Here's a little thing I wrote, referencing songs, for me of note...

Drawn by the great Ela Paniagua (artofelanorpaniagua.ct.ws)
1st page of the Comic The Title "White and Orange" is partly wrapped in a speech bubble, indicating that it is said by the person standing with his back to the viewer in the foreground of the first panel. The first panel shows a florists shop, with the person in the foreground (the customer) and the shop clerk being mid conversation: Customer: white and orange Clerk: that's an unusual choice, may I ask why? Customer: well... Ever since I was a child I associated certain situations with melodies. Often only the title or part of the lyrics have to fit for the connection to form... 2nd panel, black and white, with an orange tint. Descriptor: "like the one time in school when we forgot to open a window for the whole day" It shows the customer and other pupils in a classroom with stuffy air. Notes from Bachs "Air" hang over the customer while he wonders why he now hears this in his head. 3rd panel, black and white, the customer in a dancing pose at night next to a street lamp. Bright Sparkles are in the air as the rain catches the light. Notes and text of "singing in the rain" are under him. Descriptor: "or the first time I broke up with someone." 4th panel, black and white, a plane in the air, speech bubbles indicating the customer annoyingly sings "ca plane pour ma" and other travelers asking, if someone can make him stop. Descriptor: "the first time I went on holiday on my own" Last panel: black and white, tinted in orange. Notes and text of "no need to argue" hang over the sad customer, who is on the phone, tears in his eyes. A speech bubble from the phone says "I'm sorry" Descriptor: "when I got broken up with" 1st panel of last page, black and white heavily tinted orange. It shows the customer on the floor of the running shower, sobbing, while music plays from his phone on the chair "one more night to bear this nightmare" Descriptor: "And I slipped into depression..." 2nd panel, black and white. The customer lies on the couch, his head on the lap of a woman, they seem to joke around. "all I ever wanted, all I ever needed, is here in my arms" hangs over them. Descriptor: "... until I found love again" 3rd panel, we are back in the florists shop again. The customer keeps explaining: "so you see, Songs or just part of songs, are strongly intertwined with my memories." Descriptor 1: "but we both know what memories can bring..." Descriptor 2: "they bring..." 4th panel, black and white, no text. The customer as a happy child being held up by his father so he can reach to the head of a snowman and put a hat on it. 5th panel, black and white, heavily tinted in orange, no text. It shows two people comforting each other next to the deathbed of an old person in a hospital. Last panel: a grave stone with a wreath of white and orange flowers on it. Descriptor "Diamonds and Rust" is written such that "Diamonds" is below the snowman while "rust" is written below the deathbed

If you see this, post 4 female characters you love.
That's really difficult, picking "just" 4, so I'm gonna limit myself to only 1 fem char per franchise, I guess:
Margot Fenring, perfectly incorporating the subtle ways of the Bene Gesserit Delenn of Babylon 5. Was a close call as all female roles are really great there. I ultimately opted for Delenn instead of Susan, Na'Toth or Lyta because of the amazing "if you value your lives, be somewhere else" speech... Sigourney Weavers Ellen Ripley is the best Action Hero in my book. Full Stop. not "female" action hero or any other descriptor shrinking the scope. Best. Action. Hero. Tori Spring of Heartstopper. Just a minor role in the scope of the series, but my most beloved character. Any episode with her in it is a good episode, no matter what else happens.

Gotta make some of these as long as it's still possible!

Still absolutely in awe about the genius of the Dune Logo (is "logo" the right word here?)

who came up with this??? It's absolutely amazing!

I sent the manuals of 2 of my game prototypes to a competition. Next Within the next weeks I'll be notified if I shall send a prototype for testing. So now I try to assemble prototypes that look somewhat professional 😅
Here my attempt of a Boxart for one of the two games. Any notes?

when you're a rich merchant family in the 16th century and you want to direct a "FUCK YOU ALL" to all your rivals, you order that kind of an coat of arms:

Well... here goes nothing.
Let's see what the experts have to say about an Evolution revival with a fresh coat of .... sand I guess ^^

Not sure if all of them count as "space" games, might be a little stretch for some of them. Also: the inclusion of "and old" might have been an error ^^

Master of Orion 1 & 2
Battle Zone,
Prey

Maybe @morriswayts.bsky.social has better recommendations then me ^^

archaic??? ARCHAIC???? This... this "ARCHAIC" word makes so much more sense then the modern "mimimi" version!
screenshot from merriam-Webster dictionary of the word "neglectable" stated as being the archaic version of "negligible". A word that has, in my opinion, way too many "i" in it given the root of its meaning, hence the beaker saying "mi mi mi" gif

Found this after googling "stages of decay":

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpse_...

It seems to me that this is a lower bound. So that would be rainforest I guess (hot, humid, plenty of micro organisms)
Alleyways are in towns, coller (shade), possibly more arid...
So definitely longer than 9 days.

not an artist myself, so abilities to fix the image are very limited. but that would be my response, if I could fix all the issues...
same picture as OP with some minor fixes. Text pro breastfeeding texts removed with pro "commission human artist" text mirroring the original points: commissioning artists contributes to: - improved brand survival - reduced lifetime dependency from big tech companies - protection from backlash - optimal art quality - lower rates of unemployment among artists - healthy brand development - strong messages Investing in artists means investing in the future. It supports creative populations, reduced ecological impacts and stronger economies.

I like the scenes with the beast best, but Natalie has some great expressions throughout the movie :)

It's very interesting how different people see things differently! For example: for my current game in the dune franchise I use a twister svg I liked from game-icons.net for the storm.
First feedback: "why is there ham on that game token???"

First play test! The flair/lore of dune was good, some mechanics are not quite fine tuned enough yet. A few things don't feel right yet, but overall it was OK.
After the game we realized we forgot to shuffle like 25 cards into the deck, so we had no offensive cards. 🙈

Update: Cards are ordered, tableaux are laser cut, Tokens as well. Now writing rules on my wiki page.
text is like 70% done, but no pics/symbols yet :(
So I started adding a section with all the symbols and their php code (Although I defined the codes myself, I'll forget them within days 🙈)

Ich auch! Bin ja schon sauer auf meinen music streaming Anbieter. Hab extra einen gesucht der sich auf "audiophiles and music lovers" spezialisiert, und dann poppen da KI Lieder in meiner Suche auf 😡
Aber: die monetization der KI Slot-Maschinen beginnt! Bald ist Geld auch kein gutes Arument mehr...
Screenshot of Adobe AI feature stating it costs "1 credit" to generate an image (even if you don't like it and thus have to try again). Making it in fact a Slot Machine.

Thanks for the great job! 😍
I needed some colorful charsheets, because we're gaming with colored meeples (don't have space/time/motivation to store heaps of plastic figurines to sieve through each session). So I'd rather have "premium" character sheets that are in the same colors as the meeples...

To do:
* battles vs EMPEROR possible? ✔️
* redesign "carnivore trait" ✔️
* make "spice silos"✔️
* design 7 POI cards✔️
* streamline wordings✔️
* check for typos✔️
* assemble graphics assets❌
* upload❌

POI are a bit bland, but they are an experiment, so will probably change anyways

Graphic asset of the heavy war factory from Dune 2: Battle for Arrakis used for back side of playing cards for my hobby project "Arrakis' Nature". It has game relevant pictograms on it too, as the back side can be used as a trait as well.
