Had a couple of conversations yesterday at Indie Game about how poorly things are getting promoted these days. It's pretty obvious that Twitters collapse is to blame. How many industries did Musk set back with his idiocy

Being a good DM means knowing you have the power to say "and then the town was overrun by gorrilas and everyone died the end" and having the restraint not to say it

Hey Bluesky. Need to make a little map? Here's a 4(ish) step way to do that with Affinity Designer. Using the node tool to make the town, the vector brush tool to draw 'roads', and the shape builder tool, to create little pockets in town you can color to highlight important areas. alt for details.

I made a little thing for this, partially for Tiny World Jam which I think is cool; partially because I needed to not think too hard about things this week; and partially because I wanted an excuse to mess around with isometric digital illustration. Enjoy Vulcan Station.

Still working on Skulls Without Number. Good progress on character creation so far, but I still have to put together a character sheet and touch up the ship system.

One of my longest-running jobs was working on Six Ages, which left an indelible mark on how i approach my own work - and filled my brain and hard drive with a million wonderful bronze-age references that are still leaking out into my drawings to this day

SOLARCRAWL: Let's talk rockets The game orbits around the Homeworld. Your planet is dying, and your people have put everything they have to spare into their space program, in hope of finding answers on other worlds. The memorial wall on the sheet back indicates how dangerous this will be. 1/4

New blogpost: how to write opening crawls for Star Wars sessions. TL;DR: 1. What do the players want, and how are they being challenged? 2. What just happened last session? 3. What is happening now? 4. Don't elaborate. Evoke with adjectives. 5. Trim to 90 words.
