Burnout is genuinely life-destroying and I really can't say, on this website, what I think should happen to managers who not only let it happen to one individual worker but who systemically make it happen on large groups of workers.

I think this gets lost in a lot of these discussions. Crunch isn't just a bad experience in the moment or a bad job situation. Burnout has long, lingering effects on the brain and body that can last for years.

So cool!

"Courtship of Kings, Danglok's Royal Dance" Redid it an old piece from last year that annoyed and frustrated me so much.

*Great* mail day today featuring the absolutely beautiful Crescent and Exile by @ema-acosta.com and published by @mythworks.bsky.social (I also got all my Alien: Evolved Edition stuff today but none of it is as exciting as these!)

Hey it’s me, Graham, again. I’m back! The other half of the RPG dyad with Crescent is Exile! We’re teens in a dungeon of the soul, cast out by our people. Time to do some hard growing up with a LET’S MAKE A CHARACTER THREAD!

Graham here! The upcoming Crescent TTRPG is full of imagination and adventure, big themes for what roleplaying is all about. And character is the key to investment and excitement. So LET’S MAKE ONE. CHARACTER CREATION THREAD INCOMING!!❤️‍🔥😮😶‍🌫️

Hendrik’s game is smart, spine-chilling, and moving. It left me eager for more carefully authored scenarios like these. I can’t wait to play it again.

I went on an episode of WRTA and had a lovely chat with Alex :-) We talked about asymmetric design, interrogating player behaviour through playtesting, and whatever in the world is happening on 5E's Dungeon Master's Guide. 🎲 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

Happy year of the snake! In Korea the snake was the god of fertility, abundance, fortune and happiness, and represented immortality, regeneration. We grow heirloom Korean peppers on the roof and save the seeds to plant each year, a cycle of regeneration, fertility and abundance. 새해 복 많이 받으세요!

Night Bloom, two views. This was created in Kato Polyclay, a very strong clay, with gem-stone eyes. And it found the most magical home, lucky Being!

Another of my favorites #FromTheInspirationFolder Hermann Vogel (1854-1921) created the most wonderful worlds, chock-full of charming details and intricate linework. Just such a perfect example of the utter magic of drawing.

Exile, my dark fantasy #TTRPG, is 25% off this week. ⚔️🩸 itch.io/s/127526/sum...

cara.app/em-a/ I believe the most important factor for any of these Twitter look-a-likes is that people actually use them, but while I'm sceptic, a community-backed art platform was bound to show up, and I'm hoping spaces like this can rebuild on the blueprint Artstation has left behind. Excited!

Here is a thread of pieces I'm going have available Thursday at 11am. First up, a small creature to hold your bits and bobs.
