Strange to think I released my first ever #TTRPG book over 3 months ago!

In Death was a labour of love that I'm very proud of, and it's surreal it out there in the world and in the hands of players.

To any who've picked up a copy already, thank you and I hope you enjoy it.

Today in Night Owl X,

I started adding in talking animations for NPCs, which will come in tandem with some more complex idle animations to breathe a bit more life into the world.

Today in Night Owl X,

I spent some time working on the Barber Shop's "Secret Menu" - a slew of hidden hairstyles for players to try.

Ocarina of Time, 100%.
Though I did look forward to seeing the other save files on it the next time I took it out

It's been 20 years and I still don't know why they made him look like that.

Using @chaosium.bsky.social 's Basic Roleplaying System, In Death from @jacobdimwood.bsky.social finds a bridge between trad and story tabletop gaming as much as one between life and death. @jellyfishlines.itch.io explores these connections in his review:

Don't Fear The Reaper: Handling Mortality With 'In Death' TTRPG - The Fandomentals

Whether or not Death scares you or you're fascinated by it, the new TTRPG In Death is sure to spark some curiosity when playing in an afterlife.

Today in Night Owl X,

These dumb point pop ups took me WAY longer than they realistically should have.

This week in Night Owl X,

I made these little door prefabs for the two existing shops. One takes Nox to the Clipper Wings barber shop to choose new hairstyles, and the other to Hoot Cups coffee shop to purchase movement upgrades.

Digital illustration with a traditional appearance of purple and yellow-orange hues on canvas. The setting is Clocktown, from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. A low view of Link stepping away cautiously while looking up past the clocktower at the massive and menacing moon that will soon crash down on Termina.

Bring back weird, 2000s, teenage dirtbag, garage video games.

Bring me a game that would gladly have Sum 41 on the soundtrack.

Bring me a game that feels like an episode of Malcolm in the Middle.

BRING ME A TONY HAWK'S UNDERGROUND 3.
