This usually starts with a full read of the manuscript to get a feel for what they're going for and follow-up, if needed, ahead of a full edit. (2/2)

Mikey Day can tell when you if it's cake, and when you will die.
This is a good perspective on the orders of magnitude in the TTRPG publishing industry, and by and large positions us correctly at the bottom-most named tier (while acknowledging that there's a broad swath of indie designers further down). cannibalhalflinggaming.com/2026/02/11/f...

That unlocks a core memory. My parents had one like that. My grandparents had the earlier version where the hours and minutes were on little rotating cards.

Feels like a good day to remind everyone that there's tons of human-made public domain art available for free. Perfect for TTRPGs and board games!
Where can you find it?
Right here!

No shade to those who haven't, but I beg you, please don't sign on for royalty payment deals without an up-front advance payment made against those royalties. Looking at the whole field, many projects never "earn out". Advances give you *something* even in that case, otherwise, you worked for free.

What is your favorite regional dish?
Three hours of game, with one or two hours of socializing when playing with friends. Doesn't matter if it's in-person or online.
A four-hour block at a convention.
We've watched six of the seven Jurassic Park and Jurassic World movies over the past two weeks.
Jurassic World Rebirth is one of the better films in the series. Solidly in the middle of the pack.
Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom is the worst, with Jurassic World Dominion coming in at #6.
Neopets are MDC creatures?
I have a copy. Pure mellow and cozy.

The first solo game of my 2026 journey is The Balsam Lake Unmurders by @paulczege.bsky.social
A friend of mine—who is also a gamer and bog witch—works for the FBI, so this will be a fun one to tell them about once I've finished my play session.
2026 is my year of Solo games. I backed I Have Lived A Thousand Lives on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/201... and you should, too, so @alexrineh.art can continue to create great games and help me play even more this year.
My current favorite Tetris-like, Drop Duchy, combines features from other genres I enjoy: rogue like, deck building, resource management, and puzzle battler. Yet, what I like about it makes it too much to be anywhere near a pure tetris experience.
Solo But Not Alone 6 is live.
Get the games, so many the games, give money charity yay! mental health so important, help people help people.
