You want a song, it’s Portishead’s “We Carry On” . Also glad that I slowed to see the car make on the license plate “N 8YOND” matched my expectations today.

Got some time to be myself on an airplane and remembered what happens.

Black and white ink sketch that arguably has more texture than shape. One admittedly round shape and one maybe figure holding something like a whip or magic spell, depending on outlook.

Bro, @lukegearing.bsky.social : To Reveal the Secrets of the Anatomy... . . . Me proper birthing an abomination to gain the spell extension on this one over and over, don't care what it takes or what my womb looks like after. The organs will delight, and best believe there will be witnesses.

also, fukit. a rangu treehouse; —orangehaired, apelike creatures with toolmaking & weaving capacities—, practicing sketch to digital photoshop transfers for someday, maybe.

Black and white drawing of Sir Perry on Plenz the Steed in front of gnarly thick tree leaning over; an intelligent monkey's house is done up in the branches. Everything is very textured.

More from Big Dave, @lukegearing.bsky.social I took your Grand Unified Theory and applied it. I couldn't hit so many dice pools and stay sane so I tightened it to only d8's. Re: the Wé, here— drive.google.com/file/d/1txdU... And thanks for the seed. Implemented this eve. 1 success.

Dog day aside: @lukegearing.bsky.social, the fact that Big Dave of Swyvers example text fame showed up at number 6 in the Random Affairs table behind the Duke of Shalshrop sent me absolutely sniggering this eve. Kudos. Sincerely hope there is a real Big Dave out there.

@lukegearing.bsky.social, it was this particular Mien table when I hit my stride with the poetry of Acid Death Fantasy. I know that's a long way in, but it prompted me to go back and back again.

Know any good blog posts or supplements about PCs developing group strongholds, mercenary company outposts, or, more generically, integrating into local communities as habitants rather than rovers? Happy to pore over both crunch or philosophy as provided. System unimportant. Gracias. #osr #ttrpg

One of the most generative, mad-maxxian images @k87207844.bsky.social managed to create was C-28's Elgerhig, who haunts the wastelands of Corrhéo with his merry Manse. Indexing goes on, more n' more like a table of contents. Concision concision concision, they chant. #osr #ttrpg #development

More Year Two #osr #ttrpg #development — Corrhéo indexing rolls on. We tried for three landmarks per hex, a hex a week. Some weeks there were only two. Fun to see where the gaps lie. Fun to remember trying to keep up. There was one night I just stared at a tourist's guide to Venice and wrote.

Me and @fatcharlie.bsky.social and @kweekwegg.bsky.social and SL (srlangston99.wixsite.com/cafe-cadet/c...) putting out a ZINE. Felt good to feel pages today. Thing doesnt have any #ttrpg #osr elements yet but should, could, will? I got a big enough hand in there I think so. Patreoners get it. ✌️

First landmark I wrote, 2024, Jan.-Somethin. Before any lore there were orangutans. Now first illustration I'll try. #monkeywork #osr #ttrpg #development #sketch #art Good to be drawing again even if composition lacks for something. Flowstate, baby.

The slow clean-up begins. Last year's #hexplore24 resulted in about 200k words between me and @k87207844.bsky.social ; now to make it legible, even interesting, to an outsider. Major indexing, bro #ttrpg #supplement #development #osr

I'm not sure it'll ever feel done, but 2024 is done. Me and Clane made this world of mud, monks, & simulacra in an effort to honor Hot Springs Island and extend hands over a world of our own. Heading towards paper. For now it's a mess. #osr #ttrpg #hexplore24 www.worldanvil.com/w/corrheo-k8...
