My favorite of the set, failwife occultist for the Sunfall Cycle and the raven shopkeep who barfs gold coins :3

A tall olive-skinned woman with short white hair standing with a derby cane and pulling a gilded skull from her wide sleeves. She is wearing several layers of elaborate robes, with rich reds and teals and gold accents. She is also wearing a sacrificial dagger and a chatelaine on a gold chain across her hips.

Apologies for the self-promo but I'm running a hard times sale on all of my paid games (at very reasonable prices!!) at the moment and I'd love it if folks checked it out.
There's cavemen, pirates, promethean sky whales and-of course-giant robots!

One HUNDRED per cent. I think I’d be disappointed if I ever ran or played in a campaign in which at least one party member didn’t find a new rat friend.

Stylistic consistency? Who’s she? Never heard of her.

These are brilliant. Love your style and adore these characters’ designs…

Is that first one a hodag…?

Fricking gross. Glad I never ran into that the one time I delved into the deep waters of Kickstarter (with @tinstargames.bsky.social holding my hand the whole time)

Damn, I guess they forgot to turn their body cameras off before breaking out the violent brutality…

Is it true that this production ended up with AI generated images in it?

Into the Weird Blue Yonder @weirdblueyonder.bsky.social · 5d

I’ve only ever heard of it happening on instagram. A platform where it has NEVER worked as intended…

How can you tell?

Currently at:
— only buy tech too old to have AI built in
— painstakingly disable AI every time they add it to something that used to work perfectly well
— if it can't be switched off, abandon the platform or tool
— if there are no good alternatives, avoid the AI parts
— patiently wait for the crash

Oh, they still had those when I was a kid! I can only ever remember finding Futurama and The Simpsons in a supermarket though, so kind of a completely different game…

Into the Weird Blue Yonder @weirdblueyonder.bsky.social · 6d

Ohh now this one, I do take exception to haha

I could just never get into that ‘run to the comic shop each release day to find out what happens next’ culture.

But a (sort-of (almost)) self-contained TPB story beckoning me from a dusty library shelf…?
That’s my kind of childhood magic.

Maybe we’ll have to go back to the good ol days of everybody having their own personal blog and folks posting comments on them…
I don’t how many people like blogs these days, but it is feeling like social media will always disappoint us. Every single. Time.

I can’t believe this needs to be said, but being bad at roleplaying does NOT make you a bad person.
Trust me, it’s true. Tell your friends.

Personally I have to heap some praise on @julzieposts.bsky.social for her super-cute, super-innovative game about precariously stacking dice and experiencing a day in the stress-filled life of a tiny dog:

So I can submit a… blank page? To be honest most writers would find that pretty scary

Into the Weird Blue Yonder @weirdblueyonder.bsky.social · 8d

Wow. These look incredible. The chiaroscuro (I don’t even know if it’s the right word but it’s sort of close) is super nice in the way it highlights the forms and also the drama.

When I see an aeroplane that looks almost exactly like a pigeon I think “well that’s clearly just an aesthetic choice”.

But when I see an aeroplane with great toned legs and rollerskates, I think “well it COULD be a practical design I don’t know I’m not an engineer bro”

That’s one hell of a coincidence, but I’m still stuck on the fact that you crit failed and yet still rolled a 28…
