For those new here, Hi, hello I'm Arcane and I'm making an original TTRPG system/setting called Quasar tales from the endless void (link in bio).
I also make 3D printable terrain and minis and sell them in hopes to keep Quasar free! here's a link to the store:

would you be willing to accept something in a bundle anyway ? this isn't about publicity it's about making the bundle more desirable to help raise money for a good cause.

@nairuz.bsky.social maps like this could be really cool for more urban fights in your campaign

Filip Holm's videos are so well researched, and as always the real lore is infinitely more interesting than the orientalist garbage that ends up in the vast majority of TTRPGs.

Did a lil sketch of my new Quasar character Malice before I get to sculpting them.
Malice is a Strigforan who escaped the order of the Black Diamond to become a very dedicated member of the Unseelie and a priest of the old gods.

the image shows a rough sketch of a humanoid bird wearing a canine skull mask, they're draped in long robes

you can kinda go straight to the three movies actually, there's more in the episodes but as far as I know its mostly filler or cameos of new mechs they wanted to sell toys of

🇵🇸 Arcane Whiskers 🇵🇸 @arcanewhiskers.bsky.social · 4d

honestly that is such a vibe

Update on this, looks like Discord was very quietly banned in the whole country, thank the gods for VPNs...

🇵🇸 Arcane Whiskers 🇵🇸 @arcanewhiskers.bsky.social · 7d

Well discord seems to be down in Jordan for some reason... really hoping this is very temporary

So Gundam shows are either part of the universal century (UC) timeline or their own alternate timelines like Wing. UC gets better the more of them you've watched since you get a lot more of the context and lore, I haven't watched CQuuuux but it being a UC show explains why you might feel a bit lost.

🇵🇸 Arcane Whiskers 🇵🇸 @arcanewhiskers.bsky.social · 11d

The cubone bracelet is ready !
honestly I should do more low poly pokemon stuff, they work so nicely with 3d printing.

the center prongs are so weird that it's got me wondering if he AI generated the design before sending it in for manufacturing 😹

I try to just plan encounters with failure in mind, if it's meant to be quite dangerous but I dont want to lose all the player characters then ill have someone save them for a chance at an injury roll instead of death, otherwise it could be a chance for a new party or even an end to a campaign.

Terfs are so fucking stupid that it's legitimately hard to know if they genuinely believe their own narrative or not.
Awesome paint job btw, love the way you shaded the pink that couldn't have been easy!

I got to GM some new players from my mini painting group, gave them a nice satisfying fight against some mercenaries after they got a job in a karaoke bar, and they got really excited when they realized how powerful they actually were with their abilities!

Thinking about working on the enemy book today, and aside from some things that need patching up I want to make some really annoying surveillance and explosive drone enemies. Thank you irl horrors for once again inspiring my evil corporate sci-fi ones.

The same has been true for Quasar even though it's a free game, like you can see the analytics on itch .io folks dont even view the page let alone download it when I share it in stuff like selfpromosaturday posts.

🇵🇸 Arcane Whiskers 🇵🇸 @arcanewhiskers.bsky.social · 13d

But ngl it's very easy to stop loving it if your focus shifts away from heart and soul to money. I will also say that on the business front 9/10 times someone buys my models after I share pics it's because I was talking about them in casual conversation, straight up ads do next to nothing. -

🇵🇸 Arcane Whiskers 🇵🇸 @arcanewhiskers.bsky.social · 13d

tbh this is why I find it so hard to advertise my work in any way, I dont want my art to be a product, it's just the awful consequence of capitalism that so many of us have to monetize our art somehow if we want to survive while doing what we love.-

alright next time I have artblock im sculpting a fish, I shall report back with results

🇵🇸 Arcane Whiskers 🇵🇸 @arcanewhiskers.bsky.social · 14d

Pleasantly surprised today with an experiment involving Quasar's GMless combat, the party was way too big for combat to not slow down so I split them into two groups with two seperate maps and left the more experienced group to treat the mission like a skirmish without a GM. It all went so smoothly!
