I was full of spice earlier because of someone promoting ChatGPT over actual human creators. But I can’t stay spicy when playing a cute lil’ creature who got a critical success while protecting someone they love. Thank you @lalionnecosplay.bsky.social for letting me run wild with these characters!

Still so happy after the full rundown of a friend’s experience playing my one-pager with their kids. I loved how much the youngest brought into the game to fuel their imaginations; from costumes to toy food and swords! Their baby dragons were found sleeping in a pile of stuffed animals. Too cute!

Setting switched on!
Ok, let me help you out: there's a button in settings that you can switch on that won't let you post an image without adding ALT TEXT. 🥰It's a huge help to me - I would forget otherwise tbf. I know it's a chore lovelies but it helps so much! So please, please, don't give up!🙏🤞💪💖🤗
Why is it suddenly a trend to stop using ALT text?
I know some people have their own issues that make it hard to add it, but when I see folks who were using it all the time suddenly stop.. it just seems like it was performative / fake before and now it's off trend Disabled people don't matter?😳😢

Cutest update from a friend who is playing my one-page game with their kids. They’re rescuing baby dragons and went to get some of their toy food to lure the dragons out. But the princess might have swapped out the sugar for salt, and the treats are now yucky!

Me: Awesome, people are play testing my game and I’m learning how to do layout stuff! I should focus on this for now because it’s a big project.

I tend to write horror more than anything else, and love blending it with other genres. But this time I had a fluffy idea for young dicelings which I have decided to share. I hope others find it as fun as I have! stitchsessions.itch.io/the-princess...

Some fantastic work being shared here! I love the Mothership RPG system, but would love it even more if this art was added to the companion app!
Over the course of the month I drew a portrait or 2(hundred) in #over/under and called them 🩸HEADSHOTS🩸
And @sean.tuesdayknightgames.com said he might put them in the Mothership app so now you can all apply gentle pressure to that situation too! lol
