It's a Draw Steel prozine!

This meeting could've been a Draw Steel montage.

No one even tried, I was disappointed.

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

Hello hello, it's my birthday today~🎉 I'd love to ask others to share my art around today!

Red - (My fave illustration from this year)

As a writer also in a field with a very high exec/top brass presence in the creative process, I can guarantee you that in 99% of cases, if the writing feels like you're repetitively being spoon fed plot and exposition, it's a directive from on high and not what the writer would do if left alone.

I’m thrilled to finally share the first piece from a series of stained glass works I created for MCDM Draw Steel! ✨ This has been one of my absolute favorite projects this year and one I’m deeply proud of. I hope you love it as much as I do!

Real Talk: I’ve been playing some form of D&D/ttrpg for a little over 20 years, and combat was NEVER my favorite part. I’m often a little checked out when waiting for it to be my turn. Doodling, checking sms, etc. Even in BG3 — which I LOVE — it feels real bad to miss when you use a level 6 spell.

I am so excited for this! I've been testing Draw Steel for 2 and a half years now and being able to run it live for everyone at @paxaus.bsky.social is pretty special. (Ignore the panic in my eyes, that's just years of tester experience talking - hopefully my players don't see it and exploit me!)

I will never pass up a chance to re-share this piece. Best way I ever found to talk about AI to anyone: softwarecrisis.dev/letters/llme...

Hey that's me! And yes I'll be running Draw Steel at #PAXAUS - I am very ready and slightly terrified. More details incoming :)

Hey, wait a minute!

Spoilers for new ancestries!

@dailydael.bsky.social Happy Birthday, Les Mis, you're the Real Steel Also "ONE DAY OLDER"

When you start wondering if you're having too much caffeine, maybe it's time to check whether you're overworked. And by "you" I mean "me"

I’m truly so proud of this and the work the entire Draw Steel team did. It’s rare to be given both the opportunity and the freedom to take big swings like this, and @jamesintrocaso.bsky.social, @hellomcdm.bsky.social, and @mattcolville.bsky.social made it possible. So, so proud of what we made.

So, yeah, longer thread coming tomorrow after I have slept, because this whole team has been working SO hard to get this out, but Draw Steel introduces Art Description, a new form of image description combining alt text and new standards based on art museum best practices for image description. 1/

If you want to celebrate the release of MCDM's Draw Steel with us, check out the first episode of our Delian Tomb miniseries! Live on YouTube NOW! youtu.be/jGy1AWEMEfs?...

Oh hey, new Running the Game video! youtu.be/7_zie0B_XfI?...

Watched The Batman (2022) for the first time - brain wanted to art for it

Got a few moments of lucidity in amongst my sickness. Drew superman

There we are! All the Draw Steel rules are available in the MCDM shop: shop.mcdmproductions.com/collections/...

A game I spent the last 2 years working on is out. We worked really hard on this game and it turned out pretty good. You should check it out if you like that sort of thing.

So proud to have worked on this game with such a cool group of people! I can't believe it's out now. Draw Steel! If you have any questions or want a tester to look over your Draw Steel homebrew/3rd party. Shoot me a message!

An eloquent image: Setting aside the content under the tarp for a moment, teens were asked to make art expressing what it is like to be a teen, and the end result was a mural wrapped in a tarp by adults. I bet a lot of teens would find this expressive of their experience.

I’ve said many times the best advice I got as an undergrad was “have friends on the outside.” That means a lot of different overlapping things in my life. It’s a gift to have folks who get your work (whatever it is), but it’s vital to have folks oblivious to anything but your weird wonderful self.

"Starchaser" This took a lot of passes to figure out where it was going. I had an idea but not a clear vision, and so it had to be discovered bit by bit as I painted. I changed my mind a few times and there was a lot of "what if I tried this", but I'm very happy with it :) #watercolor #dragons #art

t's amazing how this is from more than 20 years ago but very well could have been from today.

Normal people worried about vaccines: “vaccine hesitancy.” This is good, I like this term. Powerful people making money and gaining power by making people terrified of proven-safe medical treatments: “anti-vaxxers.” Ok, but actually I don’t like this term.

Maybe the real Ship of Theseus was the Ship of Theseus we made along the way

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut. If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Lemme repost this again because whew....

Yes actually now is a great time to share good news Now is a great time to celebrate the good news of strangers To be the kind of people who are happy for other people to have good things happen to them Yes indeed

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I'm still not over these two 🩵 #TimeBomb #arcane

Flew all the way from Perth and got a ticket for Sydnova just for this photo, now to get ready for Melbourne @romanpenna.bsky.social @briefcasebrown.bsky.social @splittheparty.bsky.social Thanks @criticalrole.bsky.social for the best photo

#LastofUs Season 2 was excellent, fabulous acting and brought back all the memories from playing the game. I remember where I was when I reached this part in the story in the game and was tearing up as well. Fabulous from everyone, can't wait for Season 3. Emotions everywhere!

“Without widespread theft, my industry can’t survive” is an argument against your industry surviving, and is not an argument for allowing widespread theft

#Andor was amazing, the best TV I have seen in a long time. Diego Luna was excellent, Elizabeth Dulau tugged at my heart strings and Tony Gilroy has crafted a masterpiece. This is probably one of the most important things I have watched in a long time. 5/5 no notes. I'm tearing up. <3
