OFF HOURS: ABSURDIA

To celebrate the launch of the Absurdia crowdfunding campaign, we are declassifying the top secret patreon playtest we did of the three new playbooks coming to the (Meta)Physical edition!

Listen here 👁️

An image of a distant campfire with a few people around it. Behind the camp is the start of a large forest. In the top right is a starry sky. The image has a mild pink and purple gradient filter over it. Text reads “MH PRESENTS: ABSURDIA” at the top, and “The Suit, The Arm, and The Little Guy” on the bottom.

A balmy sunset;
From opposite sides of the road
Chickadees call.

Hey there, #PortfolioDay!

I'm Ashley, an artist who works on book covers, TTRPG's, and tarot cards. I thought today I'd show y'all two of my fav pieces that I just saw are in the wild~ 💚

Done for the @oldgodspod.bsky.social TTRPG with @montecookgames.com

A tall young man leans forward on a countertop of a market stall, face close to the seated young woman who runs it. They are deep in conversation. We see a banner for her store, "Ruth's Apothecary", and note that she is surrounded by various witchy supplies including ceremonial knives and hallucinogenic dreamer's tea.

A young woman with overalls stands yelling in the middle of a river, her arms outstretched to try and distract to shadowy monsters that have chased her and her friends to this point. Behind her, a man carries a woman in a yellow dress, who look is looking over his shoulder, terrified at what she sees. He is carrying her toward a house on top of a hill with lit windows, a beacon of hope.

I've ended up on an Anti-AI list on BlueSky (made by someone with the name "antiantiai") and, honestly, I'm not all that intense in my dislike of AI, but if my not liking AI makes me your enemy, then good riddance I guess.

A true crime podcast about the disappearance…of a podcast. @addisonpeacock.bsky.social and I dig into the mystery of what happened to the Wicked Library. Grab a magnifying glass, a ouija board, and your earbuds- let’s get strange.

At the first ever Greater Houston Arts Forum today - not presenting or paneling or anything, just being a fly on the wall and learning about the issues our local artists/arts orgs care about. This was sorely needed. Thank you, Houston Arts Alliance, Hou Arts, Houston Endowment, and Hobby Center.
