I’m looking for someone who knows their way around InDesign, has a passion for the hobby, and would be up for taking some layouts off me for Secret Passages issue 3 and – if we both have a lovely time – beyond.

If that sounds like you, DM me!

Proud to say that seeing Tiny Library for the first time at Dragonmeet 2 years ago inspired Litter, Detective! which is now one of the stretch goals to be included in Tiny Tome 3!

October has been the biggest month of my life and I'd love this full circle moment to be part of it.

Get it 4 xmas?! 👀

One page games can be fun romps and artistic explorations of the edge of the medium, but they are cost prohibitive to print and distribute -- which is why the Tiny Tome series by @long-tail-games.bsky.social is so great for both designers and players. And one of my games is in here! 🤩

This guide really is COMPREHENSIVE.

If this topic remotely intersects with your work you should give it a read, this is such a valuable resource.
TTRPG creators, there are innumerable reasons, and a nigh indescribable bliss to be found, if you dare learn to draw. And at least, if you do not, it's cool for you to learn some of the basics, since you will sooner and later need to work with artists:

Here, I did the hard part and googled it for you; here's the first reasonable result for "free rss readers". I've tried about half of these and they were all reasonable. Look at what features you need to pay for, they're all slightly different, and choose one. bloggingwizard.com/free-rss-fee...

RSS is, and I say this without hyperbole, an incredibly useful tool for psychological independence in the current environment. Newsblur, as Vajra suggests, is good, I use Feedbin, there are others. Most remarkably easy to set up.
Speaking of the well-deserved death of social media, I've started using Newsblur as my new RSS reader (had to clean up a depressingly large number of dead links, including to sites that still publish but no longer have RSS feeds) and that does still in fact provide a source of good internet

Warning: if you grabbed a Love Minis, Hate Fascism shirt from me/Fenris a couple of weeks ago, please make sure it was me you ordered from. Just had somebody here asking about the poor print quality of their shirt...when I've not received them from the printers yet.

Fucking scammers.

To call the Forsaken heroes is preemptive; perhaps their deeds will be few and worthless, or worse — they may be great, yet bring naught but ruin.

As for their past, speculate as you wish. At this point, neither you nor they can ever truly know.

I made these for two works for the Straight Arrows RPG campaign based off @mothership.bsky.social.

I'm looking to make more. Front covers. Alternate covers. My secret wish is to buddy up with a writer to collage an entire campaign. Characters, story art etc
