Coming soon: Overzealous: Your cult has no chill!
A pen-and-paper solo RPG about some overenthusiastic cultists… and you, the god they’ll summon if they can just stay focused.
www.kickstarter.com
In my latest test game of #Overzealous I amassed quite the heap of psychic imminence despite ongoing schisms. In the end, my cultists got too distracted making tentacle monsters fight Pokemon-style to actually summon their god into the world.

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far
i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

None of the US Library of Congress links from catalog entries to their Prints & Photographs Online Catalog work (at least in my browser). Annoying, but at least they have these cute 404 pages

Two ogres sprawled out in a cave with a huge squirming bag, smoking mids
This is already growing on me, because I can ABSOLUTELY see everyone shortening it to "mids", which makes it even better.
“Midfolk” is such an on-point name for fantasy humans.
