Merry Solstice! Today marks the shortest day and longest night so I thought it would be the perfect day to share my finished Mari Lwyd mask. I’m over the moon with how she turned out. 🔔

The day job was really getting to me this afternoon, so I decided to write a look back on 2025 and how it has been as Three Sails Studios.

It ran longer than I expected, but maybe you'll find it helpful/interesting/distracting.

This is a beautiful example of how games can help us get through impossibly hard times. Sometimes it’s enough to make a game only for yourself.
I've been so corrupted by game design that it's the first thing I turn to when I'm going through something bad. Here's a video about that (and a game for the TTRPG bookmark jam) youtu.be/mklN6GgVkKM?...

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Do you have a band? Particularly (perhaps) in the (loosely defined) synth/medieval/metal/vaguely post-punk/folk/indie-jam vibes?
I think my art style lends itself pretty well to shirts and covers. If you think it could be a fit (no pun intended, but probably rather intended) 🤷‍♂️

Tabletop designers such as @byodinsbeardrpg.com are making a habit out of post-convention transparency through post-mortem reports. Their hope is to inspire others and turn event tabling into a science.
