Hey! I’m Eryk, I’ve finally caved into making a Bluesky account, and here’s a quick thread on what I’m up to: first, I’m a freelance graphic designer specialising in #ttrpg books

you can check out my portfolio over at eryk.zone (1/)

👉20,000 new members in a month
👉3,000 over conference weekend
👉2,000 in 24 hours after party political broadcast came out
👉Up by a third since @zackpolanski.bsky.social became leader

And honestly, this is just the start.

Yeah I think I'd travel to london the day before, mainly because the decent flights are all in the morning and fuuuuuck getting to heathrow for like 7am from leeds haha

Eryk ☭ (but make it Red Scare for Halloween) @peregrinecoast.press · 1d

Ha, heathrow on the outbound, luton on the inbound! I just hate flying so the thought of having to do the whole process twice in one day is deeply unpleasant

I would do my usual shenanigans of trying to take the train there but the proximity to christmas gives me the heebie jeebies about it being busy

Eryk ☭ (but make it Red Scare for Halloween) @peregrinecoast.press · 1d

folks who fly regularly: I wanna get to Belgrade in December. Am I better off getting to Manchester for a flight with a layover or getting the train to London for a direct flight? Basically takes the same amount of time either way

yeah but all of my indesign files are already in half letter and I don't wanna redesign this shit 😭

Eryk ☭ (but make it Red Scare for Halloween) @peregrinecoast.press · 1d

crashing out cos mothership month starts next week, I've been out of the running for a couple of weeks, and trying to find a decent mockup for a half letter staplebound zine is taking time away from finishing up my backerkit page

This is not a cry for help, the Sonos app just asked me to log into their account just so I could adjust the EQ on my speakers 😌

Eryk ☭ (but make it Red Scare for Halloween) @peregrinecoast.press · 2d

Really looking for the definitive edition!
Thematically is like Hideo Kojima was hit in the head with a Tales From the Loop/Things From the Flood picture book and fell unconscious in a Polish dinner.
Mechanically is what if Mothership and Into the Odd had a kid.

CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE!

Freshly left at my porch by the milkman comes @peregrinecoast.press's MILK BAR (Cut Your [Milk] Teeth Edition) a post-soviet Polish sci-fi game inspired by a bunch of books and games that are totally normal and not weird and disconcerting.
Pierogis not included.

Photograph of the cover of a zine titled MILK BAR. The cover looks as printed in yellow paper with blue ink. Subtitle says "post-soviet science fiction roleplaying in a Poland that never was". A game by Eryk Sawicki.
