The fact that I get paid to read and play such wonderful creations is a joy that never gets old. This morning is @ema-acosta.com's Crescent (by @mythworks.bsky.social ) and Space Gits by Mike from @planetsmashergames.bsky.social

Challenge: Quote this post describing the kinds of games you make with a single image. I will start.

Riga, Latvia

After playing @austinwalker.bsky.social's Realis, my suspicion that this game is the heading for a new chapter in tabletop design has turned into belief. Instead of dreaming, an alternate ruleset came to me last night. Here is the gist of it: thepsychicmaelstrom.pika.page/posts/silaer...

Also, I'm considering briefly taking paid illustration work (sketches, etc.) as a way of getting a bit of extra money. If you're interested feel free to get in touch

Lovely play report writing from Sean here

if you are any kind of creative or artist or writer you *have* to understand sex workers and porn/erotica artists/authors as being members of the same class as us. to the extent society recognizes a difference between "legitimate" art and porn, it's only as a tenuous, convenient, temporary fiction.

THEN: A practical guide to turbofighters, written by the supreme @ema-acosta.com. So fun.

Today I am obsessesing over the covers of E. R. Eddison's "The Worm Ouroboros" and later Zimiamvian Trilogy illustrated by native midwesterner Barbara Remington. Just an absolutely phenomenal house style for Ballantine Books.

thepsychicmaelstrom.pika.page/posts/on-why... In the wake of Crescent 2e's Ennie nomination, I've written a new blog post about awards, chronic pain, and immigration

If anyone is getting smacked with this - just use deer.social or another alternate client. Bsky is just an AT Protocol Client, and your Bsky account is an AT Protocol account - you can use your same Bsky account thru another AT Protocol Client, no migration or loss necessary. Could not be easier.
