Here is a post compiling a bunch of different art resources you can use for your publications: itch.io/jam/liminal-...

In @feralcharlie.bsky.social's "Ave Nox," there's a particular optional monster you can interact with that doesn't have any artwork. Since my players took it down last session, one of them decided they wanted to sketch it while we were playing through the rest of the session. Holy shit.

Patreon supporters get first look at everything I make - games, fiction, music - plus exclusive patron-only content you won't find anywhere else. Come and hang out with some big nerds. https://patreon.com/chrisbissette

Howdy folks! Dropping a line to say that this week is the week for Mildew and Silver's campaign and (very importantly) the beginning of Old-School Essentials month!

Typed, laid out, and illustrated! Which means I now get to ask: Who wants to play Mildew and Silver? - I'll be giving out community copies of Mildew and Silver to folks interested and able to run the module between now and May 6th (when it launches). - Some more information to follow.

Close to complete...

So, apparently I missed Transgender Visibility Day by a few hours, but the full PDF version of You Will Die In This Place is now avaliable. You should be able to access it for free if you previously got the development preview. liz-shrikestudio.itch.io/you-will-die...

The joy of making weird grubby guys

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

Putting a pulse test out here - if someone were to, say, put out a zine some supplemental materials for expanding "Ave Nox," is that a thing people might care about, either free or paid? Like faction rules/objectives, tips on running in various systems, that kind of thing?

hello gamers I have a new blogpost up, a review of a massive $4m Kickstarter third-party 5e adventure based on an AP, called THE CROOKED MOON. it's a big old honkin review, talking about info design and 5e creative direction and folk horror. I hope you enjoy! samsorensen.blot.im/review-the-c...

No budget? No problem! Free art from dead people for your games: www.skeletoncodemachine.com/p/public-dom... #ttrpg #boardgames #gamedesign #publicdomain #freeart #art

2 new skirmish games available now, pay what you want. CHORD: ambient audio meets abstract strategy in this capture the flag played on piano keys. CYBERMETAL STREETS: low tech heavy metal 28mm melee compatible with Cybermetal 2012 RPG. Worldchampgameco.itch.io Zines for trade at Adepticon

A full spread and arguably the heart of the adventure. While the timeline moves without character involvement, the outcomes are tied to what the characters manage to do within that timeline.

Check some of the recent drawings that went to my patrons! Visual worlds being made, for subscribers to use in their publications.

I've probably mentioned in person how much trouble and frustration I have making maps. Thankfully, this was not the case.

Wasn't happy with the last piece. So, redo time.

I made a collection of level 0 occupations for my soon starting Ave Nox (by @feralcharlie.bsky.social and @alexcoggon.bsky.social) https://poundsofnothing.blogspot.com/2026/03/ave-nox-ghostfields-occupations.html

Interesting find in the used bookstore today...
