AP mutuals, please share this casting call with your networks! @fairouxx.bsky.social and I have had the opportunity to work with some wonderful folks for this project, and we would love to include even more trans & queer Muslim artists in our finished short film AP. More info in the quoted thread.

Just gonna say this again for games sphere cus we get the same question: Networking doesn't mean schmoozing up to famous people, it means making friends with your peers. Then in 10 years, 20, one of you might be famous? And sure you're still helping each other cus well yeah friends. Make. Friends.

A new year is just around the corner, but before we start slinging new wares, we wanted to show you what we made in 2025. Australia's best game devs have put together a sample platter of their work from this year. Get 16 games for just $10 and help us ring in the new. itch.io/b/3462/ausrp...

Merry Cryptmas!

Almost, just **ALMOST** like a game that has it's basic system revolve around dealing damage to a HP pool.. with main pages about combat, progress being combat oriented, and the only default in game way to gain experience is by killing is about... GASPS... VIOLENCE?! NO NOES! HOW?!

Continuing my grungy eye doodle freehanding with a wee brush. Just doing it to practice brush control but I am sure I am subconsciously channeling an expressionist film

Lmao my dog has been beggign for my food with the saddest, wettest eyes he could muster and when I pointed this out to Mum she said "My dog would never do that" only for her dog to immediately wake up, hop off the sofa and trot over to beg.

I honestly thought I had joined this. Oh well. Great games in here, not least Growing Thylacine by @pidj.bsky.social Well worth picking up this bundle!

As much as I love Christmas, in many ways the cultural perception of it really reminds me of what I'm going for with Pilot Episode (valourisation and idealisation of the nuclear family, a longing for a past that never really existed, etc).

I am in no way trying to be a buzzkill, but one thing I would love to see more of in 2026 are conversations about time, labor, & the fact that artists in many mediums are held to truly unsustainable expectations of pace and output. I'm thinking specifically about ttrpgs, but it applies broadly.

The fuck do you mean I can complete age verification and still not be allowed to access all of Bluesky’s features?

I've got a game in this trans and anarchist zine & ttrpg bundle, raising survival funds for Lazarus ❤️‍🩹 There's seriously a huge variety of games here, and it's /pay what you want/ 🤯🤯 itch.io/b/3454/fundr...

Wanted a clean thread to continually share as needed but hey are you annoyed by orientalist and blatantly obtuse games and their white designers? Throw money at an Asian designer and their games! You can find them so easily with the link below! Did you buy Obojima? Feel bad? Buy another game!

this obojima shit is a really great example of why a lot of people burn out on ttrpgs. there’s so many harmful dynamics on display AND these paragons of white mediocrity get to make money from it? this kinda bullshit is poison to the spirit tbh.

"As soon as you humanize the monster, it ceases to be a fantasy adventure" is a heck of a quote. It's a heck of a quote to put on something that LOUDLY wears Ghibli as its branding.

As a Mexican creator, I write monsters that reflect the horrors of dehumanization It's telling when others, claiming to be inspired by Ghibli, choose to parade their aesthetics while stripping its empathy and complex morality away So easy to do when you've never been the monster needing humanizing

Oh hell yeah

I don't want gen AI in my browser I don't want gen AI in my pc I don't want gen AI in my art I don't want gen AI in my games I don't want gen AI in my music I don't want gen AI in my movies I don't want gen AI in my books I don't want gen AI in my cart I don't want gen AI in my life

I've submitted a few old favorites... If you're a creator, this is a great opportunity to give back to one of the community's most supportive and encouraging voices. And if you don't make games, but like to play 'em, be on the lookout for when the bundle is available to help this very noble cause.

i hate that AI is such a buzzword these days because it's all linear algebra soup and sometimes the soup is actually extremely good. GFS's reduced accuracy in previous events (hurricane sandy, notably) from computational limitations has cost lives. 99.7% reduction with comparable accuracy is insane.

If you can't purchase it right now (holidays are expensive, I get it), sharing or rating the game would help me massively!

So one of my goals for this year has been to get Acehearts to Bronze tier on DriveThruRPG. To do that you need to get 50+ sales and I'm currently at 50. If anyone wants to give me a little Christmas gift and get me over the line they can do so here: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/4...

EVERYONE GET MORE PASSIONATE AND SELF INDULGENT ABOUT CREATIVITY AND BEING HUMAN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sifter’s annual list of every Australian made videogame is out. These are a crucial resource and I’m so glad they do it every year.

Love Joie’s work, hire her!

Free public libraries are right up there on the list of best things we have done as people.

Yes. Correct answer.

Hello! I'm looking for an editor, layout designer, and illustrators to help bring my urban fantasy world build rpg, to life for Zine Month 2026. All work pre-crowd funding will be paid with additional work contingent on funding. Feel free to reach out directly if you have any questions Forms below

We grieve the loss of life in Sydney, Australia, where gunmen attacked a celebration of the first night of Hanukkah, killing at least 11 people. This was a terrifying incident of hate-fueled violence that no community should face.

We can’t afford a $1M trailer slot 😔 But reposts on Bluesky cost $0 - and they really help tiny teams like ours ❤️ If cozy medieval creativity is your thing, here’s our Scriptorium trailer!

Same thing with indie #ttrpg and #gamedev. Leave reviews and recommend their games. Goes a long way.

uwa! so holiday!

I honestly think that many people don't know what their public libraries offer besides books. I think that everyone should go on a public library treasure hunt in 2026. Go explore what your library systems offer at no cost to you. Report back to me :)

I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki is unfortunately named because trying to google it leads to my search engine giving me some hotlines instead lmao.

Fuck this social media ban so much.

I shall now talk about modern talkies the way people talk about silent films: I have seen three movies made in the 2020s, this qualifies me to name the best picture of the decade!

Pilot Episode is a horror ttrpg about being trapped in the constantly replaying pilot episode of a 1950s sitcom! Check out the Kickstarter launch page here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/sma...

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 11! Gouache plein air study of one of my favorite cherry trees at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden! A big gnarly ancient weeping cherry tree

I have shown so much restraint by not auntposting every time I have a free moment.

Want to support trans rights in Aotearoa & get a bunch of cool TTRPGs? The Ban the Ban bundle is raising funds for action against the NZ govt's blocker ban. Proceeds go to PATHA to fund their court challenge & support individuals. Get it now! itch.io/b/3421/ban-t... #transrights #ttrpg #nzpol

A question for my followers: what’s your favourite sitcom and why? I grew up watching a lot of 1960s ones so I do have a fondness for them.

If you like horror, urban exploration, doppelgängers, ghost stories, and/or Hong Kong folklore, I HIGHLY recommend checking out the KS for Mud Ghost Estate Redux! It’s SO close to reaching its goal and there are less than 3 days until it ends. Support Asian horror and go back it! 👻

Read this again and again 1. Never has a Black director won for directing, NEVER 2. its a job every creative read that. At its core if you write, act, draw, make music etc. as way of generating resources for yourself that you ae doing a job that comes with very specific requirements

This has aged excellently.

Have a look at some of the ttrpgs that are part of our bundle, there's an amazing breath of creativity in the kiwi ttrpg scene! There's something for everyone and the money goes to helping roll back bigotry: itch.io/b/3421/ban-t... #kiwirpg #dnd #ttrpg

If you get the bird make sure you also get the wirm!!!

Kākāpō are the cutest birds ever.

“In recent days, Ms Amsi's team was able to use heavy equipment to uncover more badly damaged manuscripts. She says it is now clear that the library's archive - seen as an invaluable record of Palestinian history, with many Ottoman records - was totally burned.” www.bbc.com/news/article...
