Listening to people say D&D has no negative bearing on the indie creative space at large has me tweaking.

This is a creative monopoly unlike anything seen before or ever. I have a list of marketing outreach channels where 95 out of a 100 contacts exclusively cover D&D/OSR (D&D adjacent)...

"A website that catalogues the fonts used in video games.
Fuck, it's genius... why didn't I think of that...!"

Highly recommend: throwing any and all creatives a DM/comment/email to let them know how their work touched you, whether now or in the past.

I never expect a reply. But doing this regularly not only helps others see their art is valued, but improves your own confidence & connection.

A tarot card depicting 'The Chariot' - art is monochromatic and features a wheel on fire.

I have the Catacombs End deck and I love its chariot card!

You know that kind review you left for an indie game on itch?

The creator read it and it meant the world to them. And they will go on to make more cool stuff because you took the time to say something positive.

Being nice is cool. Keep it up.

You Will Die In This Place by Shrike Studio - Gamefound You Will Die In This Place is a nihilistic survival-horror dungeon crawl TTRPG about exile, decay, and the inevitability of death.

Oh, right, this goes live today. I should probably say something.

Two days until the monster jam for Liminal Horror opens!

A game, with the following rules text (1/2): Hello. My name is coffee. This is an anti-game called PALADIN. Here is how you play – you will need nine six-sided dice (d6), something to write with, and something with which to store notes. Upon finishing this anti-game, burn this document. For the entire time you are playing PALADIN, you cannot look at or otherwise attempt to procure a new copy of this game. Internalize all of the rules - write them down, if you must. But burn this game. In PALADIN, you are lost amidst the kingdom of Carbaros. It is a snowy waste, sparsely populated, and filled with ghosts. You are a PALADIN, a scribe-saint. You have a governing philosophy, something that you carry inside your head no matter what: The Kingdom Will Live Again With My Words. Here is how you play PALADIN. As a scribe-saint, your job is to not only record the comings and goings of the villages of Carberos, but also to travel to each village on foot. At the beginning of each round of PALADIN, roll nine d6. If you rolled at least six sixes, you find a suitable place to write down what you encountered during your travels. Otherwise, you do not find anything and begin a new round of PALADIN. If you encounter a village, roll nine d6. If you rolled at least six sixes, you encountered a village while travelling. Otherwise, you found shelter amidst another dirt hill piled amongst trash. Do not write anything down.

Rules text (2/2): Then, roll nine d6. If you rolled at least six sixes, then there were at most nine people in the village you talked to. Otherwise, it was unpopulated, abandoned, or destroyed by disease – do not write anything down. If there are people in the village, roll nine d6. If you rolled at least six sixes, the people there are actually alive and not phantom apparitions conjured by your brain. Otherwise, you are annoyed by the trickery of the ghosts – do not write anything down. If the people in the village are alive, roll nine d6. If you rolled at least six sixes, the people in the village will talk to you instead of attacking you with stones and farm implements. Otherwise, you are chased out of the village – do not write anything down. Once you have written six entries, you find the King of your Kingdom and deliver him your works. At that time, the King will name you. Then, end the game.

Who wants to make something weird?

For my sanity I'm dedicating next week's work hours to art, so if you want to grab a sketch slot, I will be gnawing at my queue very soon ✍️

Remember, Tolkien didn't start working on "The Hobbit" until he was 41 years old. It started as tales for his children that took over 4 years to complete, and he finally published it at the age of 45.

It is never too late to start working on something that truly calls to you.

Embrace your passion.
