It can be hard to keep on track, especially in the middle of an encounter. It isn't fully comprehensive, but I designed this #Pathfinder2e basic action guide to keep things moving at my table.

What I’d do if I started making ttrpgs in 2026:
- Create zines initially
- Pitch to established publishers
- Focus on less art and better layout
- Don’t chase trends or awards
- Collaborate more
- Don’t rely on crowdfunding
- Promote unashamedly
- Judge success against your own progress
- Create zines initially

I enjoyed the cartoony style I used for the AdventureX project last year and wanted to add it as a commission option, so I drew a couple of new samples.

Friendly neighborhood biologist here. I see a lot of people are talking about biological sexes right now. Lots of folks make biological sex seem really simple. Well, since it’s so simple, let’s find the biological roots, shall we? Let’s talk about sex...[a thread]

happy It's Been More Than A Week Since I Last Yelled At You About Crystal Heart day!
Still time to get Crystal Heart as a Christmas* gift for someone in your life who likes comics, tabletop RPGs, or both. It's long enough to last them till New Year's at least!
*or Hanukah. Or Yule or Kwanzaa or because it's a Tuesday, any excuse is a good excuse to give someone a new graphic novel.

Glad to see people talking about Penn Jillette. The 2024 interview was done by me. I found him to be a refreshingly reflective, self-critical individual who has remained curious and willing to evolve.

If you bought #CrystalHeart on a platform with ratings and enjoyed it, could I ask you to take a second to rate it? Or even a couple of minutes to write a 2-sentence review. Our only review on a couple of big websites is 1 star, "down from 2 because of the added romance" 🙄
![A bit of a page from Crystal Heart chapter 7, showing Natasha (a pale blonde woman in a purple outfit) walking up to Kitau (a brown woman with long hair, tied to a pole with colourful fabric).
Panel 1
Natasha, gesturing at Kitau's binding: At least I'm still alive. What is... this?
Kitau: I am bound by my own clothes. Release me!
N: Oh no, I'm not putting myself between whatever THING you and Muna are doing.
Panel 2
K, surprised: Such nonsense. Release me!
N: Oh! So it's Fabiola, is it?
Panel 3
K, flustered: No--!... Wait, you heard about that?
N: There's a rumor going around. [small] (Someone probably has the BIG MOUTH hindrance.)
Panel 4
Zoomed out, showing some smoking rubble around them.
K, yelling: I'm not with Fab--NEVERMIND ALL OF THAT, we are UNDER ATTACK!
N: Ah. I assumed I woke up AFTER everything was done.
Panel 5
Side view close up on the two of them.
N: At least, I HOPED so.
K: Reach into my binding and search around for my weapon!
N: Now you are TRYING to get me into trouble.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:i5zpjviqa5wf3nqerpelovpu/bafkreihqv34hnmmmfhj4fy4b66il7zswyy62obkurxqo55ggfc6yr3cfca@jpeg)

I’m really excited to reread it all again, as it remains one of my favorite gaming comics.
The story and art are wonderful, and the way it teaches Savage Worlds is inspired.
