The First WORLD FENCING LEAGUE is happening April 25th!!! I'M GEEKING!!!
Japanese engineers developed this "Sword Tip Visualisation" tracking technology specifically for this event that will make it so much easier for the average person to see what's going on!
I MUST WATCH THIS ENTIRE TOURNAMENT
Anyway, this is just a reminder to myself and other freelancers that sometimes passing on work is really "I can't give this the attention it genuinely deserves" and not "I never want to work with you again."
illustration of what might be some kind of fantasy funeral rite. The illustration is two colors and stylized, in the foreground is a group of robed priestess holding hands over a long sword. In the background a bandaged corpse lays on an altar among arches shelves of bottles and detritus.
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
Launching another Kickstarter tomorrow. Crowdfunding is in a weird state right now because of…everything…going on in the world, so I’m a bit nervous!
But I’m proud of this one regardless. Follow the campaign page to see when it goes live tomorrow morning! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bro...
A photo from PAX Unplugged in November 2025. Shows a round table setup for a tabletop game session using the TTRPG system Duality. Table holds rule sheets, markers, dice, a purple dice tray, player boards, rule books, and colorful tokens arranged on a white circular board in the center.
A photo from PAX Unplugged in November 2025. Shows a vertical banner that says "Access Forward Gaming Lounge," with a colorful striped header and set on a purple background. The sign describes an inclusive and accessible tabletop gaming space where Duality's play sessions happened. The lounge hours are listed on the sign, including quiet gaming hours and PAX logos.
Something we're deeply committed to: making sure our game is accessible to 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒆.
We showcased Duality in the Access Forward Gaming Lounge at PAX Unplugged—a disabled-led, accessibility-first space.
It wasn’t just about showing our game, but engaging with others and actively listening.

NEW EPISODE - Talk of the Table w/ @lonearchivist.bsky.social
The Fundamentals of RPG Layout
We discuss the fundamentals of good layout, why white space is just as important as content, and how to hone your layout skills from your first indesign session.
Love living in a country where we have to have this exact same conversation every damn year in slightly worse ways each time.
Silverquill. Definitely Silverquill, and definitely not the white deck 😅.

Glatisant just got its second printing and is now back in stock at @ipr.bsky.social and at @shop.peregrinecoast.press
The new printing fixes a few typos and updated the credits to list specifically which art is done by which artist.
The @newyorker.com just published a really fascinating profile of Linda McMahon by @zhelfand.bsky.social, in which I'm cited and quoted a number of times

First drafts are usually pretty bad. Editing is where the craft comes in, and you can learn that by joining critique groups and writers forums.
Just write. Be brave. Do the thing despite the fear. The world will not end. You will not die. You're safe.
Push your ego aside and enjoy the process.
“We must learn to live peacefully live the gentle dolphin”
Marine Biologist: these species of dolphin are entirely covered in scars from fighting all day every day. They hunt sharks for fun and the juveniles get high off of puffer fish.
A difficult concept to navigate properly is that *testing* is itself a major problem in education (most exemplified by the No Child Left Behind testing regimes. This can mean that the very tests revealing declines in learning are themselves part of what is causing the decline.
You might think, “but how will we know if student outcomes are improving without testing?” and the answer is that we must support and then trust our teachers. Teachers spend their lives working with and understanding students. Many of these regimes emerged out of not trusting teachers.
Seeing all the different things schools are doing right now to motivate students to try their best on testing says a lot, I think, about how divorced they are from being meaningful for students.
Hey this is a really good video!

Take a step back and make sure you understand what you want. If that looks like an outline of the structure, start with that. If you have to figure out a character, try writing them thinking or saying something to someone

A tweet from Pope Leo XIV that reads: “When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.”
Apparently the Pope has read Baudrillard.

It's so cool how every fucking democrat just sounds like your abusive, passive agressive parents who don't understand why you don't talk to them anymore now.
