✨New item!✨ Entropic Arrow Weapon (arrow), rarity varies

The rarity of this ammunition is determined by the type of gemstone embedded in its shaft. An uncommon arrow is chrysoberyl, rare is peridot, and very rare is emerald. 

Chrysoberyl. An entropic arrow embedded with chrysoberyl has these magical properties:

On a hit, this arrow deals an extra 1d8 necrotic damage to the target. If the target is a creature, its hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken. This reduction lasts until the creature finishes a long rest. Once it hits a target, the ammunition is no longer magical.

Peridot. An entropic arrow embedded with peridot has these magical properties:

The extra necrotic damage increases to 2d8.

Enervating Cone. If you speak the arrow’s command word while firing it, the arrow shatters into a 30-foot-cone of negative energy. Each creature in the area must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become enervated for 1 minute. An enervated creature can’t regain hit points and it has disadvantage on Strength-based attack rolls and checks. At the end of each of its turns, an enervated creature can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success. Conversely, undead creatures in the area are empowered by this effect, and gain advantage on attack rolls and Strength checks for 1 minute. The arrow is destroyed when used in this way.

Emerald. An entropic arrow embedded with emerald has these magical properties:

The extra necrotic damage increases to 4d8. 

A target hit by this arrow must succeed on a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or be aged a number of years equal to half the necrotic damage it took, rounded down. This aging effect can only be reversed by a wish spell.

Enervating Cone’s range increases to a 60-foot-cone and the save DC increases to 16.

Shards of negative energy can be brought into the material plane and stored within gemstones. Contact with this energy immediately saps lifeforce and draws one closer to a withering death. Beings of darkness use this power to forge weapons that surpass physical wounds and harm the soul. - 🖌🎨 Like our work?

FREE SWATCH CARD

Why not start the new year right with organizing your art supplies and have a nice swatch card with them?

I made a free printable swatch card just for that and you can find it at my ko-fi

So let's talk about the cards. I suggest printing them at A5 size with paper that suits you media well (eg: 190g/m² watercolor paper for your water based media)

You can use this for pretty much any art supply as you have 1 extra row for each color and one extra space at the bottom so you can add any extra info (such as light fastness or even score it for yourself, add notes and so on!)

Happy swatching everyone!

Hi!

First of all, I really appreciate your work here! I love discovering new games and i have added some to my list based on your recommendations

Right now I'm looking for a solo ttrpg that is meant to be played in extremely short daily sessions. I want to play a little round each morning as if it were a daily wordle or newspaper crossword puzzle. Just a quick dopamine hit without having to commit multiple hours.

I know that with solo games, it is easy to do things at my own pace anyway. But are there any solo games that incorporate short, daily sessions as a feature?

THEME: Short, Daily, Solo Games.

Myrtle Manor, by aiyujellies.

On the edge of the cliffside lies a crumbling manor swathed in blankets of shadow. A cloaked figure darts out of its entrance, a gaping maw, and disappears into the forest, their footprints featherlight and fading in the snow...

Myrtle Manor is a solo journaling role-playing game. It requires a tarot deck, two coins, and a medium to record the story. For every entry, you will draw a tarot deck and consult the oracle for guidance on what kind of person you meet. Each day you will meet a new person.

You’ll want to keep in mind why you’re visiting the manor and what secret your character is trying to find (as well as what secret they are trying to keep). Each entry comes with a section called Mind Your Presence, in which you determine what each meeting means to your character.There doesn’t seem to be a definitive end to this game - I’m assuming you can play for as many days as there are tarot cards in the deck, but you could also tie things up sooner if you find the story reaching a natural conclusion, or whenever you get bored. Definitely worth checking out!

Your True Name, by Pearse Anderson.

Your True Name is a spell-generation storytelling game to play with some choice five-letter words. It is a one-page Lost & Found hack of Wordle, the online spelling sensation, designed to be one-player and played in fifteen minutes or less!

In Your True Name, you become a magic word being Spoken by generations of spellcasters, each of them trying to use your magic and get closer to Your True Name (today’s Wordle answer). The game changes each day with the Wordle and with each player’s guesses, making the replayability endless and a perfect way to generate fun spells for your other campaigns and games. You, as the magic word you inhabit, can travel between the lips of waterfall watchers, bandit-kings, aeronauts, illusionists, and Mage College adjuncts, changing and growing in both power and potential volatility.

This gives you a way to game-ify another morning activity, that activity being Wordle. I was inspired to recommend this game when you mentioned a daily Wordle, because I knew I had seen this game somewhere. You could stay within the same world / character as you play, or hop between characters or bouts of inspiration.

The Bonsai Diary, by Sticky Doodler.

It's 2023, and you plant a small tree seedling, imagining its future. Bonsai trees can live hundreds of years. Who will inherit this living being? What will that person think of you in 2178? Will they think of you at all?

This is a beautifully contemplative game, in which you embody various generations that are all responsible for caring for a bonsai tree (and possibly more). Throughout the game you will find small pieces of facts about trees and notable tree-related history. The game itself is a printable booklet that you will draw in, answering questions about 6 generations and how they came across the bonsai. If you want to continue past generation 6, the booklet contains instructions for longer play.

You Beyond the Pale, by S. Kaiya J.

You don't belong in the mortal world. You live alone, and you have always lived alone. You have yourself, and you have your own territory. The mortals have their own realms, and the mortals have each other. So what happens when the mortal world starts coming to you?

You, Beyond the Pale is a solo journaling RPG based on the Aspire SRD. Take up the role of a unique monster, adrift and alone, bewildered by a world full of mortals. Observe them. Learn about them. Scare them, or leave gifts for them. Make a friend. And brace for when your friend tells the rest of the mortal world about you.

S. Kaiya J writes extremely poetic and thoughtful games, and this one is no exception. Using a deck of cards, you will chronicle the story of a monster who makes a new, mortal friend. The author encourages you to select a prompt in the morning, think about the possibilities throughout the day, and return to the game at night, before you go to bed. If you want a game that draws a story out over a month, this might be the game for you.

Loved in Triangles, by James Shannon.

Loved In Triangles is a solo GM-lessTTRPG about romance, relationships and choices. Through playing you'll explore 6 months in the life of someone deciding whether to stay in their current comfortable relationship or to risk it all on the possibility of something new. The game requires a standard deck of playing cards.

If you want to play a game that deals with a topic that has some weight to it, you might want to check out this game. You will draw cards and your character will have to make a decision about what they want in life when it comes to romance. You can base these characters off of different versions of yourself, inspired by fictional characters, or something else altogether.

You are Autumn, by Turtlebun.

You Are Autumn is a game for one person. It takes only a few moments to play.

This is possibly one of the shortest solo games I’ve seen on Itch. It’s more of a writing or journaling exercise than it is a storytelling game; each day you write about the things you cherish and how they leave you to be replaced with something else. I feel like you could either stick rigidly to the premise of this game, or you could expand on it, create new rules, or use it as part of another journaling game.

Games I've Recommended in the Past

Global Dragon Egg Conservation, by KuumatheBronze.

Also...

You might also want to check out the Lunch Break RPG Bundle, which are meant to be short and quick to play. Not all of them will be solo, but a good number will be! (Limited time only)

Is anybody here?

It's been years since I used tumblr for the last time and I noticed my blog was and still being so popular here. I started this as a secondary blog for compiling and sharing images that I found useful for doing props. I'm not a graphic designer although I have basic notions.

I leaved that for many reasons:

- First of all, discovering Wizardry Workshop on YouTube (then known as Muggle Magic). I saw the amazing job Danny did with the Chocolate Card printables. His channel and works grew in popularity and quality and, as a fan, he does everything I need for doing crafts. Continuing compiling pngs and jpgs and doing very basic edits became nonsense while having his amazing work avaliable.

- I compiled a lot of stuff and finding new ones began to be harder.

- I was really disgusted by Tumblr's the new politics and UX: censorship, ads, payment functions...

- There was less content related to the Fantastic Beasts franchise and, sadly it was not the same and I didn't like it as much as the main saga. On the other hand, Wizardry Workshop has amazing material and tutorials.

- College, adulthood and health in general.

My love with HP graphic design started in the middle 2000s when I was little and making little crafts with designs made by people on deviantart or myself in paint was a way for feeling this amazing world more real and feeling part of it.

I saw some messages and comments asking for some content and also selling props. I'm sorry for never answering the requests and I'm so thankful for the positive feedback. Although it was never the purpose of this blog selling anything and it's illegal as I'm not the original designer nor related to Minalima or WB. By the contrary, if I ever had an intention, it was promoting the DIY culture by making it easier to have accurate resources as it was so hard to find screen accurate content.

I'll try to share new things I'll find here but:

If you're really interested on DIY, replicas, HP's graphic design be sure you check first:

1. Wizardry Workshop (YT, his own website, etc.)

2. Magyar_wizard_workshop for inspiration and reference. They do the replicas I've never done.

2. magicalpropreference (Instagram)

3. Nurmengart (Instagram)

4. Alarmeighteen and Mondomago for fully readable premium book replicas

Have a nice day!

PS: Sorry for the grammar but I'm Spanish and I'm too lazy for checking or using google translator.

Progress report ! ૮ ºﻌºა ✨ kind of a work-in-progress diary for myself. v indulgent.

intense world of dick terrifying - goin good! got a main character, some supporting characters, figuring out the big rivalry today. Gotta figure out a format. I was thinking of basing it off of the Day at the Airport book bc it's only about 11 spreads but there's a lot going on on each one. Could leave it a comic but I also want it to be printable hmm catnips cantrips chooseyer-by-mail test - learning a lot! the world-building has been reallllllly fun - like the kind of fun where you want to go a little deeper bc you like it not bc you have to. perfect situation. Gotta resolve the mix between the DM roleplay and the actual postcards. Made and branded a whole gmail account and character to handle lost postcards - Pizza Kentucky III of the Isekai Post Office. Haven't been keeping up with the blog. But the blog is supposed to be more of a holding container than a 'thing'. One thing I did not expect to be learning was spreadsheets. Keeping track of names and addresses and choices and paths has given me a new perspective on pacing and structure. Also? Been a great excuse to finally play with UV epoxy and it's so straightforward that I'm mad it took me so long. media thats not just webcomics - dunmeshi is out!!! Laios my beloved. Still afraid to find and read Kotteri's Veil bc it will make me too feelings. Started reading books I loved as a kid (Redwall!!!) and some story craft books (found an NPR list somewhere) WRHP s2 - started to feel like work but changing up the backgrounds freed me up, feels fun again Sorcerer comic - paused while I wait for fashion inspiration to pull the ending together Emotional support paladin - paused till I feel like it. It's got such a specific delivery style that I don't wanna force to get the story out, so i gotta wait for some story aspects to firm up Bonnie & Clawd - more of a character study than a comic - fun to practice cutie pies cuddling. But... how DO birds and wolves smooch. Saw a youtube video about how ravens and wolves are friends and work together. So perfect. Valentines day thing - got some supplies coming tomorrow, gonna try out my idea. If it works maybe sell it? If it doesn't work, oh well, probably will learn something. Wanted to make perforated cards and stickers but got a little overwhelmed thinking about printing. Might just do a digital thing if an idea comes to me. Been wanting to make holographic stickers but when I sit down to think of a motif it feels stressful. Maybe I just test the Poodle Broadcasting System logo? I've always loved the aesthetic of valentines day but never felt like it's been delivered right. I certainly never felt indulged - something is always a little not-cute or too-cutesy. Think it could be really fun to have it be an annual 'surprise box'. I lost my halloween fam in the schmivorce so I could use a holiday to go crazy on. (For years I would drive out and help build a whole haunted house in a garage and it was like a week-long party with great food and movies and laughs. Sad to lose it, sadder still to know it was so easy for them to lose me. ) Dishupon - ok not as many players and responses as I'd hoped. But that wasn't really the point. Point was to invent some sanrio-y characters for fun - which i did. And I will also say that the exercise of coming up with a variety of cozy, fun, silly, spicy ways to think about dishes has made MY dishes mostly effortless. Even made a little foam clay Tiger coach and he's sitting on the window above the sink. Perhaps I will think of a game to get my car inspection done.

Overall January is great. Granted, it's the 4th. Had my ten year work anniversary (idk how old everyone thinks I am but it's Not 20) and got to 1010 followers on twitter on the same day. And the new d20 is out on the 10th so that felt real nice and square. Bit worried that all the good vibes I built up over holiday vacay will get smashed when I'm put on a new work project. But i feel like I'm about to level up a little bit art-style wise. Feelin grateful, feelin warm & cozy

It is long...but read it....

Future of LeDiableBlanc.com

Here is the lowdown on what is going to happen with LeDiableblanc.com. Over the last month or so I have been playing around with new ideas for the site. The reasoning behind this mucking about is nothing short of I am getting old and so is the site and it needs to slow down along with me. I have been running this website alone for almost 30 years now, and I am approaching the big 50 myself, and we are in need of a smaller workload. It has been a labor of love and still will remain one, just a little slimmer, just cutting the fat. Here are the changes that I know are going to happen moving forward in the streamlining of the site:

Appearance Database:

The Appearance Database is the heart and soul of the site, so it is going nowhere. It will change (hopefully for the good), but will remain housing the same idea of collecting all of Gambit’s comic appearances. I did a quick rehaul of the “A” section in the Appearance Database, that shows how the new database will be absorbing the other information from the site. The main page of the Appearance Database will stay the same, cover and basic stats of the comic for quick reference, but by clicking on the cover you will get not only the variant images as before, you will also get any other Gambit related information from the comic as well. The database will absorb the information normally found in: Friends & Foes, Family Tree, Uniforms, Charged Items, Stolen Items, Quotes, Crossovers, Major Reads, and even some sections that never made it to the site itself and these stand alone sections will be removed from the main menu. I feel this will be be an easier way to keep that information available, but less workload on getting this information up on the site. I will also keep the Printable Master List updated regularly and available.

Sections getting the Ax:

Some areas of the website will be getting the ax all together. Most of the these sections are now redundant or out of date. Getting the ax will be Bang your Dead, Fashion Police, Wolverine Gallery, Wallpaper, and Ads. I will also be taking down Fanart, due to art theft and the AI issues of today, it is not a mess I want to step into anymore. With artists having their own social medias and websites, I feel there will be no great loss to this area leaving from the my site. The merchandise database will be coming down too, it is out of date and impossible to keep updated. Disney is very loose with their licensing, so the amount of goods coming out is too large to keep housed. Also, most new merchandise is immediately posted on the Facebook Groups much faster. I will make sure to post some of the older, more unknown goods to the Tumblr “Obscure Gambit” page, so that older stuff doesn’t disappear completely.

Sections on the Fence:

I will be keeping the Non-Sport and Game Card databases. They are relative to Appearance, in my opinion, and will remain and updated as much as possible. Saying that, I am on the fence with the Sketch Card database. It is technically an appearance, but the cards are not available to everyone and the database can never be completed because the actual amount of cards are unknown and are constantly being made. I am also on the fence about keeping the media outside of comics, like movies, animated tv, and video games. They are technically not anything I have to update a lot, because the information is complete for now, but eventually new episodes/games will be made, and I am not really into the other media, so I usually am unaware. So I may leave them for now and decide later on those. I am really debating on taking the site back to it’s comic only roots and removing those sections.

I would really like any feedback, for or against these leaving the site. So please let me know your opinions.

Galleries: As I said above, the Fanart, Wallpaper, and Wolverine galleries are being axed. I am going to keep the Edits, Original Pages, and the Cover galleries on the site. They may not get as many updates as usual, but they are not time sensitive, so it should be fine. Those are highly used galleries, so I don’t want to take them away for now.

Social Media/Domains:

The LeDiableBlanc.com Facebook Group and the two Tumblr (lediableblanc.com and Obscure Gambit) pages will remain and operate as usual. I will not be using Reddit (why so much hate for Reddit?), Instagram never got used much anyway, and will be discontinued. I will never open a Twitter/X, so don’t ask. I am willing to take any suggestions on other social media, but no promises. I will not be renewing some of the domain names that mirror the site. I will always keep lediableblanc.com and remylebeau.com, but iheartgambit.com, xmengambit.com, xmenlebeau.com will most likely not be renewed as site mirrors. They are rarely used and the money spent on their renewal can go towards the annual server fees.

Patreon, I am going to remove at the end of the rehaul. I thank everyone who donated, it helped more than you know. If you want to donate one last time, I will be forever grateful, server fees are not cheap, but with the downgrade of the site I don’t expect anyone to do any kind of monthly support. I may go back to the annual begging, so prepare for that, but I don’t expect anything from anyone but enjoying the site.

If you have any questions, suggestions, or feedback of any kind, PLEASE let me know. Reply to this message or email me at remylebeau@yahoo.com. You can message me through the Facebook group or on Tumblr as well.

It will probably take me a few months to get the Appearance Database up to date and the other information added, so not many changes or updates may happen until that is completed. So the soon to be removed areas will remain until it is done and uploaded.

Thanks, everyone for your support and I hope it will continue through the mess to come.

A Few Words about Beginning

Printable i-res PDF with the vocabulary cards is available on my Patreon. Become my patron and build your Russian vocabulary faster!

New year is the time when people tend to be optimistic. Many of us share the feeling that in the new year, we will live a better, more productive life. Here are a few words that would help you speak about your New Year resolutions in Russian. 

Начать is the most common and versatile verb for "to begin, to start". When thinking about the new year, many people say: 

В новом году я начну бегать по утрам. In the new year, I'm going to start running in the morning.

Some related words are:

Начало - a beginning, a start;

Начальный - initial, opening, first. 

Начало нового года - прекрасное время. The beginning of a new year is a great time.

На начальном этапе самое важное - не потерять мотивацию. At the initial stage, the most important thing is not to lose motivation.

A synonym for начальный is первый, and you probably already know this word. 

Первое время будет тяжело, но ты не сдавайся! It will be hard at first, but don't give up!

Another common verb for "to start" is стать, and in this meaning, it can be used interchangeably with начать. It also means "to become", while начать doesn't have this meaning.  

Я стану больше ходить пешком. I'm going to walk more.

Ты станешь стройным. You're going to get slim.

Заняться is a very helpful and frequent verb. It means "to start doing something, to engage in". 

В новом году я брошу работу и займусь любимым делом. In the new year, I'm going to quit my job and do what I love.

Взяться literally means "to take something with hands, to grab", but it developed a figurative meaning - to set about, to undertake, to start doing. In that  meaning it became a part of several idioms: 

Я серьёзно возьмусь за своё здоровье в новом году! I'm going to get serious about my health in the new year!

Он взялся за ум и нашёл новую работу. He stopped screwing around and found a new job. 

Приступить, to begin, to proceed, sounds a bit formal. I suggest to reserve this verb for public speeches. 

Мы приступили к строительству нового здания для городского совета. We have begun construction on a new building for the city council.

Somehow all these verbs were not enough for the Russian language, so it borrowed "to start", стартовать, from English, and my best guess is that it happened when sports and international sport games became extremely popular at the beginning of the 20th century. Most commonly, this verb is used either in the context of sports, or in the news reports about a start of some events. Also, стартовать is often used with ракета, a spacecraft. 

Час назад стартовал китайский космический корабль. An hour ago, a Chinese spacecraft took off. 

And, of course, Russian borrowed the related noun, too: старт.

Первая неделя января - это ещё только старт, это не финиш. The first week of January is still a start, it's not the finish line.

Want 2024 to Be Your Most Awesome Year Ever? Shift Your Mindset First

In the pursuit of making 2024 your most incredible year, there's a crucial element that often gets overlooked, your mindset. The way you perceive the world and approach challenges can have a profound impact on your success and happiness. In this article, we'll explore the importance of shifting your mindset and provide practical tips to help you achieve your dreams in 2024.

As we step into a new year, it's natural to have aspirations and dreams. We all want 2024 to be a year filled with success, happiness, and personal growth. However, achieving these goals requires more than just wishful thinking. It starts with a fundamental shift in your mindset.

Understanding the Power of Mindset

What is Mindset?

Your mindset is the collection of beliefs, attitudes, and thoughts that shape your perception of the world. It's the lens through which you view challenges, opportunities, and your own capabilities.

The Fixed vs. Growth Mindset

There are two primary types of mindsets: fixed and growth. Those with a fixed mindset believe that their abilities and intelligence are static, leading to a fear of failure. In contrast, individuals with a growth mindset embrace challenges, view failures as opportunities to learn, and believe in their capacity for growth.

The Impact of Mindset on Success

Mindset and Goal Setting

Your mindset significantly influences how you approach and achieve your goals. A positive and determined mindset can lead to setting ambitious goals, taking persistent action, and overcoming challenges, while a negative mindset may result in self-doubt and a reluctance to aim high. In essence, your mindset shapes your attitude and behavior towards goal setting, ultimately impacting your success in achieving those goals.

Mindset and Resilience

Your mindset plays a crucial role in your resilience. A growth-oriented mindset encourages adaptability, learning from setbacks, and the ability to bounce back from challenges. In contrast, a fixed mindset may hinder resilience by seeing obstacles as insurmountable. Your mindset profoundly affects how you navigate and bounce back from life's ups and downs.

Steps to Transform Your Mindset

Transforming your mindset involves several essential steps:

Identify Limiting Beliefs: Recognize and challenge the beliefs that hold you back. Question negative thoughts and replace them with more empowering ones.

Practice Self-Compassion: Treat yourself with kindness and understanding. Avoid self-criticism and develop a nurturing inner dialogue.

Set Realistic Goals: Define achievable, meaningful goals that align with your aspirations. Break them down into smaller, manageable steps.

Embrace Failure as a Learning Opportunity: View setbacks as valuable lessons rather than as a reflection of your abilities. Learn from your mistakes and use them as stepping stones to success.

The Dream Life Manifestation Kit 2024 is a comprehensive and transformative tool designed to help you manifest your dreams and create your best year ever in 2024.

Neon Shadows Breakdown

This is kind of a long cross post of Neon Shadows, but...

Neon Shadows is a Belonging Outside Belonging TTRPG that has playbooks based on the 9 enneagrams. Each one is unique to play, has growth and stress mechanics that come into play at the end of every game, and retirement of each character (both through growth or through stress). It has an Aetherpunk aesthetic and the theme overall is growth, found family, group dynamics, and the journey. Each character has a desire based on their enneagram type and character building is simple. It has prompts and choices in those prompts that you tell the group about.

There is a custom card mechanic for the game that is used to help with narrative as well as hold the place of Tokens for the game, with each type tied to a suit. This is in place to help with the narrative, inspire group dynamics as plays trade, discard, give, etc. cards to each other when certain criteria are met. This plays into how each character grows and stresses as well.

This is some of the teaser art that shows off some of the choices players will have when creating their characters. These items tell stories and shape your character as players talk about them or use them in ways they see fit for the game.

A brainstorm sketch for the main city hub where this all takes place. In short there was a large scale war that made the land uninhabitable and due to things falling due to actions of the two major players, treaties were signed and a city in the mountain valley that was still habitable was built with the idea of letting the land heal. That was 20 years ago and it has since fallen into social economic disarray. As stated before, while being from a certain district would logically give a player more knowledge of the district and the people, there is no written in advantage of players from the richer districts. In the game, there will be a printable map for players to draw landmarks in each area and (much like the character creation) different choices of the people, rumors, conflicts, beliefs, and landmarks for each district (with the understanding that players are able to create their own as well)

These are just image teasers of the character art for the different types. Type 2 with the hearts, Type 3 with the Eye, and Type 1 with the Aetherbeam.

We just finished up the lore, major history player breakdowns, and about the different districts. Next is the NPC creation bit. We have also be creating playable journals. These Journals add a little bit of structure to the game for those nervous or new to the SRD, or for those who just like more structure. These have a basic plot, character goal, a map with the landmarks filled in, information about the people in each district, NPCs, and then blank lined pages for you and your group to tell the story. There is no written ending or path you should take. Think of it like an Open World Game. There's a end goal or mission, but do as many side quests as you want.
