Oh no, I've updated InDesign to the newest version and got immediately reminded why I haven't been doing it for the last year and a half. It freezes and crashes at the mere mention of exporting to PDF. ... Rollback, here we go!

In case you're wondering, we're alive! And, incidentally, also recovered from crowdfunding-marketing social burnout. So, here's an update on Zoologist's Primer: Birds! www.doubleproficiency.com/post/zoologi...

Zoologist's Primer: Birds - Kickstarter Wrap-Up

The crowdfunding campaign for Zoologist's Primer: Birds is over, but the cool animal facts never stop!

doubleproficiency.com

I'm participating the summer sale on Everyday Original from June 29th to July 5th! I'm moving soon so I'm looking to rehome as many originals as I can which is why I made the exception to put my originals on a sale.

Woo! We're back from our annual vacation! Highlights: 🏰 visited the largest castle in the world, 🥚 made friends with an ostrich (fine, "acquaintance"), 🦆 bought seeds to feed ducks, got robbed by pigeons, 🫠 melted in a heatwave. Ready to get back to writing and game design!

RPG TRADER IS NOW LIVE. FOR REAL. 🔥 Tell your friends, fellow creatives, imaginary dragons and your followers! We’ve already got: ⚔️ 250+ creators 📚 1,500+ RPG products live (and more on the way) 🌍 A marketplace built for indie RPG chaos in the best way 👉 RPG Trader is officially open.

I expected to be a bit burned out by the time the Kickstarter ends, but I'm again reading bird books for fun, so I think we're good.

The Kickstarter campaign is over but fun never stops. What we've been up to? The bird book, Mycologist's Primer fulfillment, and a whole bunch of new projects. No Patronage needed to read it, but consider joining if you want to unlock access to the WIP bird book! 💖 www.patreon.com/posts/mayday...

Female birds with confusing names.

Every month for our issue of @fantasticalgeographic.com, we come up with "book recs" and I love coming up with titles & authors for them, then setting @chaospixiemagic.com loose on filling in the details and having fun making covers! And then posting them on our NEAL website for everyone to enjoy.😁

We've been asked recently, so I want to be sure we're honest about our AI policy.

Oh no, this is going to seriously impact my current AI budget of (Checks notes) Absolutely fucking zero www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Ahhh so close. I've gotten all the previous books by them with the bundles and they are VERY worth it. Definitely recommend checking this project out. Easy to plug into any world building and just a wonderfully well researched project. You can see the hard work and care on every page. ♥️

Burnout Recovery by Alicia K. Anderson is the most witchcraft-coded book of modern psychology, and I really appreciate that the PhD author isn't undercutting herself with "it's a bit woo-woo" when talking about the power of myth and ritual in recovery. Highly recommended.

Hey. If you can't support an artist or their crowdfunding campaign, here's two free things that really do help: 1. Just say you like their work. Seriously. Let them know. 2. Share their stuff. It helps, and lets them know that they aren't creating in a vacuum. That does so much good right now. 🤘
