Cleaning out my (massive) iPhoto library and came across the moment my #TTRPG Journey hit #22 on the @drivethrurpg.com top 100!

Who the heck is Jeff Bukovinsky?

“Jesus laughed maniacally as the man convulsed.” I’m on book six, and at this point I dunno if Matt Dinniman can phase me anymore 😂

Downloaded the new Affinity to give it a try, and I hate that I have to have a Canva account to use it now. Definitely keeping V2 of the apps installed on my computer and iPad, just in case.

Here's a question to the creative folks here on Bluesky. The cover art for the Stoneblock 4 modpack for #Minecraft features a blocky environment. How would you go about creating something like this? I know Blender might work, just trying to figure out what the easiest path to accomplish this is

On book six of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series! My breakneck pace through these books slowed a bit on book five, but still really enjoying the story

If I was going to see a reference to the practice of soaking in a book, I'm not surprised it was a book in the Dungeon Crawler Carl series.

Oh hey, looks like I’ve reached that time of life where taking off a jacket might just cause a pinched nerve so bad that I’m rendered half immobile. Neat.

I’m at the point where any corporation who sends me a guest survey without compensating me for that time is getting a survey of all zeroes back.

Y’all I am far too sensitive today to be getting all of these dog videos on TikTok.

I do love a clear laptop case as I can use my fun stickers without having to, you know, ruin them by sticking them on something and doing it wrong and wasting a sticker The ones who get it, get it 😂

I never want anyone to assume I think I’m coming from a place of expertise. Like, I’ve done things and learned things I’m confident in, but just because it worked for me doesn’t mean it’s for everyone. Take inspiration wherever you can and turn it into something that works for you.

This whole “advertise on every space possible” thing isn’t new I realize, but it feels increasingly dystopian to be advertised this way. Allegedly Apple will even start showing ads in their Maps app soon. Ads make me actively like your company and product LESS.

I'm literally here trying to download Stoneblock 4 for #Minecraft and being shown ads for prescription medications. In a mod loader. I would like to stop being advertised at by corporations and pharmaceutical companies please.

Seems another surge of folks are joining bluesky, you came at a rough time but we can still try to make the best of it If your a ttrpg person or just in general here's some tips I had though I'll add be sure to turn on alt text requirements in your setting Here's some starter packs for ya to use

I’ve reworked the explanation for how Usage Pools function in Boundless to make them easier to grasp. I’m also introducing “Miss” as an official term to clearly describe what happens when a die doesn’t roll a Hit. The previous wording felt vague, but this update should make things much clearer.

Hey folks, my wife was laid off unexpectedly. We depend on her income with my own. We are crunching numbers, but it's grim. Not sure how we'll make it through November, let alone think about December. You can help here, but we understand everyone is struggling too. <3 ko-fi.com/gnomedic/goa...

Also, we need to stop letting politicians and corporate mouthpieces not answer questions. If you're asked a question and you smokescreen your answer through nonsense, the asker of that question should just say "Never mind" and end the interview. Starve them of attention and force them to answer.

I'm on the second book in the series, and I'm really enjoying it so far! These LitRPGs always make me crave a really solid, fun RPG to play, though. Ky kingdom for an Awaken Online helmet

Okay, time to see what all the hubbub is about! I’ve been feeling really blah today, and remembering that I had a new book to start was a nice little jolt.

Mind blown that we're already over 50 registered Etherscouts, all with their own Designations, and the Etherscout Readiness Assessment for Waywright (the free preview of the core of the game) has been downloaded over 200 times! Lord I really hope folks actually like the game when it comes out 🤣

Welp, that's version two of the Waywright playtest out to testers! I think I'll reward myself with a nice evening mindlessly playing Ball X Pit 🤣

Got the new version of the Etherscout Readiness Assessment for Waywright (the free preview of my solo #TTRPG companion game for #Minecraft) released today, and I'm thrilled with how it's looking and playing. Much more streamlined, like the full game etherscouts.com/join to pick up a copy!

The way I'm actually kind of relieved Power Wash Simulator 2 isn't available on Mac so I don't spend the rest of my day doing nothing else.

Inch restin...

I only have two words to say to you. Jimmy Angelov.

We're three weeks old and can boast 555 Solo and Duet #TTRPGs! 🥳 Big thanks if you/ve submitted a game, joined the mailing list or helped spread the word. Every week we change the showcase on our front page and this time it's slasher themed! Check it out solorpglist.com #soloTTRPG #TTRPGsky #GMless

I swear, Affinity is great, but if it crashes on me again while making table edits, I might scream.

Thanks to feedback from some amazing playtesters, I think the final version of Waywright, my solo #TTRPG companion game for #Minecraft, is almost done! This is the more or less finalized table of contents, with the nailed down outline. Just gotta finish this massive chopping back of content!

Pals, I can't stop thinking about Waywright, it's gonna be so cool. The "I love Minecraft but I get bored" in me has yearned for something like this. Did my Etherscout Readiness Assessment last night; did you know you can customize the XXX-XXX characters in your designation? I made mine into a word!

Over the years I’ve collected a few games that I refer back to, that feel satisfying. When I’m dealing with game design and writing choices, they always help me clarify my own friction points. It’s Stoneburner by @rpdeshaies.farirpgs.com and Artefact by @mousehole.press tonight, feeling inspired

Initial feedback coming in for Waywright, which is pretty spot on to what I was expecting. 1. The language of the book is a bit awkward and forced, which makes sense as I've rewritten it SIX times. 2. Flipping between #Minecraft and a notes app is clunky, another area I've been exploring solutions

I think in 2025, protest chants need to get a lot meaner. Don't just chant about what you want, undermine the seriousness of the opposition. Make them feel stupid, and judged. "Hey hey, ho ho, racism has got to go" isn't doing anything, but "everyone here thinks you're an idiot" could be fun

Well the Readiness Assessment sure looks purty on the @itch.io "Latest Physical Games" page!

I published the free Etherscout Readiness Assessment for Waywright to @drivethrurpg.com yesterday, and turned on the "get notified on the sale of a free item" JUST so I can bathe in the glow of those sweet, sweet emails.

When I say my brain is a pooped from redesigning the #Etherscouts website... But I'm really happy with how it's looking, and ties in nicely to the design of the books. Might be ready to do a cover reveal soon! www.etherscouts.com

I have just discovered Balatro and it has ruined my life.

Y'all, I get an email confirmation any time someone registers as an Etherscout and chooses a Designation. And it never gets old.

Welp, the first #Etherscouts thing is officially out there further than just the initial mailing list. Ready and waiting to be ripped to shreds 🤣 Published the free Etherscout Readiness Assessment for Waywright to @drivethrurpg.com as the full game keeps moving forward towards release! #TTRPG

Another Ravanseil map fragment. Crowdfunding right now. Link below. We'd love to have your support to make this project come true. 12 days to go. #ttrpg #cartography #fantasyart #CandelaObscura

Finally got tired of dealing with spam mailing list registrations and had to turn on CAPTCHA on all of my Graycastle Press forms. Which I hate.

Y’all, this is from five minutes of petting, this isn’t even being brushed I live in a rising tide of #corgi hair

Practicing drawing mouse adventurers. There’s so many design decisions involved when making these little guys. Opting for a Jill Barklem Brambly Hedge style with little eyes and noses and soft edges, rather than a Bluth animated style.

Bath day for the corgis! There is dog hair EVERYWHERE

The fact that there are already over 20 #Etherscouts, all with their designations, is SO COOL! Can’t wait to get Waywright, the first game in the Etherscout Handbooks series out to everyone!

Husband reveal! 😂 Feel so lucky to have this man in my life and so proud to be able to go make our voices heard together. #NoKings

Pretty amazing turnout at the capitol today! #NoKings

“President Trump may think his rule is absolute, that his power is limitless. We are here to say that he is wrong, that there are no kings in America.”
