Keeping in mind that today is #PortfolioDay, and since a lot of my projects underway are starmaps in association with members of @tranquilitypress.bsky.social ...

Maybe next year, I can also include some of my comics-formatted illustration?

If I had a nickel for every time the canonicity of a Star Trek Online ship has been announced by an New York Comic Con trailer for a Star Trek TV show, I'd have two nickels.

Which isn't a lot, but it's fucking awesome that it's happened twice. 🧵

TrekCaptains. After some thought it occurred to me to share this with Tranquility press, the group supporting @eomproject.bsky.social and @wolf359project.bsky.social. maybe I found a place to get the support to realize this.... Finally.

Norsehound @norsehound.bsky.social · Mar 19

TrekCaptains. Anyone following me forever on twitter knows this is a passion project... probably my biggest and most involved game design project I've done. Attempts to retheme it only spawned spinoffs, creating a related family instead of a translation. I'm picking it up again.

Board game prototype spread of TrekCaptains. This is version 6 or so.
