here's a reminder that discord has adopted a new arbitration policy, which means you have under 30 days to opt out of it

Yeah ok I’ve seen and love this one too I admit. It’s not .. as useful.. but still. (Need one with like Kiki smith etc in there too)

I'm a long-time Destiny enjoyer, but I've had a few issues with the high-level narrative of this year's Episodic stories. I put my thoughts together here: youtu.be/H6RBb-6woy0 #Destiny2

You ever chew on a game concept all day long, and then slowly realize you're beginning to reverse engineer Tension? Yeah same

Theme: Monster Hunter As I've stated before, video games for some reason happen to be the strongest in terms of themed #ttrpg requests and recommendations that I do. Let's take a look at another excellent example!

Monster Guts 2e, by @dubdubpub.itch.io, uses the punchy, quick-to-learn LUMEN system and builds your character options around the most important question you'll ask in a Monster Hunter game - what weapon will you wield?

Thread of all time peak anime openings, starting with Dandadan and adding a new one every day. youtu.be/a4na2opArGY?...

A few backers away from 50% funded, and more importantly, 25 backers away from 169

WE WON @sublimemarch.bsky.social MOTHERFUCKERS thanks @igdn-official.bsky.social! check out the AWARD WINNING GRAPHIC DESIGN HERE adira.itch.io/deadly-weapons

It's LUMEN's 4th birthday! I'm celebrating the system that put me on the map, and that still captures my attention today. Check out this thread for a reminiscent blog, shoutouts to favorite LUMEN games, and videos. Happy birthday LUMEN! gilarpgs.itch.io/lumen

It's live! Check out my latest Monster Hunter fan supplement for @dubdubpub.itch.io 's MONSTER GUTS ttrpg: Threats from Another World: Volume 7 - Sieges and Rampages. Ever wanted to fight Godzilla-sized monsters or hordes of car-sized beasts? Now you can! arkhadtoa.itch.io/threats-from...

It's official! Ketchup Entertainment has purchased the worldwide rights for COYOTE VS. ACME from Warner Bros., and will distribute the film in theaters.

You know that you're really designing a monster hunting game when you realize that one of your monster's visual descriptions is: what if the Grand Coulee Dam had a pelican fursona.

NEVER.

Microsoft getting rid of Publisher is utterly infuriating, and their suggestion that Word, PowerPoint and their Canva knockoff are suitable replacements is laughable. I have years' worth of work in .pub files. Come October 1, if I want to change anything, I'll have to fully remake it in Affinity.

NEW PRINTS! RESTOCKS! JAYVIK ARTBOOK AND MERCH!!! every bit helps as my shop is my only income source rn so shares help a ton!! tysm!!! michiums.bigcartel.com

@backerkit.com Hey! When might I be able to add my bsky account to my creator profile? I can hook up twitter and fb, but I'm not active on either of those platforms, and I'd love to be able to point my backers to this account.

Major publishers can't keep making fewer, bigger games aftermath.site/aftermath-ho...

Very glad to see @nellraban.com featured today on Rappler Gaming to discuss her experiences and contributions to the latest installment of Sid Meier's Civilization! I'm a dyed in the wool series fan so when I learned she was on the dev team, I was very excited to suggest our editor talk to her.

Briefly going to use this as a jumping off point to talk about art! There's a concept in art history called kunstwollen or "will to art" introduced by Alois Riegel, who was a late 19th century Austrian art historian. It is often used to explain why certain motifs appear at certain times in history.

You ever find out your dad is a nazi sympathizer and then suddenly have to move out? Well that's how my day has gone! So, if you want to help me survive in the interim, please donate or share this fundraiser with a friend. All money will go towards staying fed and housed. gofund.me/3d597a0c

delighted to be the 42nd repost

Whoa who's that is she available for graphic design work oh she is that's amazing bang bang bang

I don't know if there's anything more fulfilling as a ttrpg designer than someone (consentually) sharing with you a play report of your game that just knocks your socks off. This fucking rules.

Love when you solve a design problem that's been plaguing you for months only to realize that your solution is going to require a ton of additional research. Time to do a deep dive into PNW ecoregions, I guess?

My friend just released Flipside, a rules-light game based on coin flips. Set in the Big City, "a place with bright lights and dark corners," you and your friends conspire to take down a Kingpin. And it's free! vespiary.itch.io/flipside

This slaps

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

Building unions at Penn together!

If you subscribe to PBS in any streaming platform: They don’t get all of that money. Just a fraction. But also, you don’t get all of their programming. Instead, donate $5 to PBS.org directly, get MORE programming, and they get more money. Despite being Canadian, I have done this since 2018.

if you follow trans artists, please like, repost, & comment on our artwork this isn't a substitution for engaging in direct action to fight against systemic transphobia, but it will at least give us little blips of dopamine which will temporarily feel nice …also you can give us money.

I think I may need to order more ribbons maybe for katsu 🤨??? #jayvik #arcane #ribbonbadge

This dragon is simply perfect.

Gonna start actual promotions tomorrow but Omg look over there 👉

One of the best posts ever done

I like Game Facilitator cuz it shortens to GF, and I think people referring to their GF and not meaning their girlfriend is delightful.

I'll also draw comic book style pages for this price if you want to see a fight pan out between any two monsters.

It's time to start sharing art from the upcoming Wandering Blades core rulebook! This is the illustration of the youxia, one of the core classes in the game, by the extremely talented Lim Li Wei! Support the development of Wandering Blades at patreon.com/danielhkwan!

Immersion is one of the enemies of artistic appreciation. Should be obvious but has to keep being pointed out (read the link). It's in the cause of self-abnegation. florencesmithnicholls.com/2025/01/20/g...

Monster Guts is a cool LUMEN game! The playing card battle grid is a cool idea and I like how the big monsters are built
