Bold to assume there’ll be historians.

That picture seems representative, almost symbolic in a way, but the meaning eludes me.

Wim De Hert @wimdehert.dungeonalchemist.com · 7d

Update on the @sketch.com proportional #artboard scaling. They got back to me, and there's a fix that can be used at this point that does seem to work as intended. Including as a screenshot. 🙂

#sketch #resize

Wim De Hert @wimdehert.dungeonalchemist.com · 7d

Thanks, Brett, but that doesn't work, alas. You can see in your video that it's not scaling uniformly from the center as it did before. Also: you need to slightly distort first to be able to use that keyboard shortcut.

Wim De Hert @wimdehert.dungeonalchemist.com · 7d

@sketch.com This is where it breaks. It used to be possible to scale the artboard proportionally from the center, but no possible keyboard shortcut combination still work, and everything distorts in unexpected ways.

I’m on version 2025.2.4. ‘D Love to continue over DM, but your account won’t allow DM’s.

Wim De Hert @wimdehert.dungeonalchemist.com · 7d

I've been using your app for years, and a very strong supporter, but the new artboard resizing breaks the app entirely, @sketch.com. I don't know how this seemed like a good idea, but it's practically impossible now to resize an artboard without completely messing up the content.

Okay, let's have some fun in a thread. I realized that i had never actually put together the full reel for my stream overlays. If you're never seen my stream, this is what awaits you.

So, watch this, and then I'll break down how I made this all in Dungeon Alchemist, a compositor, and OBS.

If you don't know what @dungeonalchemist.com is, it's a fantastic map-making program designed for creating quick, beautiful maps for your TTRPGs.

So, naturally, one of the first things I did was choose not to use the program for its intended purpose, because that's how I am, apparently. 😅

I really enjoy that @dungeonalchemist.com builds an explorable 3D model, even though I use it primarily as a flat map in game. But it also makes for good visual handouts for the players.

A broken stone staircase leading up to the novice monk's dormitory, seen through and ornate arch.

The ruined monastery garden with dead trees, seen from the cloister, south of the chapel.

Front door of the ruined monastery, still intact.

Inside the runited chapel, a view of the high altar and transepts from the choir.

we keep getting these strange signals that are coming from the "Kuiper Belt" sometimes people sending S.O.S's or random advertisements for some station called "Mothers House"
