the people who mentored me into this shitass industry were always very honest and open to me about talking numbers about what it means to make a TTRPG, and so any sort of "inside look at the industry" kinda content that doesn't talk numbers up front feels extremely sketchy to me from the get go

We're always refining, but the SPG Royalty Process shakes out like this; We ask everyone to keep rough track of how many hours they spend on work, and how that time is spent across pieces of work. If someone struggles with this, we ask them to estimate it at the end of the project.

tomorrow we get together with the girls to build gunpla and paint minis and shit and I'm gonna use this chance to buy these awesome sweet potato chips I love so much. Sweet potato chips are prolly the best chips since truffle chips

I fortunately got to get a Zephyr copy before the print run because the box cover was so dark you literally couldn't see the windfolk. It took 3 months to redo them and by then I was out of Japan so I'll only ever see what my game box actually looks like when I go to UKGE next year lmao

Any help would be greatly appreciated as we near the month's end! #MutualAid

One freelance journalist says she’s meeting more Japanese women who are entering the overseas sex trade. Some say they’re driven by frustration that their incomes in Japan remain stagnant, no matter how hard they work. buff.ly/lA0geJx

Our next project funding cycle is going to open in a few days, so you're attending #AHA2026 and want to chat about JPP, now is the time to set up a meeting with me! ✨

This starts in 15 mins! Tune in to see the action!

The proliferation of SRDs is a direct consequence of the simultaneous mystification as well as derision of design. Everyone does it because they feel fundamental design is either too hard, or not worth pursuing (and self justify that by appealing to the marketability of any one pre-made system...

please helps us trounce this bullshit shit's an automated war on imagination

What about the enslaved microwork? Guess that is fine, it is not creative work. Guess if they were meant for creative work they would not be prisoners, refugees, or be born in the right country and class.

So TikTok hit me with the takedown on my Music For The Cattail King timelapse, and I'm guessing it's because of... goblin boobs? They didn't have an issue with another video on this piece featuring me simply drawing the king without showing the boobs in frame. Wild how very vaguely drawn boobs...

Made characters for a couple of friends to reignite our WHF 3RD campaign. This is gonna kick ass. We got three broke freeloaders, one who's hiding a warpstone chunk in a bag of entrails, and they're about to run into a knight of the Order of Panthers and a reputable Middenlander tax collector...

I wanna read this article but It's blocked lmao. Anyway, here's my two cents: Frist Cent: There is plenty of valid reasons to actually study this, and the closest thing I can think of is Julian Jaynes stuff on the Bicameral Mind. None of those valid reasons are about "dehumanizing" people; ...

lmaooo

for some reason the TikTok algorythm *hates* the timelapse video of the Music for the Cattail King piece, and I'm not sure that it is because it has drawn "feminized" nudity in it (the Crocodile King Envoy had that too but it was abstracted enough to pass?)

Music for the Cattail King!

Here’s a thread to talk a little more about my games! I’ve been making and self-publishing ttrpgs since 2004. My design approach is to use rules that matter to drive play that satisfies the promise of the game. You can find all of these at www.ndpdesign.com

My cousin is moving to spain because argentina is becoming unlivable, especially for the younger generations (she's 22) and I'm like... very happy for her (I migrated at the same age), but at the same time I'm very worried because Spain and Italy and the classic Argentinian migrations places...

Bringing this one up again. I'm up for facilitating copies and the like for any AP folks who wanna highlight games from the global south, who wanna help put eyes on new stuff that's talking about ecology and social institutions of care, my DMs are open! And I appreciate y'all sharing it around

The day 1 violence of pluribus is chemical warfare and rape on a worldwide scale to transform everyone into what "mother knows best". Pluribus is geo-engineering but on humans. I don't think it's about the loss of individuality; it's much more. Its reductivism at a species level that makes for...

Getting some eyes on urgent need.

Jane Doe is literally the hottest character to be drawn in recent memory.

Ok so talking seriously, and sorry, but this is extremely OOO-pilled: PLUR1BUS is horrifying because it's essentially "what if we did geo-engineering on humanity". It is an act of ultimate reductiveness. The organism is *not* a combination of all people in humanity, because people are more than...

Pluribus is my apex nightmare scenario because if everyone in the world turned into a shitlib I'd freak out into exterminating the whole human species in a single fit of rage.

So real talk: We’re currently in the lead. But if we can just smash it out, I’m going to leverage this. I’m going to talk to that site and pressure them to put forward an anti-AI policy. It’s a small time site award. We won with 100 votes in October. This will make them pay attention to backlash.

It's a fucking travesty that AI slop is even allowed to compete with real short films. Take the moment to register and vote, show those assholes that we won't stand for this shit.

It's so gross to me because this is a nice little amateur level festival thing. We won in October because it was all organic votes I drummed up. Now they're trying to dominate, despite not even having a cash award or anything. It's just sickening. Stay out of art, fuckwits.

Our film: #iHunt: Loose Threads. It's DIY as fuck. $0 budget. Written and filmed in a week. It's a punk as fuck take on the horrors of the gig economy. Seriously, like vote, but WATCH IT. We're currently developing a feature film for investors. Winning this gets us closer to the BIG SCREEN.

We were in first place in this film award voting. A film made purely with AI just netted over 150 votes in 12 hours. Now it's personal. Please. Help us kick this THING's ass fair and square. ART FOR ARTISTS. Reshare? VOTE! www.shortoftheyear.com/audience-cho...

eu como, bebo, vivo e respiro rpg — eu to ralando com essa porra sem parar, tem ANOS, e eu não conheço UM autor que não para pra ouvir a premissa interessante (e bem apresentada) de um jogo novo; principalmente se ele tem potencial. não falta espaço. falta vontade de fazer um trem bem feito.

Twenty years on and I still think this is the most breathtaking sequence ever put in a videogame. Testament to the fact that scale and awe are not virtues of graphical horsepower alone

Coincidentally reading Maskwitches by @handiworkgames.bsky.social after I spent a few hours looking into the Holocene flooding that affected Doggerland. I thought this was due to dive fucking up of the Gulf Stream but no.

None of y'all are friends to me unless you hear it from me. This is not to be paranoid: We are very likely to, due to cultural differences, operate under very different definitions of friendship (I have a hard time conceiving of friends made exclusively online, even though I have them).

Strengthened bonds with my besties. Survived and helped my mom survive. Grew a lot as an artist. Managed to win the battle with the printer for the Zephyr stock where I risked losing it all. Met new, nice people. Largely said fuck you to my family.
