i read PERSEPOLIS in a mall Borders as a preteen in 2003. it explained the war better than my school. some of it went over my head but much more did not, thanks to stark, clear cartooning that so effectively conveyed rage, compassion and a determination for justice. rest in peace, Marjane Satrapi.

I keep being reminded of this question and answer: "What is the problem that AI services are being built to solve?" "Wages."

Any time a creative turns to this tech, they are saying "I do not respect the people who do this thing. I do not value their creative contribution to my vision. I think they are so worthless, they can be replaced by the machine that ate their work." It's not surprising this is seen as hostile.

everyday the news is like "the government voted to bring back early industrialization smog standards" in between op-eds about "the surprising reason opponents of mass surveillance are changing their mind (hint: it's AI!)" and essays that go "are measles really that bad? we asked this billionaire."

“Tools are made of stone. They were when I was born, they are today, they will be when I die. We just simply don’t have replacements for most all the uses of stone.”

Figuring out the space I have in mind, for a #swordandsorcery buried #spaceship dungeon illustration… #osr #ttrpg

Definitely leads to a good place. #osr #ttrpg #illustration

good tweet

my early work as a 6 year-old went hard

It's a shame that "defend your culture" always means "hate strangers different from you" and never "enact anti-pollution laws so that you can go fishing with your grandkids the way your grandpa taught you."

And the woman did speak unto the hound, saying, What do you mean, normal men, and the hound answered the woman, saying, We are just innocent men. And great was her emotion

If you're in the market for an old-school type of painted illustration, maybe I'm your artist? These 4 pieces are gouache and/or watercolor on paper. I love making this kind of image.

Hi #PortfolioDay! I’m a #ttrpg hobbyist dabbling in #illustration, #map making, and #boardgame design.

My wife broke the metatarsal that connects to her pinky toe and we are uninsured. I'm trying to get the money together to visit an orthopedic specialist (and lyft rides) -- so I'm having a flash sale of my most BONE-CRUSHING games. (appreciate any support and reposts!)

I saw the best minds of my generation produce high quality content for startups that laid them off on a zoom call

I wrote up a diceless resolution system that uses only your hands! It is useful for RPGs played as you tromp through the woods with your kid. newschoolrevolution.com/diceless-res...

Hello old friends! interested in playing old school D&D solo? I made these sheets for that purpose! Overland & Dungeon sheets - both double sided. Comes with a laid campaign book to record hexes, NPCs notes. Built in bosses, quest, treasure generators - free perplexingruins.itch.io/solo-gaming-...

The RPG scene is a dozen knitting circles and community choir groups that don't entirely get along, but it also introduces me to incredible artists every day, so on balance I would recommend.

why do anything?

My daughter created her own little dungeon generator for her homebrew #osr #ttrpg game 😍❤️ My work is done.

Pine Marten patrol elements engage carrion shambler at close range. Watercolour. Work on third Gwelf book continues. More soon. Tally Ho.

Reducing human value to what we can be trained to do is straight up technofascism. Every fascism has its suhumans. To technofascists, humans are the subhumans.

Sorcerers do magic that's orange, Wizards do magic that's blue or green and Warlocks do magic that's purple, I'm sick of having to explain this to you.

unfinished projects are fiiiiiine society has brainwashed us into chasing utmost productivity every hour of our waking existence just be curious and have fun, man

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Honestly, the true catalyst in all of this is @n8hps.bsky.social. Nate's Haunted Almanac is my most prized RPG possession. When I got it years ago, it instilled a love of dungeons and adventures in all forms and sizes. www.patreon.com/hps

My wife is a saint. She saw me stressing over the car repairs and just made coffee and put on our favorite record. Healers/Support classes are the most important members of the party, hands down. #Grateful #Marriage #PartnerInCrime

I am humbled to have 1K followers… ❤️ Here’s to all those folks who appreciate my unfinished projects! 😅 #osr #ttrpg #drawing #maps #boardgames

Just released the 2nd version of my set of hex tiles based on paintings from The Met Collection. This version brings the number of tiles from 6 to 44 and includes bangers such as ocean tiles, making it usable to create real maps for the first time. jonasmerlin.itch.io/the-met-coll... #ttrpg #osr

Hi #PortfolioDay! I’m Philip Blyth, aka “nemoDreamer”, and among other things, I draw lil’ #ttrpg scenes.
