Hello? Are you receiving? I've been trying to get this announcement to you:

I'm coming back to streaming next week w/ an all-new visual style! To celebrate my return(+ my birthday!), I'll be doing daily streams from the 24th–28th including—

A brightly colored country map in the shape of a hand, featuring the fantasy land of Dracos

A series of floating islands, hovering above a storm gray sea

An area map featuring the rocky form of a fallen women. Her features make up the landscape.

A black and white map of a fantasy continent, shaped after a ceiling stain.

I'm opening up a couple commission slots for fantasy maps! DM or email if you're interested. Full color or B&W available!

I do indeed!!

My base rate is $150 B&W and $250 colored! That covers most standard maps!

To all my fellow period havers... if you are NOT on your period right now, please take a CONSCIOUS moment to enjoy this time. I always take this shit for granted. I LOVE not being on my period. (If you are on your period, I am so sorry. Stay strong)

And She Will Love You by Dylan Grinder, inspired by The Invitation by InCase. This image includes the whole one-page game, and a screen-readable PDF is available at heartheldgames.com/And_She_Will_Love_You-By_Dylan_Grinder.pdf

I wrote this game in response to recent censorship efforts as a way to push back against the idea that sexual art is shameful or inferior.

And She Will Love You is a one-page solo RPG about societal shame and the eldritch love of an ancient goddess. Do be sure to read the list of content warnings.

It's my current hyperfixation 👏

Someone asked me if Urban Shadows 2e is a good game. I told them it was good but it tends to go in circles.

I highly recommend this one! We played Hindsight on Really Playing Games a while back, and it's one of the best games we've had on the show.

Mad Max or Love Death + Robots

Twitch finally deleted all my highlights. I wasn't able to save everything. I had over 900 VODs (THOUSANDS of hours. 3-4 TB worth) across two channels to try and store. The stuff I did lose was absolutely gut wrenching. Did a big cry about it last night. Send good vibes. 😞

Cover art for Blood On My Name done by Dylan Grinder. A highly stylized picture of a hand reaching up with a knife pointing down, the point of the knife a small space away from the fingertip. The lighting is pure red with blue highlights. Along the blade is the title "Blood On My Name" in bold yellow text. The author names Kienna Shaw & Jason Cutrone are at the bottom in bold white text.

Oh this is very cool

Alternatively can someone write a found footage horror TTRPG?

Can I please have a found footage movie told through TikToks, Instagram Reels, Twitter and other social media posts? I'm begging.

(Catch me watching Cloverfield RN)

I heard it was a really small hamster but this makes more sense.

Woke up and was immediately taken by the spirit of inspiration so I spent my whole day making a submission for #tinyworldjam

REPORT 12-0A is a microsetting of bureaucratic horror inspired by games like Control and Apocalypse Keys, and LOCKDOWN is a Dialect backdrop centered on doomed personnel.

I'm going to read 100 books this year. I can't wait.
