I love them! I decided to go all in on the shiny and it was obviously the right choice. I might make everything shiny from now on, but maybe this just turned me into a dragon.

First WGG playtesting event went great! Playtesting games with cats, dragons, AND babies!

I had a playtesting meetup before I moved, but haven’t since but it was good to get into the habit of updating things on a more regular basis. Plus, great insights happened! Excited for the next one.

I was using excel… I just never use it on mobile, so I wanted to try something else. Excel is probably my go-to more than it should be.

What kinds of things would appear in the likely causes column for you?

My art flex is, that I can draw backgrounds from imagination

Digital art of original characters Aran and Tao in an early morning in their kitchen. Aran sits on the table with his notebook and a cup of coffee, and a tired Tao hugs him from behind

Digital art of three pre teen girls in a bedroom chilling together, reading magazine, laughing. They are surrounded by childhood clutter, magazine and late 1990s toys

Digital art of original character Aran with his three friends Jaden, Eric and Marina sitting in a diner booth sharing drinks

There's a certain kind of ideologue who wants you to believe the public education system is "in the grip" of school teachers. That educators control nearly every aspect of not just schools but the government.

They are liars and weirdos. They are lying to you and are very weird about democracy.

The teacher pay penalty continues to grow.

Public school teachers are paid only 73 cents for every dollar paid to similar college graduates

Was instinctively driven to draw a goddess ordering pizza and wings on doordash. It needed to exist

Illustration of a pink pastel cloud goddess leisurely ordering food on her phone in her room. The room is modern but lightly rococo themed, with fast food oil paintings on the wall, a drink fridge and food stickers. There is a coffee cup, flowers and a vinyl record player on the table. It's night-ish with a full moon. Drawn by gdbeeart Sept 2025
