😂 of COURSE i know what your work looks like! i keep tabs on all the good TTRPG book designers. 🕵🏽‍♂️

exactly. and to be super-pedantic, the two column TTRPG (5E and Cosmere) books I mostly work on still, technically, have a grid! It’s just very very simple grid.

haha your work doesn’t too griddy, so it’s all good.

my distaste for them is I often see people abusing text and art to make them fit into their precious boxes. but *I* think <takes a big toke off a figurative joint> let the text and art should TELL you what shape THEY want to take, maaaan.

i mean if they want to be a software company and charge us money to use their tools and those tools don’t suck… okay? but you could also just … have a fan content license.
