Hit me up if you have potential jobs for me! I can write, I can edit, I can give design advice, I can draw some, and I can do layout. I don't like to discuss my personal life on main, but I'm in a really bad place financially. For those who want the whole story, I'm going to drop it in this thread.

This week's monster is a giant desert worm, a sci-fi classic brought to us by Dune and reimagined a thousand times over. My version is dangerous only because of its size, not because it is inherently a monster. Available for Heliosail & 5e. #D&D #DnD #TTRPG #Worm www.patreon.com/posts/monste...

hey, as a heads up to other ttrpg creators. if you get a gushy friendly email from a "hiddendoor.co" saying they looove your work + asking you to test drive their site/consider a partnership — they have tried pretty hard to hide the fact that it's AI, but it's AI. it's buried in their about and FAQ
