Boundless Space: Making the scary monsters of the Eridani Belt today. I'm thinking that space combat will be much like normal conflict in Boundless, but with the addition of vast space ranges, multiple actions for a crewed ship, and of course, torpedoes and boarding!

And now it's raining & the air smells deliciously of creosote. What a great week to write.
Sitting on the patio writing for my campaigns & home-brewing new player options, it doesn't get more delicious than that.

Hey, I got an idea for a really fun group activity...
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action
Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.

We all agree this is maybe our best episode yet. Also definitely the ugliest sobbing Rosalind has ever done.

Surgery completed. Obstruction and appendix removed. No bowel resection needed. Best outcome possible, basically. Now for long slow recovery.

His Majesty the Worm is an excellent #ttrpg take on dungeon crawling. I can't say enough positive things about it, its design, its flavour, and its approach to poking around in mythic underworlds. I'd love to get it to the table some day for a campaign. It also has an excellent magic system.
Mothership Month? Mausritter Month? Gosh, everyone's been busy!
We've been running a Monster Mash jam on the Worm Discord server! Lots of folks joining together to make a BEASTIARY for HIS MAJESTY THE WORM.

No, using AI generated stuff as a "placeholder" on your crowdfunding campaign is not OK either.
If the visuals are THAT important to getting your project funded, then you need to pay a person up front for those key visuals and deliver a consistent end product to your backers.
