I saw this cat and it made me laugh so I had to draw it. Now producing 100 prints with £5 from each sale going to Cats Protection You can get a Dumb Cat Glass print here: www.infinitebacon.com/shop/p/dumbc... Thank you!

Really cool review of my in development #TTRPG Brighter Worlds! @klintron.com quickly gets to the essence of the game, what I'm trying to do with it, offers some thoughtful critique, and even manages to squeeze in some extremely helpful playtest feedback!

My review of Brighter Worlds, the rules lite with "modular crunch" OSR RPG/Into the Odd hack by @awkwardturtle.games kidminotaur.com/brighter-wor... The basic idea is to bridge the gap between GMs and players who want rules lite and players who want lotsa character options and fiddly bits.

Brighter Worlds RPG review based on actual playkidminotaur.com We played the playtest of this OSR game based on Into the Odd and it’s actually pretty awesome.

It took me *checks calendar* five months, but I finally got the excellent @alexcoggon.bsky.social artwork I picked up at PAXU framed and hung! I asked the framers to make it look like the sort of framed, explorer sketches you'd find hung in an old timey sitting room, and I'm so pleased with it.

I had a ton of fun doing layout for this! If you're looking for a small, offbeat, slightly anachronistic fantasy adventure bursting with humor and charm, this is a good one!

Shortly before TTRPG designer Jennell Jaquays died, OSR blogger Justin Alexander, who once named Jennell's dungeon drawing techniques after her, started trying to erase her legacy, and rename that style after himself. I reject Justin's bad faith arguments for this, and celebrate Jaquaysian design.
