My Anthrocon artist alley haul... Well....

A tattoo of a grey seal with a rainbow over it. It is incredibly happy and cute!

Still one of the best gifts that my partner @tgi.bsky.social ever made me.
A linocut book stamp next to a set of library sleeves. The stamps design is a possum holding a book that's says 'This Book Belongs to Rigby Bendele'.

Because it's focused on just writing, I'm using it as one part journal, one part noting due dates. No due dates this week, so mostly reflections on the work that I've been doing.

Part of this is to help me visual progress, while another part is to stay on track.
An open hobonichi weeks. The left has notes about each day's work, while the right includes two progress bar (start and end).

A Peppy for your rough week.
A brown tabby curls up on a cat bed. She looks so soft and so little.

Repeated words, redundancies, cliches, sentence length, proper nouns.... Load-bearing.

Doctors hate this one writing station.
A laptop on a tiny, rickety tray table in front of a couch. There's at least a nalgene full of water and a notebook to relieve the pain and suffering from writing this way.

I had a similar peak when I read Delicious in the Dungeon, and then back down.

Writing sprints at the library today.
A laptop is open on a black table next to a tote page. The screen shows an empty word document and a scrivener folder.

Probably have one or two more books in me, but this was a very good reading year!

Finished up Crown of the Kobold King tonight... and already making plans for the next adventure.
A black background with white text that reads "The Kobolds will Return in Curtain Call".

Thinking about the Third Terror in the Spear Cuts Through Water again.
One of the things I realized at 90% in is that I strongly relate to #minotaurs, in part because they are so strongly about the assumption that binds us with family ties. When I think about how I genuinely want to write about family, trauma and represent my own experiences, the maze seems like ample ground for that. It also allows for space to function in ways that work for my flavor of cycles of family trauma - for fleeing and fear and danger to be interconnected.

(Copying Kendra's lead!)

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers.

repost of a tumblr post look-a-diversion from sep 26. It reads "having brain rot about your own TTRPG character is so embarrassing. yes i love her and i think about her all day and i’ll take any excuse to talk about her. no, there’s no book or anything for you to read. she’s my emotional support rogue. she’s my fidget toy. i wish you could meet her. i made her up inside my head.

I made the stew! I added maybe a few too many peas.
A big pot of beef stew with beef potatoes, onions, and a field of peas over the top. Truly, it's mostly peas. Oops. Lots of peas.

I'm Rigby, an author/ttrpg designer interested in the strange, fantastic and embodied. My work is mostly with Pathfinder and Starfinder, where I've specialized in adventures. The third volume of Mechageddon is my baby, but I've worked on everything from ancestries to subsystems!
A mock up of Mechageddon!, a Starfinder adventure path. The cover shows a mech swinging a weapon down toward a kaiju. The cover of Claws of the Tyrant, as Pathfinder adventure. A paladin stands on the center of the scene, with an image of the Whispering Tyrant appear ghost-like on the side of the scene. The cover Spore War: A Voice in the Blight. It depicts the elven queen Telandia holding a staff.

If I didn't have to take my cat to the vet this month, I would be SO tempted.
Screenshot of an listing for a thriftbooks tote bag. It's designed like the bright green mailers that thriftbooks uses. It's very distinctive looking and would let me info dump about thriftbooks regularly.

screenshot of a black and white image post. the words "THE BODY HOLDS THE BODY THE ARMS HOLD THE SPEAR AND THE SPEAR CUTS THROUGH WATERRRRRRRRRR" is over drawings of expressing 1) wanting to bite 2) face in hands, 3) jumping over the bedroom in a feral state. These are all the emotions I feel. If I could eat this book, I would. PLEASE.
