I've replaced all my spinner verbs in Claude with an aggregated list of loading messages from SimCity 2000 and The Sims and it's resulted in a 2.2% QoQ increase in joy-related KPIs.

Glad I'm not the only one that thinks about the Vonnegut asshole illustration when they see the Claude logo. Clear memory of my dad's friend showing me this illustration when I was a kid after he'd had a few. velvetshark.com/ai-company-l...

I'll be honest, I genuinely thought I was losing my mind.

Sketching around a data vis / data "vibes" cookbook that I sometimes fantasize about existing.

Data-vis-like sketches. What might it look like to represent instruction and information in a recipe in a visualized way?

It features 13 keyed locations, 8 pieces of vintage candy and Over the Garden Wall vibes. In a clearing in the woods, two vintage Halloween masks stand sentry in lurid grimace.

Map of the adventure site, including two masks staring at each other across a clearing, a hollowed out tree and an underground den beneath a tree stump.

It features 13 keyed locations and 8 types of candy to power up your mice. In a clearing in the woods, two masks stand sentry in lurid grimace. Hidden in hollows behind the discarded vizards, enemy camps are braced in standoff, waiting for fortune to turn in their favor.

Preview of the adventure pamphlet, showing an area map including two creepy masks, a hollowed out tree and underground hovel beneath an old stump.

Normalize using the Haunted Mansion font for all signage.

Signage along a drive at a seaside motel that reads "No Cars Beyond This Point" in the Haunted Mansion font (or a very similar one).

This kid's got the right idea. Works by my 8yo son.

Handmade trading cards made by an eight-year-old, including a "foil" made from aluminum.

Pinned to a corkboard, a many-colored drawing of various elemental powers or modifiers, made by an eight-year-old. For example, orange is "lava bubble," a blue is "blue outrage," and purple is "olisoun" ("illusion").

Sketch for my DCC table, currently excursioning in Gabor Lux's Castle Xyntillan. A strangely light-footed, grandiosely bearded thespian emerges to greet the party, accompanied by a flock of strange flying cloth eels, fuligin in color. #DungeonCrawlClassics #dccrpg #CastleXyntillan #osr #ttrpg

Digital sketch of an elaborately robed figure walking (floating) on light toe steps. Around him are arrayed ten ribbon-like cloth entities, aligned to point in front of him.

Logo for a one-shot open table I'm aiming to start soon. The goal is to run one-shots in rules-light OSR systems, with pregen characters and high lethality. Try out new systems and playtest original adventures. #ttrpg #osr

Outlaws of Thunder Junction isn't fully spoiled yet, there's still a chance for a black board wipe called Tarnation. #mtg #magicthegathering

A foil copy of the Magic the Gathering card Damnation, which costs 2BB and destroys all creatures, in a plastic hard sleeve. Next to it is a hand drawn cartoon of a Western-themed version of the card called "Tarnation." The black mana symbols in the casting coat have a cowboy hat and bull horns.

Sketchy Castle Xyntillan isometric map to create that tasty mental map. Turned out to be quite useful with the players, too. Next steps: draw in the dungeon level and note inter-level connections.

Rough digital isometric sketch of Castle Xyntillan by Gabor Lux, overlaid with a few notes in magenta.

Local area map for my DCC campaign as the players approach Gabor Lux's Castle Xyntillan. (Tours-en-Savoy has been renamed to Veznat.) The party is tasked with smuggling an ancient sarcophagus (gurgling and bubbling emanating from within) into the inner courtyard.

A simple drawing of Castle Xyntillan atop a rising slope that ends in a cliff face. Labeled in handwritten all-caps are the two entrances, the gate and the grand entrance, along with the inner courtyard. The slope is covered in pines, a winding road weaving through the forest. Below the castle is the small town of Veznat. In the town is labeled "The Black Comedian," "Hospital," "Church," "Prefect," "Apothecary," "Curios," and "The Tap." Houses pepper the surrounding area.

Tuning into the artists Drink & Draw at Goodman Games' Indie RPG Summit. This is a happy place. Makes me a bit ashamed to have wholly gone digital these days.

A video seminar of artists, each of them aiming their cameras at an in progress illustration on paper.

kanabō - two-handed long studded metal club Learned while reading up on the Oni yokai from Japanese folklore for Sean Aaberg's Monster Drawing Club. These murderous and cannabilistic ogre demons typically carry the clubs as they pursue their monstrous appetites and ends.

Crayon drawing of a male Oni, with red skin, a loincloth, gray hair and two curved white horns. It carries a kanabō, a long studded mace, over its shoulder. Also pictured are the crayons used to draw the image. Done for Gonlinko's Monster Drawing Club in 2020.

Prep for Gabor Lux's Castle Xyntillan. Starting with a rough high level mental map.

A hand drawn thumbnail map of Castle Xyntillan, with dotted lines indicating floors above ground level. The map is keyed with high-level sections to better understand the sections of the dungeon key.

The table of contents of a printed copy of Castle Xyntillan. Colorful neon tabs line the page edges as bookmarks to the many sections of the dungeon key.

31. An entrance to the mythic underworld Made it! Third time getting all 31 illustrations done, first time doing it on time! This series will return in a bit with the goal of getting to 72 illustrations for a d12.d6 table.

An isometric illustration of a dungeon room, done in a simple, low-detail style. A large square room with a large open chasm in the middle. A ladder descends into the chasm. We can see that it continues down, far below the room. The caption reads, "An entrance to the mythic underworld."

27. Magic items that might change play

An isometric illustration of a dungeon room, done in a simple, low-detail style. The room is an ice cavern. There is one entrance on the upper left wall. A throne of ice sits in the middle of the room. A figure lies on the floor, wearing a robe and with a big white bushy beard. The head has decayed to a skull. From the head, a three-pronged crown has fallen. The caption reads, "Magic items that might change play."
