I don't think I've ever posted these. A commission I did a few years back.

Does it means that old time investors were good?

Ha ha ha, FUCK NO.

They just didn't had the power to destroy the social contract in the ways they have now. Marx was right about them, they just switched the top hat for the baseball cap and refused to finish their studies.
It's time we stop calling "investors" people that dump billions into clearly stupid or impossible enterprises, and start calling them what they really are: GAMBLERS.

Investor has a patina of respectability and know how that the current capitalist class clearly doesn't have.

How to write a d20 table:
1. write 30 entries
2. either cut the ten weakest entries or add 6 more to make a d66 table
3. profit

New Review - The Electrum Archive!

Checking in on the Dungeon Boys again.
They are, as usual, getting up to strange tomfoolery.

“bsky is boring!”

1) good
2) social media should not be a cornerstone of your everyday entertainment
3) I find new artists to follow every day and look at pretty art endlessly on here when I feel like it
4) get a tactile hobby where you create something with your hands
5) read book
6) walk outside

Just wrapped up writing the Bestiary for DURF Expanded!
It ended up with over 160 different monsters, some of which were suggested by the community!

Filled with a healthy dread at the prospect of having to illustrate this lot ✨

You can pre-order the book here:

Time to get in on this, only a short time to go! DURF is a fantastic game, and the expanded version looks like it's going to be AMAZING!
DURF Expanded just hit another stretch goal: the bestiary will get 50 more monsters! 🔥

If you back the project you get to tell me what kind of beasties you would love to see in this expansion! :)

Found some old drawings from around 2012 while cleaning up my home office. I haven't done any comics since I did these in high school, so they were a fun find :)
