Oh, right. New arrivals:
Around the parts of Bluesky I frequent, it's mostly settled that we're not doing generative AI as it now exists in TTRPGs, and if you want to argue with that, you'll mostly get yelled at, made fun of, and blocked, by various people.
So, pick that battle at your own risk.

Kevin Costner's 1990s post-apocalypse movies don't get nearly the love they deserve, and I think it's because they both approach the idea of a post apocalypse differently than we're conditioned to accept. Waterworld and The Postman were both fine post-apocalypse movies. It's just that one was...1/3

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

This is not a painting. It is made entirely of wood, its surface flat. A detail from the 15th-century "Studiolo Gubbio", one of the finest examples of intarsia, the masterful art of fitting together pieces of wood to make images: publicdomainreview.org/essay/e...

I love the minimal approach here with chess pawns especially. It's easy and I agree that the impact of putting a fully painted mini down after mostly fighting green pawns is powerful visual design.

#NightTideMag's December Monthly Macabre is PRE-CODE HORROR!
It challenged censorship, moral panic, & taboo desire. It also weaponized difference; often villainizing disabled, queer, & racialized bodies. It’s a DEEPLY complicated era worth reexamining.

I will still be working on personal creative projects, but at my own pace.

So after visiting Finland and getting some editing for older recordings done, I am considering tackling the #TTRPG scene in Nordic countries. Which is a challenge because there is sooo much. Any advice on where to start, particularly Sweden and Finland? (I have some leads for Norway/Denmark/Iceland)
