just got my fastest query rejection ever - only 20 minutes! Nice.

Threxyl Lariat and Detector from Draw Steel.

Oh go on then

Hey Draw Steel knowers, in “The Dark Heart of the Wood,” are a Threxyl’s mobility roots bunched up at the base like a crinoid, or along the side, like a centipede. Also, are their bodies just one vine, or a mess of vines? #DrawSteel

I am very excited to run dark heart of the wood #drawsteel

James is right the whole team did such a great job! I was blown away by the maps for example. Play this quest!

Adventures are my favourite thing to design because you get to do a little bit of everything. Characters, monsters, magic items, story, map design!

Dark Heart is out today! This is my first release as lead designer so I’m very excited. I can’t wait to hear how people find it!

First 8 player age dawning in our galaxy. I was a species of space dinosaur that used black holes to eat other peoples ships and turn them into my own. I got to 9 points and then played a relic card which would have given me the win on a d10 roll. I rolled bad and my home planet blew up

Hi TTRPG people, my calendar is currently free heading into 2026, so I'm looking for more freelance design work! If you're interested you can check out my current portfolio here, which I'll be updating further over the next few months: crypticparlour.com/games

Hell yes

As always: love and support to my North American friends out in the streets fighting against tyranny. You’re my heroes. Stay safe and stay sharp. Fuck ice

Huge thanks to everyone backing this project. MCDM continues to raise the ceiling on employee and freelance pay, on artist rates, and much more. It is truly a challenge to change how our industry operates.

Goran is one of the main reasons I’m on this platform

Drawing Draw Steel: Day 2: Angulotl Cleaver

Back on the agent querying horse 🤠

Hell yeah they do

to those of you about to test dark heart of the wood. My dark heart of the wood goes out to you

Hello draw steel followers. I am currently sitting on a draft warfare system for DS and have started to think about making it a paid release (with MCDMs blessing). Once Dark Heart of the Wood wraps, would you like that? Is there interest in that being a thing next year? (I’ll probably do it anyway)

just did 63 damage on a level 1 fury in Draw Steel after getting the shit kicked out of us by a mutant pig, this game rules

A very exciting day for me :)

quick book update: after receiving feedback from an agent last march that it was too short (it really was), I set to expanding it and rewriting the end. I have now reworked the whole thing 18 months later. Time to break out the agent spreadsheet again?

@unfetteredmuse.bsky.social ran over to a zombie, smoked it, critted, overkilled a second one, teleported to a THIRD zombie and stabbed it. wtf

shadow powers are so sick it's the best rogue ever designed

Only took three years to find a copy

I'll be posting some stuff I've been working on for Draw Steel. Here's the image I did for the censor! #mcdm #drawsteel

Have stumbled across Luke gygax at uk games expo talking about hommlet

The Gilded Quill🌘 I had the lovely opportunity to illustrate the adventure written by @stmannell.bsky.social and published by @wildmagepress.com! Oh, and happy #mermay everyone! 😊🧜🏼‍♀️ #art #fantasy #illustration

This adventure is one of my proudest achievements :) Big love to all the other contributors as well, I keep saying can't believe the company I get to be in. Also check out this amazing art of Lucia bamboozling some poor rich idiot by @katerinaladon.bsky.social. It rules!

A new age dawneth in thy galaxy

A quick bit of gratitude to the ttrpg world. Thanks for letting me make things for you! The last few years I've designed some things that I'm truly really proud of, and without all of your support I wouldn't be able to be where I am.
