fantasy map illustration depicting a landscape full of ragged mountains up and down, crossed by crooked roads, some on giant stone structures. There is a valley with hills and woods to the south, a desert with wretched lands just east of it, wetlands to the west and east with flooded cities and temples, snowy plains to the northeast with a giant skeleton and tree and an impossibly tall mountain in the northwest whose peak is obscured by dark clouds. a fantasy map illustration depicting a continent with a bigger mainland and a large island to the west of it. the biomes go from snowy mountains, a vast wetland, grasslands with many hills. the prevalent features here is that it is crossed by many rivers in all directions and it is surrounded by a the shades of a vast submarine landscape that where part of this land before a big flood catastrophe. colourful drawing of an island crossed by a mountain range, rivers and forests scattered around. a planar map in the shape of a compass rose. The direction arrows are the four classical elemental planes with the material plane in the centre and several layers of other planes of existence around it.

Simple drawing of a green bird with red belly and yellow beak open. Pastel-colored musical notes are coming from the bird's mouth. The style is very cartoonish and flat. Photo realistic digital painting of a turkey vulture perched on a tree branch. The bird's feathers shine with many shades of deep purple to highlights of tan and it has a red face.

So this happened…

I am White Wolf’s new Lead Game Designer!

I will figure out how to post the whole text here, but there is a picture with the announcement and the alt text has the full thing!

#TTRPG #RPGLATAM #VtM #WoD #DnD #NotDnD #ShowYourWork
Fake it until you make it as they say. And I’ve been playing the role of a TTRPG game designer for about 12 years! Now the mask has become my very nature. I am going to play the Masquerade game with vampires, for real. After years of working as an independent game designer, like a good Anarch, I joined the Camarilla. I am now the Lead Game Designer at White Wolf, the legendary publisher that made me realize TTRPGs could be about a lot more than killing monsters. I can be one of them, and surprisingly be even more human! The first book I ever read in English was Vampire: The Dark Ages, and now I get to work as a game designer full time for the first time with the World of Darkness? I couldn’t be happier! To live and breathe the universe of Vampire, Werewolf, Mage, Hunter, Changeling, Wraith, and all other games every day, and be able to collaborate in shaping its future is a dream come true. These games were formative in my TTRPG industry, in the Brazilian TTRPG community, and are incredibly relevant to this day. Especially these days I would say. And with me I am bringing my game design philosophy of “playing more with less” to help make the game more accessible while honoring the more than 30 years of World of Darkness! I just want everyone to enjoy the game as much as they can, with as little effort as they can afford. Oh, and I am still an Anarch at heart, don’t worry!

Although @salvaterra.bsky.social absolutely must have a personal shout out. His stock art features heavily in the draft and not only was the face of the project but also inspired much of what has been planned and written. His Patreon is cheap and generous. Please consider supporting him in his work.

From a new paper in Nature.... Satellite light pollution is becoming a major problem. If it continues at this rate, this is what our deep space telescope images of the universe will look like.

One of my joys is visiting dark sky parks... and nwo you can't go without seeing many satellites.
Fig. 2: Simulated effects of satellite trails in Hubble, SPHEREx, Xuntian and ARRAKIHS. figure 2 a–d, Simulated exposure for Hubble (a), SPHEREx (b), Xuntian (c) and ARRAKIHS (d) space observatories, showing sectors affected by satellite trail contamination. The satellite trails represent the effects of the planned satellites using the orbital and physical parameters of the announced constellations to be operational by 2040 (Fig. 3). Background galaxies were modelled on the basis of previous studies34,35. Full images can be accessed at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15707680 (ref. 36) and also see Extended Data Figs. 8–11.
