You remember Morrigan, my D&D 5e gunslinger character and a trick shootist with the Witchlight Carnival? I’ve been noodling around with these diabolical new AI image generation tools, trained by maliciously exploiting the work of countless artists with no compensation or parity, because I have no conscience.

Clobberin’ Time – Leviticus 18:22, 20:13 – Dark Chocolate Book

Today’s Chocolate: Alter Eco Classic Blackout Today’s Passage: Leviticus 18:22, 20:13 I took a mental health hiatus from my Bible study blog, Chocolate Book, in October of 2018. I’d been making my way through Exodus, and once or twice I’ve tried to resume where I left off, but couldn’t write the post. So, instead, today we’re hopping … Read more

Back in 2019, I started teaching myself Hebrew using Duolingo. Some of the sentences were so absurd, I started taking note of the most ridiculous examples (e.g. “I am a mushroom”) and illustrating them in Far-Side-style one-panel comics. I intended to see if Duolingo was interested in purchasing them for serial publication or use in … Read more

Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition: Gunslinger Character Portrait

This week a friend of mine is starting up a new D&D campaign. And because I am a control freak who wants to make sure everyone has the correct mental image of my character, I drew my character. This is Morrigan, a 19-year-old exhibition shootist who has been traveling with the Witchlight Carnival. She has … Read more
