Man, your design sensibilities are one of my favorites in the industry. This is going to be straight fire.

I like the visual aspect of this. Do you tend to hunker down into one project or jump back and forth as your whims demand?
The layout and design structure are so dang clean. This looks fantastic.
Things that help exercise my patience into greater strength: Outlook's search feature, waiting behind the technologically illiterate masses at self-checkout at 2pm in Walmart, my desire to spend all my money collecting every neat thing I find.
Amen and amen.
Working on some free Shadowdark character sheets / folios. Check back soon!
God I had so much fun playing through this w/ my group. The way it’s built, you are just thrown into the wildest scenarios. Goofy at times and equally brutal if you let your guard down. Perfect for my pc, an arrogant weeb protected by a samurai spirit sent by hell as punishment. He hates this kid
THESE DARN SCRATCH DISKS - always filling up when I nest files in files!

To celebrate finishing the post-playtest revisions on Blades '68 ( 🎉 ), here's an homage to @johnharper.bsky.social's iconic cover in the style of Seymour Chwast / Push Pin Studios.
(this isn't the actual cover, just having fun)
Our society has transcended the old ways. Bring me more of this new high minded spam!
I had thought about getting into Obsidian to stay more organized than my 600+ Notes in iCloud. Do you like it?
Chocolate milk, a copy of Les Miserables, a Glock 45 that actually shoot bubbles
How do you collect and manage your new game ideas in a practical way? Or do you just keep an endless landfill of ideas to get to one day?
Describe yourself by putting 3 things on your desk. Go.
It’s like looking at the lawn I just mowed. The pinnacle of being a maker is just to make. How do you find yourself enjoying the fruits of your labors?
