Your art is so awesome. I'm in the early stages of planning a trip to Seoul so that I can buy some originals from you to grace my home.

btw, thanks for making one of those astro animals a corgi. I'm a corgi owner and can recognize that silhouette from miles away. They're not great pets because of all the shedding, but they're cute!

Wait, really?

Yazeba's Bed and Breakfast by Possum Creek is the Origins Award winner for RPG Core Product! Congratulations to Jay, Ruby, Khyra, and everyone who came together to create this tabletop roleplaying game where there is truly a room for everyone!

Not yet abandoned BREAK!! Adventure 3: The Wishflower

You really are a wizard. I can't get my head around how strangely wistful that it's not all from an actual anime series. I love it.

I am inspired by this.

Publishers should make or commission tutorial videos for their RPGs. Exhibit A: youtu.be/mQVOY_R1Fmc?...

I keep making starship control panels that are meant to kill players. Not sure what's wrong with me.

Excellent book.

Grab your copy while it's still free!

I wonder if I could make a cool video out of an edited, lightly scripted solo session. It would all come down to music and SFX. And glowy visuals.

I was wrong about Daggerheart.

The visual design on this is quite nice!

I wonder why more people aren't using a custom URL for their Bluesky handle. I thought that was the coolest feature of this platform! 🤔

The consummate epicurean!

What AREN'T you storyboarding?!

There was one project in the RPG space where the final stretch goal was for the creator to buy themselves a sword. To just have. For themself. And that goal was reached. In a way, it was refreshingly honest. Better than a $10k threshold to unlock a ribbon bookmark that would cost 6 cents per book.

I drafted a legal argument against Wizards of the Coast - and you can too! WotC is trying to pull off a licensing clawback just two years after the OGL Debacle, and I figured out how to punch back.

How to kick WotC in the Deck. A story about challenging their bogus trademark pursuits and how to do it yourself!

Almost all the monsters in modern D&D have the problem of overexplanation. It's not just a buzzkill to read, it promotes pedantry.
