More busy work with my Laser cutter. More rewarding than a 3D print because it's like building a 3D puzzle out of 12x12 pieces of 3mm wood

Some fun on my laser cutter. Not sure when and where I will use the terrain, but it's there when needed.

We've made an update to the FiveEvil rulebook at DrivethruRPG. More typos squished, some extra utility features added.

You can own this smart and streamlined standalone horror game right now: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

When things go wrong in the community evil spirits can arise! As the #Maskwitches you must either prevent that happening or fight them off in the psychedelic world of Forgotten Doggerland.

Hey Humans!
I contributed a small section to this project. It was fun and allowed me to codify my ideas on how to create and run an action-adventure scenario. They even used a good image of me wearing my best wig in the promo.

I prefer the original Cubicle 7 dice. They had a better weight and were balanced better. They are also easier for me to read at a glance. My personal preference has always been easily readable dice without all the filigree and extraneous artwork around the numbers...I'm old

Lots of extraordinary writing done by some of the industry's best and brightest, and at least one clunker.

When you launch a Kickstarter and, before you even tirelessly promote it, you get three backers… that feels good.

I’m not going to say ‘better than any drug’ but honestly, it feels better than most drugs.

Art club: photography from The Burn by @malcolmcraig.bsky.social This book was a stretch goal for #Maskwitches, and reskins that game to allow you to play as the little spirits that live along the burn. I loved making these puppets and exploring the location.

A photo of the Wee Folk making their way along the burn. The wee folk are two freestanding handmade puppets. They’re dressed in layered, homemade looking tweedy clothes, with lots of belts and gondoliers of useful items. They have pointed ears and large hands. They’re wearing little converse style shoes. The bank of the burn is a pebble beach.
