Working on a map for my Carapace X Mausritter home game.
The bugs in my setting are from the mysterious realm known as Whitehall—a land of marbled columns and bleached bone.
What will our mouse-scale adventurers find in these hallowed halls? Perhaps allies in their fight against Sabrina?

Just finished running The Haunting of Ypsilon 14 for @mothership.bsky.social.
First time using the official Companion App for the ENTIRE session.
I loved it so much. Made it seamless. Was easy to use and made it easy for the players to see what was going on and control their characters.

Back from AdobeMAX. Short-ish thread on my experience.
Caught the AdobeMAX Keynote.
Their products are soon gonna be nearly unusable with the amount of AI bloatware they're shoveling into them.

Great, quick read for new designers and nice reminder for veterans when going to print.
I also do not know of anyone using slug when sending to print but it's good to know the terminology for when talking to printers.

It's impossible because @lonearchivist.bsky.social gave me too many options that are rad as hell.

I had the opportunity to see an early draft of this script over on Twitch and I gotta say, this is going to be a timeless video.
And it's super important for anyone who creates and a great watch. Highly recommend.

I've seen this project advertised several times and am tentatively curious. I love Treasure Planet and this seems to draw from that heavily.
If nothing else they took time with an excellent title mark. Would love to learn more about the design as custom titles is something we need to see more of.

Recently downloaded something for Shadowdark that I was excited for but, upon opening it, I'm pretty sure it utilized AI-Gen images. Not crediting an artist is a huge indicator.
It's unfortunate, too, that they have an entire channel on their Discord dedicated to AI Content.
Real bummer.
