named Hrunting. The iron blade with its ill-boding patterns had been tempered in blood. Damage: 1d8 (1d10) Damage Type: Slashing Modifiers: Attacks +3, Damage +3 Properties: Versatile, Finesse Unfailing Blade: While attuned to Hrunting, you have advantage on attacks against beasts, monstrosities, fiends, and dragons. Additionally, you learn the Hunter’s Mark spell, and may cast it at will. Unferth’s Gift: This weapon is cursed by the failure of one who wielded it in times long past. When you attune to this weapon, you are reluctant to surrender it, and cannot unattune from it willingly. While you are attuned to this sword, if you enter hallowed ground or a place of worship, you develop a severe headache, and take 1d4 psychic damage each round. For the First Time: This weapon loses its magical abilities in the presence of descendants of the first murderer. While using this blade against someone with such lineage, the weapon is treated as a mundane longsword. If you are reduced to 0 Hit Points by a creature with such lineage, the sword shatters and your attunement to it ends.
