I think it's kind of even worse ... they think that art is simply a matter of "expressing good ideas" (and that they have great ideas that unfairly go unexpressed). They don't seem to understand that "good ideas" emerge as the consequences of the challenges of creation, that's where art happens.

Spooky Tree. Started as a sketch on newsprint, but I like how it turned out. Figma Micron 01, Pitt Artist Pen soft brush, and Affinity Photo for some editing and color. #art #penandink #sketch #drawing

I didn't draw very much during 2024 - too busy, too stressed, too uninspired. But I started doing lots of sketches on big sheets of newsprint over the holidays, just to get back into the habit. Here's the first one of 2025. I hope that I can keep it up during 2025. #art #sketch #drawing #penandink

I'm going to run a one-shot for some coworkers in the next month or so, including one who's totally new to RPGs. I gave them a few options for games, and they chose Dolmenwood. I'm thinking The Fungus That Came to Blackeswell. I played it once, years ago in an online con, and it was a blast. #ttrpg

I've finished the map for ODD Hack #2. There's still a lot of writing left to do for the issue, but it feels good getting this part done. #ttrpg #map #dungeoncrawl

Had a great time running and playing games online for BSer Con 3 this weekend. Friday, I ran a section of Stonehell with OD&D and the wound/save system I'm developing for ODD Hack #2. Player feedback was good. I also played Hârn for the first time Saturday, and the Black Hack this afternoon. #ttrpg

I've been working on a new OD&D damage system for an upcoming ODD Hack issue. I want it to be a drop-in replacement for hit points and d6 damage rolls, so first step was trying to model the original system. That way I can try to match it, or at least point out the ways it differs. #ttrpg #zine

We've just found out that our car needs a new exhaust and catalytic converter, and it's going to cost us £600.
I've put all of my games on itch on sale in a massive bundle for £50 to try and raise some funds. Reskeets very much appreciated!

Potential cover design for ODD Hack #2 (you may need to click to see the whole thing). Contents will include the second half of The Shunned Abbey adventure, plus a few articles. OD&D's "core mechanics", combat rules without hit points, and attribute generation are likely topics. #ttrpg #odnd #zine

Watercolor has to be one of the most frustrating mediums. I'm going to keep working at it because I'm stubborn, but it's kind of like driving a car downhill on ice, and in reverse. Nothing works quite how I expect it to, and seemingly small adjustments quickly get out of control. Need practice. #art

Sketching an idea for the cover of the next ODD Hack issue. I think I'll like the general composition after a few adjustments. I just used whatever colored pencils I had nearby, but maybe I'll stick with a Skeletor + Ecto Cooler color scheme. Dunno.

Working on ODD Hack #2, starting with maps for the second half of the Shunned Abbey adventure. I've got the first one mostly done (first pic) - just need to detail the furnishing, add flagstone squares, and graphite shading to match the maps from issue 1 (second pic). #ttrpg #dungeonmap #zine
