24 uninterrupted days of #drawlloween - my longest streak by far - and I missed today. Do I double up tomorrow or quit now? We shall see.

Massaging the DNC's message slightly left or right of center doesn't do much when the majority of traditional *and* social media is owned by right-wing weirdos who throw that message in the trash and replace it with IF YOU VOTE FOR A WOMAN IMMIGRANTS WILL EAT YOUR CAT

Surely deserving English language reprint? Must dig out this copy I have again. “I, Robot” by Isaac Asimov, art by Luis Bermejo who also drew “Heros the Spartan” for Eagle, who died in 2015 (tribute here downthetubes.net/in-memoriam-...)

SPINE is my first time using Mixam's print-on-demand option. It was easy to set up.

The pricing ($9.99) really is a steal. It's printed in color as a "reading book," uncoated paper, which is exactly what I wanted for a game that you mark up. And yet, it's still Mixam's usual great print quality.

interested in Spine by @backwardsttrpg.bsky.social, saw something that was a 1st for me: mixam on demand link.
got physical copy for $10 (a steal), creator doesn’t have to hold inventory, & I’ll get a better quality than I can print. Excited for potential this has for writers who don’t want to ship!

When I am reading close captions on the Brokenwood Mysteries, the note about the background music is usually two generic. 'Bright Music' does not express what I am hearing.

I'm struggling with bandwidth in life right now, so I am altering my #inktober art prompts. The new list of #postcardoraclejam #prompts are each a different challenge to make a visual table or oracle that would work with a #solorpg or a #ttrpg. These could be used for a future one-shot game.

#POSTCARDoraclejam
Every day...
Draw a small postcard sized visual table/oracle to use in a (solo) RPG game!

1 Crime scene*
2 d6 Local folks
3 Fancy chart*
4 Festival*
5 Cozy town/village*
6 Spooky place*
7 d6 Spooky folks
8 Point Crawl map
9 Inside*
10 Coin flips
11 d6 Food/drink
12 d6 Monsters/creatures
13 Dice drop
14 d6 Rip-off heroes/villains
15 Ship/craft*
16 d6 Ephemera
17 Resort/vacation*
18 d6 Intergalactic folks
19 d6 Rooms
20 d6 Family
21 Theater/arena*
22 d6 Books/documents
23 d6 Plants
24 d6 Tech
25 City/kingdom*
26 d6 Scoundrels
27 Road trip*
28 d6 Team/Band
29 d6 Magic items
30 Outpost/wastelands*
31 d6 Fancy folks

*Each table could have 6 items so you can roll a standard 6-sided dice on it, but it can be any number from a polyhedron dice (d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20). 6-sided dice (d6) are pretty common.

Played A MENDING by Shing Yin Khor this morning and WOW! That was fun, and now I'm itching to make things. Mapped it out digitally because I'm a ~perfectionist~ and will go back to sew it later! #AMending #solottrpgs #keepsakegames

(we can post our journeys right? lmk if I need to take this down!!)

A crude photo of a beautiful map. The fold lines of the paper are still present because I BOUGHT that shit, unfolded it on the floor, and took a photo so I could draw on it digitally. The saturation and contrast have been carefully tweaked for maximum map clarity. The map has an ornate border, a large compass at the top, and a cute series of hand drawn mountains, rivers, forests, and other landmarks. Two grey buttons are digitally drawn on the screen, as well as an incredibly difficult to see golden thread marking a winding path between them. For a small section on the far left, a purple dotted line accompanies the gold. A bright red diagonal slash is in the bottom right hand corner, marking where the journey almost ended.

yep I am writing a goofy comic book script today because I need to get paid and the people I'm working with need to get paid in order to survive under capitalism (and also it's fun) but yes we're living under fascism and I'm trying to do my part to fight back both of these things are true

People still got to go to the grocery store, take their kids to school, etc. They do these normal things while freaked out about the state of the country.

Gwen Snyder is undead @gwensnyder.bsky.social · 3d

A lot of people are pretty freaked out by the current political state of affairs and carrying on because they don't know what else to do, except out one foot in front of the other.

And I think a lot of Very Online folks mistake that for "normie" indifference
