Creating violent tulpas to get through the 9-5.

New stock art uploaded to my dtrpg store. Please see links in bio #ttrpgart #dndart

If the goal of an RPG quickstart is to serve a representational slice of the experience being sold, I truly don't know what to make of the Fallen London RPG. A mix of independently fascinating systems with no connective tissue and little of Failbetter's charm on display.

The skull points the way. This hand-drawn skull & fungi compass rose is available for personal and commercial use on my Patreon. www.patreon.com/posts/licens... #ttrpg #cartography #osr #dnd #art

going thru early submissions for the #tittyrpgjam! I'll be posting about some of them as we approach the deadline!! Violent Femmes (and Mascs) by @deadgirlgames.bsky.social features cathartic violence vs fascists AND a stress system that requires you fuck a willing partner to prevent debuffs!!

Trying something a little different from my usual style for the Imaginary Card Jam. Also challenging myself to do this entirely in InDesign and Photoshop.

I just find this grid to be such an excellent way to say "I want to explore this, but there's a difference between as a FUN thing vs as a RISKY thing."

One of my favourite thoughtful animated web shows is funding a 3rd season. If you haven't heard of People Watching and you like the stuff I do, I highly recommend it. www.indiegogo.com/projects/peo...

If you’ve got $10 you can get the PDF of “Resistance is Required.” If we can get 150 people with $10, I can fund this book easily! And I KNOW there are 150 people out there who want to play a game about (and LEARN about) overthrowing fascism! #ttrpg #tabletop #rpg #resist

Did someone say Pokemon?

Folks, imma need you to be kind to TTRPG and board game producers trying to fulfill Kickstarters this year. Production inflation, shipping inflation, AND tariffs are perfect storming hell for their physical products. It's going to be a mess. People will have to ask for extra money. Be mindful.

One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was to put a symbol or mark when you are trying to use a specific phrase or word, as that won’t break the flow of writing.

A quick look at pricing models on Crowdfundr 👀 ➡️ Optional Tips - you only pay Stripe/PayPal fees and we ask your supporters for a tip. If they tip, we get paid. If they don’t tip, we still charge you nothing. 1/3 🧵

TROLLS 🧌🏜️🐪 The shoggri in the soils of desert trolls seem to morph and change the desert around them, causing sand to buzz and levitate slightly over where they have walked, and their aching howls seem to shimmer. #indiegames #indiepublishing #daylitesystem Art by @beaniecapprints.bsky.social
