If I did a 24 hour Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen stream with some incentives, would folks show up for that? I am certain I'm gonna want to play a lot of that anyways, and I have some fun incentive ideas...!

Mysterious monoliths make for poor carving material
A large glossy rectangular monolith with an unfinished face carved into it. The monolith is split in half and a mass of pink alien tendrils spill out from within it

a universal feature of the game designer working on a long project is that their next game wells up inside of them until it is physically painful

Inspired by Final Fantasy X, the Xenoblade Chronicles, and Magic Knight Rayearth, Rangers of a Broken World launches in two weeks! Destroy the twisted Horrors. Deceive the Noble Demons. Outlast the relentless Automata. And save your people. Follow the launch now: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e...
A spread from Rangers of a Broken World with the two pages that introduce the Wandering Magus class. A woman in loose-fitting clothes  wearing a long silk scarf floats in the air and weaves a spell across a desert dune. In the distance, a huge spectral tortoise appears. Caption: Wandering Magus. A desert nomad, preserver of ancient knowledge, and reader of the stars, the Magus is an unparalleled hunter. Everything in the world is connected, and no one understands those connections better.

Commissioned some signature-character art for my Wildsea homebrew splats! From the pen of the unfailingly brilliant @neonjawbone.bsky.social, meet Pointpleasant the Varkulac and Old Man Wine Ghost the Saltbound!
A looming, hunch-shouldered moth man stitched together from the corpses of several other mothmen. His wings, covered in uncanny eyespots and looping spirals, lie limp and ragged and are draped around him like a mantle. A third arm with a two-barrelled shotgun grafted into it is held across his body. Three eyes gleam ominously from the shadows of his hooded poncho. He is shirtless and wearing dark tactical pants. A severed human hand with several extra fingers perches on his left shoulder like a pet spider.A human man, skeletally thin and with dessicated, mummified flesh. He is bald and his earlobes are stretched. He is grinning widely, mid-dance, with a wine-gourd raised in his right hand. He wears a festive sarong and wooden geta. A gigantic crab rides piggyback on his shoulders. Salt crystals encrust its shell, and its left claw raised in mirror of his wine-gourd.

Any opportunity to re-post "When the Glove"
Web cartoon of the cartoonist waking up at 5 am, still half-asleep, saying "Just had such a good idea, gotta write it down", and is writing it on a piece of paper.

THE NEXT MORNING

The paper says "When the glove"

The cartoonist stares at the paper.
