realis party line up 👍 #friendsatthetable
A character line up of the second party from Realis. They are rendered in all black and white with heavy shadows. Fleming is man wearing a hat, glasses and long coat. His face is entirely obscured by shadow. Satcha is a very old woman wearing a shawl. She has very bent over posture and is using a walking stick. Jud is a young boy wearing ratty clothing. He looks very uneasy. finally Gaje is an enormous man who is several heads taller than the rest of the party. He has a weathered face, a short, square-ish beard, and wears a tattered cloak over his whole body.

Having fun going for a different aesthetic this season. Especially getting into Player characters.

Uncle Nicky starts every battle with the Berserk status, so keep Esuna on lock. #FriendsAtTheTable #Perpetua

any excuse to repost the greatest Tetris story ever, when a reporter went to cover early e-gaming championships and discovered that his wife was unknowingly *the world's greatest Tetris player* by a huge margin

Good morning. Today I have an essay running in the New York Times. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/o...
Opinion | Watching ‘Andor’ Is No Substitute for Actual Resistance
I have always found the praise for the show’s revolutionary politics to be at odds with the means of its production.

Happy #secretsamol! 💌
My gift for @jesscookie.bsky.social was for the prompt Chine and It participating in a dog competition - I got inspired by flying dog shows and so It gets to be a tangle of limbs 💫 Hope you enjoy 🐾

#friendsatthetable #🩸 @secretsamol.bsky.social
Chine and It (the beast baby) pictured in the dance of a frisbee-catching competition. They look to be having lots of fun as It jumps into the air to catch a gold frisbee. The sky behind them is red and yellow with many clouds and multiple suns. There's a sign behind them you only see a bit of, but it says 'Sangfielle Flying Dog Show'.

Second year of #secretsamol, second time making something about Lye Lychen. I honestly wouldn’t be mad if I got a Lyke prompt for the next several years.
A portrait of Lyke and Aterika’Kaal, characters from the podcast Friends at the Table, embroidered on a white handkerchief with a rose lace border. Lyke lovingly cradled a beaded felt rose bloom to his embroidered face as blood made of red beads drips from various points where its vines, made of braided embroidery thread, touch his neck and hand. One of the lace roses on the upper corner has been made to look like Aterika’Kaal’s spider form. It has a felt rose head and legs made out of the same braids as the vines. Rose vines are embroidered across the back, with the lines fading into a blood red near the bottom. A close up view of Lyke’s face that shows the embroidered and beaded details. A close up view of Aterika’Kaal’s face that shows the various materials used to create it, including felt, beads, braided embroidery thread, and the floral lace that forms its body. A close-up image of the rose border along the base of Lyke’s bust-style portrait. The roses are three dimensional and are made of red felt with green embroidered leaves.

Wahoo secsam 2024 piece one of two. I got a prompt from Samz for Fero and Mother Glory hanging out post Spring in Hieron and could not resist drawing Fero getting owned.

#secretsamol #secretsamol2024 #secsam #friendsatthetable
9 panel comic in monochromatic green of friends at the table characters Mother Glory and Fero Feritas. Panel 1: Mother Glory speaking to someone off screen "I don't get why you keep these bugs around when when all they seem to do is toss you on your ass." Panels 2 through 7: Fero pops in and out of frame from the right saying one word of a statement each time he appears, "That's - The- Fun-" Panel 8: Fero is launched across the panel, only his legs are visible he screams as he flies "PAAAAAAAAAAA-". Panel 9: Fero lays injured in the family death pose, Mother Glory and a giant angry beetle observe him. Fero completes his thought, "...part." Mother Glory says, "if you say so Fero..."

my @secretsamol.bsky.social gift for @aro-hawke.bsky.social : the prompt was for a fill-in-the-gap moment, so I painted Pickman as a teenager stuck 15 years on a Shape Train. I had a lot of fun not only painting for the first time in a while, but thinking about what the Train could've been like 🚂
A watercolor painting of the interior of a train car. The train car looks moderately fancy. A goat woman (Pickman) is sitting in a seat with her back to the window of the train. She looks over her shoulder grumpily while smoking a cigarette. Yellowed landscapes roll past her.
