Now this looks interesting. I need to dig up the model I made for adepticon last year. Lots of interesting rules here @daggers.tv #nerdling #lyctor #skirmish

I think I uncovered a new East vs West debate: Is the first RPG mob you encounter Slime or Goblin?

In the bonus segment, we speak with award-winning miniature painter @daggers.tv Jamie Daggers (she/her) about her mech artwork for the Seasons of Pride calendar, queer visibility in wargaming, and her game Lyctor. Learn more at daggers.tv 2/2

My old friend, fellow BWU member, professional miniatures painter, and generally cool person, @daggers.tv returns to the Brush Wielders Union the podcast this month to talk about her first published miniatures game, Lyctor!

Of all the things I enjoyed about Project Hail Mary, the biggest one was no lights in the helmet shining straight onto their face.

🥹🥹 I can’t thank you enough for these kind words! This made my whole week 💖

Adepticon 2026 has come and gone in a flash! Big wins: - Selling out of my first published game, Lyctor, before the weekend was over! - selling out all of my classes, and getting incredibly kind feedback - spending quality time with some of my best friends in the whole world. #indiegames

Little treat of awesomeness! Getting the digital pdf of Lyctor by @daggers.tv I will be honest that it is difficult for me to really be excited for skirmish games typically, but this has actually really peaked my interest. 👏❤️🔥💀 www.instagram.com/p/DV2Ez-Mjl1...

okay so AI is absolutely cratering imminently and I need all of you to PROMISE me you won't take the high road, and will laugh and rub it in their faces as much as possible. I need you to laugh and go 'WE TOLD YOU SO, BITCH" at every opportunity, PLEASE be extremely mean and ruthless

Guys, you blew me away with the love for Lyctor yesterday with all the likes and shares. It’s making me so eager to get back to designing it and so many other titles! It would mean the world to me if ya picked up a copy ($10 for the PDF!) and shared your thoughts on socials. #tabletop #lyctor

Preorders for my first published game, Lyctor are (una)live!!! Tell me below if you pick up a copy! Support indie game design, and show my publisher they were right to put some faith in lil old me! (Sharing is caring!) blacksitestudio.com/collections/... #indiegames #tabletop #miniatures

☠️ Big milestone for me as my first non-self published tabletop game goes live next Friday 3/20! Lyctor is a low model count, mini agnostic skirmish game that puts you in the role of an Adept of the Necromantic arts in a battle-beyond-death-match to ascend to Lyctorhood and acquire profane powers.

I don’t really know the first thing about sculpting but I gave it a go today for my plinth for @atomicmassgames.bsky.social The Worthy competition at Adepticon! This thing is, despite my procrastination, coming together!

When I’m doing anything else I just wanna paint. When I sit to paint I wanna do anything else. This is very cool and normal I think and not at all a byproduct of ennui and burnout #art #burnout #artist

I started a silly animation in the wake of all the #pokemon30 #pokemonwindandwaves hype. Then I realized the first frame would make a perfect phone background. Please enjoy Pombon face. Lemme know if you download and love it! 💖 #pombon #pokemonart

Bartolomeo is my favorite One Piece cameo character so far and it’s not even close.

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it. So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

Oh HEY! I’m back! Do you like #artstreams? How about #minipainting? Tune in and yap with me today. See ya over at www.twitch.tv/jamiedaggers #stream #miniatures #boardgames

we're all thinking it

I’ve been toying around with the idea of starting a Substack to document best practices that I’ve developed over the past 5 years as a freelance artist, streamer, and game dev. This would include con tips, networking secrets, etc. Anyone have any thoughts/tips? #minipainting #freelance #indie

I also do a lot of reading while I paint (idk what I’d do without the Libby app and local libraries tbh) here’s what I’ve been listening to while I’ve been painting! The Starving Saints - @caitlinstarling.com The Devils - @joeabercrombie.com Children of Time - @aptshadow.bsky.social #books #art

Here’s a little roundup of some painting I did in October! (Check alt text for details) A few little festive projects and a small selection of autumnal knights to help celebrate the roaring success of Greathelm by @malev-da-shinobi.bsky.social #minipainting #miniatures #gamedesign #indiegames

Ok I promise I won’t forget about Bluesky again for months. I’m alive and kicking! Lyctor is in playtesting, I’m rules editing a ton for my publisher, and painting as much as I can between the holiday and con travel! Luckily for me, things stay quiet til the new year! Updates soooon :)

It's Cardboard Time! Episode 123 is now live (tinyurl.com/yc6fvt7d) with our annual PAX Unplugged Ride Home episode. Join @daggers.tv, @peppermintfox.bsky.social and I as we semi-lucidly chat about our time at PAX! After listening, drop your predictions for the new year down below! #paxunplugged

I'm painting this SCARY mini from Black Site Studios RIGHT NOW on Twitch, YT, and TikTok! And I've upgraded it to a @daggers.tv four color challenge! Come thru! www.twitch.tv/princemolder

Something a little different tonight for #WIPWednesday Tester for the Leagues of Votann Combat Patrol magazine, and using @daggers.tv four colour palette challenge from a couple of weeks ago #WarhammerCommunity #WIPWarhammer #Daggers4Color

Today on stream I painted my first Iron Sultanate model! Ninj0n gave me a few of his color cards at NOVA and instead of a 4 color Friday, we took a stab at 5! I’m VERY lost in the @trenchcrusade.bsky.social sauce rn and couldn’t be happier. #trenchcrusade #minipainting #nerdlings #artstream

It’s good to have ambition, but it’s better to have follow-through.

Very excited rn because the manuscript for Lyctor is being submitted this week right before I spend all weekend demoing it at NOVA Open! #indiegames #indiedesign #gamedesign #skirmishgame #tabletopgame #miniatures #minipainting

Wednesday is statistically the most boring workday. Lucky for you, I’m streaming! Do something more exciting like watching paint dry with me! Painting a bust for NOVA Open! Come join the fun 🥰 www.twitch.tv/jamiedaggers #stream #minipainting #miniaturepainting #miniatures #warhammer

Hey help me feel better during this con crud battle by sharing some art you’ve done lately that you’re proud of. Show me what you got. Toot that horn— let’s see it, hot stuff! I’ll start by sharing this silly little dude I drew at the @catchycantrips.bsky.social live show at #gencon #art

Con crud is the worst! Boooo con crud! At least I’ll be freely anti-bodied for my next con in like 2 weeks I guess 😅

Gencon was a blast, and went in a blur!! My classes were well attended, got great feedback, and galvanized me towards painting something for NOVA at the end of the month! But first, I have to beat this con crud. Wish me luck, babies. #concrud #gencon #minipainting #tabletopgames

✨Plz share for visibility!✨ If you’re going to GenCon, consider taking one of my mini painting classes! There are still tickets left for all sessions! Learn the secrets of glazing, or try my signature 4 color/easy color scheme class! bit.ly/daggersclass #minipainting #miniaturepainting

Literally this. Community managers aren’t your janitors. You pay us to understand and advocate for the communities who love your games. Listen to us.
