It's already been a week since CRITcon, and I'm still buzzing from the experience. It was my first time tabling at an event, and I've been cherishing the feeling of being surrounded by a community that instantly felt like home. What a badass group of warm & welcoming people. 💖

Getting ready to table my first convention at CRITcon in Portland, OR, 10/24 - 10/26! While gathering my wares, I realized I'd never gotten copies of Escape the Iron Dungeon made. This was the first game I made, so I gave the design a glow-up.
If you're in the PNW, come say hi at CRITcon!

Just finished my play through of Thousand Empty Light by @alfredvalley.bsky.social -- what an awesome experience. The module had a tight gameplay loop that was easy to break into smaller play sessions, and the Combined Systems Semiotic Standard oracle was pure genius.

I've been working on memorizing "Time's Shadow" by Mathilde Blind, and I wanted to try illustrating it. I'm torn on my interpretation of the last stanza -- it sounds cynical, but maybe it's suggesting the list of things we allow ourselves to be lost in rather than appreciating the present.

A few days late on #inktober2023 day 15. The prompt was "Dagger." I decided to do a mini-comic instead of a single illustration. The final panel is commented 👇
