The Reassembulation Will Be Messy I’m reassembulating wizardthieffighter.com on a different platform, in a different format and style. This reassembulation will be messy. Most links will die. The seodaemons will not be appeased. Not all pages will make it. —Luka, Jan 2026

Hey, just so you know, I'm putting together a sample of the bird book and agonizing over which birds to put on the cover... So, consider this a free call for your favorites! 🐦‍⬛

anyway I’m gonna go cry for a bit

"This is a hobby of makers" resonates with my growingly informed opinions on RPGs for the last 5 years. RPGs are not an industry. Every project is a passion; the results of success would be unequal to the reward, if not also for the fact that it *satisfies* a deep need in the maker.

Some of y'all asked if we're including dinosaurs in our upcoming bird book. Well, yesn't. #ZoologistsPrimer

Right. I hardly ever ask for anything, but this is the year I say 'what the hell' and go for it. On all the social platforms I have ever been on, I've never broken a few hundred followers and you know what? I think my artwork is as good as accounts with thousands. I'm wishing for 1k by xmas 😂

New bird drop! And an FAQ to match! #ZoologistsPrimer www.patreon.com/posts/insert...

Today is a pretty standard day at our house/studio: Jakub is researching chicken folklore, I'm drawing the chunkiest possible northern cardinal. It's not flashy or aspirational - just a day of steady, consistent work. That's how big projects are made. Enjoy the birb.

The dickcissel (spiza americana) read research papers about cardinal bird family, and then made its entire existence about forcing scientists to include "with exception of..." at the end of every paragraph discussing the cardinalidae.

Caracaras turned out to be surprisingly difficuilt to research, partially because of their conflicting lore, and partially because of how much bullsjit and AI generated slop clutters the internet lately. Found out some cool facts though!

Today, we're writing about canaries. What's the likelihood that we'll manage to smuggle "classically birb-shaped" past a science editor?

I must thank wikipedia for having this image of a Gloster Fancy canary. It definitely made my morning :).

And then there were three ✨

1. I see elsewhere on Bluesky that the discourse has turned toward telling writers not to be ashamed to admit they have day jobs or other sources of income (or spousal/family financial support), and you know what, that's 100% correct. Day jobs and support from loved ones are great if you have them!

Mother of the Cosmos Painted this for a charity project with the goal of raising money for the British hen welfare trust. I joined the project because it's for a good cause and I really wanted to paint a chicken. Will post more about the project later, so stay tuned!

You hear the mournful howl of a lone wolf, crying towards the full moon’s uncaring face. Soon, you stumble onto a starved-looking timber wolf, its hind leg trapped betwixt the iron jaws of a bear trap. The animal faces your approach with bared fangs, snarling. #WritingPrompt #ttrpg #WayfarersDeck

Larpocracy, the EU project I'm involved with, is throwing a larp festival in Krakow next year. Here is the first flyer. (Also, it will be bilingual, Polish and English.) The tagline translates to: play someone - be yourself!

#ColorsOfFinland day 21. Coming soon to Monster Manuals near you, the angry snowflake demon!

A farmhouse is half-buried under snow. The fireplace is dark, yet you can still feel the warmth. The table is set for dinner; a pot of fresh broth cools amid plates. And yet, nobody is home. Eventually, you find prints of bare feet leading to the dark forest. #WritingPrompt #ttrpg #WayfarersDeck

I have a fever, and the only prescription is coming up with smoothest tttpg mechanics in the land. And I think I might have just had an idea on how to use dice like never before!

This fall has been an extra slow one for small businesses out here, and the tea house is $3.7k shy of where we need to be to make rent before late fees hit this month. All this to say, if you have some tea shopping to do or friends to point our way today, we'd sure appreciate it!

Molting Velociraptor 👎

One of these days, I'll need to reach out to terrifyingly successful people and organizations to start setting up some publicity for The Bird Book. I love folklore. I love birds. I love writing and drawing. But talking to people...? 😱 If you know non-scary sci-com bird people, let me know 😅

I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote: "To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace." No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

Shadowrun / Cyberpunk GMs, take note. It's okay to not create obstacles too hard for your group's resident netrunner/decker 🏅

This is a fun book. I picked it up when collecting early research for our book on magical mushrooms, but it turned out we're talking about slightly different things ✨🪄

As a Polish, born and living in Warsaw, I can confirm.

If you need more birds in your life and can't wait until we're done with The Bird Book, Lindsay Nikole has you covered with the most heinous birds of all time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJrS...

So I hear nanotyrannus is officially a species now? Way to go short king!
