I’ve been thinking a lot more about freelance design and how mystifying it is to most people, especially if you came through the proverbial back door with rpgs. Today, I’m thinking about the three most popular pricing models and my thoughts on them. www.explorersdesign.com/working-desi...

How about a whole new setting to use with Asher's Ridge, complete with a "limited series" string of episode longlines to play through? Stay tuned.

A book mockup featuring a lighthouse set against a green-gold sky. The title is "No one lives in Port Robert (Anymore).

To the left of the mockup text reads "Next time(crossed out) year on Asher's Ridge..."

To the right of the mockup text reads "In December 1951 the population of Port Robert and the island of Calraithe disappeared overnight. No-one knows what happened to this day.

In 2026 you got the greenlight for a limited series television show:
No one lives in Port Robert (Anymore).

You decide to film on location. There’s one problem: It’s October 1951, and you’ve no way home."

I'm going to be making another big beautiful map shortly, and so I wonder: how much of its making would folks like to see? (Yes, it's an Asher's Ridge setting that I need to get onto a page. No, I don't know when it will be finished. Yes, I am enjoying it.)

A large A1 map of Asher's Ridge, with a book and location cards scattered on top of it. It's on an old wooden floor covered in leaf litter. Spoiling the vibe is a plastic "really useful box" in the lower right corner. It annoys me.
