Some freelance work from a little while back - revisiting the Beyond the Wall cover for Flatland Games. I have a bit soft spot for this client and their game. Always a treat.

A painting of a horned figure with a a spear and a wide decorated belt stood between two carved stones that form gate posts in a wall. In front of the figure are three adventurers looking like they’re getting ready to fight. Behind the figure is a tangled forest.

Day 222, random old school TTRPG art from random book: “Dungeon Adventures #7”, TSR 1987, Jim Holloway, page 15. #ttrpg #tabletoprpg #d&d #dnd #osr #ad&d #fantasyart #art #ttrpgcommunity #dndart #osrart #dungeon #fort

An armored adventurer with a conical helm looks up at the hilltop trading outpost he is headed to. A log palisade surrounds stone buildings, and smoke rises from a tall chimney.

not if it continues to advance and improve for another 1000 years could AI generate an idea I hate more than "kevin o'leary building the world's biggest data centre in a drought-prone region without consent from local Nations"

I was thrilled to talk with @newmadras.bsky.social a few days ago about Designers & Dragons: Origins for Rascal News.

Rascal News is paywalled, but well worth it if you're interested in keeping up on the news & trends of the industry. (I'm a subscriber!)

Rascal News @rascal.news · 20h

A mammoth sequel to the Designers & Dragons set of RPG histories, this new book from Shannon Appelcline and Evil Hat seems like it'll be a treasure trove of facts for fans of the first few decades of D&D.

Shannon Appelcline returns with a product-by-product history of the first decades of D&D

Designers & Dragons: Origins promises to be another essential reference.

Since I'm talking about this, does anybody need line editing or copy editing on their books or movement resources? I would love to help nurture your works about making change or understanding the current moment and its history. I've got 20 years of experience and I will never ever use "AI"/LLMs.

Sole of my 10+ year blundstones have finally given up the ghost. I'm bummed as I liked these boots because of the chisel toe. I think I have another pair in my closet, but I don't think they were chisel toe.

Remember kids, if your work ever requires you to buy footwear, bill them for ones you like

I fully expect him to legally change his name to Brad Brad Ford just so he can make the Ford bigger on his signs in hopes coattailing a better result.

Rather than just taking their L and minding their damned business, the Ford government is spending its time and resources redesigning 500 metres of one street in a single municipality. Loser behaviour for a Provincial government.

Ontario adding vehicle lane — but keeping bike lanes — on 500m stretch of Bloor

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them.

They should feel bad.
