It's good to be back in America's heartland. One week of incredible food, and then back to the art mines.

Last call for rays of hope among dark stars, y'all!

Needs some final tweaks, but here is the Hope Springs Eternal cover! Exactly 9 weeks from launch... let the real marketing push begin! 😜#daggerheart

Oh hell yes. Pound of Flesh is a top five of all time campaign module. Will buy.

SOLARCRAWL: Fifth planet out from the sun is Scintil, a bast world tree of green canopy that shrouds a steaming, thriving jungle with a freshwater lake glinting at its heart. Lots of climbing for the Astronauts who land here. I'll be posting more maps as I make them.

I've had two of my prior players reach out to me this weekend to.. just hang out and chat. People need other people, and we all have to do our part. (They've been dragoon into my upcoming campaign, and are bringing brownies and such). This is how we keep it all running.

Session Report from my first evening of playing Siege Perilous. dysonlogos.blog/2025/04/22/s... (I dig it, and I'm already planning to add a bunch of cards from the Arcane Bullshit oracle to the Major Arcana deck for my next, weirder, playthrough)

Hey, did you hear that I'm making an asian fantasy Apothecaria where you make tea in order to get spirits to help people? Well now you have! Come follow me on Patreon to stay up to date with its development :) www.patreon.com/posts/spirit...

Celebrating The Fall (of the old world) with a TTRPG bundle featuring work with creators who have birthdays this month. Support indie art, get a game about the old world dying, living forever, or being a bunch of bros trying to capture ghosts on film. itch.io/b/3295/celeb...

Huzzah! You all get to see the composition that took soo long to figure out. You can't really find a good model photo for "giant crab man getting danger kisses from a dog" on the old interwebs.

Just drew this as part of a group shot of cryptids, and my goodness, do I have a silly job.

Went to water the chickens this morning and scared the hell out of our pumps new tenant. They were surprisingly chill about being photographed later, so hopefully, there are no hard feelings.

Did some fan art of @pandiongames.com new TTRPG Midnight Muscadines woadling and twillit races based on the art by @nightjargames.bsky.social . first up is the woadling and then my Character i made "Maggie May" @overshia.bsky.social did the colors :)

This looks so good, I want it now!

"The Silence Mill", a golem for a Castlevania-type thing I've been working at, on and off. Drawn today because, I don't know. 2025, I guess.

What's outside of the walled cities, and beyond the reach of the sunshards in Dusk? Strange stuff, man.

Finished up a big chunk of game writing today, and having a little Nihei as a treat. Thanks for the rec, @willjobst.bsky.social

It's Muscadine Monday on my Bluesky, apparently!

In case you missed it

If you folks out there haven't heard of Ex Tenebris, could I convince you to take a moment and look at this gloomy monstrosity? There are so many cool people in its orbit now!

Do you have a ttrpg that in your opinion is so under celebrated that you have appointed yourself head of the PR committee for that game? Where on at least one occasion someone mistakenly assumed you must have worked on it but really you're just unwell about it? What's that game to you?

THREADCUTTERS: the Monarchs of Wands. I'm not sure if I ended up here from Shakespeare or later cartoons, but I've always like the idea of Titanian sticking Oberon in a tree for his dalliances and getting on with her ruling. In Threadcutters, you're there to kill them both for their crimes.

I cannot believe this little bug is making me cry. If they're doomed, DO NOT TELL ME.

Ok TTRPG community, we often hear the same advice (justifiably), but what are you unconventional, obscure suggestions when it comes time to promote a project/crowdfund?

THREADCUTTERS: The Monarchs. Working our way through the Monarchs of the Four Courts for the Threadcutters to make their hits on. Today's card is the Queen of Swords, the master manipulator who jet-sets from one capitol to another, keeping a forever war going.

Live now on Kickstarter! Doomspiral a #TTRPG of desperate battles in a dying world. This is our love letter to soulslike games, with dramatic fights, labyrinthine exploration and many laughing shopkeeps. Back now before the cruel spiral of entropy consumes all. www.kickstarter.com/projects/sou...

If you see this, quote the energy you bring to Bluesky.

Oh hell yes, this is going to be good! (My dream is to see a Sony Animation studios take on one of his comics)

We're launching a new game tomorrow, featuring legendary boss battles, exploration of crumbling ruins and tons of weird little guys www.kickstarter.com/projects/sou...

Excitement levels rising...

The amazing Sword Opera by @ericfarmer.bsky.social and Eli Kurtz is out! I'm glad for the chance not only to write for this book, but also for @nightjargames.bsky.social's awesomely mood-setting art to accompany the section I worked on, an Underworld evoking decadently doomed Tang dynasty romance!

I wrote the Underworld of "A Lingering in Lilac" for "Sword Opera"! Inspirations or resonances include Water Margin, Longest Day in Chang'an, Brotherhood of Blades, Blades of the Guardians, The Litchi Road; along with historical travelogues of Wang Dayuan's Daoyi Zhilüe and Zhao Rukuo's Zhu Fan Zhi!

I'd love it if you checked out my OSR-ish adventure game. There's a hexmap now!

Folks! Eric Farmer & Eli Kurtz have completed their symphony of swordplay! If you had the misfortune to miss out on the funding campaign, then here is your chance! (Also some art of mine is in there, but nothing half as sick as that incredible cover) mythicgazetteer.itch.io/sword-opera

Finally closing up the folder labeled "jamwizard", packing it in jars and sending it down to the cellar to mature.

There's 24 hours left on early bird reward so I guess I should talk about that! We're creating a gorgeous foiled slipcase, designed by @ndpdesign.com, containing the core rulebook, campaign book, and a beautiful illustrated map by @jogbrogzin.bsky.social www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla... 1/

Ex Tenebris has launched! Beyond the dark emptiness of space, beyond dreaming, lies the Tenebrium. Only you can unearth its mysteries, defeat the twisted horrors that lurk there, and keep humanity from becoming prey. Please share the link and back (if you want) #ttrpg #kickstarter #spacegothic

That's right! A big thank you to Becky and Josh for giving me an opportunity to play in their (vast, indescribably ancient) sandbox.

In the last month, I've posted to Patreon: GILA starter region draft, RAID ashcan, NOVA New Dawn mission rules, a new NOVA Spark, and today all of the NOVA New Dawn rulebook. Just saying. www.patreon.com/gilarpgs

Really struggling to focus on my next review... I've kind of fallen in love with Midnight Muscadines by @pandiongames.com and keep reading that instead. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/p...

HALT! I have bad news for you, and your wallets. You've just stumbled upon your new favourite place for gothic gaming goods. #altnerd #dndart #ttrpgs #elderemo #alternativemusic

Lots of fun new NOVA stuff being cooked up right now. Some of it including this amazing art by @nightjargames.bsky.social You might say we're going NOVA over here.

It's uh quite a challenge to try and a Spidermans that isn't Sony trademark, I think we hit it, though.

Everyday hundreds travel through the gates of Helios, the greatest suncity in all of Obron. Art by @nightjargames.bsky.social for the NOVAverse.

Read this and at the bottom, you will find a link. Clicking it will get you in for the ride. Wanna come along? #ttrpg #PBTA #AWBurned #ApocalypseWorld www.belloflostsouls.net/2025/09/apoc...

THREADCUTTERS, MAJOR ARCANA: The Moon Lots of wildlife to shoehorn into a JohnWickian setting on this card. Though I'd go with the sexy rooftop party.

A friend of mine is working on an interesting take on how to do fighter combat with Blades in the Dark. Thought I'd sketch on fighters. 1st I took early racecars for a dieselpunk take and accidentally invented The Last Exile from first principles. 2nd is a WW1 witch, up-armored. Needs iterating.
