I saw someone talking about the forge and how GNS had been "debunked". Everything that mattered about The Forge has been mainstream RPG orthodoxy for over 20 years.

I remember The Forge as the place where everyone agreed that RPGs could be better and wanted to work out how. That it was OK if an RPG was a bit different and to push those boundaries. It's a bit depressing when I hear people talking about it like it's a defeated enemy that could return any moment.

Random RPG pitch: You're people with nothing in common except you're all being hunted by the same weirdo. Phase 1: Earn XP from strife among the group. Phase 2: Spend XP to make plans/gather resources. Phase 3: Confront and defeat or escape the weirdo.

A random mechanic idea I love but have never had an opportunity to deploy: Rolling 2d6 on a table with SEVEN entries. You get the outcomes for both numbers rolled. On a double you get that number (eg, 4&4 = 4) and the 7th entry as your second.

Impressed at other people's productivity but I refuse to feel daunted.

Matt Wallace - Rencor: Life in Grudge City Three generations of luchador blood rivalry and a mummy! Treats these masked crime-fighting wrestlers with a tasteful dignity. There’s a poignant sense of faded glory, even as it revels in the absurdity.

Penny dreadful -> Guinea foul. Is that anything?

Got my scratch-built moon crew painted! I promise I do thin my paints, but some of those old paints have gone a bit lumpy and need to be disposed of. But the results look ok from a distance maybe.

Looking at old stuff. These are still two of my favourite demon designs I made.

Emily Tesh - The Incandescent Modern magic school from the teacher's PoV. In the first third she runs through an arc that could have been a book by itself, and just keeps going. Best book I've read this year. Maybe last year too.

I forgot about some of these. Past me did ok sometimes.

Sometimes I miss Team Fortress 2. Still pleased with this spray I made 15 years ago. The coloured bit of the character faces were transparent in-game so whatever surface I sprayed it on showed through. Can't find the original with a distressed background instead of a flat colour.

I've no interest in making a Dragonball RPG. But if I did, the thing would entirely revolve around losing fights to the baddie in order to gain XP, and spending it by training. With supporting characters taking over while you train.

One day I will come back to this and compile all my notes and art for it into an actual game. In the meantime I'm still quite fond of the logo. (repost because the transparent PNG played poorly with Bluesky's dark background)

Reading a book about a wizard school that IMMEDIATELTY set itself in front of the pack by being from the perspective of the teachers. Greatly enjoying it so far. (Emily Tesh - The Incadescent)

In Breath of the Wild I liked how the korok puzzles were just there to add a little interactivity and discovery to the world. A fun experience with no external reward. Only later learned I'd bypassed a key early NPC, and completed the game with an unupgraded inventory.

This is good stuff btw. straightforward and good-hearted action-fantasy comic fare. Reads like something out of time - like a comic you remember reading when you were 10.

Sometimes I'm really frickin' glad I've never done anything creative for an actual living. My thoughts are with everyone living the precarious dream.

I suppose I'll have to put some paint on them next. They'll need sealing first of course. Because they're wood.

And these three were a total pain in the arse to make. Getting the arms lined up alone, let alone balancing the weight of the pose. Originally planned to have them with hollow head/bodies like the big guy, but the little bead heads just gave them so much personality.

And a snakey-boy. I didn't make all these at once. They were sitting waiting for my modelling putty to arrive before I could put the finishing touches on.

Heavily inspired by @jaesekki.bsky.social 's sinew golem. Though I ended up going in a different direction through whims and my own artistic limits.

Trying to make something on purpose is the hardest thing. Because the result always falls so short of my intention. But then when I lean into those flaws, I find new possibilities I'd never considered. And it feels like a betrayal of the original idea but it looks so much better and-
