This is my periodic encouragement that folks on that list to put their metadata about #TTRPG Actual Play into seriesseeker.com which allows audiences to search by system, length, and loads of other features.
(It’s also useful as a reflective exercise!)

ya i agree. i've said this before but organizing wizards of the coast artists would be a great starting point
Since legality is now a myth artists/freelancers MUST organize/unionize.

Can anyone suggest a character artist that has a gothic-y anime-y style? I'm not looking for hyper-realism but for good solid fantasy character art.
