Resurrecting my dead boyfriend by murdering random men in the same room where he was dragged to hell to experience eternal pleasure and pain combined is my love language.

If someone starts talking about diversity and inclusion…

And your immediate response is, β€œWhy are you so obsessed with diversity and inclusion…”

YOU are a big reason they’re talking about diversity and inclusion.

I really enjoyed most of The Walking Dead TV show, but killing Carl was a gigantic mistake. And I will stand by that belief.

So much of Rick's personal struggle was with how to care for his son and raise him in a world where he was rarely allowed to be "just a kid."

There’s an episode where she goes home to receive the key to the city (or some sort of award) and the opening scene featuring Peshtigo alderman/mayor nominating her has the correct town seal on the wall.

I wonder how many slow-moving birds get tagged by slow-moving baseballs. Like, are we going to see some videos of the kids playing in the backyard and one of them throws the ball and PAFF!

An asset created for the Shadows Over Sol 2e kickstarter that shows early mockups that I created for all of the products included in their Mega Bundle backer tier.

These include: The core rulebook, a 3 supplimental books, custom poker chips, a deck of playing cards, a bespoke deck of cards called "consequence cards", a GM screen, a PDF mockup of the first edition of the game, a fold-up Map of the Sol System, a set of 6 metal polyhedral d10 dice, and packaging for the box set.

Mockup of a black-jack style fabric table for Brotherwise Games GenCon booth featuring Super Boss Monster art. The table shows pixel art of numerous monsters over a fire background, with a clean Super Boss Monster logo on centered on top of it. The side view of the table shows the fire are wrapping around and the Brotherwise Games logo over the tagline "Games that bring everyone to the table."

A mockup of multiple open copies of the Omega Horizon core rule book open to 3 different spreads. The first features a reptilian alien race know as the Dachians. The left page contains a full page illustration of one of these characters with an overlay containing some basic information. The facing pafe contains more details about this race. The second book is open to the Chapter 7 intro spread. It features a full-spread, colorful, and chaotic illustration of some kind of sci-fi motorcycle race with a vehicle crashing and exploding in the background. There is a small overlay on the bottom of the right page that contains the beginning paragraph of the intro fiction for this chapter. The final book is open to one of the planet spreads. It features a full page illustration of space with a green and ochre colored planet centered on the left page. There is an overlay with more details about this planet but it is obscured by the first book which sits on top of this one. The right page contains further info about the planet.

I'm once again open for new project commissions.

Book Layouts, Logos, Con booth materials, Kickstarter Assets, Card Decks, GM Screens, Package Design.

With 20+ years of experience in graphic design and 9 in the tabletop industry, I can tackle pretty much anything your game needs and then some.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!

NerdBurger Games will have a small booth at UK Games Expo this year.

While I won't be in attendance, five UK fans will be staffing the booth and introducing many Brits to NBG. Big thanks to my staffers. Here's hoping we sell out of everything.

Only way to be sure.

Has anyone ever attended one of those "What's New for <game company>" or "What's Coming Up for <game company>" panels at GenCon or another con? What sorts of things do they roll into such seminars?

Few things reinforce the existence of mediocre white dudes failing upwards more than Jared Leto's continued go-to/leading man status after piles of terrible performances and box office bombs with him in the lead.

Wouldn't it be amazing if Jem'Hadar and Klingon sexy times were really sensitive and caring and loving?

Like, all about battle or honor or whatever in their outward lives, but they get super schmoopy when they're intimate and getting it on.

Make it canon!

Yep. Outrage is often a performance and doesn’t create an action plan.

Welcome to yet another thing that makes small press publishing incredibly difficult. <sigh>
