6-year-old reads a fairytale with the concept of “a deal with the devil” for the first time Me, trying to explain it: Well. You know how in K-Pop Demon Hunters, Gwi-Ma makes a deal with Jinu

Jimothy is a zoog, not a raccoon

This game looks so cool!

Cool site

My spouse grew up watching Arabic-dubbed anime (the dubbing industry then was in Iraq, and was eventually decimated by sanctions after Gulf War 1.... :( ). They recall being a child, seeing people using chopsticks in anime, and wondering what part of the Arab world these strange utensils were from

Great read. A good part of the anime openings from around the world panel I put together this past summer was discovering how many Arabic anime OP songs were jams, whether they were faithful (grendizer) or original (captain majid)

Echoes of Mnareth, a system-neutral microsetting with great isometric-ish art, is being kickstarted by @swordfishpress.bsky.social (who did the excellent Hot Spring Islands -- this however is by a new creator) #ttrpg www.kickstarter.com/projects/pan...

When you look back at decades you can see how each one has a style of stories: a ‘50s movie/book is different from a ‘60s movie/book from ‘70s then ‘80s etc. But now that I’m getting old I realize definitely out-of-touch people were still writing & pitching ‘50s style stuff in the ‘70s

Three points of contention led to the failure of the latest rounds of Lebanese-Israeli negotiations.

The description of demons in the Dreamland roleplaying game is primarily inspired by the writings of Marco Polo, where he describes pretty much every religion he hasn’t heard of as worshipping demons

IT'S alive!!! This is an absolute dream come true and a hight point of my long art career. You should absolutely get a copy! pspublishing.co.uk/the-kith-of-... pspublishing.co.uk/the-kith-of-...

The Attic podcast does a 20-minute segment on my upcoming #dnd book “Dungeons! Illustrated Maps of Classic D&D Adventures”! Give it a listen! #ttrpg 🎲

Dragon Kings: The Return of Dark Sun – October 2026 edition of THE ATTIC out web-wide. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Today I learned that the first 29 or so of the "Lone Wolf" books (choose-your-own-adventure style books, where you have stats and keep track of your equipment and such) were made available free online by the author: www.projectaon.org/en/Main/Books

Deciding that since it’s a world of infinite islands, Pokémon is the same as Christopher Priest’s Dream Archipelago. Also working hard to make the most obscure fiction references ever

Most illustrations of Lord Dunsany’s “Miss Cubbidge and the Dragon of Romance” (there are not many) draw the title character as middle-aged and/or frumpy because, probably, her name is Cubbidge. I must mention however that the text says she is about 18 and wearing a “low-necked evening dress”

Scientifically pokeballs only capture beings without a soul

Do Pokémon possess some particular quality which allows Pokeballs to catch them, or do commercial Pokeballs simply have the human-capturing feature disabled

Sometimes you’re like the person who dies in the horror movie. Sometime you get away. Anyway that’s my deep thoughts on trauma

In an old interview, Kazushi Hagiwara, creator of the manga "Bastard!!", mused about how he'd like to spend time on pure art technique like drawing steam rising from a coffee cup, but he has to draw other stuff to make money. I too would like be able to spend hours perfectly drawing steam ☕

I’ve always wanted to nonironically use the phrase “what am I, chopped liver?”

Israel — not the Israel lobby, AIPAC, but the state of Israel — is running TV ads in Iowa: @andrewperez.bsky.social @zeteo.com

Couldn't decide between two facial designs for a dragon so I basically layered them over eachother transparently in ProCreate and adjusted the lines until it was sorta in the middle

Lowkey doing illustrations for a couple of Lord Dunsany stories

<sarcasm> considering Brock’s pervy personality in Pokémon, it is surprising they never leaned into the ‘ethnic exoticism’ angle and had him opining over the differences between Johto girls & Indigo girls and how he’d really like to get with someone from Alola. They really missed their chance </s>

This guy is really good and I love his art

Good news about humanity: even a tiny child can separate imagination from reality! I know this because our kids have talked a thousand times about eating poop or pooping on things but they have always known never to do it 👍

Our daughter referred to an imaginary land called Alubania. Son (3 years) is now talking about “Southanorthica”

It's absolutely wild to see how many people are in support of this. I usually think slippery slope is one of the lazier arguments but come on how is this not just obviously a way to get people comfortable with them banning content before expanding the categories to anything they want?

"The Attic" (with Paul Maclean, Marty Jopson & @chrislackey.bsky.social ) did a 20-minute segment on my upcoming book of #dnd maps/cartoons, "Dungeons!" :D Thanks guys! #ttrpg
