Went on holiday one time, now dying to play Florence by Night. Vampires assassins creeding the rooftops? Sign me UP.

Travel is the best thing for worldbuilding. Definitely not just me missing Italy.

There aren't enough anti histamines in the world to save me from cleaning the bedroom 💀

HA oh I've been *fine* just. Comatose. Slightly frustrating!

Although today I did manage to not be asleep for multiple consecutive hours and get all my orders out and do a little dice work, and finally got a hold of the good shit so I can finally be a functional human again tomorrow

Been an absolute HUSK of a person for three days straight without even the energy to post the usual nonsense because the GP decided to just not issue my meds for no god damn reason at all

I have either been asleep or eating, nothing else 😭

I have my fingers crossed you get to play them soon! 🤞🏻

I now immediately regret not taking the food merit 🤣🤣🤣

Factory workers are underpaid and using industrial machinery - the idea that because they have hands makes them handmade is why places like Etsy are swamped with cheap manufactured dice sets that cost less than a score; they're not handmade at all.

Our humanity and our time is the value.

You're getting something ethically handcrafted by an artist, not churned out some factory.

This video took four days to make, showing a snippet of each intensive piece of the process in handcrafting a dice set. So after all the materials, the expensive equipment, the five years of experience - every set takes 5-6 hours to make, complexity dependent.

...we were once told "well factory workers have hands so yours should cost the same" so let's look at how long it actually takes to create a dice set from start to finish 🤟🏻

Do you know how long it takes to make a set of dice?

The value of artisan work goes well beyond time - it's the craftsmanship, experience and soul of the artist - but...

I had not hear of Kiasyd
NEW LORE NEW LORE NEW LORE

(She sounds amazing I want to be her friend)

They shouldn't have made this the last section, I had nothing left 🤣🤣🤣

A very successful first session

About to (really) play Vampire for the first time 🩸 our last one was just session zero, but now Thea is about to enter her unlife.

As we welcome new childers to the masquerade, tell me all about your kindreds: past or present 👇🏻

Turns out I can see the EXACT moment I gave up on character creation

I can see you're not taking pitches right now @rascal.news but if you dig it and want to outsource it, I could put my journo degree to use 👀

Not particularly some big national news outlet, but I wonder if a piece on how the assets are being adopted by the TTRPG world as a push back against AI would fit somewhere like @rascal.news

Myself and others use the assets for event signage, and friends use it on games & KS imaging to denounce AI

I know most small businesses use Munbyn/Munbyn like thermal printers - maybe prebuilt designs ready to print on those? Unsure if physical shops tend to have those kind but might be something!

I made these signs using them on my lil thermal guy!

the human made icon

I want to be a better steward for the Human Made icon. If you have any ideas on how I can get the word out for it more please let me know. Do you think game retailers would be interested in stickers they could pass out? folks interested in pins? What can I do to support you using this icon? a zine?

Black stone, blood red inking with phosphorescent glowing high numbers complete with a final spray of blood.

Blood soaked stone and a glowing soul held inside 🩸

Soulstone are one our favourite designs we've ever made - telling the story of a body buried, bloodied, beneath a tomb and the small essence of soul, light, being dragged back to the living world.

I tried this using a whisker to brush the lines on and it was too clumpy! 😭😭😭

I have yet to figure out a way to paint on her whiskers though
The watercolours I've used aren't bright enough, nor brushes thin enough
The paint pens I have in white are all chunky

She needs her eyebrows!!!! Any ideas???

She's not on bluesky so this is the only place I can share it til it's done, enjoy the horror

However I am SO pleased with how the redo came out!!!

So I haven't drawn or painted anything in AGES and I decided to paint a memorial portrait of my besties cat.

There's two: the first attempt. And the redo.

I can't stop laughing at the first try. This is why they say practice makes perfect. What the fuck is that bruh 😭🤣

ITCHY PHASE IS HERE.
HELP ME

Burn in the eternal flames 🔥

I drew this Heroes Relics design last year for a stamp rally (look I drew Failnaught too but it was a compositional nightmare) and we never actually put it out. So. The question now is: Who would wanna see the Fire Emblem Three Houses temporary tattoo hit the website?

Nah. Definitely just a fluke. Must be correlation without causation there's NO way environment could possibly effect mood or motivation at all

🤣🤣🤣
