I've been a bit lax on shouting about my stuff recently 🫣 SO did you know I'm on an indie TTRPG podcast called RWD? Where we play @evilhat.bsky.social's Scum and Villainy? And I play a hillbilly alcoholic pilot?

not to make this all about my own interests, but we NEED more people to discover audio dramas

not only do they rule, but they're probably one of the few entertainment mediums left that aren't mostly controlled by massive companies vulnerable to corruption/pressure

the most successful ADs are indie

The Amphora of Great Intelligence (AGI)

#webcomic #krita #miniFantasyTheater

A comic strip in four panels:

1. A bird's-eye view of a giant amphora the size of a building with closed eyes and a closed mouth engraved on it. Using scaffolding, a community of wizards climbed up and are throwing all their books into it, to fill its content.
> Wizards: All our grimoires for the Amphora of Great Intelligence!

2. A ground level view at the bottom of the giant amphora. This time, the wizards bring tree trunks, cut down nearby trees, and throw them into a large fire to boil the giant amphora.
> Wizards: All our forests for the Amphora of Great Intelligence!

3. A gathering of all the wizards below the imposing amphora which has now opened its glowing eyes and mouth slightly. The crowd of wizards at its feet applauds:
> Wizards: Amphora of Great Intelligence, our world is dying, share your knowledge with us!

4. Same shot, as the amphora responds with joyful and amused eyes. The wizards are confused by the answer...
> Artificial Intelligence: According to geologists, you should eat at least one small rock per day.
> Wizards: ... ... ...

Guess what?!

No, sadly not that. Rather, a new episode of my podcast is up. It's about "First Times" & is me trying to do a bit of storytelling.

Unrelated but I also promote the @deckofmanyaces.bsky.social Podcast on it, because I can :)
