alright. I have been without any income for way too long and I need to get back in the game. I'll be posting up commission info in the morning, but if there's anyone in the #ttrpg sphere in particular who's looking for an illustrator right now, watch this space 👀

I read all of This Inevitable Ruin in 1 week. Next book is projected for June 2026.

And now we wait.

I don't follow much stuff on Kickstarter, but this game has had my attention for some time. Check out the YouTube channel for some great tabletop content, and I'll see you all on the Last Train to Nowhere!

Just a small sneak peak at some of the art for the Sadist, one of my NPC Archetypes!

Had lots of fun at #fomo-con! Tons of great panels, workshops, and games. I just wish I had more time!

Despite having lived in Michigan for the past 6 (almost 7) years, I have had my very first taste of Superman ice cream today.

It's kinda fire.

Unrelated to ttrpg content--
I'm about to hit Diamond in SF6 and I'm realizing you can make it all the way up there by 1) knowing a single combo that ends in a super, and 2) anti-airing at least 1/3rd of the time you need to.

Itch's new content policy is:

1. We can't tell you what violates the rules.

2. If you violate the rules, we take all your money. Not just the money from that work, ALL your money from EVERYTHING you've ever made.

I don't care how much of a smol bean Itch is, this is not a viable platform.

Nothing is as ill-natured as nerds having a go at other nerds about their roleplaying game opinions. Absolutely zero quarter being given over the most trivial shit.

Finally getting more art done for Chimera. At this rate, I'll have spent more on my project than I have on my car!

I'm revealing my big ttrpg project soon, and I need my followers to appreciate why it's taken so long. This week I'm doing my final pass over the (tr)ashcan edition, sitting at 140 pages with no almost art, no GM materials, and minimal setting fluff. It is a big and absurd game for tactics perverts.

I've been thinking about "paper buttons" in TTRPGs. I fucking love them, personally. I like being able to point to something on my sheet and say "this happens" without having to hope the GM interprets my action in a favorable way. Let me click the paper buttons!!

game design thoughts: writing tactics role playing games is hard. if i were writing a wargame, it would be easier. i'll post a little thread here

Just finished book 6 in the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. I can't believe I have to wait until September for the next hardcover. I know the ebook is available, but I'm old fashioned and love the feeling of a weight tome in my lap.

I tried a JRPG for the first time: Expedition 33.

It's super pretty and I love the art direction, but the gameplay is so bad that I'm going to refund it.

I'm too old to be playing a game where the primary mechanic is QTEs.

Maybe a hot take, but I don't like when my games have a bestiary with 100+ enemies, half of which I'll never use.

Who here has fought an Aboleth? Or an Eye Tyrant? Or a Remorhaz?

Just give me solid stat blocks that can scale up, not some crazy stuff that I can't find a use for.

I got to playtest the new ICON 2.0 rules last night, and it fucking rocks. This is probably the most fun tacticsgame I've played, and the new ruleset is way more accessible than previous versions. Strongly recommend giving it a shot if you're at all interested in that sort of thing.
