Today is a great day to pick up our #ttrpg!

We described it as "Waterworld meets Treasure Planet".
People in the wild have described it as "Optimistic Dark Sun" and "Pirates of Dark Water's cousin".

I think all of those are at least a little right, but check it out for yourself and you tell me.

Seraph in the Gutterpunk Rhapsody campaign frame are hallowed mutants, gradually warped by Martyr's Blood into echoes of the abandoned gods. Their bodies begin transforming into wood, glass, or brass, losing more of themselves as they creep closer to the horrifyingly divine. #daggerheart

Anton is a great #ttrpg writer/all-around dude in a jam.

Let's get him some work!
antonkromoff.com Anton_The_Storyteller @antonkromoff.com · 2d
So I loathe having to do this with everyone else hurting right now but the repairs are going to be costly and I would rather earn if I can.

I’ve already had to pay for parts today but labor is going to be more so if you have any work, I’m real good at that.

A share would be rad as well.
Text that reads My wheelchair lift stopped working this evening. It's the thing that lets me get safely in and out of my home. It's also the only way I can get out quickly if there is an emergency. If anyone has any TTRPG design work, writing, sensitivity reading, anything extra that I could help pitch in on, it would help right now. Insurance does not cover these kinds of things.
