If you plan to really get into building TTRPGs, you have to treat it like the business that it is. This article is a great foundation to get starting thinking like an entrepreneur

Running a trial version of what will be my first professionally facilitated event for 14 people at 6pm… wish me luck!!

There are two wolves inside you. One is happy that fall is here. The other is looking at the coursework to come and screaming “go back, GO BACK”

Even better, I’ll give you a follow! Love your style. Happy birthday!

Oh that’s great to know! Thanks micycle!

Good morning

Margaret E Atwood @MargaretAtwood Here's a piece of literature by me, suitable for seventeen-year-olds in Alberta schools, unlike -- we are told -- The Handmaid's Tale. (Sorry, kids; your Minister of Education thinks you are stupid babies.) John and Mary were both very, very good children. They never picked their noses or had bowel movements or zits. They grew up and married each other, and produced five perfect children without ever having sex. Although they claimed to be Christian, they paid no attention to what Jesus actually said about the poor and the Good Samaritan and forgiving your enemies and such; instead, they practised selfish rapacious capitalism, because they worshipped Ayn Rand. (Though they ignored the scene in The Fountainhead where "welcomed rape" is advocated, because who wants to dwell, and also that would have involved sex and would de facto be pornographic. Well, it kind of is, eh?) Oh, and they never died, because who wants to dwell on, you know, death and corpses and yuk? So they lived happily ever after. But while they were doing that The Handmaid's Tale came true and Danielle Smith found herself with a nice new blue dress but no job. The end.

Things aren’t golden in Canada either. In Alberta (Canada’s Texas) they just banned over 200 books, including The Handmaid’s Tale. @margaretatwood.bsky.social had thoughts. www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

It’s my birthday today! 🎈
I’d be delighted if people shared this around to help me celebrate turning 29 🎂

Also, hello to any art directors, my folio and contact info is in the replies 😉

GM Tip: Want your players to hate the villain? Have her impose annoying inconveniences on the party.

For example, if the villain is a corrupt city ruler. Have her soldiers impose a tax on the party, or search their possessions and seize an object of moderate value.

Already this artist who never sold erotic content had their Stripe account closed for selling "adult" content that was squeaky clean furry headshots. It's not a slippery slope at this point but near to a collapse of the entire pass. bsky.app/profile/sivk...

the problem, as i see it, is not that censoring erotic content is a slippery slope to censoring LGBTQ+ culture. it's that censoring erotic content IS censoring LGBTQ+ culture.

Oh totally! Would come see your panel if I could. How has your experience been navigating that so far? How’d you end up as a panelist? I would love to run a panel, working on some goals for that…

Thanks so much for the shoutout - you’re the best! 👏✨

YOUR PORTFOLIO CRIT THINGS I'D TELL YOU IF I WERE LOOKING AT YOUR WORK IN PERSON 1 Violating the 180 degree rule makes this sequence hard to follow 2 A few more incidental overlaps will make this foreshortening clearer 3 Symmetrical compositions with a character dead center imply an important moment. Don't draw every panel like that? 4 This __ looks kind of fake. Take the time to look at reference instead of just making it up 5 An establishing shot will help the reader understand where this takes place. 6 Find a life-drawing session to attend, or practice from photos online. 7 Show these pages to someone who doesn't know the story and ask them to tell the story back to you. 8. Nudge this part over a bit to eliminate that tangency. 9 You flattened out the depth by rendering the foreground, middle ground, & background with the same values. Create depth and direct the eye by organizing them into overlapping planes of light & dark. 10 there are better ways to use your time than rendering every brick. 11 these characters look like they're floating (or falling). Draw figures and bg from the same eye level. 12 Unless this will be a wordless comic, leave more room for the lettering

Been a year. Time to repost this.

FanExpo Toronto was an EXPERIENCE! Gonna post more about it once I catch up on sleep

Blood lemonade for the blood god

Farewell to Cyris and Courier, who fought valiantly against the Djinn and his death tyrant in our one-shot. Unfortunately, Cyris was hit with an ill-timed disintegration ray, while courier remains for eternity as a statue on a lonely island, poised with his magnum in an eternal, fateful last stand.

I’m at Fan Expo Toronto today and tomorrow - hit me up if you’re here and want to say hi!
