A lot of folks wanted this to use on their own projects and such so I made a patreon post (free and public) with a download for the illustrator file or a PDF of the asset guide. You can find it here. www.patreon.com/teeketch/pos...

Always happy to help pals out with their projects anyway I can. Ben asked if they could use this badge I made ages ago and I was happy to oblige. I even made some alternates and said use whichever they preferred. Check out the game and support/follow if you can 🤙💙

saw this post years ago and will never ever forget it. sometimes you need to tend to the place from which you create, before you can create again

Screenshot of a tumblr post by user aureliobooks that reads: My dad likes to call the stretches of time where you’re not creating “dreaming periods” and says that they’re meant to allow you to absorb all of the beauty, life, and inspiration from the things around you so that when you’re able to create again, you will have fanned your spark back into a flame. Sometimes its hard to see those moments as anything but stagnation, but he always says that they’re natural and healthy and needed—things that should be embraced rather than feared.

People really do not appreciate the importance of the "do nothing" phase in the creative process. We are all about the kinetic energy, and forget its duality with potential energy.

A special 'applesaur' commission for anon 🍏

Clayton @explorersdesign.bsky.social · 4w ago

Public Domain Art is the lifeblood of small tabletop rpgs, but it can be a nightmare trying to find the right art and license. This week, I’ve re-uploaded my old list from 2020 (with updates) of public domain websites. That's 500,000+ public domain paintings, photos, maps, and film. Link below 🔗👇

A constellation commission for a private client last year! ❇️ They wanted a custom card illustrated - and used it as a surprise marriage proposal to their partner when they played their favorite board game together. I thought that was very sweet.

A hare & hound constellation booping noses - combining into a new constellation! This had a personal meaning for the client, making this into a custom card for Spirit Island. The intent was to sneak the card into the deck- when they drew the card it was time to propose! A very special commission I had the privilege to work on.

Emily Hancock @emilyhancock.bsky.social · 4w ago

Here's another Spirit Island commission for some fans of the board game! A custom card art / anniversary gift with their favorite Spirits together. #spiritisland

Shifting Memory of Ages and Starlight Seeks Its Form embracing. (As well as an earth spirit can hold a being made of light). Shifting Memory is designed by Joshua Wright. These are playable characters from the game Spirit Island!

Old doodle - a stained glass entity

Very old doodle of a concept I want to revisit - a being of light that mirrors the shape of the stained glass window it was cast from.

Jerry Gretzinger has spent 40 years using a deck of cards to generate a map. It is now made up of 4100 panels, and we spent three days helping him to assemble it.

Playable characters from the lands of Winter From my storytelling game - @florafiora.bsky.social #ttrpg

Athough all my plantfolk characters are they/them I was thinking of settling on 'Queen' since nonbinary usually defaults to male / King

On the flipside of the character sheet is the scrunglier character option (if you don't want to be fancy). Part of me wants them to canonically be the Queen in disguise but I'll leave that to other folks interpretations.

Thanks so much for playing! Hope you had fun. What sort of story did you tell?

@emilyhancock.bsky.social I got to play your game at the next Fun First sat game day! the improv skill level of the players varied which made the game interesting! www.funfirstproductions.com

Blue and me are sitting in the front while two beings who were also at the event sit by the window. The picture was taken while we were just starting out. We were the guardians of the galaxy who were trying to fix the big mistake that we got chosen as the guardians, we were trying to find the "real" guardians who went poof generations ago lol

Emily Hancock @emilyhancock.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Not really sure what to do about reprinting my game, I’m close to selling out all of my copies. I’m down to about 20 or so and I think that’s it for a while. Heading to Game Market West this weekend!

Emily Hancock @emilyhancock.bsky.social · 5mo ago

I’m very sad, they made my game possible! Not to mention quick turnarounds and being super local. Thank you for your hard work over the years.

It's time to say Goodbye

After a little over a decade, we have made the difficult decision to close Print and Play. This decision does not come lightly, as we understand the impact it will have on both the gaming community and our team members.

We invested heavily to keep Print and Play operating as long as possible. However, the highly detailed, hands-on work required to produce our level of quality through a small team ultimately cost more than we could charge customers. At the same time, we chose to fully support our employees with comprehensive benefits, including 100% health insurance coverage, a 401(k), and a robust paid time off program. We also moved into a new state-of-the-art facility to provide a more appropriate workspace, and invested in new laser equipment in recent years. Combined with lease obligations and rising material costs, these factors significantly increased our operating expenses. Unlike some competitors, we are not backed by private equity, so we did not have access to large external capital to offset these challenges.

Print and Play will finish all remaining orders in-house and officially close its doors on March 27th.

We deeply appreciate all of the creatives, designers, and publishers who have allowed our team to contribute to this amazing industry over the years. We’re truly proud of the work that Print and Play has put out into the world and would like to thank all of our loyal customers for their years of patronage.

Questions can be directed to sales@admagic.com with
“Print and Play” in the subject line if it refers to Print and Play specifically, or “Quote request” if you need pricing on your project. We will do our best to answer you as soon as possible. Ad Magic will still be available to handle your printing needs.
