I made a new video! We take a look at the 1999 Dragon Ball Z TTRPG! We look through the rules, make a character, and draw up a portrait in the style of Akira Toriyama!! Link: youtu.be/gPwpEPR2Fcw

four paths through the mushroom world

my new year's resolution/commitment/intent/goal is called "elf book"

Not a bad way to spend New Years day!!

Dona Adelaide went mushroom picking yesterday. She finally showed up early this morning, but she did not look quite like herself anymore… #procreate #folkhorrorart

Recenti stuff

† Did I mention Swords Without Master? Did I mention the Unwritten Earths Symposium? Then I should mention that we're about to run a Kickstarter for an ambitious re-release of that game: www.kickstarter.com/projects/unw... I'd say more, but if you're following me, you'll see more soon enough.

In researching for a new Map Crow video, I landed on this diagram in an old issue of "The General". Old gaming zines are rad!! archive.org/details/Gene...

HERES THE REEVEEAALL!! Warhammer and Polly-Pocket (or i guess in this case Mighty Max) Are together at last! This is a project i've had in the back of my mind for YEARS so im super pleased to finally have it done, and i gotta say it's been the most fun to play with lol #warhammer #warhammer40k

#hobbystreak day 727 These horror gribbly freaks are done. They bring me to 400 models done for the year. I pushed to finish them before travelling for Christmas. Dirty grimey bloody horrors. The colours are based classic virgin mary paitnings #modelling #scratchbuild #greenstuff #inq28 #horror

Just want to put out feelers for a TTRPG writer/dev or two who would be interested in collaborating on a pulpy scifi/fantasy project in 2026 with myself and another artist/writer. Ideally someone who'd fuck with "Frank Frazetta but queer" as an aesthetic. Would love 2 chat if this sounds interesting

Bashing some kits!! I feel skeletons with puffy sleeves should just be a skirmish game.

Out now: THE SNOW QUEEN'S FURY, a midwinter one-shot for Draw Steel! Battle dangerous ice monsters, explore a strange fey realm, and negotiate with a powerful archfey to save a village from endless winter. An icy mystery! Tips for running at 1st, 2nd, or 3rd echelon! Queer grandmas! ⚔️❄️

I’m listening to the audio collection of the Science Fiction Hall of Fame. Lots of wild ideas show up much earlier in sci-fi than I would have guessed! Did fantasy enjoy the same level of short story publication as scifi did??

Okay, I realized it's not very comfortable to watch. It will be better this way:

Too much has been made about the similarities between Star Wars and the 4th World, I think. I just like the resonance between these two moments and their visuals. Anyways, more people should read, Mister Miracle #2 from 1971.

I am SUPER excited for this one!!

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.

COMING SOON: Dungeonpulp 2025, a collection of all our system-agnostic postcard dungeons! Pre-orders starting soon on our store! Join our newsletter so you don't miss it! https://bytes.rip/newsletter

Really busting my schedual here, but I'm so proud of my D&D party for this! We've hit a point in the campaign that they've finally upgraded the town with it's own castle. This marks the end of it being a town and officially becoming a city! #myart | #D&D | #dungeonsanddragons

We can’t afford a $1M trailer slot 😔 But reposts on Bluesky cost $0 - and they really help tiny teams like ours ❤️ If cozy medieval creativity is your thing, here’s our Scriptorium trailer!

i think im done! #necromunda #miniaturepainting

The Swords Without Master campaign page has been updated with the final Eidolon Folio we are preparing for the initial campaign: Maps! We are pumped to have @queerwizard.co.uk, @salvaterra.bsky.social, @mapcrow.bsky.social and Arlin Ortiz on board for this one! www.kickstarter.com/projects/unw...

Hinterlight is funded!! Thanks to @plusoneexp.bsky.social and @rrookstudio.bsky.social for helping to make it happen! Very excited to present our new stretch goals in our update! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gla...

Hello fine people ! As I celebrate my 36th revolution around our good old sun, I'd like to share some of the artworks that really made a difference in my career. If you enjoyed one of these through your adventures, feel free to say hello, and if you're a fellow cartographer, show me your work ! 😉

A half memory clings like a scrap of flesh on carrion. Once upon a time, in another life, the path you walked was that of a…

Another page from Fantastic Four #57 (December 1966), with pencils by Jack Kirby, inks by Joe Sinnott, and awesome colour mis-registration by the printer!

did you know that Formless Star is the "Game of the Year"*? and it's free? why, you'll look like a fool if you don't play it! splendidland.itch.io/formless-star *as decided by a panel of judges composed of myself and my own bloated ego, and a crowd of my most beloved sycophants

Well, I made a new kitbash!! Needs more painting, but it’s table ready!! #kitbash

I wrote an essay on the basics of platforms and indie TTRPGs for this volume, which will come out in 2026 mcfarlandbooks.com/product/Play...

Also for #Turnip28: Chuckles & Grouse: The Chickens. With my original sketch, a terrain piece made from failed attempts (too big) and a draft of a custom cult to use them in-game.

Today's cyberpunk kitbash inspired by still-in-progress artwork by @lettuces.bsky.social . #miniaturepainting #inq28 #kitbash

In a way, all crawls are just pointcrawls with extra details. What's important is making those extra details meaningful. This is a great article. Required reading. Everyone should follow @exeunt.press if they haven't already. www.skeletoncodemachine.com/p/everything...

'Rising of the sun' by contemporary UK artist Catherine Hyde #womensart #December1st

@byodinsbeardrpg.com it was lovely to meet you! I am very excited to run We Deal in Lead that I bought from you today!!

@gonzohistory.bsky.social Wonderful talk at Dragonmeet! You were looking a bit mobbed afterwards, so I ducked out after for a bite to eat.

Hey @haematinon.bsky.social your Ergo Cosmos book looks really great!

The latest TEETH newsletter features a guest essay on OVER/UNDER by prolific journalist and role-player @markwallace.bsky.social It's really good. Have a read!

This is Swamptown, an isometric location map drawn by me with adventure hooks and what-not from @lexikonical.bsky.social. it's on sale at present, along with some other bits - link below! #ttrpg #tabletopgaming

New kitbash! Inspired by the Mother Courage enemy in Forever Winter! Thinking it would be a great monster for Killsampleprocess, The Doomed, or Therodyssey! So many cool games to try!! #kitbash

Woke up thinking about this piece that @nightjargames.bsky.social did for GILA. Time to get back to it.

'Silhouettes' by Vermont printmaker Jeanne Amato #womensart

Spontaneously decided to kitbash some Spyrers for Necromunda. Had these wings on my desk since forever. #miniaturepainting #kitbash #necromunda Available for sale: ko-fi.com/s/8f031e105d

Today I played some lowspiritspress.itch.io/flying-ostri... It's a Troika-based solo hexcrawl that I highly recommend! Darius the Thin, my character from the Flying Necropolis, kept getting lost in the clouds and eventually got dismounted in a joust versus a renegade housecarl.

PAX Unplugged has begun! Stop by the Gila RPGs booth, #3958, and grab some awesome indie TTRPGs!
