1 in 12 Americans live in California. 1 in 35 Americans live in LA County. LA is America

BREAKING The President of California’s largest union has been detained during an ICE raid.

I don’t do much translation anymore but has the pleasure of getting to translate this awesome retelling of the making of Star Wars! Really excited to have a copy for myself and see it out in the world when it’s released (September 16th!)!

It's been one month since the release of SPECTACULA - my solo gladiator RPG featuring awesome trick-taking combat! bardlight.itch.io/spectacula The project has just been updated to v1.1 featuring a few rules clarifications and other minor tweaks to make the game easier (and faster) to learn! Enjoy!

This is another standalone Promotion for WWWRPG (like Warlock Pro, but covering a whole different side of wrestling). It adds Athletic Backgrounds to character creation, rules for bringing your Favored Foreign Object into the ring, and the context of performing for crowds that care about Sport!

One of my old Warhammer shorts somehow picked up nearly 64k views when I wasn't looking... What the hell lol

PAINT YOUR MINIS BEFORE BUYING MORE!!! Sorry just had to remind myself.

@dairykillsme.bsky.social Hey! I just tumbled onto Thieves of the Tome and it looks super rad! Really creative concept! Hoping to get the chance to play it sometime :)

Today Dice Exploder joins the Many Sided Network, a new podcast network centered around rpg shows. Very excited to be on a network with shows like Talk of the Table, Tales Yet Told, and a bunch of other great shows!

Haven't shared this Starter Pack in a while. Almost 150 creators of solo and GM-less TTRPGs. #TTRPG #SoloRPG #FollowFriday

btw if you're so petrified of doing a bad job that you can't even start, then what you need isn't advice on how to make comics. you need to learn to embrace being messy and bad at things and being okay with that because it's necessary, and actually it's GOOD. being messy is WONDERFUL

RIP Peter David. One of the greats, and a major inspiration to me when I got started writing comics. His book “How to Write Comics and Graphic Novels” was one of the first I read, and one of the most helpful, and his X-Factor and Hulk runs were masterclasses. He will be missed.

Gonna kick off Rogue Trader tonight finally! What should I order for dinner? Thematically appropriate answers only.

Trying again for the evening crowd!

After launching SPECTACULA on Itch over 2 weeks ago we're finally indexed & searchable there! If you see this, could you repost to help spread the word about the best (only) solo trick-taking gladiator RPG around? bardlight.itch.io/spectacula

🚨 NEW TRAILER DROP 🚨 We just dropped a new trailer for Rogue Eclipse as a part of Six One Indie! - Think Starfox x Armoured Core - Tight controls - Customize & master your starfighter - Take on merciless armadas - Roguelike structure - Destructible environments - Story with a full voice cast!

Been so underwater with work I didn't even realized the Pokémon World Championship was in Anaheim this year. Would've loved to go to spectate for a day!

@spenserstarke.bsky.social Congrats on the Daggerheart launch!!!

Tinkering away at a gathering system for a sci-fi solo RPG I'm working on... Have any favorite gathering/crafting systems?

Hey! The new episode of our YouTube show is starting now! JIM LEE PART TWO! We’re watching it live and chatting. Come hang out. youtu.be/sv7TjH3vJbE?...

I counted up that we got rejected by 50+ publishers today, it has been a TOUGH. FEW. YEARS. If we get funded in under 24 hours????? No words. Absolutely no words

Look, just make things that mean something to *YOU* that help you understand *YOURSELF* That’s why you make art. The rest of it is meaningless.

Two weeks since launch and you still can't find Spectacula on the itch store without a direct link :( No answer from support either...

Skywriting over LA this morning (literally just watched it)

Never seen a better advertisement for cutting off your parents than Taylor's family in ep 2 in Mormon wives.

Love it when a design comes together!

Ah yes, the inevitable urge to work on something else besides what I'm actually finishing at the moment

Now that my impeccable taste in comics has been validated with ✨four Eisner noms:✨ How about we get "That Sexy Bear!" over the line on Kickstarter? :V Just a WEEK remains for it to fund, and we're 83% of the way there! Give this weird comic a chance! www.kickstarter.com/projects/iro...

GOP plans to increase the tax rate by 74% by 2031 for people earning $15,000 yearly.

not sure I'm emotionally ready to read all my pals' Polygon eulogies at the moment, but I wanted to say on here that I can't thank Nathan and Aftermath enough for putting this piece together (and for quoting from my blurb in the dek lol)
