Like, I know nothing about Yearnings, and we should probably change that…

AtLA MtG has me excited and sad all at once. I don’t _want_ to throw money at WotC. But somehow I know I will.

I really am enjoying the last 4 Wheel of Time books. I’m only about 1/4 into A Memory of Light, but I can tell I’m going to love this ending unless something changes significantly.

Zuzu LOVES playing fetch with hair ties.

It’s true. She’ll do this pretty much endlessly unless she hears the sound of dinner.

Friends, who do I need to see at PAX Unplugged next month?
Will you be there? Should we hang out? Or talk about collab? Or both?

Will Munn @ Adept Icarus 🔜 PAXU @adepticarus.com · 10d

Oof. Relatable content for sure.

Will Munn @ Adept Icarus 🔜 PAXU @adepticarus.com · 10d

That is a viiiiiibe.

I sit in the shower and ponder

I had to start keeping my phone near the shower just in case!

Sleep. My brain sometimes just will not shut up when I lay down in the dark. It decides that is the perfect time for ideas.

I can relate! Learning to take notes at the time has been key for me.

Will Munn @ Adept Icarus 🔜 PAXU @adepticarus.com · 11d

What’s your favorite brainstorming technique (or other way of coming up with ideas)?
It’s ok if the answer is as simple as “I take a shower.”

As is customary, I'll kick us off. I'm Aaron and I love focusing on non-Eurocentric art that's mythic and titanic among other things!

A digital illustration of a massive divine dragon with purple and gold coloration. The massive beast flies over a mountain city with floating islands all around. As it turns in the sky its wings trail through clouds. The creature has a thick almost gorilla like body and stripes like a tiger but made of something like gold that seems to flow beneath its skin.

An image of a woman in a blue dress seated upon a throne with moon symbols on it looking down imperiously. She is surrounded by stones, gnarled trees and a stone circle behind her head. Her hair moves as though it's being blown by a strong wind or moved by ocean currents. Her dress flows into a waterfall that turns into a pool that flows into the foreground.

A digital painting of a busy fantasy street with architecture that draws from both feudal era Japan and modern Venice. This is not a canal street however. It’s a long tiled street/plaza with multiple levels where people are not just at the ground level but walking on the roofs of buildings as if they too were streets. At ground level there are trees providing shade as well as places to sit and people hustling and bustling about. There are several ramps throughout for wheelchairs but they’re too steep to roll up. Instead there are clear lines that indicate magic that pulls wheelchair users up the ramps without them needing to use any effort. And you can see figures in wheelchairs on this street as well. The tiled ground is clean and polished to shine so slight reflections are visible and there’s a feeling of openness joy ad lightness in the space. A large golden fountain statue of a woman with a stylus and a bowl pouring water into a basin takes center stage in the space.

A trio of characters seen on the deck of an airship. A woman in white with a black belt and reddish black undergarments stands with a boat oar over her shoulder, a compass in hand and looking to the left, her black/blue/purple hair blowing in the breeze. A buff man in a gray shirt and dark pants sits crouched on a clearly unsafe back part of the ship with a rake as a weapon. A woman stands on the back part of the ship under the mast and magical sail in a patchwork outfit with broken chains dangling from her wrist. Blue glowing crystals can be seen keeping the ship aloft.

The game book Drink My Sweat. The cover shows a woman in shorts and a torn jacket with her back to us. She looks tough.

That still covers at least 80% of all publishers.

But to answer the question, The Wildsea.

I think it covers more than 80% 🥺

Oof. I mean, I can somewhat relate. But oooooffff.

What’s an indie ttrpg you own (digital or physical) that you really want to play but haven’t had a chance??

I’ll define indie for this purpose as: not made by a company with 3 or more full-time staff members.
