WOW. The first book I've ever read. 6-year old me devouring those weird, green-sided pages, with all these great covers.

Goosebumps quite literally changed my life by making a reader out of me straight after having learnt how to read.
I still prefer the Italian name "Piccoli Brividi" though!

Small detail of a big, big cover. Almost there…

I mean, if you swap the Archdemon with Ajax and the Dark Spawn with the War Dogs, Origin's classic storyline structure would work wonders in Draw Steel... and I'm not a designer, I couldn't write it, but if only there were designers here...fans of DA:O... that could turn this dream into reality... 👀

For more traditionally good factions like the Harpers, I like when there are distinct currents in their midst. Do you stand with their diplomatic leader or the one more prone to violent amd decisive action?
A "Professor X and Magneto" situation if the latter wasn't a crazy murderer 😁

I like the open-endedness of certain factions. You can join them, destroy them, rival them, support them etc...

For example I like the Mages in Dragon Age: supporting or fighting them comes with a lot of nuance, and in no moment you as a player are told "these are the good" or "bad guys"

Why not??

20 years ago today, Shadow of the Colossus launched on PlayStation 2

I always get lost in her Nautiloid piece. All the details, the inventiveness, the cinematic perspective...peak, peak fantasy art.

Real lethality, real consequences, emerging gameplay: OSE is quickly becoming one of my favorite systems

Delving into this old school megadungeon.
Facing a band of goblin at level 1 was not a great idea. Two characters deaths in the first session - easily replaced, but we end up victorious and with a new goblin guide.

Best intro ever.

Until a few years ago it'd have been unthinkable for my 5e mind

Very interesting take. Particularly about art requiring a certain amount of embarassement when presented with due seriousness. Hades' pitch makes it very easy to jump on board VS for example with the wonky-serious premise of Shadow of The Colossus.
But the latter put the fear of god in my bones.

A refreshing answer after the disappointments of many directors in thr last few days

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

I fell hard for Mythic Bastionland this summer. Here's exactly how I prepped and ran it (plus a pile of resources). If you're asking "where do I start?", this is for you:

Undying icon! 🔴

It feels good to finish this project. Now on to playtesting these bad boys, as I’m lucky to be working with passionate designers.

It would be great to turn this into a real comic, one of these days. Only time will tell

Three meson-blades means there can only be one source of inspiration.
A red cyber jacket means there can be only one for that one too.

I wanted to portray how a high elf in space would definitely go crazy for futuristic fashion, ending up with a unique and creative blend of cyberpunk techwear, shiny sneakers and full-plate medieval armor.

“I’ve found the Upper ‘folds lacking in everything except fashion, ships…and blades”

The best sword in the Timescape. The best pilot across the Stars.
These and other legends travel wide about this mysterious alien from the Lower Worlds. And they are all true.

Here’s the last Rival to complete the Agents of UNISOL: Blaze, the high elf troubadour!

Draw Steel has such cool abilities and flavor that I felt compelled to build a character and write music for their abilities. Had a lot of fun doing this

Thanks to @teatherf.bsky.social for editing this peek into a real Draw Steel game.
The heroes get to know each other more and then...a chase under the moon! And a negotiation with the villain's right hand!

Throwback to 2023, when I was still an intern and I was doing Draw Steel fancomics while following the development of the game.
I eventually had to stop due to the game being literally too fluid to capture (remember multi-turn casting?)
Now game is out! Might turn AoU into an actual comic after all…
