My Zinequest project is live!
In Small Folk in Big Coats you each play as a little guy in a stack masquerading a single big guy. You're unlikely to get caught, but you’re even less likely to work together.
It’s very silly and easy to get playing. Go Check it out!

And if they hit the $3k mark, I get to contribute a mystery as well!
I'm happy to announce that... Mystery Snacks is funded!
This IS happening, and I'm excited to be working towards our first stretch goal, adding a new mystery written by @omnisx.bsky.social!
Many thanks, and let's keep rolling!

It's February, and that means it's nearly time for the French version of my solo journaling #TTRPG The Librarian's Apprentice, coming from Neoludis / Les Fondations de l’imaginaire!
This will be an A5 zine version of the game, with a fun little bookshelf for the character sheet.

Making more eyes/expressions for the modular puppet idea. The kiddo requested “squinty side-eye.” I think it worked out fairly well! The glasses took a few tries but I like the shiny googly eyes as lenses.
