Apparently this is how to make hoglets poo and pee. Slow soft massage on the belly.

We found a tiny newborn hoglet next to its dead mama in our garden! She probably died from the heat. We called wildlife services and they will send someone around to pick her up. Until then we take care of her :)

She got a box with a towel and a bottle with warm water to hug against.

No cheating. Post the last pic of your pet.

#StateVector Catalog now renders nice trajectories for transfer orbits. They are not physically accurate yet, but a plausible approximation. Here's one from Earth to Mercury in 6 days.

That's enough time spent on this distraction, let's get back to game design :)

My little side project (but still related to #StateVector): An online 3D map tool you can use to explore the 20ly around us. It's still a WIP but will allow GMs of State Vector and other RPGs to explore the nearest stars and upload their own catalog for other settings.

Italy Is wild. You can have a side street that is 1000+ years old and looks like jack the ripper would be lurking about and then there's a VR Escape room in one of the buildings.

The amazing @lurnoise.bsky.social worked on this illustration for #StateVector. It shows a scene inside an O'Neill Cylinder space station in the hopeful future of my rpg setting. A diverse group of people live together and keep this place not just running but thriving.

I'm sorry, but the best dice are the ones with dogs on it! (Just got them today!)

Actually re-reading some old 1960s comics at the moment and they have these ads every few pages. Completely irrelevant to the comic (and modern live), but gives a great view into the mindset of 1960s american people. So I would argue that even weird ads may be worth preserving.

Cheese! It's cheese, isn't it?
