This is a wonderful example of a professional using their knowledge and experience to share tips to help people bloom and grow and increase their chances of wonderful professional opportunities.

This advice is great. If you want art directors to check out your work, make it easy to find and easy for the AD to share it with other people. Don't be precious.

PORTFOLIO TIPS FOR ILLUSTRATORS I am an art director who has probably seen close to 1000 portfolios, many great, but many...not 😔 This is a doc I wrote featuring tips and tricks for how to make a better art portfolio site. Feel free to share with anyone who may find this useful <3 #art

Reposting this just to say that the grind mindset is actively detrimental to the creative process. I wish more shows and productions embraced a slower pace. I’m co GMing my first VTM chronicle and we had like 6-8 months of preproduction before starting recording. Rest is good! More ppl should rest

I just tell everyone I want to EAT THEIR ART

This is the one (1) ttrpg AP podcast I’m listening to rn. The editing is clean and is easy for me to follow the plot despite having an audio processing disorder I love the show so far and can’t wait to finally catch up 👁️👁️

The funny thing about Discourse About The Discourse (or DATD) is that sometimes it's a dude with 20 followers who says something like "I don't think tarot cards are a good resolution mechanic" and sometimes it's the Award Winning Author Of Bestselling Game who says "I think it's fun to be a Nazi"

everyone please clap I saw discourse and thought about saying my opinion but instead opted not to #learningAndGrowing

I cold DM'd @naladraws.com after years of being fan of theirs to do a voice part for a side gig. Since then, Jae has been such a generous collaborator, one of my favorite parts of Cast Away, has given SO MANY good ideas and helped me improve as a creator. Infinitely grateful they said "yes"

I’m not sure what my “most woke opinion” is, but one opinion I do have is that I wish weird little white people hadn’t co-opted the term woke from its original meaning (which afaik is an AAVE term mainly about being aware of systemic racism) - It even annoys ME that all we do is steal lol

Genuinely have yall @obojima.bsky.social ever watched a Ghibli movie? Do you actually understand the media you consume or are you that distracted by the whimsy of clout chasing buzz words? I can't even tell you to stick to dnd. Dnd explores more depth then you can comprehend. Embarrassing truly.

I've been masking in every public space and in private spaces with people who don't mask as vigilantly as my household does for the last 6 years! Navigating a world that doesn't mask is difficult, but the choice to and act of wearing a mask is simple

sometimes there’s just no words

spotted in a local game store in Colorado! had fun pointing to @naladraws.com name for my partner :))

Welcome, Twitter escapees/new Bluesky users. Four quick tips: 1. Starter packs are awesome. I made a game dev one here -> go.bsky.app/RxQCsKS 2. Bluesky's block is much more potent. Do not quote, or dunk. There's no pay-to-win so silence does remove nasty people. Blocks and move on copiously.

Christmas makeup look ☺️ #ootd

Save an artist (or yourself) this holiday and encourage them to leave the bad place.

I'm looking to talk to an artist or two who are interested in visual novels, dating sims, and might consider a long-term project. Any recommendations? Still in the exploring phase for building something. Reposts or tags appreciated.

I want a world where I dont wake up disappointed in the TTRPG “community” again and again surrounded by people who claim allyship to look good but then don’t show up and speak up when we need it

If we’re going to get really no quarter about genAI usage, I’m going to need people to learn the difference between AI and genAI real fast.

How to GM Romance is out now on Digital! Created by @kiennas.bsky.social, @naladraws.com, @sailorsctaustin.bsky.social, @erfjordan.bsky.social and @dollarsanddragons.com With cover art by @defenestratin.bsky.social Grab a copy for you or your GM right now! metalweavegames.com/collect...

for all the bs that obojima is, they do not use genAI for art & have an anti GenAI policy. All their artists are credited. There are MANY reasons to hate the game. SO MANY!!! But GenAI use isn’t one of them!! can we focus on how racist it is instead? And how no one’s listening to Asian folks?

Check out the announcement for 48-word RPG Jam on @rascal.news in which I highlighted some notable entries to 2025's 36-word RPG jam. ✨ www.rascal.news/48-word-rpg-...

Guys. I’m so sorry. There’s nothing revolutionary about a white man secretly fucking a wasian man. It’s a pretty common occurrence bc of like fetishization and stuff. Yall are being kinda weird

Then, to understand why using militaristic, imperialist logic in a game claiming to be Ghibli-inspired is absolutely horrendous, check out this resource Cai has curated: bsky.app/profile/este...

If you're wondering why creating faceless monsters you can kill without remorse because you feel you *have* to kill something is bad, please read this article I wrote ⬇️ & do read the *whole* article, not just what's available for free. www.rascal.news/ttrpgs-and-t...

If you play, promote, or otherwise support obojima just know I’m booing and hissing at you and yours booooooooooooooo

If these gutless dudes actually had spines, they themselves and their company wouldn't full-mute every criticism and would actually be accountable for the toxic leakage they are into the TTRPG space at all.

Dude, how the hell were they able to raise this much money with such ass takes🤢

'Hi we made a "Ghibli-inspired" world and we think it's lame to "examine the moral complexities of the world"' If you buy/promote Obojima I will lose all my respect for you.

It is 2018. You're scrolling the TTRPG timeline and orientalist stuff is in the mainstream. You and every Asian TTRPG person is tired. It is 2025. You're scrolling the TTRPG timeline and orientalist stuff is in the mainstream. You and every Asian TTRPG person continue to be fucking tired.

How many times have I been told to give this racist game and its racist creators grace, and second chances? and empathy, and good faith, and and and? Nah. This isn’t just a fundamental misunderstanding of Ghibli. It is colonialist fucking desecration. @obojima.bsky.social Go fuck yourselves.

this obojima shit is a really great example of why a lot of people burn out on ttrpgs. there’s so many harmful dynamics on display AND these paragons of white mediocrity get to make money from it? this kinda bullshit is poison to the spirit tbh.

give me a song and i’ll make a fantasy pc concept

Finally catching up to the #Survivor49 finale and MAN if I had a nickel for every time a finalist randomly revealed they’re working for or was literally in the military I’d have TWO FUCKIN NICKELS??? WHY. Booo hiss boooooo

@lyla.bsky.social and I are doing a panel about the collaborative aspects of creating a game as a group project! There be many a pitfall, and we want to help people avoid as many as possible! If you’re local to Boston, PULL UP!!!

My stipend from class has been cut down, and I’ve fallen so behind on rent and bills while going to school and looking for grooming jobs. Food stamps are gone and Ichi is about to run out of food, and my car needs work. I’m sick and tired of asking for help but I have no choice. I appreciate it 🖤

the need (for white people especially) to give AI a slur in order to express distaste towards it will never not be weird to me…

Cooked dinner tonight 👀🫶🏼 It’s sun dried tomato cream pasta & salmon with spinach and Parmesan

Uninstall Even if you "don't use the skin" or "will kill anyone using the skin on sight", playing the game is allowing kickback to JK Rowling in one way or another Make this licensing deal wholly not worth it I know it sucks to give up a game you like to play but if enough ppl do it,

it was an absolute pleasure to contribute to this project! many thanks to @naladraws.com for their stellar art direction and for letting me be as self indulgent as possible 💖 I'd love to do more TTRPG illustrations like these!

I know they're losing, and I'll pay for my place by the ring…
