The middle is getting eaten alive in third-party D&D design. There are still lots of people self-publishing and making basically no money, and there are still opportunities for top freelancers, but it's getting harder and harder to move from the first group to the second.

What’s a thing from your area of expertise (or special interest) that you think it would behoove everyone else to know?

Pesto is an amazing designer and this is great additional content for Draw Steel. Go buy now! Kobolds eventually incoming

So. This is what separates a good translator from a mediocre one. A mediocre translator looks at the word. Then translates the word. They have no knowledge of context beyond the word. A good translator knows that words carry information. The word itself is not important. What is important is (1)

The same line is in 2199 and the 2199 Manga. The original Star Blazers translated the line as "Idiots," which always made perfect sense to me. However, 2199 and its manga translated it as "Nuts," which doesn't make sense to me and lessens the impact. Anyone know why this change was made?

Feels such a luxury to get to paint so many character portraits for a project. This was a vampire metroidvania indie game that I helped build a demo level for, Thirst 🦇

I didn't have time to make a Project for Awesome video this year. But it is a great project to raise money for charities. Give it a view, see if there are any charities you want to support! projectforawesome.com/videos/int-p...

It's been too long since I've painted any Sea of Thieves fanart.. maybe this year I shall return to it 🏴‍☠️ (Old piece based on Thomas Luny's The Bombardment of Algiers)

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

After months of hard work and many evenings giggling as I turned wacky kobold prompts into stat blocks, I'm thrilled to announce that version 1.0 is ready! If you got it on Itch, you can download the new version from the Itch page. If you got it on Backerkit, a download email should go out soon. 🧵

Maybe AI is really a virus that spreads by making its host talk about how inevitable AI adoption is.

This meeting could've been a Draw Steel montage.

No one even tried, I was disappointed.

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't
