All sorts of fun things are piling up on the Patreon at this point - stories, mechanics to get your own chicken legged house, tools to homebrew your own monsters, NPCs (for use in any RPG, really), adventures...
✨And it's only gonna get better from here.

Are you fucking kidding me with this. And yes, it's real. Links in the thread.
Ukip have submitted a new logo and slogan to the Electoral Commission, swapping the £ pound sterling symbol for a cross, that looks very much like it is modelled on the Iron Cross used by Prussia & Germany 1871-1918 and Hitler's Nazi regime from 1933-45

Why the ‘save’ icon looks like it does.
Without revealing your actual age,what's something you remember that if you told a younger person they wouldn't understand?

While I have a long stubborn history of just lasting things out, this ain't it. The order of operations here has to be Everyone Leaves TwitX -> Companies have very little reason to be there -> Governments have even less reason to be there -> Only assholes remain - TwitX becomes a financial loss.
You used to see this "logic" with people who argued against blocking trolls. "If you block, they win!"
Win what? What are we fighting for? Are we actually believing the trolls here? "If you block me I win!" has the whiff of "I win times infinity" from an eight-year-old.

I am so sad about the creators comics has lost because either they realised the system was insane, or they tried to work with it and broke their bodies.
Comics is a beautiful, deeply creative, and often personal way of story telling, and I miss it - but I don't miss the system one bit.

This is a ridiculous way to run a business, which is why after I turn this book in I'm not doing it anymore! I can't spend the rest of my career arguing with editors about why I'm physically incapable of drawing ten comic pages a day.

This applies equally to comics and illustration. It also helps to avoid a massive power discrepency, which way too commonly results in problems.
Make friends, learn WITH them, build creativity together. Find a joy in the shared process that will keep you going when things are rough.

Just gonna say this again for games sphere cus we get the same question:
Networking doesn't mean schmoozing up to famous people, it means making friends with your peers. Then in 10 years, 20, one of you might be famous? And sure you're still helping each other cus well yeah friends.
Make. Friends.

Talking to one of these types at a con who asked how I 'got in' with so many 'famous writers' who I'd been talking to and I said "we made friends before anyone knew who we were decades ago by striking up interesting conversations and enjoying each other's company" and he kept re-asking the question.
