It's wonderful seeing the little fellow making a return!
I don’t often make second versions but for “reasons” I’m making a new Padthulhu based on @evandorkin.bsky.social cover from an issue of the Blasphemous Tome by @goodfriendsofje.bsky.social a couple of years ago. Still in WIP stage but I made a good start on it today.

I finished Scratchman last night which was a huge amount of fun. I then started leafing through a book about Cryptids that I bought in Des Moines last year. I think my subconscious was swayed by the recent @goodfriendsofje.bsky.social episode about cryptids.

I totally get the appeal of bofffer larps, but I agree that they're not my thing. It was an interesting and weirdly educational experience, however, and it did affect how I look at tabletop games.
