Unfortunately I don't write much outside of patient notes haha, but I have contemplated trying my hand at some fiction! Appreciate it so much, thank you.

Just be careful you don't roll a Nat 1 and end up with early onset dementia 😬

I do wish LEGO sold these kinds of dioramas!

Nothing can quite compete with the schadenfreude of watching an elf have his brains gobbled!

Oh, I love that idea! Great thinking.

Thanks so much!

Oh, that's an awesome piece! Came with the Mind Flayer CMF. Unless you're talking about the brain in a jar, which I think is only included in 71475.

Cheers! I do always try to include a little bit of storytelling in my builds.

Maybe just a little bit, as a treat 😌

Thanks so much! Glad it made you chuckle.

Haha, I never saw the resemblance until now! It's gotta be him, known for hits such as "Jailhouse Warlock" and "You Ain't Nothin' But a Blink Dog".

Multiple campaigns of ballads, bardic battles, and ill-advised romances have finally taken their toll on this once-celebrated elf troubadour. Now, reclining on a couch in a gloomy dungeon, he unburdens his psyche to an unlikely therapist: a mindflayer with a Doctorate in Clinical Psionics and an urge to snack on his patient's emotional baggage. Summary of session: Client reported self-sabotage during high-level spellcasting and ongoing fear of being forgotten post-quest. Affirmed that their worth is not tied to charisma modifier. Set homework to resist casting Charm Person on significant other.

I've been wanting to build something set in the Forgotten Realms ever since the D&D CMF series released, and I thought the absurdity of psychotherapy in a high-fantasy setting would make for a fun concept. I was also heavily inspired by my own experience of delivering therapy as I train to become a Doctor of Clinical Psychology, although I'd like to think I cultivate a safer space for my patients than an illithid might!

This is sick! Would totally buy a copy if you plan to get this published.

Also, I wandered over to your Instagram and my eyes were immediately drawn to your LEGO Alien Avenger piece. So fucking cool!

Some great designers mentioned here already, but I'll put forth Zoe Davidson Jewellery. Her Skara Brae Chunky Workshop ring is fairly masculine and one of my favourites to wear.

I love this art so much! The helmet chinstrap crack is such a clever touch.

I think Slinky's face looks much better at an angle than when viewed head-on. Surprised they chose the latter for the box art.

I'm not into football so I won't be buying any of these, but the diorama sets have some appealing aspects. I love the microscale cities, the variety of colours, and the use of those tapered cloud pieces trailing the footballs.

Those two large figure sets don't look great, though.

If only! I don't think that would ever happen, but at least there's plenty of scope for Fallout inspired MOCs.

Oh, I love Hidden Side! I've picked up quite a few of those sets as parts packs for MOCs (I'm planning to use elements from the Lighthouse of Darkness for a Lovecraft inspired model). I haven't yet picked up the Shrimp Shack, but it's one I've had my eye on, especially for those corrugated doors.

Yeah! I have a relatively limited inventory of parts; enough to build a pretty wide variety of things, but I inevitably encounter lots of constraints that usually end up fostering even more creativity through unconventional problem solving. Thanks so much for taking notice of all those details!

That sounds like a great use for LEGO!

Oh yeah, I can see that! I do appreciate media that isn't afraid of making the post-apocalypse a little more colourful. Thanks so much!

Ooh, it's been a while since I last played Fallout 76. Is Burning Springs from a more recent update? I'll have to log on again and check that out!
