Gotta love @jpcoovert.bsky.social ❤️. Thanks for shouting out all the Mausritter Month projects!!! And sheesh, I really love Valley of the Flowers, excited for part two. I endorse this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOF5...

Barebones Cairn might be the perfect rpg. I like to fill in the blanks myself.

Mausritter Month is live on BackerKit! 🐭 A rules-light RPG where you play brave little mice—featuring a new setting (Junk City) + new works from 15 different creators! www.backerkit.com/c/collection... @exaltedfuneral.bsky.social @gamesomnivorous.bsky.social @losing.games

🐭 Mausritter Month 🐭 Today, featuring M. Allen Hall @mallenhall.com The Baron's Grip. A campaign setting for Mausritter where the antagonist is one big bad badger - the Baron of course - with a taste for tyranny. Player mice must set out to in search of allies to free the land from its influence.

The Junk City map will be my magnum opus.

A bunch of process images/rough sketches from illustrations and maps I’ve been working for THE BARON’S GRIP by @mallenhall.com . Launch is tomorrow!! Follow along! I’m so excited to see all these Mausritter Month projects burst onto the scene. www.backerkit.com/c/collection...

🐭 Mausritter Month 🐭 Today, featuring Diogo Barros @masterconspirator.bsky.social Soul Food. A darkly humorous setting for Mausritter where the culinary and art worlds collide! Mice will explore a 'provençal-style' kitchen and face its denizens, including a lobster chilling in a slow-burning pot.

I'm *THRILLED* about how THE BARON'S GRIP is coming along. Working on the art for is incredible, the book is packed with imagination. @mallenhall.com is a hell of a writer and game designer. www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti... #Mausritter #OSR #MausritterMonth #sandbox #adventure #ttrpg

🐭 Mausritter Month 🐭 Today, featuring Matthew's @manarampmatt.bsky.social and Hugh's @hlashbrooke.bsky.social The Rolling Coast. A new campaign setting for Mausritter centred on an amusement park. This time with people and children running amok among the mice! "Redwall meets Rollercoaster Tycoon."

Back 2 back zine fests these past two weekends!! Richmond Zine Fest, and Charlottesville Zine Fest!

My latest effort is SKETCH BOOKERS, an advice zine about keeping a sketchbook—making it part of your life and creative practice. I have a lot of experience with this. Download and check it out for free on my itch page! jamie-douglas.itch.io/sketch-bookers

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.

We went to see Scream at the Byrd last night. It's awesome that they have comfy new seats, and the balcony is open. The theater was packed, great energy.

OSR News Roundup is live. Check it out for an overview of last week's OSR and indie #ttrpg releases. It was a bit of a slow week, but there's still some great stuff to check out! www.sabregamesandcards.com/post/osr-new... #osr #indiegame

I have bought two books published by Peow 2 recently: "Mold Mold Mold" and "Magic Mayhem Metal." Both excellent art books, beautiful, I love them dearly. But they smell insane. What is this ink? What kind of paper is this? I have never smelled books that smell like this. Still great tho!

Packed up some boxes tonight 🌒🌒 Should be shipping out tomorrow

My piece on display at The Camel through Halloween as part of their spooky/weird art show with 30~ish artists. Handmade frame with wood, clay, hot glue cast in plumber’s putty molds, spray paint, air dry clay, highlighter ink and water in vinyl tubing, and a lil plastic skeleton.

Sabre Games is a small flgs in Charlottesville, Virginia, and we're looking to expand our selection of indie titles, both for retail and wholesale distribution. We currently distribute for a couple of smaller companies (chiefly Leyline Press) and want to expand. #ttrpg #dnd #indiegames

I'm working on art and maps for THE BARON'S GRIP, a sandbox adventure for Mausritter Month by @mallenhall.com !! Follow the project on backerkit here: Get Ready for The Baron's Grip: A Campaign for Mausritter share.google/RnGfX7TDPwC8...

I've been so busy this summer that I haven't had time to read blogs 😭

Mark your calendars!

I was listening to the Vintage RPG podcast today, which in turn led me into listening to DEVO, My Chemical Romance, and The Weird Lord Slough Feg (because I also listened to their old Erol Otus interview, and he did an album cover). Devo and MCR are definitely outside my normal wheelhouse.

Next is Exton by @zinesfrombelow.bsky.social ! This is a cool little setting to be used with Cairn

Here are a bunch of process sketches/work from the creation of my Appendix N. Jam entry. I like to do things analog! #AppendixNJam #AppxN #osr

I read some adventures and a bestiary from @lemosfran.bsky.social for other systems and they were pure gold! Very creative, funny, and great art! If you like #Mausritter, keep this one in mind! #OSR #NSR #TTRG

I agree. Had to pick up a copy of this, and it's great. I haven't painted or kitbashed minis much at all, but I collect little bits and think about it a lot. Mold³ and their contemporaries like SlugWizard and Gardens of Hectate, all doing crazily inspiring stuff.

I really like FAR. More great work by @n8hps.bsky.social . Would definitely run/play this. natetreme.itch.io/far

I have REALLY enjoyed season six of Blogs On Tape. Thanks for all the hard work, Nick LS Whelan!! @linkskywalker.bsky.social

Did a bit of work on my #dungeon23 www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6fRbdWK/

GET IT!!

THE MOUNTAIN OF POWAAAAHH! ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Sold out!

jamie-douglas.itch.io/twisting-old... I had a lot of fun making this adventure for the Appendix N. Jam. Keeping an adventure to x4, A5 pages is... very hard for me =).

I want to thank everybody who participated in the Appx. N Jam! It was amazing seeing all the creativity in the community! Check out the 233(!) submissions. If you're looking for some #retro #pulpfantasy #osr one-shots you are COVERED. itch.io/jam/appx-n-j...

How's everybody's Appendix N Jam entry coming?? I have started over 2.5 times, but I am really getting somewhere now 😄.

Making a better version of the dungeon generator dungeongen-d5ez.vercel.app

Figuring out how to screen print! I've printed a lot before (2.5 years of day job), but never burned screens all by myself before! First project was these post cards. I made a little cardboard template to do the stamp-and-address guides on the back. #illustration #printmaking

A couple pages from the SKETCHBOOK ARCHIVES. www.patreon.com/posts/sketch... I had intended to do these free sketchbook archive posts at least once a week... I have forgotten for 3 months :\

Biiiig 'ol website update just dropped: www.jamie-douglas.com I'm so bad at remembering to update, I had A LOT to add and rearrange. #illustration #fantasyart #cartooning

I got to see Lynda Barry give a talk the other night. Isn't she great???

In collaboration with @losing.games and @exaltedfuneral.bsky.social we are doing a Mausritter Month this November on BackerKit. A chance for Mausritter's amazing community of third-party creators to showcase their work and launch projects side-by-side.

In a new-ish bookshop on Northside (ILYSM Books), I scored a book of New Yorker cartoons and illustrations from their first 25 years--1925 to 1950. Some of the humor escapes me, but all of the drawings are incredible. This one by O.Soglow still rings true.

Anyway

new litter of homonculi hatched 🥹

My efforts to find illustration work in RPGs have petered out at the moment--luckily, because I have some other freelance jobs. Freelance work comes from odd, unpredictable places, and I have to take it when I can. Right now I'm... : 1/4

Cleaning up a little town map that the #solodark gang came across #shadowdark #dndmap #illustration

How nice to get an email about new stuff in the Cairn store, including of my zines--alongside so much cool stuff!! store.cairnrpg.com/collections/...

"Nay, I wasn't never asleep! Didn't see NUTHIN' out o' the ordinary. Nobody came er went from the hall, nor f' the bog. Why're you askin', en wot of it then? 'Oo are ye, anyway!??"
