Latest completed cartoon homage from my 50 Years in the Dungeon show. This one is based on the cover for RiverBank, the upcoming cozy TTRPG from Kobold Press created by @kijjohnson.bsky.social

This isn't healthy. We're just monkeys with driver's licenses and it's not right that we should have to go through all this. When absolutely everyone is traumatized, the problem isn't us, it's the system we live in. Which we all know. But with this in mind, I'm offline for a few days. Be kind.

The deck covered with leaves—
Didn't I sweep it yesterday?
And the day before?

...and what better time to mention that I am writing a NEW GAME! This uses my Haphazardry game system (as RiverBank did), and it's for Kobold Press again. I will post details and progress on my Patreon, for people who want inside news.

After allowing myself to chase the rabbit for half the evening, time to get the fuck off the computer. The rest of tonight will be be spent with the Ladies of Llangollen, for there is no surer antitoxin.

I like that you could put the kids in the one wing, lock the door, and never see them again.

Years since the last time I read Gilgamesh. What the hell was I waiting for? That's right, Sophus Heller's searing translation. #booklog

Touch grass.
Touch bark.
Touch fir needles.
Touch the fallen feather.
Touch the heart-shaped leaves on the unflowering lilac.
Keep going.
