I'm officially a dba!
We're working on a #indiegame #ttrpg called Somewhere Somewhen.
It's a setting agnostic system that enjoys the asymmetry of cards v. dice.
And I get to write settings for it!
And someday... #dimenovels

Brilliant marketing. I'm glad they're not competing in my sphere.
As some games use A/I to cut corners, we went the other way.
#InkInside is a hand-made blend of 2D, 3D & live-action with a heartfelt story & people, ESPECIALLY kids, are taking notice.
Our TikTok hit over 500,000 views this week!
Kids don’t want A/I

I feel this in my soul right now.
Not a webcomic, but the pain of keeping a #WIP to myself,
even though it's SO good,
but it's just not time.
I missed my first deadline 20 minutes ago.
I guess I'm a real publisher now.

UGHHH wanting to show WIPs of my webcomic inks because they're coming out SO GOOD right now but also. not yet. it's not time...
I need to redo my older pages now to adjust to the new inking style but 10/20 90% complete, and 12/20 inked... 20 is my threshold to announce it publicly... 👀

Share your knowledge if/when you can. Teaching other people how to do what you do doesn’t lessen your art - it just means more and better art for everyone.
I appreciate when people are willing to tell me about their brushes, how they study, etc… I want to put that back out into the world.

I've been working really hard and I snapped at Cortland today because I haven't seen his efforts or results.
This man is full of wisdom.

It does something that another system doesn't do woukd be the simplest answer
Obviously I'll get things based off of recommendations but I like trying games with mechanics and systems that are interesting and will fulfill an experience that is unique to its premise

Okay folks - #ttrpg question time!
What makes you buy a standalone game (like one which has it's own system)?
Whether it's cool stuff like screens, merch, weirdness, utility - whatever the reason, tell me, because I'm nebby,

I got a rejection letter once that said, "Sometimes it takes years to discover that you're unskilled at a craft. Consider your education accelerated."
I couldn't even be mad. So eloquent.
In retrospect, I'm a little mad. Mostly because not everyone can handle that kind of heat.
Discouragement bad

Although I do think experiencing this terrible advice made me a much better writer and editor so, you know, all's well that ends well, haha 💅

I might clear it. I'm not sure.
My mentor must have been having a slow day, because he emailed me a whole sentence.
