Following! Looks great and I love the premise. Can't think of another game that has this Waterworld meets Tank Girl sort of vibe. Can't wait to see more.

Hey @thoughtpunks.com and friends, any good leads on layout software for students that don't have much experience? INDD, Scribus and Affinity have steep learning curves and only one is free. Any suggestions? I've suggested using vector design software as a viable alternative, but still looking.

I've got around 10 pages nearly finalised for Punch Card: CyAnAlog, one of the four #BorgedAgain adventures that #GNAW will release later this year for #CyBorg. Tons of art, tons of mayhem and some new mechanics in each of the four Borg compatible books. #MörkBorg #PirateBorg #VastGrimm #IndiettRPG

Big News! If you backed #BorgedAgain we are psyched that a new talent has joined the team. Sadly we had to say Adios to Children of the Data Crypt, but in doing so we have a big ol' welcome to Punch Card:CyAnAlog. Check your KS update for details. #GNAW #MörkBorg #Cy_Borg #PirateBorg #VastGrimm

Here is one of my design shortcuts, I just use little rectangles for spacing. Software tools are great if everything is the same size or shape, but I find it tedious when trying to align multiple elements, alternately I use a large shape within a shape, that works pretty well too.

Cat Claw Clism has gone to the printer for a test proof! #GNAW will have more exciting news in the coming days about #BorgedAgain! Four flavors of #Borg, #MörkBorg, #CyBorg, #PirateBorg, #VastGrimm flavors that your local preacher would call a sin, but taste them when no one is around.

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

Haven't been posting much here, but that doesn't mean things have slowed down in the studio. Some new art for #BorgedAgain Cat Claw Clism, and you can own some of the original art from this upcoming #MörkBorg adventure. Details soonish. Oh, and some flouresce.

rack of prints for an upcoming Mörk Borg adventure I wrote and illustrated.

Found some old pens. Cleaned 'em, got 'em working again. Decided to do a test drawing and one thing led to another and somehow ended up with this. Running #OrcBorg Tuesday and had #yelling and #orc #culture on my mind. #MörkBorg #OSR #ttRPG
