Cooking up new schemes and secrets for Retrograde...

There is still time to send zines!! Send us your zines to be donated to libraries around the nation to found new zine libraries! Your zines will be seen & enjoyed by thousands of library workers at @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social’s Annual Conference and will become an important part of

My dream as a #TTRPG designer is to make a ruleset that runs entirely on vibes and yet, like, works It's so obviously impossible I kinda wanna try it

colour and texture, in different forms to suit each project. stained glass, retro graphics, banner and spooky! :-) 9 of coins, tarot project Greasy Spoon card art for New Mill industries Prequel tapestry art for upcoming ttrpg The Rider, The Ride, The Rich Man's wife art for Premee Mohamed novella

This is the best team crossover video I've ever seen.

Feeling really grateful this morning for the collective power that’s allowed me to make Retrograde the way I have. Crowdfunding makes it possible for me to put in the time, effort, and cost that Retrograde needs, and my energy has really been fueled by being a part of awesome creative collectives.

Been a busy, busy day o' printing but very proud to say: printing for 3 out of 4 Retrograde zines is DONE!! Now onto Overprint, which will be my big experiment with color this time around – but that will be another day's task. Now, I nap 😴

All of @shoutingcrow.bsky.social's bookbinding posts got stuck in my head, so I made this. (Not perfect, but definitely good enough for folks to have a nose through at UKGE -- it's a home printout of the free quickstart for Asher's Ridge)

πŸ¦– 116/150 in my #Indie #TTRPG starter pack! πŸ¦– How about for this #TTRPGThursday, we try to hit capacity in this bad boi? Check the pack, if you're already in here, share, tag & recommend some creators who should be! If you're not already in here, let me know why you should be! (No AI!)

Today was my last day in the letterpress shop for a bit – Retrograde's covers are all printed! Retrograde truly is my greatest creative undertaking so far, and I'm so proud of how these turned out. Now onto risograph printing the interiors! #printmaking #zines #ttrpg #letterpress

Can't believe Zine Quest ended less than 2 weeks ago – it both feels like it just happened and feels like it was ages ago. But the Retrograde fun is just beginning – I've been hard at work with revisions for The Librarian's Index and starting work on some new sketches too! #WIPWednesday

Another Friday morning in the print shop – step 1 of printing The Bone Record zines complete! It's hard to see in the picture, but the ink is a dark purple mixed with a bit of silver and gold for a nice platinum-metallic look 😎 #printmaking #letterpress #ttrpgart

Celestial Bodies is now crowdfunding on kickstarter! Harvest the bodies of dead gods in deep space in this GMless tactical mecha RPG.

Retrograde has FUNDED!! πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰ Here's the postcard our backers will be getting as part of their pledges, fresh off the press – managed to print both plates today! Can't wait for next few months in the print shop getting our zines ready for y'all :)

Less than 2 hours left of Retrograde's #Zinequest campaign (!!!) Be a part of the first print run of this crazy awesome science-fantasy retrofuturist tabletop-roleplaying game of blood, ink, and occult printmaking! It's not too late to back – help us cross the finish line! πŸš€πŸ’₯ kck.st/3Ej2B4U

Tomorrow, Retrograde's Kickstarter will cross the finish line – but the fun's just getting started 😎 I'll be in the print shop tomorrow morning, celebrating by printing the first plate for everyone's postcard! Here's the mockup – should have some pics of the first plate for ya tomorrow :)

Retrograde is the biggest project I've ever undertaken, and the work I'm most proud of yet. It's meant so much to me to see folks energized by the world of Retrograde and the prints I've been making for it. It's all coming together in a really beautiful way, and I can't wait to share it with you!

We're officially in the last 24 hours of Retrograde's #Zinequest campaign! It's your last chance to explore a cosmos driven by blood, ink, and occult printmaking – grab 4 sick TTRPG zines printed with letterpress covers and risograph interiors! kck.st/3Ej2B4U #ttrpg #zines #printmaking

This #WIPWednesday, I want to share with y'all a big work in progress: community building. With Retrograde's Kickstarter almost over, I'm thinking about how I got Retrograde to where it is today, the future of my work, and the community I want to help create. open.substack.com/pub/nathanie...

Another excellent and useful article by @explorersdesign.bsky.social about the work that makes play matter. www.explorersdesign.com/gaming-commu... #ttrpg #rpg #dnd #5e #osr #ttrpgcommunity

Exciting moment when the Kickstarter page switches from days to hours πŸ‘€ There's only 3 days (71 hours!) left of Retrograde's #Zinequest campaign – here's your chance to explore a universe of blood, ink, and occult printmaking! www.kickstarter.com/projects/stu...

It's #printpromptmonday! Sharing one of my favorite recent linocuts – "Blood Comet" The theme for this week is #inmotion, and I'm super excited to share a piece that wound up as an illustration for Retrograde! #printmaking #linocut #ttrpgart

Growing Thylacine was written to be a camping trip game, a 50% attendance games night game. It’s no prep, self contained, and approachable for a first roleplaying game. Only 8 hours left to back it, funding now for ZineMonth / ZineQuest! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sun...
