For any artists dealing with adult content bans, I want to encourage you to get involved in the sex worker rights movement. While illustration is not the same as sex work, we share many of the same struggles, and our fights will be stronger if we collaborate.

I can't figure out what the Karma sorting is based on, but yeah I didn't know you could sort submissions until yesterday myself

This is the first jam I've joined that had more than 1.5 pages of entries (232!!)

There were a lot of influences on my getting into ttrpg creation the year of COVID, but Runehammer was always the biggest "lit a fire under my ass" one of the bunch

As a fellow chaos gremlin, it's impossible to watch any of his art/design videos and not feel inspired to make something yourself!

I put one of his art live streams on whenever I'm feeling artist block.

I've never ended one without immediately pulling out art supplies

Instead of using little serotonin boosts from likes to power fake Internet points, power a piece of design you need a bunch of little morsels of (AND WRITE THEM DOWN IN YOUR ACTUAL DRAFT)

One like = 1 hex or playbook move or magic item or player ability or NPC or location.

I don't think so. I joined a few artist discords a while back but that one doesn't ring any bells

If anyone makes an AI avatar of me after I'm dead, I'm haunting the fuck out of you and everyone you've ever loved lol

And if they use it for some nightmare shit like a tv interview, I'll be waiting for you in the afterlife with the homies and it'll be *on sight*

For the weekend crowd!

Check out my new adventure for Cairn I made for the Appx N Jam, The Chained Colossus!

An evil cult has captured the Colossus that protected this region from demonic forces, and they're draining it's power to fuel their dark rituals.

Defeat the cultists!
Free the Colossus!
