I had not seen this before, but this is cool to find:
Oh man, that sweet sweet #GOZR character generator built by @claytonian.bsky.social rocks so hard.
Hadn't clicked in a minute. This time I got Bix, a bit of a wizard with a mohawk who needs to slay a giant.

Check out this slick #GOZR font based on my hand-lettering from the #TTRPG.
Yes, I am OK with this. I love it!

Made a GOZR font to use for my Appendix N Jam game. JV West liked it, so I'm making it available on itch.io

I've got gooz on my mind lately.
This is one of the button designs that went with the crowdfunding campaign in 2022.
GOZR is my favorite thing I've ever done, to be honest. I mean, Black Pudding is right there too. But this is special in a different way.

In a cooperative hobby like ours, let us raise each other up, pierce Obscurity's sorcerous mists, and push back the Juggernaut of Indifference.
We talk. We share. We play. We take breaks, but we never stop creating.

It would, in many ways, probably be easier if the world actually disliked their stuff. That at least gives something to push against.
But we are all primarily battling obscurity and indifference. They are our competition, not one another.

idk I don’t think any game jam or competition should allow AI art. I have a billion other reasons why I’m against using that stuff to make games but it especially seems to go against the spirit of making something for a jam where things can be messier and more personal

Getting ready to run the Chrome Messiah adventure (Appendix N Jam) for GOZR at RFT con.
One week until I'm running a session of GOZR for RFTcon 2025. If it stays with just a couple people for the event, I'm thinking about having them each play 2 characters, to have a chance to mess around with more stuff. Presently making pre-gens with crib sheets.

Appendix N Jam results for the public voting are in.
Not being oriented towards 5e was almost certainly a detriment for it, so I can't complain about the ranking.
I do note that the art was ranked #60, so considerably higher than the overall ranking, and I will definitely take that.
