It would be such a missed opportunity to not talk about the journaling game zines I've published on this platform where you actually see the posts by people you follow.

It also comes with a bonus game called "count the fonts".
Playing The Magus is a big part of what started me deep into journaling games. If you haven't been able to afford it, now's your chance. It takes just 2ish hours to play and I think you'll have fun.
The Magus was featured in a popular TikTok, and people have been really supporting the game.
To celebrate this milestone, 100 community copies are now available—no need to email anymore. Get a free copy of the Magus in just a single click.

Dionysus, the sensual god of ecstasy, wine, and madness

What, in your opinion, is the actual end goal or "purpose" of playing a TTRPG?
This is for an in-progress writing project and would really love input (via replies, quotes, and/or shares).

Sometimes a game just tears its way out of me with evocative and compelling writing, like Two Raw Morsels. And sometimes, like the one I drafted yesterday, the juice is in the procedures and I'm going to struggle to find compelling language.

I describe "write to find out" in every one of my journaling game zines, and still I think people think it's just an evocative way to say "make it up". I hope my examples in The Ink That Bleeds show that it's not you "make it up". I think you really don't know what the experience is like until...

I won't lie this took SO many years and was the MOST complicated thing I've ever illustrated. I did all of the artwork in Procreate with like 2 or 3 brushes, I'm unbelievably proud of it.
Thank you, @cameowood.com for believing in me to pull off a project like this, and for making it all possible!

Introduce yourself with 5 animals you've seen in the wild:
Elk
(being chased/followed by an elk is scarier than you might think)(they're huge)
Bighorn sheep
Crow
Whitetail deer
Redtail hawk
(I almost put Bison, but I saw them in a wildlife preserve, so not exactly "in the wild")

Making a game/zine and selling and mailing it to people as stamped letter mail feels more like conversation, more like human interaction than any social media platform.
