The original sprite for Princess Peach/Toadstool from Super Mario Bros on the NES.

Over a year late to the trend, but I randomly did a Princess Peach sprite redraw last night (including the mirrored dress skirt limitation)

Drawing of the build i used for most of my playthrough of hard mode. back weapons were too expensive, so i ended up going without. I don't know how many people check these and this is more text box than in replies so I'll put my review here: The generic enemy changes are just stats so they're not interesting, but most of the boss changes were added a good bit of challenge to them and the final boss had a complete overhaul from its very underwhelming state at launch. Some of them were misses, though, the fallen soldier boss in bottom path had far too much HP and the new attack just stalls out the fight for even longer than it is, which was an especially weak point. I did appreciate how the change to enemy defense led me to strategize more in terms of loadout — it has a lot of potential, I just don't know if Nitroplus will deliver on that with further balance changes in the future.

Baseline Worldbuilding Defining a baseline understanding when you're worldbuilding or writing an adventure.

Whilst Dispatch's success is 90% due to its character writing, it helps that a kitchen-sink Supers setting is a common enough baseline for most people nowadays

Mapping the Blogosphere An interactive graph of TTRPG blogs, showing who links to whom, how communities change over time, plus stats and how it all works.

Spent the last month mapping the blogosphere by its links. The graph is finally ready

Communities clump into a big hex and the whole thing looks like a star map

What are blogs anyway but stars in the sky?

I really don't like anything about D&D's alignment system, but I appreciate its power as a shorthand, and I'd love to do something that could work similarly, and this is a swing at that.

A single human skull lies on the overgrown floor. It has many faces, eyes, noses, repeating in a fractal pattern. From the cracks in the bone, a small fractal flower emerges. The water behind swirls in shimmering patterns.

A picture taken from the floor of a hospital room. In the foreground, a person lies on the floor. Behind its head, their spinal cord, brain and eyes tumble outside, appearing to slither like a snake.

In the far distance, way behind the mountains, a face that is too large to comprehend looks back at you, eyes wide open.

A large 747 aircraft flies low close to a runway on a foggy day. The plane is completely dilapidated, with a missing cockpit area, several large holes in the fuselage and destroyed motors. It is surrounded by a coat of black smoke.

If you like my work and want to make my day, I only ask that you share my art and stories with someone who might enjoy them :)
Or trick your gullible friend for a minute. That's also a good one.

A wheel shaped space station in bright yellow and black stripes. The text box proclaims it to be "Railhead Station" an asteroid belt boomtown.

Boundless Space art for you all today, as I can't share commission work, just yet.

I'm thinking about putting some bright holographic billboards around the asteroid belt's little boomtown station. What kind of far future amenities do you all think that Railhead should have on offer?

A wheel-shaped space station with a long spire/antenna coming out the top. The text box declares it to be "Railhead Station" for asteroid miners.

Everytime I go to make a small game, I feel like I've got to give you all some really decent art to look at.

-and then I end up drawing the individual windows on a space city. This is going to take a minute.

Good shit 👏😤

Rude Rude or impolite, including crude language and disrespectful comments, without constructive purpose. Highlighted Off, darkened Warn, and darkened Hide buttons.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.
