These piglets were in the wild a short while ago. Excellent paintjobs leaning into the orkiness of these little buggers.
These have been waiting patiently for me to paint for some time: some pig faced indie sculpted orks. Love the flame thrower fellow.

Don't sleep on this game, folks.
Sirens' Oath: Tides Turning is a game of rage, revenge and monstrous feminity. Caelyn gives her impressions and chats with the game's designer @wingshan.bsky.social.
Sirens’ Oath: Tides Turning is here to literally make waves

100% to all of this. Do not quit your day job. Playtest your Notepad game with friends. Photocopy your ashcan game. Put it on itch. Play a million hacks. Talk to other hack-y people about games.
Ok, @lumpley.bsky.social & I have been very up-front over the years on our sales data & etc, so here's a thing, & thanks Will, for bringing it up. Starting a career in #ttrpgs means making games. it means writing in a goggle doc or notebook, trying mechanics with a friend, finding 3 folks to play.
I don't really see any false vision of success — virtually anybody who talks about it is very up front, and people who ask about "starting a career in games" get told very plainly that the only way to have money while working in RPGs is to start with money.

So my advice, to those who would ask, is not "the only way to make money as a game designer is to start with money," but "the only way to be a creative person / game designer is to figure out what tiny scraps of time you can put towards practicing your craft to produce your art, and do that."
