Oh, and the best thing is you do not have to actually have a character named Hudson for him to have a bay! People will dig into details until you have a whole fan page dedicated to what the home world of this alien must be like after he was named one time by a main character.

I find reading historical documents is a great resource for different cultural toponyms, picking sounds and ideas from centuries of people doing exactly what we do for fiction today. It's usually practical or someone's name. Hill Country. Big River. Black Forest. Hudson Bay.

The community was what made it enjoyable. I still see usernames I recognize out in the wild sometimes. Then the site got worse, people moved, and we dare not speak of it now. I wish we could have something like the old pages back. It's probably not profitable just with bandwidth and storage costs.

Sorry for your loss, man.

With the colors it reminds me of close fitted stones or stained glass.

Sharing the first time is harder but it gets more exciting with repetition, or at the very least less stressful pushing the big post/share button. When friends give me stuff to read, I usually fixate on technical issues and how it "feels" to read it, like if it's good or undercooked pasta.

Dungeons & Doggos?

Every time scheduling claims another group, the CR gets higher.

Exobottom does not sound the same. It's like a Pokémon that rides around in the big back part of its shell like a sled. You can do other bug puns. Elytrafied electric field. Thoraxic Park. A big bug boss that works out called the Abdominator. Entomological conundrums.

Hang in there. It is good to see communities come together to support each other in these times, but I wish it did not have to come to that.

You could put little notes in things to help relieve stress from your future self. "Sorry it wasn't found right away. Insert specific reminder of funny thing that happened that week or a sketch that makes you laugh."

Hmm. That feels like a challenge. haha. I do not usually have exact dates but I can feel events/memories for different times of year. I remember watching all of Endzone and Law of Talos over Thanksgiving break (quite a bit after you). Did he post around that time of year a lot or something?

That is a very sweet picture with some soft texture shading. It does not feel like those events should be that long ago, holy cow. Do you have the date marked and circled on your calendar or a handy way to remember this day in November?

I can see those cover influences from album art. A nostalgic look.

Happy Halloween! I hope you have a very spooky day, and do try to stay warm. :)

I like the implied story with the guardian figures. It is more effective with a doubting narrator than telling it outright.

In the grim darkness of the 41st millennium, there is only Flash and Doom. The tech priest uncovers an ancient relic that says: "This copy of windows is not genuine." He does not know how to disable the cookies the machine demands.

If I ever make an app or a website, I want it to be able to run on any toaster in the world so that people can actually use it. I'm talking playing Doom on a fast food menu or on an exercise bike kind of universal application. Like Flash, if it worked more often.

Thanks. I am aware they will not see it at corporate, but their LLM junk produces worse results for the vast majority of content on their service. It also takes longer to load and eats up tons of user operating power (referring to all their LLM stuff so far). It makes the site unusable after long.

Like, that's pretty rad, dude.

Far too relatable. On paper that most businesses will accept you have no experience, despite the obvious work and dedication you have to put in with freelancing to afford food and shelter. A concerning number of people don't realize that "artist" is a job at all. Sorry you have to deal with that.

The three main goals of a channel would be access to game resources, quick news updates, and a way to connect with the community. To my fellow #RPG creators and players, have dedicated game discord channels been a positive experience for you? Are they helpful? Ambivalent? Let me know. 2/2

I'm considering making a discord channel for people who want to follow along with news on Cynder and our other books/projects at Lamplighter. That would involve more time investment and moderation, but it would be cool to have our resources all in one place for the community. 1/2

It is a shame to see it go. I understand the practical reasons for not producing/shipping physical stuff, but it also leaves us less to associate with people. You can find an old cover and get nostalgic. You can't do that with a thumbnail for something that might vanish someday.

I have seen those albums on my dad's shelf too. I miss the old cover art for music, movies and games that was strong enough to turn into posters. :)

Setting the mood with music in your #RPG can really highlight those epic moments of peril and glory. #GMs, what music do you use at your gaming table? I have a healthy catalog of video game scores saved for more adventures and boss fights than I will probably ever get to use. :)

We're gonna need a bigger scarecrow.

This weekend the combat tests in Cynder open for everyone to run at home unguided. We need more feedback and for that we need to make it easier for more people to get into the game. Come join us and give it a try! :)

Throwing in a recommendation for Metal Slug Tactics. A run is usually pretty short and the characters all have distinctive stylized designs.

Attacks in Cynder don't miss. They go straight to dealing damage, which in most cases is a simple ATK - DEF check. That makes combat fast and very dangerous when you don't have that much more MP than the monsters. Think ahead, work with your team, and knock out the bad guys before they do it to you.
