Tarot card # 15, The Devil
A forest with blue trees and small white imps dancing in a circle. The trees have large, inhuman eyes.

Some difficult choices, but each of these definitely left a mark on me.

New card layouts for TarotWeaver. Felt that using arabic numerals and symbols made the cards far easier to use during play. #ttrpg #tarot #osr

Trying a new surface for water color. So far, it’s wildly different from standard WC paper. Not sure what I think so far.

Hey, what the fuck? I'm finalizing stuff on TarotWeaver, and getting around to alt text, just to find Adobe has been using AI to generate alt text this whole fucking time?? God I can't wait to flush this company down the toilet once this project is done.

From my own anecdotal exprience, DnD persists only because of its weird sunk-cost cultural impact. Knowing DnD suddenly grants you access to an entire subculture of memes and jokes. This is exemplified by Thinger Strange blowing up 5e's popularity. Same goes for products like Pokemon and Warhammer.

4 panel comic

Panel 1:
A post from “kavishj9611” that reads: 

“All the people who are anti-Al or want to slow Al progress, I have one question:
If Al disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through an entire workday without ChatGPT, Claude, or any other
Al tool?
Imagine Al was suddenly banned.
Would you actually be willing to give it up?”

Panel 2:
And Orange Guy and a Pink Guy are standing in a room that has two pipes in it. Both pipes are pumping raw sewage into the room. The characters are waist deep in it.
Orange Guy says smugly “Ok Mr “I don’t want to be in a room that’s filling up with raw sewage” let me ask you this”

Panel 3:
The sewage has reached their chests. Pink Guy is gagging. Orange Guy smugly continues “If all this sewage disappeared right now, could you get through the day without it?”

Panel 4:
The sewage is almost up to their eyeballs. Orange Guys says “Look at that shit floating past your face. Are you willing to give that up?”

Major Arcana for TarotWeaver. One big design decision I made with the reprint was that roman numerals were quite bad for readability in game play. Implementing standard numbers made the whole game that much easier to play at the table.

Finally getting around to reading the Artist’s Way. While I find it interesting, the overtly heavy Christian dogma pulls me out. Still open to the process, just not all the “God is the divine creator” stuff. I thought it‘d be a minor nuisance going in but it’s written into like half the principles.

#portfolioday has me reflecting on my own art and why I haven’t drawn in a while. Looking back on some of my older work, it’s quite bad. I’ve been debating whether to start again. Here’s a few prices I am still proud of, however.

Solo Play Sneak Peak
Since the first iteration of TarotWeaver I had many requests for a solo version. I struggled with how this would work for a while and I think much of that revolved around the core rules needing re-too...
