Still have a few days to pick this up on discount!

Double points if the cover puffs out.

To be fair, she played Calypso and not Helen. Still... She burned up every second of her short screen time in that movie.

*Spends 10 minutes in inDesign and finally understands why style templates are so important to adhere to*

Per is great to work with! Very quick, takes notes well, and their final work is dripping with character and style! Hire Per!

If you're a Pistolheart fan, check out @soulmuppet.co.uk's Inevitable! This looks so damn cool.

This isn’t true, Hollywood is full of brilliant, talented, skillful people they don’t let make movies.

We're only £4.5K away from #DrawSteel Codex support 👀

Tony is one of the best to ever do it! Throw him a follow if you love awesome dungeon maps.

Mars Attacks 2 when?

Sadie is quite literally one of the very best in the biz. An absolute joy to collaborate with. This is such a huge compliment.❤️🐎

Finishing up the final touches on Pistolheart Volume 3's Tier 4 enemies before they go off to editing. Nasty... Nasty... Nasty stuff.

Everyone knows Hollywood is fucked, but most people don't actually know why. The studios used the strikes as cover to cancel a full 1/3rd of TV production across the board. 1/3 of TV cast & crew are out of work. Fully. There just aren't jobs for them. Many are people who made your favorite shows.

If you're playing Daggerheart online, this video gives some great resources and maybe also mentions some really cool supplements by really cool writers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IO54...

Look at this absolutely wild picture my stepmom took.

I don't think this business model works if you piss off every creative in the industry.

god I need to figure out how to get good at layout. not really for game design reasons- I do a lot of okayish layout in my other lives- but being around game design folks who are good at layout has made me aware of my deficiencies

Dinosaurs have entered Daggerheart. 🦖 The Heartbeat #2: Dinosaurs gives GMs a full prehistoric toolkit: Tier 1 one-shot race, 23 dinosaur and saurian adversaries, 5 environments, Saurian Ancestry, Lost Lands lore, taming tools, pet mechanics, and scaling tables for every tier. tinyurl.com/57umr5tr

"...and live off the rain and dirt." Woof!

It's true that the creative fields have some sort of glamor to them, which is amusing considering that I'm typing this, unshaven, in a bathrobe covered in cat hair. But I imagine in any field, having connections through family networks/reputation can be seen as an advantage, unfair or otherwise.

Friendly reminder that if you've read WHEN THE STARS BLEED, I'd love it if you could go leave a review! Reviews are essential for visibility for indie books. And if you haven't read it yet...what are you waiting for??? Available in hardcover, paperback, and ebook!

I think when all volumes are said and done, Pistolheart is gonna come in somewhere between 50,000 and 60,000 words.

I will add that this is why all the biggest shows on TV — The Pitt, Paradise, Pluribus — have lower and mid level writers in their room. A good showrunner knows a room with 5 Co-EPs and 1 SW is an ego-clash nightmare. You need to delegate at all levels and trust all levels otherwise you burn out.

I got to play #Daggerheart as a player for the first time ever with @carloscisco.bsky.social as our GM for a #Pistolheart playtest. I had such a good time! Not having the pressure of planning anything and just showing up with a crazy idea was great. As was a full party of Infernis. #Fearless

Neon Odyssey is a space opera inspired by Star Wars and Cowboy Bebop with synthwave vibes

If you haven't already, you can preorder TAZGN7 at theadventurezonecomic.com - or ask your local library to order/ reserve a copy! We're gonna be able to talk about preorder bonuses later this month, I'm super excited. It's only because of reader support that we were able to make all 7-- thank you!!

more secrets of earlier TAZGN books!! some eagle-eyed tumblr readers may have spotted the static scene intrusion when books 5 & 6 came out, but I'm still really pleased with it as a narrative device so you have to look at it again!

W/slightly modified alt.

Neon Odyssey. Draw Steel. Triangle Agency. Correlation is not causation but these three kickstarters did gang busters and they all have 1 thing (likely several but I am making an uninformed goof, not doing research) in common.

Still an all time visual gag.

So who has the good good printer, is making home made Pistolheart cards, and wants to send some to me? I have no idea how to go about making them (beyond just printing them on paper.) I know some folks have tricks to making custom cards.

Pro tip: Always be happy for the successes of friends, colleagues and peers. Moments of recognition in any creative field are few and far between, and worth celebrating when they happen. Also, you don't want to look like a seethingly envious dickhead.

The Blacksmith's Guild is crowdfunding their 7th issue! Back it to support the #1 Draw Steel pro zine!

This week I released a new Daggerheart-compatible campaign frame - hear all about it on this stream: youtu.be/-Md03fWrzGs

So I gotta say... the most salient piece of advice I've gotten lately that has more than proved out is when @mattcolville.bsky.social said "the best way to sell your thing is to make a second thing." The video below is directly responsible for me taking that leap. www.youtube.com/watch?v=emdk...

If you like what I'm putting down, how I'm supporting the product, and since you're probably headed back for a download anyway... why not leave a nice review like this kind (and very intelligent) man?

Pistolheart has its own VTT tokens and custom condition rings made by @satelitesnaturales.bsky.social from @coveofmadness.bsky.social's art! These rule so hard!

One of my favorite pieces of player facing design that I’ve ever written.

Looks like @hellomcdm.bsky.social is looking for a token artist for the Draw Steel Codex www.workwithindies.com/careers/mcdm...

Proud to be the 104th backer 😎 on @BackerKit Crowdfunding for Guns Blazing! - A gunslinger class for Draw Steel! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/5...

Bastion of Hope's retail launch is just one day away! I'll be streaming a launch party on Wednesday to talk about the frame, show off some art and mechanics, and do some giveaways! Wed April 28th, 2pm EDT at twitch.tv/turbotango

I might be a little biased but I think Willy’s The Purpose of Monsters section in Draw Steel is such an important contribution to the fantasy role playing design space and I’m super excited to see it called out here! Can’t wait to listen to the whole ep

The next issue of #Daggerheart Deconstructed is out and this time, I'm talking about the average-breaking, stone-making, shot-taking Gorgon! I love talking about Adversaries, but let @henrydtamble.bsky.social and I know if these are useful to you! www.daggerheartdispatch.com/deconstructe...
