RSA Garcia!

It's been a couple years since Reach of the Roach God was published, and I'm still thinking about how it pulled off stat blocks without stats. It's a load-bearing piece of tech that's criminally underused. www.explorersdesign.com/designing-lo...

Some of my favourite dice :)

Honestly the concept of a musical game alone sounds so interesting. Then add in the horror elements and it looks truly delicious!

Last week to submit your content for the March newsletter! New releases, crowdfunders, reviews, essays: anything about mech rpgs is welcome!

The tshirt design I did for a NZ medieval event earlier this year. I'm v pleased with how it turned out! A blatant parody/tribute to the best of Blur artist. I may need to do a microbt version but how to settle on species?!?

ship customisation is very important to me

It is the final day of @pidj.bsky.social 's delightful marginalia minigame zine. They have added a few extra marginal slots so more people can have their own handpainted illumination by me both sent to them and included in the zine. www.kickstarter.com/projects/sun...

For the morning crowd...

I'm really excited to finish the layout for #YAKEMY. I'm trying hard to keep it minimalist, as originally proposed, but also incorporate elements from HUD and other #cyberpunk references. Here's just a little preview for you to see how it's coming along! On #itchfunding now! oddpress.itch.io/yakemy

Some Dungeon procedures for a theater of the mind point crawl for #daggerheart . The other day @thisisvictor.bsky.social had a great idea of using wandering monsters as the tension mechanism (in lieu of a more traditional "dungeon turn"). So stole that idea outright and made this!

Ooo, who's going to be number 100? If we get 100 backers I'll add 3 more custom marginalia slots. Game and original art, the ZineQuest special! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sun...

@pidj.bsky.social brings us Veritable Tales of Folly in the Realm. So we can create illuminated manuscripts with friends whilst playing mini games in this medieval "world". I love an illuminated manuscript and having a little silly fun with impromptu party games www.kickstarter.com/projects/sun...

Okay Stonetop looks good, I’m keen

Small things coming, y'all Miniscule things, like you won't even be able to tell they're here

rpg designers will be like "big things coming" and it's actually the biggest, most sprawling thing they've ever done. all-consuming. blotting out the sun and the sky

Ok I know that our next stretch goal for Rise, Wizards! and All's Fair is 15k (which we are getting CLOSE to!!!) but I have a super top secret stretch goal and that is beating @vidityavoleti.bsky.social's last campaign total so that I can be insufferably superior at him around the apartment

Just a few more backers to reach the goal ⚡ If u can't support this game,that's okay, u can help by sharing #YAKEMY Itchfunding! A solo journaling #TTRPG about working as an underground biomechanic in a collapsing #cyberpunk metropolis 🔧 ✨ oddpress.itch.io/yakemy #zime #zinemonth #zinequest

#art #oc Alsoooo this was probably obvious but: Violet's design was inspired by a doodle i did of Red Riding Hood but Navajo. Overtime she's been redesigned but I love the imagery of the red clothes and hence why Maiitsoh is paired with her in illustrations. (Maiitsoh is the Navajo word for wolf)
