Oops just bought Tainted Grail guess I know what I'm doing this long weekend

What self-employment is like every day

Decided I must make a ttrpg/personal/worldbuilding page and it's a little bit alive now here: covebetweenworlds.bearblog.dev

A Formula for Creativity The source of my frustration: this idea that there’s a formula for creativity that can be repeated endlessly and tapped for all its monetary value. It almost works that way, but in another, more impor...

Oh hey I wrote a new blog post on the new site my friend and I are starting up as a way to peel back the curtain on what it is actually like to work as creatives: www.offstageplatform.com/en/post/a-fo...

Tl;dr: I don't believe in formulas for creativity. Not really.

It's taken me a long time to read the book but I feel ready to try my hand at running a bit o’ Blades in The Dark in the coming month.

Photo of a man in a black t-shirt with the text "just don't it." The texture of the image is like a low quality photo copy in black and white.

Inspired by a tagline I imagine our dog coined.

They have no gods. They work magic, and think they are gods themselves. But they are not. And when they die, they become dust and bone, and their ghosts whine on the wind a little while till the wind blows them away. They do not have immortal souls.

There is new José González music and oh my god: feelings, instantly

Portrait of me overlayed with the following text in all caps, chartreuse sans serif: I’m excited about this year. realized in december that my setup for 2026 is exactly what i wanted to achieve when i started freelancing with no plan and zero clients in the pipeline back in 2018: time for stuff that isn’t work. and i don’t want to decide or announce what that time will be used for, because i just don’t know. but i’m glad it’s what i’m working with this year.

Made a thing. I’m excited about this year.

A query for any passing traffic - are there any well recommended (in your view) digital arts or humanities conferences or events happening within the UK over 2026? (I have some project works I'd like to display / talk about, and am looking for potential avenues).

An image of a blue hardcover book titled "ART BY NOHR" in large gold foil lettering. The cover features a central white square with a red, hand-drawn sketch of a monstrous, spiked creature. Smaller text on the cover reads, "Drawings and doodles by Johan Nohr, made between 2006 and 2023." The book is set against a vibrant orange and red gradient background. Bold yellow text at the top says "NEW ARRIVAL" and at the bottom, it says "NOW @ TABLETOP BOOKSHELF."

Bring MÖRK BORG to your coffee table with Art by Nohr from Free League Publishing

Johan Nohr is a Swedish visual artist and graphic designer probably best known for his vibrant work in the tabletop roleplaying game scene.

That time of year again!

This makes me so excited to go back to Sweden for the holidays 🙃

Love riso printing! These textures are so crunchy ✨

Uh oh it's the time of year for trend reports.

Watched the Control Resonant trailer and I feel a strong need to play Control 👀 Never played it

Instagram lock profile if you’re on it too long

My Bluesky feed is turning very much into all ttrpg stuff and I LOVE LIFE

Symmetrical, abstract illustration featuring wiggly lines and shapes that almost form the outline of an alien creature wearing a crown and emanating an aura and looking at its reflection below. The colors are green, orange, and pink and they really pop, adding to the mildly psychedelic vibe.

Another thing I could riso print but probably shan’t.

I’m excited to share my finished Krampus marionette/puppet only one day late for Krampusnacht. He was a little more involved than my last marionette but he was definitely worth it. 🌲

The beach has become the spot for a permanent party where those who seek to forget dance their memories away while those who seek unusual goods browse the questionably decorated huts along the boardwalk.

A Mausritter setting that’s all inside the walls of a megadungeon in which other people are playing another rpg. Adventures on mouse scale and humanoid scale somehow interact between sessions. An idea I will never develop so the internet can have it for free.

It’s all about the reps, isn’t it 🥲 This one has such nice mark making, feels alive

Me a year ago: hex maps? I don’t get it

Me today: I want to see every hex map ever made

Love it!

On a pause from Netflix which means we don’t have Fireplace For Your Home: Birchwood Edition this year 🥲

I mean, the SUFFERING of having to put on a YOUTUBE fireplace??? I cannot.

Please actually do!

Guidelines and Brain Dump Ahoy! As I set out on this worldbuilding adventure, I want to note down some guiding thoughts that I can come back to whenever I feel stuck. This list may change.…

I love worldbuilding. Even just thinking about it. What is on your core list of inspirations for whatever you’re working on right now? I'm certain I've forgotten something key on my own.
