Angina is possibly the worst thing ending in -ina. Regina is a close second.

I’m so excited to talk about art direction for games !! Rising tide is such a fantastic community for the TTRPG space and I’m honored to be invited to share my expertise!!
Getting ever closer to 250, would mean 300 would be in sight. And 300 is the bare minimum I want to launch with!
Anyway, I got to get back to the layout work now.
If I get too close
And I'm not how you hoped
Forgive my northern attitude
Oh, I was raised out in the cold
If the sun don't rise
'Til the summertime
Forgive my northern attitude
Oh, I was raised on little light

I would watch all of it. Aaaaall of it.
In the middle of anti-Indigenous racism and residential school denialism on the west coast, new documentary Namesake is about the Tla’amin Nation requesting a name change for a city named after Israel Wood Powell, who helped establish residential schools.
Guess the vibes I try to put out there are coming back to me, because folks are doing a whole ass game jam *and* bundle *and* stream-a-thon weekend to fling me into my future like a steam catapult onto a safe landing pad on stable ground. Join us this weekend, April 24-27!
we are at $3,000 in just an hour and a half, almost halfway to the $7,000 goal!
help us help two families get their needs met and pay their rent!
Not at the end of the road yet! Still need to keep the momentum going. And there's a stream-a-thon kind people are doing for me on the weekend of Apr 24 thru 27. Check out the links and sign up if you'd like! Share the page. Throw coins in my face. UNLOCK MY TRUE POWER!!!

This year my goal is to post a Stock Art Pack every month!
April's "pack" is my Tea Dragon Illustration! I have many pieces that I am proud of just sitting in my art folders waiting to have someone love them.
My Tea Dragon Illustration is now available on my itch!

The cover of a black and white zine on a green textured paper background. In the background are carabiners, a headlamp, a journal, rope, and a map. The cover of the zine has the title Underneath and a large etching style illustration of a narrow cave chamber. A natural fountain springs up from the rock floor. Statues of dragons and lions and weird dogs all spit water across the chamber into each other's mouths intersecting with the single stream of water erupting from the natural fountain.
The cover of the game zine We Shall Be Monsters. The title is in an embellished black letter font in white over a black background with a low contrast image of a doctor standing over a dead body on a slab. The zine is displayed on textured paper with a silk handkerchief and a small saw next to it.
I am beyond thrilled to announce that TWO of my games have been nominated for Indie Groundbreaker Awards!
Underneath for Best Rules
&
We Shall Be Monsters for Best Writing
Honoured to be nominated alongside so many great games and peers!

I'm making many changes, some subtle others not so. When I post a photo again I'll be a very different Brent.
Book promo post. A textured orange-hued background with a book cover overlaid it. The book cover is for Starship Librarians and features a humanoid librarian in a retro-coloured spacesuit of oranges, creams, and teal, shelves books. They are framed by a window looking out onto space. Behind them is a bookcart with thrusters instead of wheels. Additional text says Now Available.
Happy National Library Workers Day!
Celebrate with a good book: www.kobo.com/ca/en/ebook/...

You see, I'd heard the rumours
I knew before you let me know
But I didn't believe it, not you
No, you would not let me go
Seems I was wrong
But I love, I love you the same
And that's the one thing that you can't take away

Not up for being perceived, so I swapped my photo out for an idealized version of me. Meet Commander Doctor Brent, courtesy of @lartist.bsky.social who is amazing and you should follow.
(I know it won't always be this way, but I have work to do NOW dammit!)
New Achievement Unlocked: getting tired just sitting at my desk typing. Yeah, yeah, heart important, I get it, but don't take writing and editing away from me! *sigh*
Imagine!
The Metis Nation-Saskatchewan has hired a Saskatoon lawyer to lobby the federal government on a new health centre. Douglas Richardson was added to the lobbyist registry about a month after the MN-S opened an Ottawa office it said would be less expensive than a consultant.
So yeah, my heart gave me some issues last week, prompting a hospital visit. I'm okay, looks like it's normal "your 57" stuff, and I need to start respecting my age. Got some new meds and new dedication to my workout plan, so we'll see how we go.
$325 still needed! Less than 1 hour!
Please keep giving & reposting
Let's GO! Hurry! NOW! 🙏

A meme featuring two medieval knights fighting with the text reading: NOW KISS (your friends character in a 2 person ttrpg)
Yeaaah I think I am gonna run a romantasy inspired game jam this summer. Come join me in making games where your fictional blorbos get to kiss. Beep beep who is getting in the 2-player romantasy jam car with meeeeee
if you guys haven't checked out The Time We Have yet, now's a good time 🚪
I’d add that this is also evidence of just how mentally and morally cooked the tech oligarchy is. They used to know this was “inside voice” stuff. Now it’s meant to be the organizing principles of society.
This popped up on your timeline bc the algorithm knows you’re a burnt out nerd in need of a little praise so I just want to let you know that I’m proud of you for not giving up. Everything is tough & overwhelming but you’re still giving as much of yourself as you can & thats good enough. Keep it up.
