It's been an absolutely brutal period for the games industry, and every studio closure brings more rage and sadness. Rightly so. This is the first time I've seen a studio closure feel so much like a funeral, or celebration of life. Hats off to Bioware. God, we'll miss you.

Look. There are artists who can do without reference. They're incredible. I'm happy for them. They're wizards. The rest of us though:

Use reference. I’m serious. I get it that somehow you or someone convinced you that using reference is “cheating.” It’s not. You are just hindering yourself.

Sometimes being an adult is just the desperate relief of confirming there is still toilet roll in the house and that you don't have to add another item to your to do list.

I'm so deep into season of the witch that i'm now dreaming about building DnD stat blocks. Which isn't great because that's maths, and I can't actually sleep while doing maths.

After digging through 300 portfolios, this seems to be a hard ask. I am looking to LICENSE (paid) an image appropriate for a tidal witch. Female character, with elements around the moon and/or water. Non-anime style. If you have this in your portfolio and have the right to license it, please shout!

It’s been a busy witch week! All contracts and art briefs have been sent out. The first draft of the adventure is complete. We’ve reached out to everyone who backed a tier with custom content. We’ve recorded the first pass of the Blood Price. I've caught at least 90% of the confetti. It’s all go.

Exciting news - Herbarium is coming to @DNDBeyond.com! Add your foraged findings to your inventory, find and make craftable items with ease, and find Herbarium's new spells, subclasses, creatures, & more fully integrated into the D&D Beyond system. Even better - it's now also compatible with 5.5e!

Okay, due to one very generous person (on top of all the OTHER generous people!! <3) the last stretch goal would technically be possible. This would be 20 backers .... or the last available spell scroll plus the last three custom spells.

We're counting down in minutes now.... there are two levels of stress above this. Eventually it starts counting down in seconds..... and then those seconds turn red.

A little campaign transparency for a Sunday - if we want to get the mini setting guide done, that's 81 backers all backing at base level. Just over half that if people go for The Forest. It's a lot for 54 hours, but ... it's not impossible. 😶 witchstarter.co.uk

To distract you all from MY self promo for a minute, Kate's super cool and funny family friendly comic has 28 minutes to go. This is like 15 years of work, coming to an end. I love it and you would too.
