Of course, the next stop for (Dee) Sanction is DriveThru stuff:

"...our current requirements for adding a new System Rules filter are:

Minimum 30 titles published by at least three separate publishers (i.e., not including the core rules publisher) for that system on DriveThruRPG."

Get writing! 😀
The evening's game session was cancelled, so I continued working on The Dee Sanction. Some new material written, some adventure stuff changed, and wrestling with some basic layout decisions that will likely escalate into an all-out brawl once I have a mix of art in hand. Presently using woodcuts.

Random choice of classic @allrolledup.bsky.social Thank You cards. I drew so many of these things and it was a lot of fun.

How will you know me at #Dragonmeet next weekend?

Well, I'll be on the @allrolledup.bsky.social stand, which starts at G1, near one of the walls.

And you will know me by my #CörkBord or corkboard (packed and ready for travel).

Late pledges remain open! 🔪🚓🐑🇸🇪

While randomly transferring old files from my previous desktop (stepped down a decade ago, but still holding a disturbing number of original files), I have found a pile of gaming stuff that never made it to the previous transfer. I may post some.

Today, the #PbtA game Farflung character sheet.

Six years ago the album cover for the first part of a trilogy is born. If you enjoy a dose of conceptual doom, check out ”Cavern deep”

I got a bit excited about the Age of Rebellion one-shot I've written, and got some custom Destiny Tokens printed for when I run it in person. 😅

Aspiring creators with artistic leanings! 🫣

Artist! Quote with your yellow art! 💛

(I love the various yellow images and only wish my efforts were even a fraction as good!)

Truly stunning rendering of a Zygon, one of my favourite underutilised villains.

Yes, they've "recently" had their moment in the spotlight with extended coverage, especially under Capaldi, but I want to see so much more.

A Zygon from Doctor Who.
I'd love to explore more creatures from that series.

I realise that sorting out my work area is a losing battle. I cleared a shelf previously occupied with scattered stationery, printer supplies and an old monitor, and managed to resettling the content of... a chair stacked with random books, plus stuff that had been clustered around my keyboard area.

In less than two weeks, I'll be at Dragonmeet, at ExCel, tired and confused at the @allrolledup.bsky.social stand.

We'll have the usual array of accessories, dice, games of all kinds, and a bunch of stuff with my name in it.

Please come by and say "Hello" with a 50-50 chance I won't recognise you.

You have 3 hours and 33 minutes left to grab the Deal of the Day at DriveThruRPG, which is the glorious Trilemma Adventures Compendium.

Fun fact: If you read about a gnome corpse/skeleton anywhere in this PDF/book, that's my character Golchak Grimface.

I'm enthralled by the great quality of the adventures that have sprung forth from The Raspy Raven organised competition.

Third Party Community Content Creation embraces all of Sanction, and I'm loving what's coming out of it.
