Spells are living demons. Everybody knows that. But you know how vampires have to count grains of rice that you drop? Spells have to read. That's why you trap them in books. The writing on parchment is a labyrinth the spells are walking, trapped, until you're ready for them.

An image showing a book on a table. The text reads "Spirit Box" "Find the ghosts, learn their story, keep your soul" and "Avalible On Itch.io"

New #TTRPG!

Spirit Box is a spooky LARP that emulates YouTube ghost hunting videos and Found Footage horror movies.

Can your group of ghost hunters work out how to put the spirits to rest?

Or will they be possessed by a less-than-friendly spirit?

If you're looking for a m/m high fantasy romance with a slow(ish) burn, a mmc on the ace and ND spectrum, with dragons, kind of Valdemar/Dragonlance vibes...you might like this :>

I wanna buy a new desk mat with cool art. Everywhere I look is flooded with obvious AI art products. Is there a marketplace that verifies art on products is human made? Do any cool artists on here sell desk mats with their art on them? I need help!

have created my first PC using Kettlewright. was fun to automate all that rolling :)
stopped when I ended up with this awesome PC portrait

It is a seriously sweet piece of software - yochai's continued support of Cairn is an inspiration

8 of the handful of drawings available to my Patreon subscribers! Plus there's games and the like. And mailed art prints and zines! Doing a restructure beginning of Sept. Some pieces will be moved to higher tiers.
If you want to directly support a maker, have a look!

I think board & video games have the convenience of obvious affordances. Video games = you just can’t do what’s not accommodated. Board games = the board implies what can and should be done. TTRPGs live in our heads and have no rails, so explaining how to engage with that is helpful.

An ink drawing of a bipedal dragon against a dark forest backdrop. I’m the foreground there’s a pile of skulls and a sword on the ground.

I don’t know where else to post these so I guess I’ll start sharing some of my doodles here.

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

Super cool! Do you have examples of the format you’re looking for? The rules say it should fill front/back of one sheet, but also must fold into a book with a cover, and that’s new to me so I’m not sure how I’d approach that.

Saint Witold's Bell by Perplexing Ruins Adventure for Shadowdark RPG

I hit publish on this today!

-Controversial price: thinking more about how much time I put into something, and if I want to make a living or not.

- Controversial art design: i know, it's not Shadowdark, grim, inky, lichey etc.

Did a lot of playtesting of my one page RPG jam sub, will continue using that and try to run solo through your Saint Witold’s Bell adventure! Also plan on ordering Shadowdark to read. And will continue my monthly Ironsworn game.
