Amongst assorted other things I've been doing, I've been working on a new fursuit head comm I printed a 1/3rd scale version to test the fit and look of everything, because there's a lot of pieces. Everything seems good and I'm really excited to see how it all comes together when it's done for real!
I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing
Perennial reminder that the big corporation does not care about you and there are better alternatives.
You've gotta see the fully rendered Black Hole Betty piece my friend did www.tumblr.com/sugarpucks/8...

Finally working through my art drought with some Black Hole Betty. She will fucking kill you.

The GenConado was uneventful on my end. I was sitting in the Hyatt eating a sandwich, attempting to strain my ears to hear announcements being whispered over the PA system. 20 minutes later, they whispered something else, and then it was over. It was a harrowing experience.
GenCon is going well! Magic Assholes has been a hit with the two groups I've run it for. Even had the chance to talk shop with a few people who were really interested. My wallet, however, is quietly weeping.
Doing a last minute check and then packing up and heading off to #GenCon!! I'm so excited to show off Magic Assholes in Space to more people this weekend.
I will be attempting to finish as many MAIS things as possible before GenCon, but for now, you can take a look at the slightly updated sheet and these stupid pre-gens I made just in case someone shows up late or has trouble understanding how they're supposed to go about making a character.
GenCon is fast approaching and I am vibrating with excitement for the chance to drop the most complete and refined version of Magic Assholes (to date) on people in a couple weeks.
Pulling that same, vile Obojima shit where they give combat stats to creatures the players shouldn't be fighting. Remember that time Hasbro laid off a ton of people right before Christmas? And how they just axed bunch of their video game projects, and how Chris Cocks keeps talking about AI in D&D?

Took my sweet time on this because the last several months have been... busy. However, if you want to grab my poorly made model and print yourself a Beetle Boi, you can now do that! Design by @kabewski.bsky.social for Flak Arcana www.thingiverse.com/thing:7382317

Got all of my copies of @j-k.games 's Mutants in the Now/Next/Archives!! MitN is one of the coolest, most detailed RPGs I've ever read or played. Character creation alone is such an amazing engine for generating interesting and varied PCs that are both randomly generated and meticulously customized
Midwest got hit with some intense storms last week. My neighborhood was spared any tornadoes, but we still got hammered with unbelievable 100+ mph winds that ripped the top of a tree off and threw it at my car.
So I meant to make a post a couple days ago about how I'm running my own original RPG system (Magic Assholes in Space) at GenCon again and then I went and checked my events only to discover that they were already completely sold out yesterday, which is extremely flattering!
Back in the goop mines trying yet another new version of these dice

So, all the AI vibe coding finally caught up with the bsky team, huh?
Oh yeah! #PortfolioDay! I'm Gear and I do digital 2d art, 3d modeling, and 3d printing stuff. I've got a TTRPG in the works and I'm doing some commission work on the side and juggling entirely too many projects at all times.

I've long believed that 5e has traumatizing effect on people and damaged so many players' perception of TTRPGs. No part of that lengthy learning process informs them that other systems *are* easier to learn, cheaper, and unburdened by 50+ years of sacred cows and "lifestyle brand" nonsense
In an effort to overwhelm myself with too many projects, I started up a monthly RPG club at my library. We had our first session a few weeks ago with Monster of the Week. It was a little messy because I had TEN people, but I've since had several of them reach out and say how much they enjoyed it.
The 3rd OC challenge done for my home server of Goblin Town I actually nailed down this design pretty quickly, but stalled out on the feet of the mech for days when I started doing the lineart. Just flats for now. #gear-art #originalcharacter #goblin #mech #trashion
The second Let's Make An OC challenge I did Sam Vihreä, the energetic Goth Snow Owl! This one stumped me at first because I was thinking "mall goth", and then I remembered Amano's Vampire Hunter D. Him being a big green snow owl didn't help the "Goth" look. #gear-art #originalcharacter #snowowl
