@Spellburn your pod has disappeared from Spotify. Might that come back?

It's been precisely one month since I was laid off. I can't believe it's gone that fast.

@IScreamDice You're a kind man Marc. And a delight to have at my table!

Darren is honestly one of the best DM's I've ever played with. Read the article, peep the sweet minis he paints and throw some love his way. #dnd

I've written an article blaming #dnd for my successes in business. In it, I mention the great work @YESSorg and @levelupyeg are doing. As well as unsubtly showing off @IScreamDice in the photos. ☺️ Check out my cool new venture! - - - #yeg @JamesIntrocaso @GametoGrow

Anybody in #yeg or @CityofEdmonton know a source to learn about when different local trees tend to drop their seeds and leaves?

Working up a star-league Battlemaster with 331st Royal insignia. Should there be other insignia on this beyond 331 and the star? #battletech @catalystgamelab @bpardoe870 @Flyingdebrisguy With a flat green scheme I find myself wanting more details for visual interest.

@IScreamDice @RunAGame @greenleafgeek @TalonClaw2 @FlintlocksDnD @arishaecreation If people started asking me I might find a solution. I've shared raw audio of the next unpublished episode with a couple fans who asked me. I like to make people happy. But so far no one has been asking.

@dsteelegm @RunAGame @greenleafgeek @TalonClaw2 @FlintlocksDnD @arishaecreation Damn. And there's nowhere you can upload them? Or has it simply not been remotely a priority?

I just want to say thank you to everyone that's ordered, shared, liked my self promo post. It means a ton to me. I want to keep my business going and also respect that not everyone is going to have steady income, much less disposable income, in this weird time. Thank you. 🧡

My wife has taken up fostering animals with Second Chance Animal Rescue Society. Here is our latest beautiful foster. So awesome to have extra buddies for isolation time. #Yeg

@IScreamDice @RunAGame @greenleafgeek @TalonClaw2 @FlintlocksDnD @arishaecreation They were up for a while. But the hosting company wants more $ eventually.

@dsteelegm @RunAGame @greenleafgeek @TalonClaw2 @FlintlocksDnD @arishaecreation Oh, I knew you were done with new episodes but I thought the rest were still available. And yes, I can only imagine that relief.

@IScreamDice @RunAGame @greenleafgeek @TalonClaw2 @FlintlocksDnD @arishaecreation Monsieur! Shadows of Pindus is no longer online! I shuttered it this year. I'm a bit sad not to have finished, but relieved to not have the heavy production schedule.

@RunAGame @greenleafgeek Good to know. 🧡 May I recommend: @TalonClaw2 for beautiful, fairly priced dice vaults. @FlintlocksDnD for a wonderful, funny, genuine podcast. @dsteelegm's Shadow's of Pindus podcast for something a bit grittier and unique. @arishaecreation for chain maille dice bags.

@HecatinaStudio You have made the most of those large featureless panels. I like this very much.

So, is our provincial health minister Tyler Shandro's wife a co-founder of a private healthcare insurance provider? That seems... super fishy. vitalpartnersinc.com/about-us #yeg #AbLeg

Omg. Turns out Health Minister Tyler Shandro is part owner of private health insurance corporation “Vital Partners” and his wife Andrea Shandro is co-founder/principal! Using his day job to decimate public health care so his private co. can capitalize on privatization. #ableg

It's a crazy big piece! I'll leave it for a few days and see how I feel.

After getting the video of the Blackstone Fortress box all done together I decided to take some nice individual pics of the minis all based and done! So here is my fave mini from the box first; Espern Locarno :)

In line at alberta works. Laid off without warning and owed back pay. I'm terrified. #yeg

My hobgoblin mercs are coming along, but I'm not happy with the hair. Willing to go with a different color entirely. Suggestions? #miniaturepainting #dnd

State of the Darren: Here is the summary. Shadows of Pindus is dead. I'm sad but relieved. I'm laid off. Sad, not relieved. I'm getting way better at miniature painting. Hurray! I love my friends and family. But... everyone I know is having a hard time. Yikes.

@sarapolton just got laid off! Lots of imagination games with my 4 year old. Miniature painting when I can. Using my library's online resources to upgrade skills.

Who out there is social distancing, and what are you doing to fill the time?
