TTRPG peeps: what are the best sources of animated battle maps? Thank you!

Currently playing a Hogswatch-themed Discworld rpg, and I have given my character the most utterly terrible pseudo-AustroHungarian accent. Add in the large number of smutty comments she makes, and I don’t know why anyone ever agrees to play with me…

BlueSky! I’m looking for webcomic recs for my book club! Caveats: –MUST be free (or at least, a solid first chunk is free) –Must be properly online, not thru a library service (audience is in US & UK) –SF, fantasy, or horror for adults preferred, although other genres/YA considered

Happy Christmas. My gift to you is my on going free webcomic Terran omega. Sci-fi! Ghosts! A mystery! And some kids all alone! Read it here www.pauljholden.com/patreon.php?via=bs&campaign=xmas

Hi new friends! We make comics, and for the last year we’ve been making a smart, hella gay romcom about weddings, crime, and how shitty rich people can be. Check out the cover and full synopsis in the link, check the hashtag for a bunch of WIP stuff, and maybe give it a preorder?

Marc Warren as Teatime is genuinely one of the creepiest on screen villains ever. Absolutely perfect casting. Terrifies me every year without fail.

Actually if someone has a nice atmospheric shot of flooded modern city ruins / a subway especially that would also serve.

Last night my subconscious decided to gift me a dream in which Ben Shapiro was teaching me how to inoculate a tarantula. I have no idea what it was supposed to mean, but I was incredibly glad to wake up. I hadn’t even eaten any cheese!

Cooking with Monsters Book 3 out August 6! Hana and her friends are caught in the schemes of a pestle-wielding poacher with a grudge against Gourmand. Can they save the citizens and monsters alike from the plan she's cooked up? PRE-ORDER NOW! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/807165...

In case anyone ever wondered what it feels like to have received a deep tissue sports massage from a winner of Englands Strongest Woman, I am about to lay face down on my bed and cry until I (hopefully) pass out.

Hot damn, CRAWLSPACE is on the list too! Roll on 2026 🖤🖤🖤

Just a quick reminder that we’re making a whip-smart gay romcom about love, unusual crime, and hating weird billionaires and you should really preorder it

Finally got around to watching Sinners* and holy shit you were all right, what an absolutely superb movie. Outstanding. Going to be thinking about that for a while. *I’m a scaredy cat and have to watch horror with a trusted person, during the day

This also applies to writing, yo.

Less than 24hrs ago husband casually mentioned that a friend is thinking of running a Discworld one shot soon, and that they have a seat for me to play. I have just presented the DM with a fully fleshed out character, including backstory, family history, physical description and photo references…

Thank you for supporting an independent press. We can't wait to share your next favorite books from Stars and Sabers Publishing! From our families to yours, we wish you a jolly and safe holiday season and a happy new year!

On the rare occasions I need to plug a USB flash drive into a laptop, I immediately feel like a hacker from an early 2000s movie.

Yesterday we had friends over to play board games, and I cooked far too much food, and we laughed and joked all day, and it was glorious. I’m going to try and hold onto that feeling, because the world is a lot right now and I struggle. I hope you can spend time with someone you love this week.

Look what I got! Not the first thing I've ever written in prose, but the first one to come out!

Pneumonia has hit me hard. Over the past two months, I've lost almost $20k of work, and by the time we get to January, I'll only have three projects left. Editors/writers/artists/publishers: if you're staffing new projects over the coming months, PLEASE keep me in mind as your letterer 🙏

Question- does anyone have advice about how creators can better market their comics? My debut solo series with Dark Horse, Living Hell, came out as a trade paperback in July and I feel like barely anyone heard about it. I did a few interviews but it flew under the radar. Thoughts?

Hey, Master of Evil made the list! Thanks, @starwarsexplained.com!

Since we're talking about childhood racists, let me share something. My first direct experience of racism was in South London, age 5. Do not be shocked. In terms of age, it's about average for Black folks. I arrived at school and nobody was talking to me. I was one of two Black boys in our class.

Time for a book giveaway! Over at Goodreads, @torbooks.bsky.social Nightfire are giving away 100 (!) copies of my forthcoming SF horror novel CRAWLSPACE! US-only, ends 12/22/25, details at the link! www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...
