We have a winner sign on the bottom right corner on a cropped photo of a women's body, holding a brown framed hand embroidered artwork of a corn crake and a leaflet saying the Mavis Hall art prize.

The benefit of Dicebreaker was that it told me *what to look out for* and *why that was cool*.

Where RPGNews/En World/ICV2 publish press-kits as-is, and Rascal is doing investigative journalism there is absolutely a gap in the market.

Too bad net ad revenue has thrown itself in the garbage.

Love this, and I'll add CGE was one of my favorite vendors to work with. Great team, glad they chose to do something good.

The comment section is *not it* tho.

If you like what you're working with, go for it.

The reason I highlighted the overlap was for accessibility. If you want to keep that effect I might suggest either greater contrast between your hues, split text, or colors other than red/green.

Cheers, excited for whatever you cook up.

Nah that looks great! Maybe raise the titles a smidge.

My best advice is to add a background texture. I'm partial to "paper", but I think woodgrain would fit the setting. Merge it onto a Rastr, 15-20% opacity in your hero color, 👌!
Plus, it lets you "bounding box" in paper color to save legibility.

Maybe not the moment for it as it might be more pertinent to feature contemporary artists, but "Caper in the Castro" is the earliest known LGBT game and is available for free on Archive.

It's a rogue instead of not a cleric and still femme, but there *is* an "Evin" if you wanted to go a slightly different way.

Evin, Waterdeep Opportunist
Cost: 3 and Black
Legendary Creature - Human Rogue
Menace
Ward: Sacrifice a Creature.
Evin gets +2/+0 for each Treasure you control.
Whenever one or more players sacrifice one or more creatures, you create a tapped treasure token. This ability triggers only once each turn.
Power 2, Toughness 4

This whole year has been watching people I dislike build various #TormentNexus… Nexuses? Nexii?

Point is how the hell is anyone with half a brain able to function right now.

When people say that ”things were better back in the day,” I can only assume they're talking about 1983 frog phone

A vintage novelty corded telephone designed to look like a green frog. The phone's receiver resembles a frog's head and body, complete with raised eyes and a smooth, rounded shape. The beige coiled cord is attached and bundled with a rubber band, ending in a clear RJ11 connector. The phone rests on a plain white surface.

Space Trains™ go so fucking hard.
George Lucas never dared to dream this radically.

Sidetone @sidetone.bsky.social · May 20

No idea who to write to about this, but we *NEED* more films about Space Trains.

Sound design in late 70s anime is so enticing.
Love a quiet moment with natural foley on a single track.
