With a colder head, my main issue is that I need an editor who is bilingual. The diction notes are on sentences that, upon re-reading them, are in spanish but translated to English. While the "good" sentences are the ones I put down directly in English and don't come from my first draft in spanish

Alastor Guzman @alastorgv.bsky.social · 21/05/2025
The editing and technical notes are good but the setting ones feel like being whitesplained my own culture

Alastor Guzman @alastorgv.bsky.social · 21/05/2025
I just got one of the weirdest feedback on the setting of my novel " The aztecs wouldn't have advanced technology or be able to do X " it kinda feels weirdly colonialistic. They are aztec inspired not historical since I have magical gravity rocks to power the technology

to my TTRPG and writer friends, which one works better for publishing gaming content, Patreon or Substack?

Alastor Guzman @alastorgv.bsky.social · 01/03/2025
To my ttrpg friends. I need a mailing list service that does the next: Users can subscribe for updates on the general mailing list but can also choose to be part of Mailing list for X or Y project only. So that they can be segmented and if they don't like 5e they only get indie and viceversa

I find it interesting that in other places people associate brutalism with boredom, dryness, and oppression. Meanwhile, I like it because my high school and university were built in a brutalist style. Picture fo the Faculty of Science Tlahuizcalpan building where i used to play RPGs and Magic.

The demons in XENO are inspired by Mayan myths and legends. On the left we have an Alux, on the right a Dzundzuncan. Both from the hand of @raulelghoul.bsky.social
A small humanoid with a head as large as its body. It has big black eyes, two orifices for a nose, and no lips.A giant bird demon. Its mouth and eyes are completely dark, its belly holds corrosive liquids, and both of its legs combine into a single claw. Its beautiful, curvy tail contrasts with its horrific body.

Part of my job is writing Art Briefs for the art in the books. I usually include several pictures as a reference for key points of the art. I hate that AI has contaminated nearly every source of reference images, making them useless for briefs when you are using keywords for the Moodboard

I decided to open the Shopify store to do some QA, so I removed the password and made it public for 10 minutes, and somehow got a sale in those 10 minutes. I mean, I am not complaining, but I now need to send the PDF to that person before the book because that was what I was testing.

I second this, I already passed along some other mexican friends but the intermix between history of Science and horror can be an interesting point to write especially from regions where science was used to justify colonization

Me finding this after cutting off a 2 chapters from my mesoamerican fantasy novel since they clashed with the high fantasy style. Now I can repurpose the chapter as its own horror story which better fits the tone. Never fully delete any chapter it can always be repurposed.

I am curious about which parts you are using/focusing on for teaching. I want to use more videogames for my students but aside from the videogame design groups the others ( movies and animation) are more resistant to playing something for the class
