You hear it screaming across the sky, the familiar song of your rival's machine of war.
You ready yourself, and sing to your own.

99% of rpg zines and books should have page numbers.

And that's just the start. There's actually a lot of technique and intentionality behind things like page numbers, running headers, etc.

Let me know what you think!

Bluesky continues to be a a super dope environment. Really reminds me of hanging out in art class, everyone hyping up each other's cool ideas and sick drawings. Glad to be here, glad you're digging the work, excited to keep seeing where it goes 💚

The design principle behind Jotun isn't to reinvent the mecha ttrpg wheel. Instead, I'm setting out to make a really solid wheel; something for mecha fans who want their robots fast, deadly, and more than a little ludicrous. #mecha #ttrpg #morkborg #digitalart #gundam #armoredcore #osr #robot

This platform is so cool, because I'm posting my mech art with fingers crossed thinking "I hope this reaches the mecha homies out there," and it just DOES. Then you're getting hyped about it, and I'm hyped that YOU'RE hyped. Kudos bluesky, you're all right. #mecha #gunpla #gundam #armoredcore #robot

Super robots? Real robots? Jotun asks, why not both?
Have your cake AND your other cake with Jotun's mech customization rules, which strive to give players & GMs a wide berth of creative freedom without compromising mechanical depth or flavor #mecha #gunpla #gundam #armoredcore #robot #osr #morkborg

Just to put it out there for the public record, none of the robots in Jotun are made by a robot. All 185 pages, so far, have either been written/drawn/designed/layout'd (laid out?) by my human meat brain. Even double checking that any assets used from elsewhere are human made. All my homies hate AI

There's a rumor (started by me) that we reach a certain level of preorders for Castle Automatic, a print run for a revised Shrine of Fortitude might be in the cards. Or maybe a GM screen!

BOUNDLESS SPACE: I wasn't happy with my earlier image of the inhabitants of the Belt, it didn't really get across the diversity of humanity in this imagined future. Human is the ability to relate to other humans, not your shape or genetic origin.

So I redrew it with more folks.

Delving my portable hard drive from 2013 to find something to put on while I work, and I found something I've oft cited as being a good model.

It is more incomplete than I thought it was, but I will acquiesce Mark Tygart did some very good work setting up the framework to build off of in usage.
