The only Christopher Nolan movie I really dig is Memento. I can appreciate parts of the rest of 'em. But as a whole, I just don't connect.

I've been running a social-club-third-space centered around gaming for going on four years. Whenever I see people post about the sorts of spaces we need, societally, I mentally check all the requisites we hit. It's gone really well, we're not going anywhere. It's tiring work, but rewarding.

I forgot to post this yesterday, but we've got two more of these this year. Thought that counts?

My art assets and dystopic, corporate entity branding work, so far, for a Mothership adventure and sourcebook I'm working on.

I made an Affinity asset library for all the bits and bobs I'm adding to sci-fi maps for my Mothership sourcebook. It makes piecing together complex scenes (like this Ace Judicial corporate mediation chamber) buildable, fast.

'Couple more fictional corporations for a Mothership sourcebook I'm working on. The list grows, but the corpo stooges and grunts gotta come from somewhere. And the businesses beget all the rest in a setting like this.

Compilation of all my Mothership corpo-distopia logos from yesterday and tonight. Got a lot more to make for my sourcebook. I've freelance illustrated & designed for clients like Nike, Burton, Nickelodeon, MST3K, etc, for 20+ years, so I'm putting on my vector hat for these and having some fun.

Working on the fictional independent corporate entities for my dystopic Mothership ttrpg sourcebook. It's a great excuse to make some fake logos. Lmao.

Finished my two-level corpo-research vessel map for a @mothership.bsky.social one-shot I'm running soon. Drawing all the bits as I went is creating a bit of a vector asset library to more quickly make maps for Mothership in the future which makes me happy.

Making some new animations for my club's game room, today (I projection mapped the walls and table for running D&D--well, DCC, in my case).
100 year old walnut lining the walls of room setup for playing tabletop RPGs. There's a 12' projected battlemap and two faux-windows with hand animated scenes.

I have monster designs for Sam Raimi's production company created almost 20 years ago that I can't show. And work from Mystery Science Theater 3000 that has been under NDA for, yeesh, around 10 years? Gail's got it right.

Come with me on a journey. One of my many freelance gigs was creating art for Nick--SpongeBob art, specifically. It needed to be weird enough that kids would think it rad, but not so weird parents wouldn't buy it. The dictate after the first round of revisions was to, paraphrasing, make it more me.

Alex Raymond’s most famous creation, Flash Gordon, is so ingrained into American pop culture that simply his name can be used as shorthand for a specific type of heroic, romantic science fiction. Read More: goodman-games.com/blog/2024/12... #DCCRPG

I can't believe I get to DM surrounded by century-old, wood-lined walls on an equally old, fourteen foot long table. I projection mapped the room and can change out the VTT, faux-windows, and wall sculptures with whatever animated skins I make.

I made 4-up, zero-level character sheets for @goodmangames.bsky.social's Mutant Crawl Classics. Before we started our gaming social club, I streamed in games on Goodman's Twitch, and I love DCC/MCC. They're simple sheets, but a bit of design to make the medicine go down never hurt anyone.
