One of my favorite parts of creating Ahu Tiiko was the complex web of NPCs and their interconnections. It was important for them not just to feel like real people, but also for them to have real relationships. bit.ly/4e95p4c I'm going to talk about them a bit... 🧵 #PeopleOfAhuTiiko

I love seeing Here We Used to Fly amongst all these amazing games, but even more than that I love seeing my friends’ games there as well. It’s like we all had little game children and now they get to chase each other around the playground for a few days. Games are cool. Go play games.

Practicing drawing dragons for the next Perils & Princesses TTRPG adventure, and I’m pretty happy with how this one turned out. I have to admit: drawing dragons is so hard for me. Four legs, plus wings is just too many appendages!
