Artemis' Armour Design by Sasha Wood Hopps
#DnD #DungeonsAndDragons #ttrpg #character #characterart #art #digitalart #dndart
The image depicts a character with long, red braided hair, wearing a blend of medieval and fantasy-inspired attire. The character is dressed in a light blue tunic with a high collar, layered over a green plaid kilt, which is a traditional Scottish garment. A green cloak is draped over the shoulders, adding to the medieval aesthetic. The character is equipped with a large, ornate sword with a brown hilt, suggesting a warrior or knightly role. The character's right arm is protected by a white armored gauntlet, while the left arm is bare. A necklace with a feather pendant hangs around the neck, adding a touch of personal style. The character's stance is confident, with one hand on the hilt of the sword, and the other hand relaxed at the side. The background is plain white, focusing attention on the character.

Is there a study on spiral staircases ergonomy?
I am wondering wich of these two shapes is more ergonomic, if there is any difference at all.
I have resigned as a reviewer for the Royal Society. I encourage others to do the same.
Dear editors,
Today I saw some news about the Royal Society which made me very uncomfortable. As a result, I am afraid I will withdraw my voluntary reviewing work for Royal Society. I will not after all be completing this review for Royal Society Open Science.

Feels like it took forever to get here and the pricing for sure hurt, but I finally got a 2TB M4 Mini upgrade drive.
Difficulty level felt pretty similar to a Mini 2018 RAM upgrade, no WiFi antenna cable to deal with, but removing bottom cover is a little nerve wracking and there's some extra small screws holding the power button.
Yeah, most of the people I know who snapped the plug tried unseating it. It's a weird connector.
And if they put the power button in a logical place on the front or back, it would be a non issue!
All's well that ends well. I have a 4TB upgrade set to go into my M4 Pro, just need a couple hours to do it...

"Art is to take a big, numinous, irreducible feeling that fills the artist's mind, and attempt to infuse that feeling into some artistic vessel – a book, a painting, a song, a dance, a sculpture, etc – in the hopes that this work will cause a loose facsimile of that numinous, irreducible feeling to manifest in someone else's mind."

Can recommend libredirect for automatically taking care of that kind of stuff, see libredirect.github.io/

This book has far too many poems for my liking - they are far too much of a hassle for me to translate. However, they are easily skippable.
Other than that, a major focus of the folk tales in this book seem to be religious stories - the founding of churches and monasteries, stories behind church ornaments and relics, and so forth. I'm not sure if this is was the planned focus for the first book in this series (there are two further volumes), or if this continues throughout of the collection.
I could easily fill an entire book with tales about churches and monasteries from all over Germany. However, I'm not sure how popular such a collection would be - presumably, most fans of folk tales are more interested in tales of supernatural creatures, magic and the like. Thus, it's probably best if I tackle this kind of topic later, once I have already made a name for myself.
