I made it weird.

Still workshopping my grand, overarching theory of #TTRPG prep. I know it looks chaotic, but it's really quite simple:

"Fronts" represent what the antagonists will do without intervention.

The "Response Algorithm" determines how they respond if and when the PCs show up.
A complex network diagram showing three overlapping directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) labeled "A LAND OF WOLVES NOW" at the top of each. Each DAG contains hierarchical nodes with labels such as "INTERVIEW," "HUNTING CRY," "PROMOTE THEM," "STARVE THEM," "WAKE THEM UP," "ISOLATE THEM," "RECRUIT THEM," and others, connected by white arrows indicating progression. Blue "cold front" symbols form curved dividers through the graph. Colored circles denote roles orange for PC, yellow for Coterie, brown for Prince/Baron, and white triangle icons for Organization. Green dashed arrows labeled "Expected" and pink dashed arrows labeled "Actual" trace paths diverging between different DAGs. The layout resembles a branching strategy map with overlapping decision routes and dynamic interactions across multiple factions or actors.

Might have to make an exception for this *Eclipse Phase* infolife, however.
Character sheet artwork for Berk, an Infolife Enforcer and Bot Jammer from the Eclipse Phase TTRPG. Berk is depicted as a muscular humanoid morph with four cybernetic arms, wearing tactical gear and holding a massive rectangular blade resting on one shoulder. The character has a metallic, featureless face with visible cybernetic enhancements. Beside the art are character details: name Becky Transfinity, motivations (+Autonomy, +Badassery, –Boredom), languages (English, Skandinavíska), ego traits (Enhanced Behavior: Aggression Level 2), background (Infolife), career (Enforcer), interest (Jammer), faction (Criminal), gender (Female), sex (—), and muse (Olly). A quote above the stats reads: 'You’re familiar with the old-timey saying, ‘tear limb from limb’? My specialty. And now with two more arms, I’m even better at it. Just saying…'

@lamemage.com You seen this? They're using "West Marches" in ads.

ATTI was a set of zines by Malaysian game designers (published 2020-2023) depicting an OSR campaign setting based on southeast Asian mythology and culture.

Working on some Condition and Status cards for my #AvatarLegends campaign. I'm combining the #AtLA title font with ancient Chinese "Seal Script" characters. I'm very excited about the initial design, although I'd like to make the calligraphy more prominent.
Tent folded index cards with colorful title word and plain paragraph text. Chinese calligraphy watermark. Tent folded index card reading "Empowered" with a paragraph of text. Watermark ancient Chinese character.

I've tried my hand at #bookbinding for the first time, inspired by @munkao.bsky.social's work-in-progress "Kala Mandala"! I did a rough job, because I didn't want to be a perfectionist about I, and I'm really enjoying flipping through this with friends!

Cool, Paul Atreides. Oops, he's doomed.

Finally got to play Gun It from Randy O. I've enjoyed his Roll-in-One so much, this is an accessible, interesting cooperative puzzle game.

The themes are STRONG! It's got a lot of different game modes that I haven't tried yet.
