Whoever wrote the main rule book for the new Discworld TTRPG understood the assignment. Footnotes, humorous asides, fourth wall breaking — it almost perfectly captures Pterry’s writing style while still being a TTRPG rule book. Well done!

So I've published my first ever game on itch. Because posting things of my own scares the hell out of me. But... romantasy jam 🥺💛 I wanted to play, too. So I've made a little one-page, solo romance TTRPG called Bloom Amidst the Weeds. It's fully human made, handwritten and hand doodled. Am nervous.

Here's the comic that Tumblr peer-reviewed so hard that I finally went out and got assessed for ADHD. (they were right)

A artist sits next to her externalized brain, a small, pink, wrinkled blob with innocent eyes and a pair of hands. The brain is happily playing some sort of video game, as indicated by the controller it holds in the anatomically incorrect hands that it has been given. The artist looks bored as she watches it play.

"Okay, this is a lot of fun," the artist ventures. She reaches out to take the controller from her brain. "But how about we go get some more work d-"

The little brain turns scarlet with rage and emits a bone-shattering screech the second the artist touches the controller in its hands.

So, you have a logo. I want you to run it through these tests, to see if it's an effective logo, or just a nice illustration. Because I see so many people who reveal logos for their new, exciting thing ... and it's not fit for purpose. And you'll learn that hard way if you don't check.

I figured I should’ve said what it’s about, oops xD So here’s the cringy AF blurb of the short story, titled ‘A Knife in the Storm’ 🔪⛈️ xD

Blurb describing the short story: “Kaim has been hired as the new and lethal bodyguard of Lord Shinaar Geldan, the young leader of one of the most powerful noble houses in Stormyr. As his Shield, Kaim must protect him with his life… except that he’s actually on a mission to kill Lord Geldan.
A foreigner in a land always covered by gloomy clouds and regularly shaken by supernatural storms—caused by giant flying worms, Kaim hides more than just one secret: a monster stirs inside him. After a sudden attack, the two must travel alone to the capital, to escape from whomever is also trying to murder Shinaar. A perfect opportunity for Kaim to plunge the knife. That is, if he doesn’t fall for him first, as he wasn’t expecting to find his target so charming.”

-we've always had people who were "a bit weird". If they were lucky they stayed home or got a job that didn't require much. If they not they were institutionalized -diagnosis happens when demands exceed someone's ability to cope. Our society has vastly increased demands over the last decade
