Experimenting with drawing on to black paper. I don't know why I've never done this before...

I just realised what day it is, and still has 45 minutes left to share this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZSF...

Aristocrat Bourgeois Peasant Proletarian

Giant Sand Crab might be just a little too tough for a 1st level encounter right now.

Never pass up an opportunity to tell the British government what a bunch of racist scum they are (eloquently). Many of the questions are "gotchas" designed to get a particular response. Consider not just the questions as written, but their logical opposites while answering.

What I really need is for someone to invent a book format where the cover is landscape but the interior is portrait.

I'm having far too much fun just making title page textures for this project. Title font this time is "Grapple BRK" by Brian Kent.

"Tarragon of Virtue" You can have that one, I don't know what to do with it.

Learned today that The Quintessential Curios has been incorrectly flagged as using generative AI. We're not quite sure why this happened yet, but rest assured it was written, drawn and laid out entirely by our weird, meaty, human hands. (+ some stock artwork) www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

Having difficulty proof-reading your work? Send it out for review. You'll immediately spot all the errors you should have found before sending it.

A chapter title page from something I've been trying to get out of my head an on to paper. God knows how this will come out in print but we'll give it a go. Fonts are "Hebi" by Ilham Albab and "Rubik Mono One" by Hubert and Fischer. Background is me photographing weird stuff.

If Starmer was visited by three spirits he'd have them branded a terrorist organisation.

And Quantum Tim, who both DID and DID NOT die until observed...

This #selfpromosaturday I'm re-hyping MINIMAL IMPACT and IMPSOMNIA. These tiny #ttrpg s are one-shot focused and low-prep, perfect for casual game nights and last minute cancelations. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5... www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

You know what? If I'm going to pay ludicrous amounts of money to host my portfolio, I should stop feeling bad about shamelessly promoting it to those kind enough to follow me: www.zacharyelliotthatton.co.uk It's full of weird stuff, fun stuff, noisy stuff, and more weird stuff.

Do I have expansions and supplements to work on for existing games? Yes. Am I spending my time writing an entirely new game system? Also yes.

Over 200 pages of stuff! Maps, adventures, my wonky horse drawing, and more!

I've really been enjoying the speed and simplicity of the core dice mechanics I designed for I Could Do This In My Sleep, So much so that I've tried working them into other genres of #ttrpg. And I'm pleased to say that it just doesn't work. 1/...

This. Is. Why. I. Paint.

*Opens WIP British cyberpunk game document* *Find and replace "dystopian fiction" -> "documentary"* *Closes document*

Got bored waiting for a phone call earlier. If all else fails I've got a good chance as a Geoguessr streamer...

Trying out a different art direction for a revised, second edition of Protomancer (which is still very much WiP).

Alright then, you can have another. I hope you all like things in 7/8. www.youtube.com/watch?v=05P0...

Show me an image on your phone that has your energy but is not a selfie.

The setting guide for I Could Do This In My Sleep is coming along nicely.

Any reason to post this piece of music that I created. Today's reason? I like it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnkD...

Better late than never, I'm designing printable custom cards for Protomancer.

Honestly the person I saw the other day having a full-on, profanity-laced argument with a self-service checkout might be the most sane of us all.

It's possible that I've designed this system entirely around the fact that I usually have precisely three sets of dice easily to hand.

It's #PortfolioDay? Well then, I make stuff that has on occasion been referred to as art. Some illustration, some video, lots of music and a sizeable helping of game design too. 🔗 www.zacharyelliotthatton.co.uk

If there's a feeling better than someone choosing to pay "full" price for your Pay-what-you-want title, I don't know what it is.

The Playtest Adventures of Level 1 Thief Dude vs The Filth-Dwelling Wyrm! "Something stirs at the far side of the room: a mound of what first appeared to be mouldering sewage unfurls to reveal stubby legs protruding from a tubular body, serpentine eyes, and a maw of needle-like teeth."

Beanjackers, Minimal Impact and Impsomnia are all included in this free bundle. An excellent opportunity to try out a new game, tell your friends, and consider leaving a review!

You: Exhausted, knee-deep in javascript, wrestling the hottest new VTT to work with your favourite system. Me: "Hang about, gonna screen-share my spreadsheet."

I'm getting old, my back hurts, and I need a lighter guitar.

Do I skip the sex ghost episode, or suffer through it for completeness's sake?

Quick sketch while waiting for a call.

1 week from today!!! #art #inking #comics #goblin
