I’m not super actively trying to grow any of my accounts right at this moment, but I am happy/baffled that a reel of me drawing hexagons over and over has five times as many views as anything else I’ve put on there

Finally, one blog post listing (maybe?) every last initiative method in TTRPGs. And in less than a measly 11,000 words, how convenient!

I'm constantly experimenting with Explorers Design. Is it a storefront? A review website? A visual design blog?

In 2023, I discovered I'm happiest writing articles—so it's time to make some changes...

They went into the dungeon! They killed the dragon!
exhaustrovert.bsky.social Mia @exhaustrovert.bsky.social · Apr 23
A thrilling conclusion to the second book in our campaign, tying up nicely with our one-year anniversary ♡
A two part horizontal image depicts a white and blue ice dragon with a silver chain prominently displayed wrapped around her neck and foreleg. In the upper image she is upright on a white pedestal. In the lower image she is upside down on the playmat, signifying her defeat as two player tokens stand off to the left side, appearing to observe impassively.

RPG friends as long as you keep your twitter account nothing will happen elsewhere. X is designed to keep you trapped there, the gravity is just too strong to be able to really focus and rebuild elsewhere. Your other accounts will always remain an afterthought.
Just sharing what worked for me.
