Love seeing the influx of new folks here! As for introductions, we're a two-people indie TTRPG studio: Anna and Jakub. You might already know us from our series of natural-world inspired Herbalist's Primer and Geologist's Primer, and a collection of illustrated quest idea decks, Wayfarer's Decks!

The common loon (called here a great northern diver) is the state bird of Minnesota. It's a symbol of healing and transformation.
In a folktale "The Blind Boy and the Loon," a blind child living with an abusive guardian has their sight restored by a kind bird. See firstarts.ca/content/feat...

The people making journals out of my artwork are back.
UNLESS YOU BUY A JOURNAL/PRINT DIRECTLY FROM ME AT A CON (or on my etsy store in past years when it was open) IT IS S T O L E N
if you see my art for sale on an etsy/redbubble/private shop, it's STOLEN.

What keeps me working in hard moments is the thought that once I get to invertebrates, I will be free to tell y'all about the great potato beetle invasion of 1950, in which Americans secretly dropped an army of potato beetles upon Poland to destroy our economy. Or so our then-government said.

Some advice for protesting while autistic
1. Prepare in advance
Watch footage you find so you get an idea of what's going on and things you might have to deal with. Learn who the organizers are & what the goals are. Learn what the strategies are. Talk them through with your buddy. Prepare mentally.

Do you like Mountains?
I compiled 32 of them into a booklet and it's available on my patreon behind a $3 paywall (that's just $2.50 back in 2021!)

Spent today dealing with broken InDesign -- turns out it's Windows' fault (of course). In case you're having the same troubles:, uninstall the update:
"Windows 11 update KB5074109 (January 2026), is causing major InDesign issues, leading to file corruption, save failures, and errors." (via Reddit)

The Reassembulation Will Be Messy
I’m reassembulating wizardthieffighter.com on a different platform, in a different format and style. This reassembulation will be messy. Most links will die. The seodaemons will not be appeased. Not all pages will make it.

Hey, just so you know, I'm putting together a sample of the bird book and agonizing over which birds to put on the cover... So, consider this a free call for your favorites! 🐦⬛

"This is a hobby of makers" resonates with my growingly informed opinions on RPGs for the last 5 years.
RPGs are not an industry. Every project is a passion; the results of success would be unequal to the reward, if not also for the fact that it *satisfies* a deep need in the maker.

And for the last thing, I want you to state to state this clearly.
I mean no sleight to zines or ashcans or whatever else, and if anything, they underscore this point.
This is a hobby of makers.
OF COURSE we want to make beautiful, awesome things.

Right. I hardly ever ask for anything, but this is the year I say 'what the hell' and go for it. On all the social platforms I have ever been on, I've never broken a few hundred followers and you know what? I think my artwork is as good as accounts with thousands. I'm wishing for 1k by xmas 😂

Today is a pretty standard day at our house/studio: Jakub is researching chicken folklore, I'm drawing the chunkiest possible northern cardinal.
It's not flashy or aspirational - just a day of steady, consistent work. That's how big projects are made.
Enjoy the birb.
