Time for a re-introduction! I'm Kat Kruger, a narrative game designer, author, and professional game master available for freelance or contract work. Let's connect: linktr.ee/krugerkat For general creative support, please consider becoming a patron at patreon.com/KatKruger.
Adam did an incredible job on the layout and design of The Cub!
I worked with @katkruger.bsky.social on The Cub, an adventure for Eberron — it's a take on a very familiar story through a variety of environments and social situations!

Help! I can no longer use Bluesky on a web browser because of an age verification requirement that also will not allow me to add my birthdate. Is this a widespread issue and will it eventually lock me out of my app also? 😭

FREELANCER TIP: THE 25% RULE!
The MOMENT payment hits your bank account, calculate 25% of the value of the invoice and then transfer that amount immediately to a savings account and DO NOT TOUCH IT. THAT'S FOR TAXES. Then pay yourself the remaining 75%. Account for this when determining rates!!!

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.
