I suppose I should try making an intro post. I left Twitter back when it rebranded from a mere hellsite and fled to Mastodon. Mastodon is nice, but it’s quiet there and I miss the voices of the people I used to follow. Seems they’re gathering here! Hello! :waves awkwardly:

It'll have an appreciates system that's not tied to user accounts. And a front page art feature system, inspired by DeviantArt's old Daily Deviantations!
Other cool things too to try and help pump your socials & show off your art.

A friend pointed out that I should probably do something to mark writerly achievements rather than just...moving on to the next mountain, and after much thought and weighing of opinions, I have settled on fountain pens! Thus, my newest acquisition(s): jellyfish pens for Viable Paradise!

Bottom left: Mark Smylie’s illustration of an intelligent giant otter hanging out and swapping “the one that got away” fisherman’s tales with his green-skinned friend is pure #Glorantha.
You can pick up “Ships and Shores” and “Voyages” (containing loads of his artwork) from the Jonstown Compendium.

Well, in my defense DRAGON PASS was /just/ nominated for an Ennie, AGE OF VIKINGS /just/ came out (so did the PENDRAGON GM book so that was another candidate), and SERENISSIMA OBSCURA /just/ Kickstarted. But here's some stuff from Martin's SHIPS & SHORES, with more on the way for his next book :)!

I'm genuinely SO excited about the new ocean map that will be at the heart of the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich when this hall reopens on June 7th. It's an unusual ocean-focussed map with so much detail, and it's just brilliant. 🌊🌊 Here's a sneak peak.
