Japan has been lovely so far. Really lucky I could return here.
I've been forcing myself to take photos. The filter is helping me get into a vibe state and not stress too much.
Dimly lit underground shopping street in Asakusa. No one is around, the stores are mostly closed and a safety cone warns of rusty water puddles. Staircase to the underground shopping street in Asakusa. The florescent tube lighting and walls gives a yellow green hue to the photo. An empty hallway from a Japanese train station. The yellow vision-impaired guide marker tiles disappear around an equally empty tunnel. A telephone/power pole leaning under the strain of many boxes and wires.

Thank you @lynarinya.bsky.social for the skin-tone recolour of my Live2D model! 💚

Its another step towards feeling more comfortable with how I present myself online.

I was reminded of this and now I wish to forget

Completely forgot I might've been given an alpha playtester credit for Draw Steel!
I'm very happy to have been a part of it. 💚

I rushed to make a trifold adventure site for the #BreathlessJam2!
Although its a bit rough, I am very proud of it and actually publishing it! I'm just happy I made a little stealth-focused library crawl. :D

Really happy with the amount of work done within the stream, even if a large part of it was just figuring out what I wanted to do.
I'm aiming to get at least two submissions done for the #BreathlessJam2

Had a visceral reaction seeing the 'Made by Humans' logo on a TTRPG cover with very obvious AI imagery plastered on it. They even credit an 'artist'.

I was hoping they didn't realise, but then please don't write "I'm no AI fan, but..." in your human book!

The page break on the 'but' is perfect.
Excerpt from TTRPG book that has the 'Made by Humans' logo on the cover: "I am not a huge AI fan, but" -- it is then cut off due to a page break, which is amazing placement. No notes.

Was confused by all the player join notifications. The webinar emails just went live!
Interested in improving your thumbnail art skills? I'm hosting a couple webinars on @startplaying.bsky.social!

Another day of Fabula Ultima! Let's see how my players continue to survive against their first proper boss fight!
An 'Ally arrives to help' timer is ticking down, but can they hold out until then?
A classic JRPG style battle screen of three player characters and one ally NPC versus a battle mage professor, sturdy construct guard, and one gunpowder pirate bird and monkey. The player characters and npc have many debuff status conditions applied to them, with low magic points to help with spellcasting.

I've been experimenting with new encounters and making custom maps for my Season of Ghost games.
A recent favourite was a 'haunted house' encounter with largely only Haunts. Toppling Furniture, Ghostly Steps, Cold Change, Slamming Doors, and a Spider Swarm in the toilet. Players had a great time!
