Two page spread of "Come Out From Your Grave". The art on the left is a spirit standing over a woman praying in front of a cross tombstone with candles on its base. The ghost is pointing as if giving directions. The Cosmere Roleplaying Game logo atop a starry background, next to mockups of the Stormlight and Mistborn world guides. A color cover illustration for the Little Wolves TTRPG with muted purples, blues, greens, yellows, and reds, with black line art. The title logo is done in a yellow stylized blackletter ambigram style that reads the same upside down and right-side up. The logo sits in front of a large red moon. The main focal point of the composition is a young werewolf with glowing eyes, running along with two wolves behind them. The werewolf is tangled in the vines emerging from the silhouetted trees that frame the composition. Along the edges of that frame, in four circular vignettes created by the branches and vines, there are cameos of the four queens of the game: the witch queen, the troll queen, the pumpkin queen, and the mermaid queen. A banner along the bottom of the cover reads “A realm of folk and fae from Dinoberry Press" Image 3: "The MCDM RPG" laid over a battle scene with heroes fighting against monsters using various weapons and abilities. (alt text originally from jnb.art, the cover artist) "The MCDM RPG" laid over a battle scene with heroes fighting against monsters using various weapons and abilities.

Check out this wonderful execution of 1 page TTRPG design: Journeyman by @fromniki.bsky.social.

It's a solo boxing RPG with a tight game loop, a beautiful layout, and a clear story that can be told in 1 hour or so.

Great submission to the @onepagerpgjam.bsky.social!

As a Digital Comics Specialist I thought I'd share a little behind the scenes for some of the process for digital comics production! A Thread🧵

As convenient as a phone or tablet is, it can make for a difficult time reading comics...

Found it! This model, I think, is called royalties against the first dollar. Thanks to @gamalhennessy.bsky.social when I asked him about a similar royalty payment structure. Please correct me if I'm wrong, Gamal!

Yeah it sucks! But I love this model you proposed. I'm gonna try using it in my next comic book project. Thank you for sharing!

I think finding more ways to pay royalties that are sustainable for both publishers and creators is definitely the way to go. Is there a name for the royalty model you are proposing?

🎃Chris @ctian.bsky.social · May 2
True. creators need to watch over for the costs that cut into royalties.

Got it makes sense from a publishers pov but I did the complete opposite and paid everyone good rates but made no profit, lost a big investment. But it was a risk I willingly took. Creators were happy, and we made a good book. So I'm happy with that. I like your royalty idea makes so much sense

🎃Chris @ctian.bsky.social · May 2
This exactly! So it's for the small advance type of publishers. Then your royalty model is something I would use!

🎃Chris @ctian.bsky.social · May 2
Oh sorry I talking about whether the small publisher(creator owned) pays for the creators work up front usually page rate. Because I know some small publishers don't even do that or just pay a tiny advance. Compare that to a publisher who pays a page rate up front.

Is this applying to the publishers who don't pay for artwork?
