WOW okay you guys killed that. Here's the example! (The rooms aren't in the right order, as I was just messing around with placement stuff.) Get us to 150 and I'll show a REAL layout spread of Level 1.

DriveThruRPG's "Partner Shipping Program" (where they take physical orders and you fulfill them) is getting worse and worse for the consumer all the time. I don't need to extract an extra $2 from you when I ship. I build those costs into my business model. I never asked them to do this.

Partner Shipping Program (PSP) Update
Effective June 24, 2026, to help account for the growing costs of handling and packaging, a flat $2 USD handling fee will be added to each PSP order and passed through to you, in addition to the current shipping fees we pass along.

Temp map for a new project. Crowdfunding in early Fall. (Some changes still need to be made, but I needed this for internal use.)

These are hard numbers of everything I've ever printed for all the supplements for SEE YOU, SPACE COWBOY... Obviously Ceres has existed twice as long as the other two. Looks like it's between 25 and 50% of your print run.

Ours is still evolving, as it probably always will as we get new products. But I like The Grid, and a tiered acrylic or wood stand is pretty standard.

I am sorry, humble glue stick, for ever doubting you.

Scraps of cardstock paper and red transparent film with circles cut out and a circular die cut hole punch. A glue stick sits near it.

remembering that @chaoclypse.bsky.social did some work once (that I modified and threw into layout? for some reason?) to basically make it #:20 based on terrain, but I still feel like there's a better/faster way to read existing bones rather than roll new ones.

Sure, why not. YEAR OF THE DRAGON is a megamodule for the scifi space bounty hunter jazz fusion TTRPG SEE YOU, SPACE COWBOY... It contains a 7-10 bounty adventure featuring the nefarious Zodiac Syndicate, led by the MASTER OF DRAGONS. the zodiac art and guy from Frank Miller Ronin are placeholder

HBHS special edition cover. Dani (redhead in green shirt) reads a secret note while the background features Sam (sporty nonbinary doofus the size of Krillin), Roxxi (black school journalist in yellow gear), Mark (sleepy misunderstood grunge boy) and Chloe (fat girl who doesn't give a fuck).

Hey Look, Random Encounters! There was a fairly interesting nested encounter table in the 1973 OD&D draft. I think I interpreted it wrong but I got stuck in it. Then I did some quick revisions, moved some shit around, etc. Use it or don't! Free!

My experience with tab stops is actually worse than the experience with using tables. Also, I don't see an easy/quick way to make the entries have alternating coloured backgrounds, or fuck with the alignment, as per:

I was talking to 86 a while ago and I think if Thundercracker were in blue camo from here on out, that would make everyone happy. It was based off looking at this statue with bad cel cel.shading and going "if that were done intentionally, as camo, it would be cool."

I talk about how I wanted to make video games as a kid, but the realization that that was possible came exclusively from reading the included guidebook to Wolfenstein 3D and seeing these guys in the book. The knowledge that normal guys made the thing I was enjoying was hugely inspiring.
