Re-upping this for International Women's Day.

I'm still open for writing or layout work for the spring or summer quarters.

I also have a website now:

Pauly Walnuts very seriously telling someone that “it’s called Broad daylight because women light up the world”

It’s a panel from powerup comics where the text has been edited:

“what’s your opinion on women’s day

as far as I’m concerned, all days are for women”

Watching Clerks, but it’s on the Criterion Channel so it’s classy

I remember reading some golden age outlaw comic books that had a big disclaimer at the top of every page that said OBEY THE LAW.

Thinking about that again for no reason

Have you checked out the newly revamped version of The Dreaded and the Deep?

This caltrop core game is a play-to-lose nautical horror game about becoming obsessed with the sea. As the call of the sea becomes irresistible, how long can your crew survive?

Have you checked out the new version of Orphans! yet? Polished up for the zine edition, with more kid-friendly and new-to-TTRPGs-friendly instructions.

If you like A Series of Unfortunate Events or The Mysterious Benedict Society, you'll love Orphans!

People usually treat the dynamic of "guy who wants so so badly to kill for another person but the other person is also the only one keeping them from killing" as a romantic dynamic, or at least an angsty reformed villain situation, but it is also the precise dynamic between Sam Vimes and his butler

Speaking of bundles: the No ICE in Minnesota bundle has only a little over a week left! Let's see if we can reach the next goal of $700,000!

Your body is a temple, and you shouldn't share it with someone who plays mono blue.

And third, I think having well-written trad game modules fills a lot of this purpose in games that would need it. Modules are fun and designers should make them for their games!

Secondly, plenty of combats don’t! There are games that are more resistant to larger/smaller/weaker/stronger groups in combat, and there are games that eschew “balance” entirely—games that intentionally have no opinion on whether a party ends up as a smear on the ground

I think there’s a few sides to this. First, I actually think that certain well-designed “rules lite” games require storytelling from the GM, but not what I’d describe as game design (certainly not in any mucking about with numbers or mechanics sense).

Homebrew and house rules are game design, and you should do them only if you like game design. You should never be required to do so, and you always have the potential to do bad game design, especially if you have never or only rarely played the game you’re trying to design for.

And for many people, a much smaller cognitive load than “hit us with your improv set”

I understand that it's always difficult to get approval for a comic character to be queer, but Dani Moonstar is literally gay in her one major multimedia appearance, and I have to imagine that the amount of heterosexual Moonstar fans number in, say, the dozens

The Beatbox
Pattern 12KBPM
Technically repurposed DJ equipment, a beatbox looks more at home at the battle of the bands than the battle against the interlopers, but never underestimate the value of good morale! While fragile, its cassete based munitions offer incredible support utility!

The Boomwagon
Pattern C44U
The fuse systems for mechtech is notoriously volatile, where even non-combat machines are likely to blow out components at a momentw notice. Taking cues from the Trenchy operative of yesteryear, the Boomwagon is specced to improve its performance by blowing its own fuses.

Well, if I’m gonna be telling everyone Cyberrars In Space is a mech game and asking for mechsploitation fic for the contest, I should probably introduce y’all to the mechs! Hold up, I had some tech specs in here….
All mechs of course come up with fully modular internals and a bio-linked control rig!

I think the only take on Magma that worked was in the Abnett and Lanning run where she fails to get a job at Applebees, and then later takes The Devil from The Bible on a date at the same Applebees

I think the best way to make Magma work in an X-Men comic (short of replacing her entirely with the version from X-Men Evolution) is to lean into the fact that she's kind of a fail(grand)daughter who sucks
