Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

So... my job fired me over some technicalities regarding when I clocked off from a shift. While I'm looking for a new one, I'm looking to try and keep momentum for myself and my partner, so writing commissions are open! I'm currently opening 5 slots, and possibly will do more depending. Thank you!

A screenshot that reads: Hello everyone! Due to a little bit of financial strain, I'm opening up quick fiction commissions. For $10 USD, you can get:
Approximately 500 words of fiction, original or fanfic, shipping or not - up to 2500 words.
Material to use at your gaming table, from quick NPCs and adventure hooks, to locations and unique treasure, to villains and their schemes.
Write-ups of said material with specific mechanics for PF2E, Daggerheart, Exalted (3E or Essence), or Fabula Ultima. Other systems can be discussed, requests for D&D 5e and related systems will be ignored.
Make any of the above SPICY for an extra $5!

I accept payment through Zelle, ko-fi, and Venmo. If your commission includes OCs, I will need references of some kind. DM me if you're interested!

Sometimes when I go off about mini-maps people think I’m just being contrarian or difficult or too obsessed with “friction” or at worst gatekeepy, but I firmly believe that what Aura’s writing about here is worth considering more & more as opportunities for thought get taken from us in everyday life

Really recommend everyone try the process of creating art just once. Just to know the feeling. Just to know what it’s like to take something creatively to completion. Just to be proud of it, even if it’s bad. Just to say you did it. Even that’s okay too.

The vibe we wanted for the game was derived from our love for gintama and its comedy is so grounded, unapologetic and just fckn insane. I dont know if anyone could possibly get on sorachi's level except him but I found it an exciting challenge to unmoor myself a little for the sprites in this game

Gonna call this finished! Etza, the character who is my favourite from the game Alaris! With my OC/Main Character version (who is still wearing the White Mage outfit because I gave up trying to figure out what they should wear)

scan of a sketchpad page with an illustration drawn with colour pencil and some pen for outlines. The top third of the drawing is a cartoony scene meant to look like old RPG games, with my character as a WHM casting LIT4 on a cartoon version of another character from Alaris, Kuna'a. Yellow boxes display their names and stats. That section is linked to the rest of the drawing with a "thinking speech bubble" leading to the characters Etza and my Main Character embracing each other closely while they sleep, with the implication that the first scene is being dreamed by my character.
