Hire Evlyn at extra rates this winter and keep a good artist making good 👆
I was so close to make earning my income with RPGs sustainable until everything everywhere went worse. 😔
But this combined with the extra cost of living alone, things are really not looking good for me. 🙁
So frustrating… I was handling things well for a while.

Instead of drawing and making MÖRK BORG releases, I’ve spent a LOT of stressful time dealing with bullshit distributors in the US. WOGD, ofc, but before that; Brandfox. They currently owe us tens of thousands of dollars that they never had any claim to (basically stole from us). Honestly fuck them.
Long read: For around one year, indie publisher Plus One Exp operated as a business unit within a shipping and warehousing company called Brandfox. They worked with Possum Creek Games, Stockholm Kartell, among others. It was disastrous for almost everyone involved.

Decided to spend valuable time putting most of my BORG-related products on the floor and taking a picture of them. I miss some items that are in my storage unit (or that I just lost) but this is most of it. A bunch of cool stuff in this pile, honestly.

So people-centered adventure design is how I approach gming games and writing adventures. I am currently running Mythic Bastionland for my home game and I find that taking a person-centered approach really works ground components of the mythical setting. What does this look like? 1/4 #osr

Leaving your comfort zone and exploring new creative expressions is the best way to grow as an artist, I feel. Right now I am completely lost and have no idea what I'm doing, but I know that in a couple of days, I'll get the hang of this and after that, I will have leveled up as a designer.

Early this year, we lost Jennell Jacquays. To just say that she was a TTRPG and video game designer would be doing her contributions a disservice, but that was my main intersection with her legacy. I want talk about why, historically, her work was such a blessing to dungeon design🧵

MÖRK BORG is a game about corrupt and incompetent royal despots and doomsday cult leaders ruling their powerless subjects with religious persecution, excessive violence and apocalyptic fearmongering. The sea is boiling and the end is near but no one seems to care. Needless to say, this is political.
