Howdy, It's been a while. I've steadily been working on finishing volume 1 of my #shadowdark zine. I've come very far since releasing the alpha without art a few months ago. Between finding creative commons art to hack, finding some good stock art and making some myself, I can see the finish line!

An apt symbol for the State of Texas right now. The State flag torn and tangled over power lines.
We had a horrible and sudden storm yesterday that caused destruction all over Austin.

If you’re into #manga this reads like a modern Call of Cthulhu scenario. Eldritch beings and spirits, a mysterious cult from Japanese antiquity, a classic investigation with dangerous potential.
It’s good stuff!

Hosting a short game night at my favorite coffee spot in Austin Tx. It’ll be a trial run, because the shop needs to schedule a closer for a later shift, which is based on sales in that time period. I’m hoping the closer can shut the store at 9 and we keep playing til 10.

My friends, my first #Shadowdark zine project is close to being finished!
Just a bit of writing for a few monsters and then it’s off to filling 28 pages with spot illustrations and “adventurer notes”
Once completed I’ll offer it on my Itch(dot)io page w/ POD offered once I figure that out.

You can send timeanddate.com feedback. This message pops up regarding missing holidays. I think it’d be a glaring omission to exclude calendars and holidays from the U.S. but hey I’m not a small tech company hyper focused on time and dates which is being thrown under the bus by the largest tech co.

While their alibi makes sense, pride month and BHM are pretty big staples to just let go to the wayside. You mean to tell me it’s IMPOSSIBLE for the geniuses at GOOGLE to program two historic months in any of the 365 days they work on shit???

I’m currently enjoying this via the Libby app. You just need a library card and many cities, like Houston Tx, offer free library cards. Cheers

Here's the first iteration for my "Yorsethi Archer" class featured in my #ShadowDark zine, "Falezir: An Adventurer's Guide Volume 1"
Looking for feedback. Please comment with ideas.
Already thinking of a way to further integrate this into my world of Falezir using the in-setting magic item system

I fear I’ve entered an Ethel Cain, Phoebe Bridgers, boygenius era.
I’m living for the ethereal, doom, religious, noise album “Perverts” by Ethel Cain right now.

I’m doing a lot of preliminary work to eventually start streaming my projects. I’m trying to think of anything that will make my streams better.
Any thoughts on my checklist?

I live for mornings like this.
Working on finishing touches for tonight’s D&D session. We’re using Humblewood with a homebrew setting.
Tonight’s session will likely involve a confrontation with the power-hungry King and his allies in the grand archives.

Thank you @bsky.app for giving me a convenient list of words to look up and determine if I’m muting or not.
Immediate mute, SG S2.
I’m sure it’ll be good, but the fallout from the last season still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
That reminded me to mute Mr. Beast as well 😩

A shady customer throws down a rough coin purse onto your table. What payment comes spilling out of it and what are they hiring you to do?
