Morning thoughts before packing my personal stuff into the car and leaving for Origins. First, hauling an entire booth's worth of tables, chairs, television, and boxes in just two hatchbacks is possible, but a pain in the ass. Second, there's no way in hell I'm getting on I-70 going east.

My booth is 1417! ☺️

Making notes for Origins. Need to visit @stickydoodler.bsky.social at booth 1502, @pagesofivy.bsky.social at 2015, and @dragonsworn.net at 1103. Who else do I need to keep an eye open for?

Got a lot to do the rest of the evening, and leaving for Origins in the morning, so the Trading Post is now in Vacation Mode until Monday.

Dress for the job you want.

www.backerkit.com/c/projects/w... Hey all! Gallerie is almost funded, with just a last stretch of less than 2k to go. In light of that I wanted to post a master list of videos for those of you who have been waiting for concrete play examples to get to know the game better. 1/4

if you buy a company just to forcibly close it for profit you should go to prison, hope this helps

I am always amused with the timeline does stuff like this.

Every bit of support helps me keep creating. If you enjoy what I do, consider leaving a tip! #KoFi #Support #Tip ko-fi.com/crewmansix/tip

Who needs a little lunchtime reading? Today, we've got a follow-up to our stream with @alexrineh.art talking about Cyberrats in Space, which dropped on Kickstarter TODAY! Give it a read, if you would be so kind! lorelink.com/blog/cyberra...

Hey folks, if you don't have 2FA on your account, turn it on -- looks like there's a new wave of pornbots using stolen accounts. They all have repeated consonants in their display name (I've seen multiple Kristttttta and Marrrrrry so far) so I'm assuming they're all part of the same network. 🥴

my birthday is tomorrow...

I'll be on the Origins Game Fair at booth 1502 this Thu-Sat. Come get a copy of The Bonsai Diary, which is up for an Origins Award! You can also find The Bonsai Diary at @ipr.bsky.social's booth 1803 alongside other great journaling games...

Truth. I've been wanting to learn 3D modeling since the pando started, because I have ideas I want to turn into 3D prints. Not ONCE did I ever think to type the idea into a water-wasting plagiarism machine to get an STL made. Fuck. That. Also, keep throwing me on anti-AI blocklists. I love it.

In relation to yesterday's blog post. The time between when the shop goes back up, and the weekend I vend at @inconindy.bsky.social in July, are honestly going to make or break everything. In early July, I'll have about $300 in yearly bills for the shop, Patreon files, and other con fees.

Heads up, y'all. In no way related to yesterday's post, the shop will be shutting down on Tuesday evening, after I get home from packing for Origins. It will be in "Vacation Mode" until around late the 21st, or early on the 22nd. Anything ordered before this will get shipped Wednesday morning.

*looks at no sales the past few months* *looks at shelves full of product gathering dust* What's the fucking point? *looks into deactivating everything*

Would love to end the weekend with another milestone! Help share please!

A run by post to announce that I'm now a #Patreon Creator Ambassador! Longer post on my Patreon coming soon to break down what this means for me and Patrons!

As I mentioned in a Twitch stream's chat, I'm really looking forward to checking out The Bonsai Diary at Origins. @stickydoodler.bsky.social is going to be there with it. (I'm the person from Reddit, BTW) Link for those who asked: stickydoodler.itch.io/the-bonsai-d...

Fuckin’ nurses, man. They’re the worst patients. I’ll be able to rest after the album release show tonight at Hero House (7pm, $10, all ages, I’ll be shooting and slinging zines)

That being said, the Troxell Builds newsletter just dropped to my subscribers. If you'd like a shop discount code, in addition to reasons why I'm not building anything, feel free to subscribe: tonytroxell.info

Summer is normally the time of year I get the most work done on my prop projects. I haven't been able to do shit this year, and it's really starting to bug me.

This really is a nice, chill, and often hilarious way to end the work week. I strongly recommend it.

SHOUTING AT ALL MY COMIC BOOK FOLLOWERS, BRING ME YOUR QUIRKY LINE DRAWINGS OR YOUR FRIENDS WHO CAN MAKE THEM!!!!

Hey Ko-fi backers! All three of you, all of which who follow me on here! *LOL* I've got an update for you! Take a look if you'd like! ko-fi.com/post/Quick-U...

If I'm quiet on here for most of next week, this is why. I'm probably going to have to load Bluesky back onto my phone for this, but I'll only be logged into the Lore Link account. If you're there, I hope to see you!

Damn it. I have a meeting in, like, seven minutes, and I just hit a wall. Probably finally crashing out after my dental appointment this morning. Really lousy time to do this, body. This isn't one of those "it could have been an email" sort of deals.

I know I haven't been talking about it much because of everything going on in my life right now, but I DO have a shop that sells 3D printed TTRPG accessories, jewelry, and other assorted fun little things. Take a look? Maybe pick something up? I would appreciate it. :) troxellstradingpost.shop

We’re just a few donations away from hitting the halfway mark on our 2026 fundraiser! Help us blow past that line so we can get more events going this Summer/Fall! #FilmForGood #movies 🔗 gofund.me/177f65d56

Are you going to be at Origins Game Fair in Columbus, Ohio next week? Drop us your table number, and let folks know what they should throw money at you for!

Bump!

Going to the dentist. Yay. *goes to bump up his Ko-fi medical debt goal*

If you're planning a crowdfunding campaign, you should absolutely reach out to Zach. He crushed it with the Mörk Sol and Bog God trailers. Make your campaign pages shine with fantastic videos!

Nothing sets the mood for the day like spending $1K on your dogs' annual wellness exam and vaccines, with another couple grand flying out the door in a few weeks as one dog requires their annual surgery to remove their hair follicle tumours. Buy my book julessherred.com/crip-up-the-...

Friends, I would like to present to you the ÜBERSCHLONG, which will be heading off to auction with @romancingthevote.com to help secure voting rights.

I love this guy.

New art! Sales go towards helping us fund the printer for being able to create prints!

I keep forgetting that I haven't posted Frankie Stein from my Monster High fanart set, but she's done! The hardest part with Frankie is that her palette is bonkers, so it took me awhile to make her look cohesive. Who should I draw next?
