rebuilding IG profile from scratch - I left it from mix of annoyance w/ the platform & principle. 5 yrs+ building my profile, now starting at 0 - I've learned a lot of people still use it. And really I just hurt myself as a freelancer www.instagram.com/perplexingru...

Evening crowd - dropped to Patreon this morning

Here's a reminder: you can make special cards for people just using bits you cut out of magazines

This post showed me that people here (and elsewhere) just assume, because I make stuff for OSRy games, that I'd never played PbtA/story games or that I was, for some reason, opposed to them. A good plan for the new year would be to not let the endless discourse build up imaginary walls in our mind.

Sketching a solstice drawing

Especially happy to have gotten a physical copy of this book given that I had to go to another country to do so (was going to go anyway, had it mailed to my parents' house)

#TTRPG 🎲 Advent Calendar, Day 20: "Greenhorns" by Marco Serrano ( @spicytunarpg.bsky.social ), art by Diego Acevedo A (very) weird space RPG built on the Together We Go system, designed for greater narrative depth & combat lethality. Create & protect newborn planets in the perilous void of space

Anyone know how to make one of these type of ragged edges in Affinity 2 in a customizable manner that isn't just a texture snagged from elsewhere?. Preferably a vector brush or something of that sort, but a pixel/raster is fine.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

The quickstart is soooo tasty. This looks SICK! Games are awesome!

I feel a bit foolish for not realizing this sooner, but the book, Monstrous by @mapcrow.bsky.social is really great for generating new myths (and their omens) for the #ttrpg Mythic Bastionland by @bastionland.bsky.social. For example, these Inspiration spreads.

my brain: - wish i had a game idea wish i had a game idea wish i had a game idea wish i had a game idea wish i had a game idea wish i had a game idea.... - inspiration isn't real! one must work through and *find* the inspiration. - yea, but not even feeling like searching - yea you may be screwed

Happy Yule and a Merry Will Stanton’s birthday to all who observe.

I wrote the first draft for the canon event for the #NightsongLivingWorldJam. Sent it to a couple of friends to see what they think but should be able to share it soon with y'all. Also, so happy more than 50 of you have joined the jam!!! itch.io/jam/nightson...

Today’s comic read. Bit like the Jason book - sad, lonely, single protagonist navigating an off-kilter world. Minimalist cartooning. Bite-sized bits of pathos

it's a poor excuses & a symptom of privilege, but some days I'm consumed by wishing for a dedicated work space...the living room chair or dining room table, amidst the flotsam of family life.... would love to just have a desk and place to put art supplies etc that I could just leave projects out

public facing art is good for the people

Oh the chance to work for one of the single most important publishing houses in America!!

Pretty fun read. Took a very unexpected turn! Think i will look for more work by Jason. The experience was over pretty fast though. The boutique approach to printing and producing and charging for very short comics is something I’m not sure I care for, however

Taking time to appreciate the little things: the stealth sparkle provided by holographic paint

Pondering “cartoonist” and “comic artist” No opinions, just haven’t figured out the use of said wordage.

despite the miserable fall weather, the Abbot always made sure to take the novice monks out to his favorite mushroom foraging grounds. if they were lucky he'd also have the opportunity to teach them some weather forecasting tricks

Picked up some actual cartoons for the library.

Pretty sure Kid is going to love this riso print by @secondatbest.bsky.social ! Has read the manga and watched film twice this year. And dips into the manga to read passages and gawk at art

Something I want to tell people constantly is like, I love hearing about BREAK!! characters, I want to hear about your character, if there was a way I could get a daily digest of people's characters and read about them every day I absolutely would do that

back from printshop! Signing and mailing out for Winter print for top tier patrons

constantly feeling the hole of not studying cartoons and classic comics, nor reading genre fiction... the whole trajectory of my early culture-life largely wasted :(

On spread at a time, it's coming along nicely. Really trying to be condensed, fluid, and to have each spread be nicely laid out and clear. Lots of love is put into this game's text and layout. farirpgs.com/nightsong

hyped!

The thing I'm most excited about for Castle Automatic is hearing about the stories that your group has with it. We've all had those sessions that your friend group talks about for years: "remember when you stabbed the Hierophant at the last minute?" I can't wait for you to have those.

please forgive my repost of the recent drawing....i accidentally hit re post instead of quote post...the intention was to show the progress of the one piece... :(

Another piece dropped to patrons this morning! Been trying to really increase my output these last few weeks of the year. A sort of continuation of the previous piece. playing with sequence i suppose. If you'd like to support my work, you can check the patreon here: www.patreon.com/perplexingru...

Next piece nearly there

Fallen is a fantastic RPG - go grab it!
