Hi, new folks! I'm Sadie, a TTRPG writer, designer, project lead, and editor. I've been fortunate to work on unforgettable projects with some of the most incredible people. Aside from playing TTRPGs, I like gaming, drawing, and baking.

See more at www.sadielowry.com/work. It's lovely to meet you. 💖

Amber Litke, @laura-hirsb.bsky.social, and @wildrosemage.bsky.social have saved me from myself more times than I can count.

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is one of the greatest games I've played. I wanted to show my love for the game and did so in the only way I knew I could, by learning how to make baguettes!

I'm going to be turning this one over in my brain for a while. So much to chew on. 💖

We've taught him very well, it seems.

2 hours later and he's sleeping on the dice again 😭 I don't know why he's doing it but it's SO cute

Fenris has settled on my dice like a dragon on their board, desperately hoping someone will run a D&D game for him. Who wants to DM for him??

Fenris lays on Sadie's dice and gives her big puppy eyes

Fenris lays next to Sadie's dice, one paw over the bag

Fenris snoozes on the dice, both paws on the bags.

I used to hate the smudge tool, but now I love it. It took me a while to figure out which settings were just right for a perfect blurred edge!

I don't gatekeep, so I made a free smudge brush set! I've been using it in all my recent art. Grab it here: links.loish.net

I was laughing so hard I was crying & said, "You know what? For the AUDACITY, and for typing all that out, I'll let you have it. You can take your turn." and the table cheered.

I interrupted them after her turn and everyone said went "yeah, ok, fair." 😂

It was very silly and fun. The end. 3/3

I laughed and said, "I'm not?" and she joked, "I actually have an ability that says that when you do that, I can spend MY Fear to stop you." I said, "I'm going to need to see that card," and she said, "I'll show you right now!" Then she typed this out in the r20 chat while we were laughing. 2/3

A message in roll20 that says "if the dm says they're going to interrupt your hope spree, you can say no and spend your own fear to do so and continue winning"

Story from a Daggerheart boss fight:
My players had been rolling with Fear for most of the fight. They finally hit a streak of rolling with Hope, and after a bit, I said, "I'm gonna spend a Fear to interrupt this streak and take the spotlight," and one player immediately said, "No, you're not." 1/3
