As an RPG retailer who has attended quite a few cons now I have only one request: please put a blurb on the back of your book. I know it looks very nice and mysterious to have wraparound art but fr please put a fckn blurb on your book

Hello! I would love to take on more freelance design work and I have prepared a ✨brand new✨ portfolio for your perusal.
I'm especially keen to work on TTRPGs and other print artefacts :)
I genuinely love TTRPG Twitter because I can read five incredibly enlightening and thought provoking viewpoints from a diverse group of luminaries I respect and they all fucking hate each other
said it before and i'll say it again now that i've ordered my steam deck: i can't wait to use this bit of groundbreaking tech to run morrowind (2002) and caves of qud, a game which looks like this

As I understand it, it's the same nanomachine inhibitor that it's been the whole way through - it's because they're so addled with FOXDIE that the inhibitor stops it from killing them off

🚨 Filmmakers Without Cameras: Issue 3 - Open Call 🚨
Issues 1 and 2 of Filmmakers were a smorgasbord of topics. This time we’re changing things up a little: we’ve got a theme.

I sold TTRPGs at a local crafts market this weekend. I've written up a brief post about the key takeaways from chatting to people there. Here's the juicy stuff I know everyone wants to know:
I remember how amazing it was that you could take a picture of your receipt and Expensify would fill out an expenses form for you except it turned out that they literally just paid people peanuts to do it and it wasn’t some miracle OCR tech they kept under wraps
Amazon billed its "Just Walk Out" stores as some triumph of AI. In reality, it was powered by thousands of low-paid Indian workers manually adding up items in your cart as you shopped.
How insanely dystopian.
Two weeks to go before Milk Bar goes live on Kickstarter and I'd love to hit 300 followers before then!!

we've only gone and done it. thank you so much everyone - all the support today has been mindblowing and heartwarming and so so fucking lovely to see. it's actually a little mindblowing to think that this project has raised more money than all of our previous projects combined 🤯
Incredibly happy to say that in January I’ll be starting at the

“After WOTC’s licensing fee” which is 50% btw, is gross profiteering from a literal war. Really glad that the creators put this together but lol, WotC didn’t even do the bare minimum here
"I still can't believe that this is the protest that would prove every Bitcoin crank a prophet. And for me to have to slice a piece of humble pie, and admit that I was wrong on crypto's fundamental necessity in Western democracies."
had the wild idea of making Milk Bar in DL format, complete with a custom-made folder and I think I've convinced myself...
also had the idea of separating the rules and the setting into two zines... maybe a third for reference at the table?
Hello! I would love to design and/or art direct your next magazine/book/RPG/convention programme/other fun stuff.

Mild packaging refresh for Milk Bar - deeper and warmer yellows and blues, no more Helvetica (in favour of the gorgeous Rader), and a slightly rejigged back copy. still not entirely sure if I'll stick with DL or go for A5 🤪✌️
I'm behind schedule for ZineQuest but starting to work on the graphics of Milk Bar - there's a few things I want to achieve:
Strong typographic style - I believe in em dashes (without spaces!), and I want to lean into the quirks of polish typography like lower-upper quote marks
Alright, the new release of

This is your grandad in the pub going “don’t care what they get up to as long as they keep it to themselves”. Incredible that this is the least trans-hostile piece published by the british media and it comes from fucking Jeremy clarkson
Brace yourselves: The Sunday Times has run an 'are we the baddies?' opinion piece about transgender rights, and it's by Jeremy Clarkson:
'It would be easy at this point to roll your eyes and think that the world’s gone mad. But hang on a minute. Because what if you’re wrong?'

Brutal review - I hadn’t ever listened to the Russos’ speak before but those quotes are worms in the brain type stuff. Just shovelling shit for the sake of shovelling shit

Day 1: employee entrance. Discarded engineering jumpsuits and access cards. Triumphant poster with lettering: “a good day to work hard!”
Well, my talk was fully packed out, have had lots of nice comments, and made the room laugh a few times (unfortunately, one of those was thanks to The Copenhagen Story) so I’ll call that a success
Here we gooooooooo
So Filmmakers Trilogy had 339 backers and 253 followers by the *end* of the campaign. I don’t want to get my hopes but if we can breach 400 backers here then we’re absolutely sorted

Feel free to post links to what you’re working on below, and maybe give a like or a retweet to a couple things too.
Few reasons you should back the Filmmakers Trilogy:
- it’s both a film and a games journal
- it’s 150 pages large. That’s a *lot* of writing and illustration
- we pay above-market rates to contributors, because publishing has been dogshit for too long
- it looks like this👇🧵
