I'm looking to talk to layout designers - considering getting some work done but first wanna chat about how it all works because I've never worked with one before. Process, pricing, timescales, that sorta jazz. If you are one, plz pop me a message :)

Returned from my mini vacation. Look at this wonder. 🥰 In dutch it is called a 'pipowagen', a search said a translation would be a circus wagen. It was super cozy! I could really rest up and think properly.

Some of you are getting too comfy saying that billionaires, AI tech bros, and all the other assholes have to have some psychiatric condition because being a complete utter greedy mean-spirited troll of a person must mean they're crazy. As an actual "crazy" person, fuck you.

I really like module based ttrpg design. Probably keep that in for all my future projects. Really helps my brain with cognitive overload not needing to learn everything at once.

I feel a lot of troubles and misunderstandings can be solved by knowing if your game group does the game primary and social activity secondary or the other way around. Rules feel to me less important when its social activity first. 😅

The controls are so smooth in this game, tassels gotta add tassels xD The dress would probably look better without but you got to have something to fiddle with when anxiety strikes.

Draw steel went well tonight! We had a little break because I had to recover. Made a pretty big maze in the codex and was worried that they might be through it in 5 minutes, but they chose all the deadends so it was good fun for 2 hours with a battle at the end of big horde of demons to slay. 🥰

Me using themes instead of specifics like fruit instead of apple. Does that make it harder to make a recipie book that feels evocative. Yes... XD Am i still going to try? Oh yessss!

Tonight is moodboard making time. 😊 Already have the idea in my mind just needing to find a couple of pictures and smash them into paint with probably a horrible paint picture for extra when necessary.

I am a bit more quiet these days. A ton of energy goes into my big project. It is going super great so far. But it leaves me with less spoons to be super talkative here. 😊 Hope that in 6 months everything will look great to talk about the project more. 🥰

Only the naming left of a couple of skills for the fishing module and it is in a ready state where I can let the writing rest for a bit until all modules are finished to give it another look/edit. 🥰 Also the time to dust off my lists of artists to find the two artists for these portraits.

When you are trying to have 40 different kind of power ups it is pretty hard to keep them all in your head when designing a module. 😂 Especially due to three different systems where they are divided on 13 pages. The horror that I am doing all to myself.

After my medical checkup they advised to add some blueberries and some nuts. The blueberries are pretty decent to do now in my morning yoghurt. The nuts, well those are harder 😂 I have some cashew nuts but need to get used to the feeling and crunchyness. Not a big walnut person either.
