Very cool to see an Aragorn who's Black! More pushes towards accurate representation of the incredibly varied world we live in will only ever be a huge plus for me. @restorationgames.bsky.social

Relatedly, if anyone has any pics of anatomically incorrect plastic animal skeletons, I would love to see them My personal fave: spiders with spinal columns

A plastic skeleton spider with a spinal column, vertebrae, ribs... it's weird

Yeah zero need for that!

I’m not saying the best thing about Halloween is the decorative animal skeletons where the skulls have bone ears but I’m also not not saying that

When I was 12 and showing a younger kid how to water ski, she kicked out the bottom half of my two front teeth while trying to figure out how to deal with skis on her feet. Last night one cap randomly fell off and I had to get it replaced today and I Did Not Enjoy That.

If financial and material resources, education, time, and space weren't an issue, what hobby would you start? (stained glass for me, please.)

Emily's Perennial is live on Kickstarter! I playtested this a number of times, and it really got to a sweet place. It also gets the Flatout Games and Beth Sobel treatment, making in a wonderful product. Check it out! @flatoutgames.bsky.social @bethsobel.bsky.social @emilykeepskitties.bsky.social

If you pass a cat that is looking particularly snug, and petting them has a 50% chance of increasing the snugness vs decreasing the snugness, so you pet?

Hi artists! Are you new to professional art? My top tip: If you are going to be late on a project, communicate that as soon as you know it. Apologize. I promise the client will be relieved by your communication, you will be relieved by not having to stress as much, and everyone wins! No ghosting!

First I was alive for 23 years, then I got married, now I have been married for 23 years. He's so good, y'all. 1000000000/5 stars, do recommend.

She doesn’t even fold the laundry.

Will I be cutting shingles this evening with a hook blade utility knife, or wearing a fabulously deadly fake mustache? Who can say!

A series of very dangerous fake mustaches. Or a series of hook blades. Literally impossible to tell which.

This was such a phenomenal debut! If you like stand alone fantasy with a bit of folklore flavor that explores who is served by the histories we keep, this one deserves a read!

beth @bethsobel.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

This was such a fantastic read

That's so kind, thank you!

I don't know how to solve for games with many contributing artists. Maybe a line of surnames at the bottom? Everyone on the back? Hard to say.

And they paid an artist for probably 1/50th the labor, and summarily at 1/50th the rate.

As an attention-shy human, I have complicated feelings about my name on game boxes. That said, in this era of AI trash, if I do not see a human artist name on a game box, I will hesitate to buy it.

Overpainting AI art does not make it look like human-made art.

Alas I formed my habit before said button existed. Plus now I can wander more and don't have to stand there ready to re-press.

I have never heard of this but it does make sense

But zero house fires, and even zero over-microwaved food!

Okay, that's not awful, but it lacks the ease of 3333go. I like your style though.

Much to Daniel's utter dismay, I do not

Power tools & tape measures, yay!

What is the correct way to microwave and why is it pushing 33:33 and turning it off when you feel like it based on vibes

beth @bethsobel.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Honestly, fine, as long as we can play something after. Games!

I could build some stuff from scratch for fun, though. That involves far less disaster.

beth @bethsobel.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Currently rebuilding a shed which is kind of fun. I was thinking I hope I can rebuild some other stuff but then I realized something would have to really break for that to happen, so now I hope I never have to rebuild anything ever again!
