Highlighting some of the stunning birds we see in #Australia.
Most of these I see locally and in most suburbs depending on how green the suburb is, most towns are habitat friendly for birds with only the rarer birds found in more outer region locations.

I'm still so excited to have my first book in my hands.
I gotta think about what I'm putting on the sketch cover.
I can't wait for the rest of the shipment to arrive!

That's amazing, congratulations!

I just threw another three bags on the floor and am now at max capacity. 😅

This is an amazing and very comprehensive list that I'd recommend folks check out, starting with @forta-ver.bsky.social who is not only a fantastic player, but also an incredible artist!

Ahh that's so sweet of you, thank you 🥰 Also, I really hope we can play together again in the future, that would be awesome!

"Oh boy, I really need to clean out this pantry" I say, as I throw another box and several recyclable shopping bags on the shelf. #adhd

Awww yeah! I've paid my editor (The amazing @daydreamcomix.com ) and paid the first half of my artist partner's rates (The Inimitable @jennyodioart.bsky.social !) and that means The N.E.T.W.O.R.K. Man: Genesis is officially in production!

Thank yoouu ❤️

So exciting!

Congratulations! 🎉👏

Thank you ❤️🤩

*overwhelmed in the best, most positive way ❤️

Wow, I'm beyond chuffed! Thank you @tabletopartsfund.org I'm absolutely overwhelmed by the judges comments, and am very appreciative of this opportunity, and the support you're giving to game designers. 🤩❤️

Promotional graphic for Source of Dreams, a tabletop RPG by Sekayi Edwards of Hidden Quest Therapy. The background is parchment-textured with a red and navy border. At the top, the title appears in bold navy text, with the creator’s name and studio beneath it. Two images are featured side by side: On the left: a top-down photo of a tabletop playtest session. The table is covered with laminated cards, colored hex tiles forming a map, a clipboard with paper and pencil, dice, and reference sheets. The materials are neatly arranged, suggesting a structured and collaborative game environment. On the right: a color photo of Sekayi Edwards smiling warmly, standing in front of a white background with a leafy plant behind him. He has a shaved head, a full beard, and wears a dark shirt with a pendant.

Source of Dreams by Sekayi Edwards is a divinatory storytelling TTRPG that blends introspection with reflective practice. Players journey across an allegorical hex map, using narrative prompts rooted in psychology and personal growth to explore the path toward a meaningful life goal.

Promotional graphic for Runecycle, a tabletop RPG by Hiski Huovila. The background is parchment-textured with red and navy borders. The game title appears at the top in bold navy text, with the creator’s name beneath it. Two images are shown side by side: On the left: the Runecycle cover art. A surreal, minimalist landscape features tall, stone-like monoliths set in a desert beneath a pale sun or moon. Concentric runic circles overlay the structure, with the title RUNECYCLE centered across them. A tiny figure stands in the foreground, emphasizing the scale and mystery of the setting. On the right: a close-up photo of Hiski Huovila wearing a khaki hat labeled “Designer.” Colorful sticky notes are taped to the top, with one reading “GAME,” forming a playful DIY crown. Only the person’s eyes and the top of their face are visible.

Runecycle by @hiskih.fi blends OSR minimalism with modern narrative design, casting the player as the wielder of a Rune. This fragment of creation can defy fate -- use it to explore Monumnents in search of a way to break the cycle in this fast, melancholic journey inspired by GRIS and Neva.

Promotional graphic for Why We Fight, a tabletop RPG by Laurie Blake of Stop, Drop and Roll Games. The background features a parchment texture with bold navy and red framing. The title appears at the top in all-caps navy text, with the creator’s name and studio listed below. Two images are featured side by side: On the left: the cover art for Why We Fight. It shows a determined woman with braided hair drawing a bow against a backdrop of city skyline and helicopters. Her stance is focused and fierce, evoking resistance and survival. The title is rendered in a distressed white font. On the right: a photo of three smiling individuals standing in front of a booth for “Pugs in Mugs.” One has bright blue hair, one has long red hair, and one is bald with a goatee. All three wear lanyards and appear to be at a convention, radiating joy and camaraderie.

Why we fight by @laurieblake.bsky.social is a game about resistance, memory, and radical hope. You play partisans fighting fascism—not with brute force alone, but through solidarity, sacrifice, and care. Advance not by violence, but by building bonds strong enough to carry a revolution.

Our inaugural TTRPG Developer Grants brought in 138 submissions from 16 countries. We'll let you know who the judges selected tomorrow -- but first, here's look at who applied.

This is heartbreaking. 💔😞

It's literally so much fun, and so heartwarming

Blue Beetle was incredible! I can't believe it took me this long to get around to watching it.

Yess! The soundtrack is so good. 🤩

I'm rewatching Ghost Rider and all I can think about is how I want to watch Spawn instead. 😂

Spawn is top tier, and I'll always be obsessed.
