One of my most fun one shots of the year to run. Excellent game design by @dngnclub.itch.io and it's definitely worth adding to your physical collection.

Thinking a lot recently about the ebb and flow of creating, reviewing, receiving, and resting.... and realizing that I'm pretty unbalanced in which of these four things I dedicate my time to. (Hint, what's resting!)

The cover I painted for @applefordhearth.itch.io's cozy-melancholy solo journaling game Awakened Applewood! This was such a joy to work on <3. Available digitally and in print! at rpg-trader.com/products/937...

The cover for a solo journaling game called Awakened Applewood (by Appleford Hearth Studio). It is painted in watercolor, in a style meant to evoke illuminated manuscripts. The central image features a carved wooden dragon walking away from a stone shrine. Beyond is a hilltop castle with a thriving riverside town below. Surrounding the central illustration are twisting branches and four vignettes showing the dragon talking with various villagers.

If needed or a more specific vibe. Many can be altered to just... Not include direct reference to the burgeoning overarching emergent void plot and not lose their pizazz.

If my self published itch ones are considered in the mix, I think Bride or Die (free in sprigs and kindling or on itch) can be campy and lighthearted, or Country Friend Stakes I've ran as a one shot many a time. I've played... Nearly every published mystery at this point, happy to suggest more

Sydney (Shawk Games) @shawkgames.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Official published ones, I'd go GBBBO for a bake off spin off. For bird puns, hunting down the patreon exclusive Murder Most Fowl is always a good time. Third party, I really enjoy Good Buy, Cruel World for a mall walking murder mystery.

Happy labor day! Freelancers are forbidden from collective bargaining in the US, and so companies have suppressed labor power and maximized profits by assigning work that would be done by staff to freelancers. This is part of why there are so few actual staff jobs in the TTRPG world in the USA!

They say you can't wear white after labor day, so good thing these shrimp city shirts are cream 😎 We have 15 of these bad boys left then they're gone forever. Help your friends understand arthropod phylogeny once and for all, because baby, shrimps isn't bugs- bugs is shrimps. SquidFacts.net

A cream colored shirt with a red and blue design featuring 9 crustaceans and a fly. A scuba diving Fly Says a”am I shrimp too?” A pistol shrimp wearing a cowboy hat says “bang bang” a mantis shrimp says KO, the title says a”shrimp city and friends” a hermit crab uses a skull
As a shell, a jumbo shrimp is labeled himbo shrimp, and a yeti crab is labeled “snack bacteria cafe”. The fly has an asterisk next to
Him and underneath the whole design it says *the latest research shows that bugs is actually shrimp”

Played Little Glade Guardian by @ap-cartography.bsky.social for #soloseptember and our solo #ttrpg book club! LOVED It! My mossling guardian in training took on curious ants, bumblebees needing transportation, slug reunions, and a small seed trading war!

Two A4 pages of paper with green and orange handwritten text all over them, sitting on a desk. The left upper corner has a blanket underneath, and the right side has a desk mat underneath the papers. Written on them are gameplay from the game Little Glade Guardian by AP. Three fountain pens are in the lower right side, a transparent orange, a green aluminium, and a multicolored blue red and green one in ascending order.

You ever stand in a place as an adult and feel too tall at five foot some odd inches, because all your memories there were when you were a child? I'm too tall in this house with no AC. My rent paying hands holding toys my parents played with, then passed along to us, are struggling to comprehend.

If I see an AI-generated thumbnail, I don't click on the video. If I think I'm watching AI-generated content, I click/swipe away. If you're "creating" AI-generated content, I'm biased to think you're a lazy person looking for shortcuts with little creative ambition.
