The thing I love about Fall is that the way the sun turns, bright light pours into our dining room in the morning

Jason’s maps are beautiful and brilliant, and this will make a fine addition to anyone’s games library.

Histories come in many forms. Jason Bradley Thompson's maps of classic adventures are some of the most unique and definitely the most visually evocative. I am so, so happy that some of them are seeing print in a book. (They're out in April, but you can preorder now from your favorite bookseller.)

Quasit's Daily Book Recommendations: "S. Petersen's Field Guide To the Creatures of the Dreamlands" (1989) by Sandy Petersen et alia Age Range: 14 to adult Genre: Fantasy, Horror, Tabletop RPG Okay, I'll admit that this is a VERY odd one. I won't do many of […] [Original post on beige.party]

A view from space (?) of a segment of the Dreamlands. In the background over the edge of the globe is the cratered Moon, with stars and aurorae beyond. On the globe we see a map showing a section of continent. It includes the Nomad Lands, Lomar, the Cerenarian Sea, Mnar, the Fantastic Realms, Sona Nyl, and more. The colors are electrifying.

A greenish butterfly-dragon flutters amidst greenery.

A Cat from Saturn.

"A creature only vaguely cat-like, its body is of molded abstract
arabesques and filigree, and brightly hued. Jewel-like nodes cover
the flanks. At one end of the body is a baroque object, identifiable
as a head by the great round eyes. As a Cat from Saturn moves, it
extends legs from within it; at various times no, one, two, three, or
four legs exist and function. A retractable tail (or appendage of
unknown purpose) concludes the body."

A sailor in the skies of the Dreamlands encounters Larvae of the Outer Gods.

"The infinity of larval shapes makes useful distinction
impossible. Rely upon their habitat (outer space) and behavior to
identify them."

these are so good, check out the examples in the thread, I love the one for Isle of Dread, which I played with friends in my teens as part of the Expert boxed set.

Hey everyone! I'm so excited to announce this! If you like the D&D 'walkthrough maps' I've done over the years, I'm proud to present my new book... DUNGEONS! ILLUSTRATED MAPS OF CLASSIC DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ADVENTURES, coming from Ten Speed Press on April 27, 2027! (1/4) #dnd #ttrpg

"Dungeons!" book cover showing the exterior of the Tomb of Horrors, in a nighttime swamp, surrounded by red-eyed monsters. A group of stick-figure adventurers stands with a lantern preparing to enter the tomb

Maybe it’s just my particular subject matter but over the years I have had to draw so much blood. Usually I do a 75% multiply red layer, which is good for slightly dried blood, and if you put it over an already bright red makes it look like extra fresh blood 👌

Once you learn that not a single major US news outlet used the phrase "Hamas-ran health ministry" until after 10.17.23 you really start to see how pernicious this stuff is. Nobody really disputed that the GHM was accurate, even Israel admitted so, but that didn't matter. Anyway now it is spreading

I have been drawing these really complicated pieces for months (you’ll see them soon hopefully) and today I got to take a break and draw some simpler cartoons. And it is going so fast!! I feel like I’ve developed my skills from the work. Like Goku and Kuririn when they take off the turtle shell

If you’re in such a left wing (or far right wing) bubble as to not recognize “Kamala Harris is popular”, come on. 🙄 I had and have major issues with her but most of my Basic Democrat family supported her completely. Her endorsement is obviously good for any candidate running as a Dem

“Backrooms” (half finished 😅): I love this. Will review fully later. Decades ago I had an 8-bit home video game where if you did the right thing you could enter a bug zone of garbage ASCII characters and random pixels where you would probably die. Backrooms is someone making a horror movie of that

There is of course also the fact that doing a ‘straight faced’ recreation of the distant past with its terrible social attitudes might just be so unpalatable that audiences will only accept it as an exaggerated comedy

“Monster: Lizzie Borden”: Bad. Stopped watching in the middle. I admit I really liked the Dahmer & Menendez Bros “Monster” serials. But this & the Ed Gein one (by different directors) are so cheesy. The main problem is they’re set in cartoon versions of the past, they’re impossible to take seriously

“May December”: An actress planning to play her goes to live with a thinly fictionalized Mary Kay Letourneau, now ‘happily’ married to her now-adult mol*station victim & their children. Simmering psychodrama, could be a play. I listen-watched it but would watch again to catch the body language. 1/2

Jason Bradley Thompson @mockman.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

“Baby Reindeer”: based on an autobio theater monologue, this is the story of a flawed aspiring actor stalked by a desperate mentally ill woman. I enjoyed it. Explores the codependent relationships people form with their abusers. 1/2

Again thinking about how to better draw clouds. Is it possible that drawing a REALLY good dense cloudy sky is actually too time consuming for what it gives you? Should I just use photos & stock art? There must be an awesome cloud drawing tutorial out there…

“Slumberland” (2002): was thinking back to this movie. The plot is actually ok and has some interesting concepts. The crime is the designs, it’s inspired by “Little Nemo” but doesnt use any of McCay’s designs. Like sitting on top of a pile of gold and not spending it. Also the nightmare design sucks

This isn't a metaphor. Just a story about a roach. COMIC ◆ www.smbc-comics.com/comic/roach-2 PATREON ◆ www.patreon.com/ZachWeinersm... STORE ◆ smbc-store.myshopify.com

4-panel SMBC comic update. The first panel shows a cartoon little roach happily saying "oh man! The stupid human put food in here. fool!" The next panel shows the roach walking away from a poison trap as he says "I’m gonna give it to everyone!" The third panel shows a human at his computer with a similar expression to that of the cartoon roach. The man says "this stupid company made a controversial ad. How embarrassing for them!" The man then walks away from the computer desk, at an angle reminiscent to the panel where the roach walks away from the poison trap. The man says "better share with all my friends and family so everyone knows which ad not to look at."
