I want to make a TTRPG that plays like Big Walk. Finished playing with some friends a couple weeks ago and haven't stopped thinking about it! Having a chill experience that asks you to find new ways to communicate is really cool and feels like it could be an amazing tabletop game somehow.

LOVE these monthly/daily prompt lists. The only one I ever finished had me drawing 31 NPCs for a home game that eventually became Dragon Town. Never know where taking a leap and trying an exercise for fun will take you!

Making a video about selling zines (not looking for a distro myself) and would like to include some good TTRPG zine distros like IPR. Any recommendations?

Just put in a big zine restock with Mixam and noticed that changing the quantity from 250 to 249 saved me between $60 and $80 depending on the page count of the zine. Only difference was it changed the printer from an Indigo 100k to an Indigo 7600. Wish they would explain the difference!

As usual, Clayton has some great perspective on a simple, but super important part of the zine/book making process. My zines are half-letter (digest, 8.5x11 inches folded in half) but I think about switching it up to A4 (again, folded in half) all the time!

A cartoonist named Daniel "Des" Rolando Sanchez Estrada was tried as a terrorist and sentenced to 30 years in prison for having anti-Trump comics in his car. Prosecutors connected him to a 2025 anti-ICE protest he didn't even attend because he was in the same book club as others who were.
