A black and white photo of a person dressed up as a ghost, wearing a white sheet over their body and dark sunglasses on top. Superimposed over the top is lettering in glowing neon green and orange, which reads "Hot Ghoul Halloween TTRPG Co-Op Bundle".

"The color is repellent, almost revolting; a smouldering unclean yellow, strangely faded by the slow-turning sunlight." I made a "Yellow Wallpaper" piece back in 2017, but I re-read the story over the weekend and wanted to try again. Much happier with this version 🖤

illustration inspired by Charlotte Perkins-Gilman's 1891 short story "The Yellow Wallpaper" depicting a woman touching sickly yellow torn wallpaper on a wall while shadowy hands reach toward her. There is another tall shadow of a figure on the wall and both figures look toward the viewer.

Honor your agreements—pay your freelancers. If you’re in a tight spot financially, or other parties cause money problems so that you’re suddenly low on funds, that’s unfortunately completely irrelevant. The freelancers don’t need to care about that. Pay them.

(I'm moving one of my biggest twitter threads here, cause I think it will be helpful to keep it alive) A thread with free resources (or super cheap) that we can use on #ttrpg creation. Basically images, illustrations, vectors, fonts and so on

I think by now we all know I had a wonderful time at #ukge2025. That said, there WAS something that really disappointed me, that I think is important to highlight - the use of AI. It wasn't prevalent, but I saw AI art on a number of stands for board games, TTRPGs, and gaming tools alike... 🧵

🚨Calling all UK TTRPG freelancers: we're running an industry pay survey for the next three months. If you're UK-based and have taken work both from UK companies *and* non-UK companies, we'd love to know how much it paid, how long it took, and how much of your income comes from RPG work.
