My End of Year video is on the "Golden Age of Indie RPGs," from roughly 2010 to 2025. I start with Apocalypse World's release, work through the Google+ Era, and follow design lineages and historical events that have impacted the hobby up through 2025.

I've been AFK from Bsky because I am, again, sniffling, sneezing, and generally having a very cold-filled December. 😅
However, I am still here and still working on Asher's Ridge and other than an excessively tickly nose all is well. :)
Belated holiday & New Year greetings to you all!

Someone blessed my stand at Dragonmeet with a teensy cute unicorn mini.
Whoever you are: It's now the first of my collection :)
(The very first time I found a little unicorn on my stand post-con, my son immediately adopted it as his own. This one is mine, though.)

Please enjoy the beauty of this granulating watercolour (with masking fluid splatter) as it dries.
It's Schmincke Horadam Aquarel "Nebel Indigo" and it is simply gorgeous.

The evolution of a painted portrait. Approx 90 min, limited palette (ultramarine blue, burnt sienna, titanium white and a hint of yellow ochre that I immediately hated and avoided after one try), oil on canvas board.
I would love to spend more time on this (but time was up so 🤷♀️)
