after nearly a year(!!) playing Echoes in the Valley in #Vanitera450 I finally got some commissioned art of her - dancing with Saga Lindgren at the Tourhaute ball - and I’m very happy with what @user-nu11.bsky.social came up with!

I hated how DnD grid-n-minis combat slowed play to an absolute crawl - so I made a game that does it better. Unique attacks, no misses, set damage, a bond system, and more makes Tacticians of Ahm's combat all tactical killer, no boring filler. Get it here: meatcastlegameware.itch.io/tacticians-o...

Valeria does it again! This time, slaying misconceptions with survey data. I’ll be using “Picaresque” to describe my favourite style of (OSR) gaming from now on, it’s the perfect term.

"hate" is a strong word. I guess Pathfinder is good at what it's trying to do but that happens to be a double-down on all the aspects of modern D&D that I dislike: "builds", minis and tactical grid, measurements and templates, trends toward linear "balanced combat" adventure design, etc. Not for me!

same as the collapse of third spaces and hobby shops. it's the rents, it's always the rents. also: people will travel from other cities to go the The Lanes in Brighton because its one city which bothered to designate a space for independent businesses instead of chains and money-laundering fronts.

Most on here know me for my art, but I've also been known to drop some word salad here and there. I have a short story in each of the first two Mothership Megadamage Megazine issues, and I'm really proud of both of them. Glad people can finally read the 1st one ^_^
Cover of Mothership Megadamage Megazine. MEGADAMAGE repeated vertically. Looks like 2 divers or space-suited EVA peoples with flashlights/torches approaching a sunken or parked vehicle Megadamage #2 cover. MEGADAMAGE repeated like the first cover, only this time in a curving, overlapping way. not sure of the actual subtle imagery behind that, sorry

I hope more folks sign up and Rascal makes it. The sad truth is that economy of scale matters a lot to the value proposition of online journalism: more subscribers, more money for journalism, more articles for everyone. It's hard to get out of this downward spiral, so I hope folks will help.

a positive spin: it still hasn't caught up to *diceless storygame* Realis in number of backers despite being supported by a bunch of the biggest names in D&D youtube (though it is massively exceeding Realis on $$ raised because of $1000 whale tier backers), with a year of lead-up promo.

I forgot to post this! @meatcastlegameware.com's kickass #BaselineDrift character, SUREFIRE. This is my rendition of them for the Six of Wands card.
A lineless illustration of a person. A white border around the image, a black background, with six turquoise lines exceeding the bounds of the border, all angled to point toward the person's head. All "curves" in the character illustration are actually sharp corners. The character wears an intense expression (kind of smiling, kind of grimacing), a studded leather jacket with a patch reading VOX on the chest, a white tank top, orange work pants, and combat boots. They're crouched down with one foot resting on the "camera," which views them from a low angle. They have a red pompadour with the sides of their hair shaved. They have many tattoos, including a shock collar on their neck, a speech bubble reading DIE on their face, and a check mark on their right hand. In that hand, they're holding a tablet-like device. Their eyes, the VOX patch, and the radiating lines are all the same turquoise color.
