This guy. New favourite NPC.

#BabySteps might be an absurdist masterpiece. I love it and it's breaking my heart.
I just have to scream right, and Jim will help me...?

Close up of Jim's face in an early cut scene. He is scrunching his face on one side reacting to a comment made by the player character, Nate. He wears something wrapped around the top of his head, and a heavy duty grey coat.

The Slots & Daggers demo is out on Steam!

So excited to finally see people play this weird little game I've been working on 🎰🖤⚔️

Here's a little trailer explaining how the game works, cause I want people to know what to expect:

No thoughts. Only scribble.

Test sheet playing with the new Procreate update. Really fun set of brushes.

An image full of scribbles and mini sketches using different digital brush types. The image is mainly black and white, with Phoenix written across it in pink.

I've listened to HOURS of APs (I love them so much), but I know in the moment it will be very different...

Less drawing this week (sadly) as my evenings have been devoted to Keeper planning (happily).
First time as any kind of GM. It's not my natural mode, but I'm super excited to introduce our group to Call of Cthulhu. hoping I have enough prep... and page markers, lolz (I know this won't save me!)

Image shows the top corner of a hardback book with many page markers of different colours sticking out of the top.

No comment on the gameplay (I am only watching someone else play), but the Silksong environment artists have really knocked it out the park. The world is beautiful.

Starter playing Lancer a couple of months ago. I have always been a huge Gundam nerd.
Here's my character: Devon Winters.

Not intended as a proper Everest design, heh, that would deserve it's own focus!

It’s not that Silksong is hard (though it definitely is).

It’s that it’s both hard AND sets up a deeply antagonistic and adversarial relationship with the player.

Jeff Tanton @jefftanton.bsky.social · Sep 10

I just don’t think any game requires this many flying enemies that hover slightly out of range as you jump towards them.

A view through a wide angle camera lens, it is focused on a round wooden table with an ouija board resting on it. Blood pools on the floor and across a rug in the background. It’s all totally normal and fine.
