We literally were down one panelist for the Game Trailer Microtalks panel because of the current political situation, and yet a few people were upset I mentioned the current political situation 😑 (I like the third comment, tho 😁)

Ash the dragonborn, The Dragonbane, The Devourer, The Red Demon, etc., etc. riding his loyal pony Firehoof the nightmare. Commission portrait of a lvl 20 dnd character! #dndart #dnd #commission #ttrpg #dragonborn

If you haven't read this one, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?? One of the hottest comics I've ever read! Soft, sensual, and captures that freewheeling DIY fun you make up when you don't have a big toy chest. Love seeing this come across my feed again! 💖

It is Sunday, so I figured I would go over what you can find from my #itchio page. I THINK these are in alphabetical order. First, Deathlock. Have you ever wanted to play a game about being and feeling trapped in a toxic relationship? Well, now you can. ylvanaar.itch.io/deathlock

Hello! As a player I often have trouble visualizing and remembering what is in my bag when playing #dnd5e, so I made illustrations of the items included in Explorer's Pack. You can find it at my ko-fi, if you are having similar issues in your games! ko-fi.com/s/ca985aa32a

Hey, if you play #dnd OR run it as a DM, you should definitely check this one out! This is one of the best products I've seen in visualizing the contents of Explorer's Pack, and a guaranteed good tool for actually REMEMBERING you have torches, a rope, and rations.

i keep seeing people say that LLMs are good at search. NO. WRONG. You have just forgotten how good search used to be. Google broke it's own flagship product, and so you are accepting a demented chatbot's half baked gishgallop because we no longer have functional web search.

i haven’t seen technology this forced on all of us in my life time. they’re trying to make it so we have no choice to use this shit

Nice

That look when someone says something so absolutely disgusting you cannot even

If you saw a thing going around about AI terms in SoundCloud's TOS, SoundCloud has responded in about the best way possible: They took the issue seriously, clarified exactly for what they use machine learning, and put strong anti-generative-AI terms into their NEW TOS, effective 10:30 ET last night:

Looks like I will be tabling at Ropecon this year! Getting my products in order, but it does seem like all I need to order is prints, some sticker sheets, annnd... the first physical copy of Brand of Gold (featuring Prologue and Chapter 1)! Exciting times <3

Oh, it's #webcomicday? Brand of Gold is an urban fantasy story (or a DnD AU retelling, whichever you'd like to read it as) about a modern world where magic is coming to life again. Why? How? And what's the drama? Read to find out ;) tapas.io/series/Brand-of-Gold/

Oh no, I almost missed #webcomicday with my con-hangover! Here's my humble little dark fantasy story with some horror, sad elvishness and angry demon cats, shapeshiftings, earthquakes and riveting literary review! #webcomics #fantasycomic

For people who play this, I always offer a pact; If you tell me what you THINK it was about, I will tell you what it WAS about. (And then you can proceed to go recommend it to others so that you can be the one to reveal the plot twist to them.) So if you have played it - the pact is open!

I have decided that I am taking some commissions; - 2 Half Body - 2 Sketches - 1 Character sheet Further information and prices can be found in my Ko-Fi, linked below. For now, I accept Paypal only, but I'm looking into addiotional payment methods. ko-fi.com/lynbaccha/co...

Sunday, what a wonderful day to play a 5-minute little experience to make you contemplate existence and tradition. ylvanaar.itch.io/hunger #indiegames

I'm currently abandoning a lot of services which have - in one form or another - forced AI on me as a form of "this will improve your experience". No, it will not improve my experience, it is intended to collect data from me I am not willing to give. The upside is that I'm still left with enough.

It's all fun and games until it has to be fun and a game

YIKES @soundcloud.dev no thank you

applying for jobs again

If you're into something that has graphics instead of just text, Nox Dies might be your thing! It's a game about sacrifice with an allegory of addiction. The tagline summarizes it pretty well. ylvanaar.itch.io/nox-dies #indiegames

We should remaster the entire games industry.

Since the campaign has started, the doodles have started as well! Izar and his party. We got one additional player after the party shot was finished, I'm working on a whole comic page specifically about Izar and Elena's conversation. 🌸 #dnd #oc #party

I, uh, also have a RedBubble. In case someone uses the site? Sixwingstore.redbubble.com

My little webcomic updated today! "Spring" continues <3 tapas.io/episode/3516...

It has a draft site on itchio now. This time I don't think I'll publish it until next spring so you don't get to view the early stages of development live, but I'm also thinking... Some sort of.. restricted Early Access? Maybe? For Beta readers?

Itch.io is also invaluable for being able to independently release digital comics in this era, doubly so for adult comics. I recommend the service to everybody looking to publish theirs, there's nothing else like it now. I dread the day itch goes under by malicious operators

I genuinely am not sure where to social-media-market my art. X is awful. Instagram doesn't even let you browse tags so what is the POINT of that platform? Tumblr seems to be for fanart. I don't do well on video format, pictures and words are more my thing. Have some #wipart for your trouble.

In case you were wondering if this was the big game project I said I would be writing after Said The Stars - no. The big project started today. It will come out in March 2026. #interactivefiction

I’m just about sick of correcting terminology, especially “trauma bonding”.
