Finished the hexmap yesterday but it was too late to photograph it, so I made another one.
Sorry for the strong side sunlight, which makes the paper appear too textured.
With thanks to @idraluna-archives.bsky.social, @ktrey.bsky.social, and @save.vs.totalpartykill.ca who were kind to the first one.

What are blogs anyway but stars in the sky?

"Nomad with a long-ass musket" is a really underrated aesthetic imo. I want to write a setting where the default player character is a nomad with a long-ass musket

Played 5 turns of Marc Miller's Verdun game, made significant gains as the Germans but took some devastating losses in the last round of attacks. We meticulously saved the game state, so the winner remains to be decided

Patlabor 2 is a truly underrated gem. 👀
Mamoru Oshii planned it. A young Satoshi Kon took the lead on its layouts. The result: a stunning moment from Patlabor 2.
We're looking inside the film's martial law sequence, including storyboards and production art:
