I suppose I should do "marketing".

I wrote a neat little book of prompts (kinda like the ones I keep putting here).

If you enjoy having a book of worldbuilding and writing prompts, you can snag it for like $12US or $4 if you like ebooks.

Man. Would be cool to live in a country that invested in the humanities rather than doubling down on perpetual inhumanity.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

We've got 3 and my youngest was born a year ago (I was 38) so I'm running up on 40 as she's turning 2, and yep... exactly what you said - I'm surviving but holy shit it would have been a lot easier on my body in my 20s. Career-wise, I'm able to provide a much better life for them now, however.

I make my favorite games in hopes that maybe you've got room in your heart for new favorites, too.

Eternal Skies @eternalskiestcg.bsky.social · 6d

Indie games are kind of like low budget cult classic films, where you aren't really competing for the same audience as the big boys, but you ARE competing against the people who would fall in love with your work just going back and repeatedly experiencing old favorites.

Harassing the mods into banning someone has never worked. And harassing people in general has never changed their mind.

In an effort to be more annoying, I will be posting daily about my editing services, because I need the work and YOU need someone else to read over your writing.

I'm open for projects of virtually any size and budget. For fun, let's also discuss the three main kinds of editing I can provide.

The final game on my #SoloSept journey was Tick Tack Tombs by @axiomdelver.bsky.social, with assets by @alderdoodle.bsky.social.

It's incredible how much punch a two-spread can pack!

In this ever-dehumanizing, anti-arts world, I implore you to please go out of your way to support artists!

- Be it $ (even $1 mo means something to us!)
- verbal support
- sharing / re-posting

it's as crucial as "shopping local". Don't like my work - all good! Find an artist you do like, support!!

Oblivion³ @oblivioncubed.bsky.social · 10d

You'd also be supporting just a really cool person, so there's art, ttrpg stuff, and cool person. What more could you want!?

Perplexing Ruins @perplexingruins.bsky.social · 10d

People tend to know me for old school art i guess, but I love Science Fantasy too and try to make neat pieces available to my patrons!

I think I work pretty hard and offer a good value - my work has been used in quite a few publications - you can support me here!

It's been less than a year and the US has goose-stepped all the way to "we're just going to commit war crimes now". So that's fun. This trajectory is great, and definitely not cause for concern about the fact that there's 3 more goddamn years of this (if they still get elections in 3 years).

Oblivion³ @oblivioncubed.bsky.social · 10d

We ordered this and watched it with our 7yo and 4yo and they loved it. They've seen some of the other Wonka remakes and such, but a week later they're still talking about this one.

Encouraged by @devenrue.com some years ago I started to create a world hopping cartographer NPC of my own inspired by her tiefling Rue. Today I present Yendar the Cartographer.

I already love him!

And there's a few fun easter eggs on this guy I adore. he's been to I think all of my worlds.

A Black elf stands confidently and clad in blue, white and brown clothes with a dark grey cloak with silver accents. His hair is cut short and his ears are very long. In his hand is a staff with 3 orbs at the head and a string of similar orange beads coming down off of it. He stands on a sepia toned map of my own creation as well.
