i did a few illustrations for Apocalypse Keys and wished i could have done more; all of the art briefs and story-lines weaving throughout it were so so lovely and a joy to work on. please consider helping its designer out

having my art share a book space with other artists' incredible work is always so so lovely. getting to see it house their artworks in card format is sublime, like hands unfolding and offering you treasures untold and adventures anew

The proofs for the Swords Without Master Eidolon Folios are in - campaign update incoming, but folks? These look real nice! Some tweaks will happen for the final, but we're very pleased. Shoutout to @elemei.bsky.social for the deckbox illustration, and @queerwizard.co.uk's maps in that closeup!

Pictures of Eidolon Folio cards for Swords Without Master. Left, spread of many full-color tarot-sized fantasy art cards, arrayed in a circle around a pink-and-beige overtone card that says Jovial on it. Right, a man's hand holding the deck box, with Swords Without Master title in pink over beige Eidolon Folios, and illustration of three opening into other worlds with a skeleton reclining on stairs in the foreground.

recently watched my partner finish playing the séance of blake manor and it was really neat, i enjoyed the line-heavy art style and the comic-esque cutscenes

for the marielda twentieth anniversary we should do a double-sided bookmark that on one side has samothes shaking his head disapprovingly at you (but looking very handsome) and on the other side has samot giving you a thumbs-up (he can also be handsome)

it's always great to have a directing eye on big projects, i have a distinct memory of steve helping me further tighten up the palette on the starbook. shout outs steve and everyone else in this thread!

our art director was @smgdraws.bsky.social, whose sharp eye pulled all these disparate parts together and made them talk to one another. there is a LOT of illustration and design in this and Steve knew how it all needed to talk to each other

irt last repost, the marielda vinyl journey was truly a years-long saga, a roller coaster of excitement and effort that i thought had stalled out with the first attempt not making it to the finish line but eventually at least some of the art being repurposed.

Jack, the Friends at the Table team and the incredible artist @elemei.bsky.social have put so much time, thought and sustained craft into this release. I can't wait for people to have this art object / vinyl record / immersive storytelling device in their hands, it's a thing of tremendous beauty.

i mentioned on a stream yesterday that it is taking a monumental effort to be normal in the company comms and PR voice for this. i do not want to be normal. i want to hoot and holler

as a well-versed scholar of paradise lost (read it exactly once for the first time last year) and mpreg (oh, you know), i really enjoyed the most recent episode of shelved by genre

💯💯💯 truly it was so cool to collaborate with a team like this, from first concepts to logistics and layout and type and i'm trying to talk about this as vaguely as possible, and of course the initial marielda story and soundtrack
