Red Ogre (@ogre.red) gets rights to your work upon *submission*.
And those rights are ridiculous. They can change your work, not credit you, use your work for advertising, or put it in an anthology.

Things I love in TTRPGs #125:
Waypoints that aren't inns or taverns along major thoroughfares where you can stop for the night. Roadside shrines, little crofter's lean-tos, maintained and marked campsites with dry firewood. Places that show signs of habitation. People already there seeking shelter.

Happy new year to all the artists who haven't had time, energy, passion, or any other needed resource to draw enough personal stuff to join end-of-the-year memes in 2025. May we find more of all of the above in 2026, as well as compassion for ourselves if we don't!

Because the year does not wish to end easily, I got a bill I absolutely cannot pay that equals out to roughly $300. Currently all my funds are going towards medical costs [such as transportation] so im struggling to pay bills as well. So...if you'd like an art book? God, im sorry guys.
I have an art book for #tyreecomic ! It's 62 pages at $10! Not only does it have art but I have some brief guides into my page process as well. There is even stuff I havent released publicly in it! It's a great way to support me currently and get a glimpse into my obsession

Had a blast with today's D&D session in the Goblin city of Pilzstadt. Players were able cause enough chaos to rescue their companion from the Ascension ritual and escape into the tunnels.
Paper minis from @trashmobminis.bsky.social were excellent for all the various goblinoid clans present.

This one is more system agnostic: stripping the "dungeon" from the classic "5 Room Dungeon" down to the foundation so you can prep and run a one shot in any kind of setting with minimal prep. I've used this for a few "ready in 15 min" sessions.

RPG publishers! Please consider releasing your products in epub! It’s an open standard, improves accessibility, and makes it much easier to read and use your product on a phone!
I would really love to see TTRPGs also released as an epub so I can read it on my phone in dark mode when I'm curled up from a migraine.
Most TTRPG pdfs aren't easily viewed on phones, and it's an accessibility issue rarely discussed. And there are more applications for epubs than my migraine days.
