I had a little craft night and I ended up making this fun collage ✌️

A collage with a space back ground and three panels of a Garfield comic cut and glued on, but Garfield has been replaced with Heathcliff the cat instead. There is a title that says "Garfield Garfield Garfield Liff. America's Craziest Car". The first panel had John saying, "What Time Is It, Garfield?" with Heathcliff running away. Second panel has Heathcliff looking annoyed at a clock. The third panel has Heathcliff upset saying "What am I doing? I can't tell time".

So my son suddenly got into Pokemon and watching the first season of the anime. I've completely forgot how wild the show went. We got: - Spirits of Humans and Pokemon! - GIANT Pokemon - Mech Shaped Pokemon - 10 Mile Long Bridge - Characters Being Turned Into Dolls - Guns! - Any of the Pokedex Entrys

I statted out all 151 Kanto Pokémon for Into the Oddish, with default movesets for each! My goal was to create a complete reference document analogous to D&D's Monster Manual. It was a lot of work, but hopefully it will ease the burden on all those who wish to run this game. Enjoy! #TTRPG #Pokémon

Writing up a rough draft for a small mech hack for Cairn. I think I failed in capturing the rules philosophy of Cairn in the hack, but that's ok. I'm just having fun designing and writing. Check out this placeholder art I doodled, just a big fella!

One thing I should have said in the video. I have this attitude that defines our community spaces, but I've never really talked about it. It is this: People rise to your level of expectation. If you treat people like intelligent, responsible, introspective adults, they will behave that way.

It's done! Much like our diminutive heroine, I've reached the end of this particular quest. Shout out to every dungeon synth artist; I must have listened to most of them while working on this.

Ink illustration of a small ruined castle on a mountain spire. A huge, sinuous, dragonlike creature curls around the tower, peering down at a weary warrior approaching up stairs carved into the rock. The sky is full of dark stormclouds, but a sunbeam illuminates the scene.

seven part pact launches in 2 days, here's some sketches by @badbucket.bsky.social showing the process for designing different boards — each of the seven wizards has their own board game with completely different rules (and inspiration from different styles of medieval art)

the necromancer's board, with the gates of death flowing down

the hierophant's board, composed of five temples interlocking

the faustian's board, with 12 communities each being tormented by the devil

the sage's board, inspired by the book of kells, a whirling map of different regions

Berkey's ships are my favorite SF ships because they're physically ridiculous. Dude was not Ron Cobb who could only draw it if he could see how it would "work." He wasn't trying to draw "the future" he was trying to draw something impossibly cool.
