I’m still not sure who the old man in the mirror is. I mean he looks like he knows stuff. I just don’t know who he is. What’s he doing in my mirror?

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

AI “art” is immoral. If you use it, I can’t respect you.

My Go-To Technique for RPG Character Intros!

The character montage is my favorite character introduction technique for #DnD or any other #ttrpg . See examples, how to explain it to players, and even how to use it for travel, to resolve a scene, and much more!

I hate trestles. I really do. Doesn’t keep the sun off. Doesn’t keep the rain off. Encourages birds to poop on you.

This morning we started Fury of the Forsaken by @louanders.bsky.social's Lazy Wolf Studios, using his Thrones & Bones setting. I really don't want to spoil too much, because there are a lot of fun ins and outs and mysteries that play into the plot.

I know that Disney got Marvel to change the original design of Howard the Duck because it resembled Donald too much. But now that they’re one big happy family maybe we could go back to it.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

There are a million moral reasons not to use AI — theft, environmental cost, human job loss — but even from a selfish perspective, it messes with your brain? Why risk that??

A lower cost version of Fury of the Forsaken featuring just those maps appearing in the PDF/hardcover (plus a mead hall) and none of the variations of Day/Night, normal/battle has just gone up on @shardtabletop.bsky.social #ttrpg #dungeonsandragons #talesofthevaliant

Just received my copy of the Bense Trilogy by Lazy Wolf Studios/ @louanders.bsky.social and really enjoyed the look of it. So I thought, I'd share again the cover and one of the interior pieces I did for it.

It’s Jim Cummings’ birthday! Did you know he did the audio version of Pirate’s Price by @louanders.bsky.social, which is mostly told in the first person by Hondo Ohnaka? It’s my favorite Star Wars audiobook experience!

Much drudgery this morning. Creating the Standard Edition of Fury of the Forsaken on Shard (just the maps necessary to run the adventure, no extras, lower $). Shard is very easy to use. It's just busy work. Once it's done, the Kickstarter is over, & I can refresh the well before moving on.
