If you're interested in this, reach out! Right now I'm looking for things made with/for RUNE or Slayers (dragon included), or things using the LUMEN system.
One thing I'm trying with Gila this year is doing print publishing for other designers who work with my games or systems. WYRD, by @sasquatchgames.bsky.social has been a huge success! We've sold over 200 copies on my store, retailers, and conventions. gilarpgs.com/products/wyrd
Interested in a 2-player skirmish game inspired by Dutch / French painters, absinthe, and different art media? Pick up "Va(r)Nish"!
The imbecilic painter from across the boulevard has recently confessed their feelings for your beloved. And they have been given a chance to prove themselves worthy; can you believe it!? There is only one way to settle this. They must VANISH into oblivion. lonearchivist.itch.io/vanish

Since people seem interested, I've coded a version of this that yields better results, is more optimized, and allows you to customize the texture of the noise. It's free, and forever will be free. Enjoy! chaoclypse.itch.io/xerox-hell
I coded a web app that xerox's your images for fun! Just drag an image in and play with the dials. If nothing shows up (or it's all black) you may want to play with the threshold (first slider). Press "S" to save the image! editor.p5js.org/Chaoclypse/f...
Managed to just finish up my entry for the Appendix N Jam! Honestly, really stretching the meaning of my assigned title with this one lol. Race against the clock to explore the sunken submersible, The Nuckelavee in: Race Against the Nuckelavee.
