New #TTRPG! Spirit Box is a spooky LARP that emulates YouTube ghost hunting videos and Found Footage horror movies. Can your group of ghost hunters work out how to put the spirits to rest? Or will they be possessed by a less-than-friendly spirit? starshinescribbles.itch.io/spirit-box

Idk how the “algorithm” here works and still looking so reposting.

I wanna buy a new desk mat with cool art. Everywhere I look is flooded with obvious AI art products. Is there a marketplace that verifies art on products is human made? Do any cool artists on here sell desk mats with their art on them? I need help!

My Cairn 2nd Edition Box Set arrived (a perk of being on the Dev Team). As fulfillment begins to ramp up, I'd thought I'd give everyone a (badly photographed) preview of what you get for your 55USD (+shipping). 1/?
