Super surprised dtrpg's suspiciously cheap shipping sent to Martinique without a hitch.

Check out this big caterpillar, with his "don't fuck with me" spike stickin out his butt
A white dude's hand (mine) next to a long fat, bright yellow and black striped caterpillar with a red head and a needle-like stinger on a leaf. The caterpillar is longer and fatter than my middle finger.

Ok, it's ready.
Fucking godawful MS Paint horrid barf map, oh god, it looks so ridiculous and probably absolutely meaningless unless I'm there to explain the pure ridiculous scribbles of this mess.

Critters in the house tonight: Two billys (small boy spiders lookin for love--sorry fellas, we kicked out Edith and her little sister Judith), the underdoor treefrog creeper, and an itty bitty baby anole. And all that with our cane toad Bouncer on the steps.

This was the first zine I worked on as editor, and I got a "very well edited" comment out of the review, nice! Shame that my dick and balls map got vetoed in development as "too on the nose," 😂

This cane toad hangs out at the bottom of our stairs every night (the lights attract bugs to chow on, I'm guessing). To steal a friend's joke, he's our Bouncer.

Life has thrown me some curveballs this week. Found a home for two roosters, off to a farm where they can be more chill. And so many limes and mandarinquats (yes, that's a thing) that I dunno what to do with. Not HORRIBLE curveballs, but not what I'm used to either, 😅
A little white rooster with some grey and brown on his wings. (this fella didn't crow as much, but he was stressing out the hens).An asshole (no, he was actually pretty chill, just noisy af way too early in the morning). A young grey rooster with mottled brown feathers. A big plate full of mandarin/kumquat crossover fruits, big ol' limes, and some weird maroon, mini-pickle shaped other citrus fruit I dunno even what is called in English.

Full moon's out for the start of my Monolith 2e playtest campaign, Crashlanding on Gala. Using the same campaign setting from Classic Traveller, a subsector out on the edge of the Diadem Empire. The Monolith 2e PCs come from way out beyond its edges.
The moon looks like a weak lil sun behind a big ol' palm tree.

No cheating. Share the last photo of the sky from your camera roll. (I thought this lone tree on this hilltop was funny.)

I found a mis-rolled die over the weekend.
Me, a white dude in a baseball cap, shorts and white t-shirt that says, "TACOS, TACOS, TACOS, TACOS, TACOS," standing in front of a six-sided die that must be at least 2 meters tall. The bakground is tropical, with many palm trees.

Forgot to post this this morning because I spilled coffee everywhere (making me late for the game), but: Breakfast before Hot Springs Island.

A little bit bigger, but maybe of some use too
A bestiary entry for "Beaver, Giant" that goes into extreme detail. An excerpt, "These intelligent but docile creatures will felle any attack if at all possible, but if cornered, or if their huge lodge is threatened, they will fight fiercely [...] Giant beavers sometimes trade, and if coins or other valuables are offered they can sometimes be persuaded to undertake the building of dam-like constructions [...] Their hides are worth from 500 to 2,000 gold pieces each. Giant beaver kits of under 8 hit points can be suddued, captured, and sold in the market for from 100 to 200 gold pieces per hit point."

Funny things you learn while editing that you still probably don't want to put in your book. (Probably.)

I'm so tired. Enjoy some Aliens set photos, for its 40th anniversary.
Terraformation tower model, maybe 6 feet tall. A dude is painting it or something.Sigourney Weaver joking around with the Alien queen model. It was a mistake to liken the aliens to ants, but it still looks cool.Puppeteers, I think, making the exoloader and Alien queen do rock em sock em robots. Somewhere off screen, Sigourney Weaver is regretting her "You Bitch" catchphrase.Sigourney Weaver smiling in a cryopod. I think this movie, which I saw when I was 5 years old on VHS, is probably the reason why I developed such an intense interest in aliens and science fiction. If I could understand it, it couldn't hurt me or scare me. And also Sleeper Crew is a love letter to this film's opening (and while I'm oversharing, my partner gives me mad Ripley 1986 vibes, she fucking rules).

Starting from Aug/Sept, I'll be taking more editing work! I've edited lots of Mothership zines, and a couple PANIC Engine games. I'm also very familiar with Mark of the Odd games, e.g. Liminal Horror, ECOMOFOS, Cairn, etc. Contact me here or on Discord. Some of the projects I've worked on:
12 works, three rows, four columns. From left to right, top to bottom, they are: Carved like a Covenant, Straight Arrows, Sunlit Path, Johnson Squared, Breathe Easy, Flatline on the Blocks, All on Red, Rites of Renewal, Dreadnauts, 90 Seconds to Midnight, Drink from the Hippocrene, Milk Bar.

I think that's a wrap on Flatline on the Blocks. Once any lingering color/proofing issues are sorted, it's print time. Big thanks to all the Azimuth Warriors, and special thanks to @scragend.bsky.social and @queerwizard.co.uk for pumping out SO MUCH art for this 56pg zine

Bold to assume I had no deadlines that month.
