Fractures Emerge Between GOP’s Pro-Pedophilia, Extremely Pro-Pedophilia Wings

This is a really kind thread -- I couldn't have picked a better project to dip my toe into TTRPG art direction on, to be real! Swords Without Master is entirely My Jam, and working with Eppy and Nathan is always easy and fun, no matter the subject matter we tackle, so combined, this has been great!

At every step of the process—defining the look the of project, finding artists able to absolutely nail that look, winnowing the field to fit the budget, contacting and communicating with the artists, turning my babbling into useful feedback—they were there and kept me stumbling around in the dark.

@portablecity.bsky.social has been instrumental in bringing the vision of Swords Without Master fix-up together. The wrangling and organizing they've done has been invaluable; but there's so much more!

When it comes illustrations, I know what I like, even if I'm not the best at expressing it.

Watching these Eidolon Folios for Swords Without Master roll in has been amazing! I want you to adventure in these worlds, meet these creatures, and hang with these swords.

But right now, I want to talk to my fellow publishers about the power of hiring an art director.

A sparrow-like creature pokes its head out of what appears to be a large birdhouse. It's circled by tall, slender cypress trees, and is in the middle of a mediterranean garden.

The Gardener.

A large dark draconic monster rises from within a split mountain. It towers over a hill that has a tiny house-like structure.

FOLKS!

Thanks so much to @portablecity.bsky.social for being a great AD, here's one of two of the illustrations I did for Swords Without Master and you guys have no idea what cool shit you're in for. People have been cranking out the most gorgeous work for that thing

We've got 4 days to go before the end of the campaign and my return to a social media hibernation state.

But, for now, don't sleep on this book. @megacarter.bsky.social and I are both so proud of it and we think you'll love trekking with Brook and Porter through this bizarre world of theirs.

Dudes who actually buy into manosphere bullshit love to go on about biological/gender essentialism and The Natural Order, but when you tell 'em "So where's the problem, most males in the animal kingdom never get a chance to procreate, I guess your genes must be inferior" suddenly there's an issue :V
