I'll be reccing D&DC on Fanart_recs this November

This month, I'm signed up to recommend Dungeons & Dragons cartoon fanart on fanart_recs. The other signed-up monthly reccer (doing Baldur's Gate 3) already posted today, so I'll wait until at least tomorrow to post my first rec (min 4, max 8, in a month; I have 6 planned).

If you're interested in D&DC and/or fanart, come play!

(Of course I'll post a round-up here when it's done, too.)

Addendum, Thursday morning: My first rec for this project is up.
