Been on the road a few days now! Anything helps, gas prices are not nice to me!

a piece of paper with scraps of various photos cards and other things laid out in the shape of a few paragraphs

A wordless RPG containing the instructions for the creation and destruction of itself, which were then followed to the letter (Mixed Media, February 2026)

societies typically talk about human cognition as working similarly to whatever is seen as the latest and greatest technology. that’s why we currently describe the brain as a roguelike deckbuilding game about characters making their way up a spire

It was more an attempt at light self deprication for falling into some similar traps since I started putting my writing out there, but I apreciate it might read a little flippant without the nuance of tone.

Some Disco portraits finished! I have slots available <3

not even a bit :)

fucked up here. roots in wargaming should really be changed to "look at my award winning kitbashing skills"

Working on getting a bingo

cannibalism zine inbound end of week

GRDN BLW DT TXTR by Juniper Harper Lark Textures through a scanner dirtly

Ever wanted to steal the gritty textures I use in my zine and ttrpg work? Good news! I've uploaded a little tasting platter to my itch. Dig in girlypops.

Hear me out; what if instead of a big monster manual you had loads and loads and loads of small ones each focussed on one particular kind of freaky guy, and each fit on a 1 cut 1 sheet a4 zine?

Another lil preview to show process. Its kinda amazing how a simple sketch jumps to life once its been crunched up in post.

Decided to give the blog a new lick of paint to match the vibes im putting across in DQ&Ds release. Also features a lil sneak at the art i've put together for the mortified saint that'll be in the first drop of monsters.

Sketched out the rules and descriptions for Seven Deaths, Greay Maidens, the Condemmed, Mortified Saints, Choristers, and the Twiceborn today. Gonna try and get some witch stuff and some bog critters to go with them and update the itch with that tasting plater of monsters early next week.

D36 backgrounds is such a satisfying little slice of a game world though! Its a just big enough set that you kinda have to start pushing yourself to get weird with it and define the strange edges of a setting.

Is this about the nightborne, darkfallen, nightfallen, fellborne, fell blooded, or the void dwelling ren'dorei because its a little hard to keep track if im honest

Being explained WoW lore by some friends. Apparently most of this is just wells, blowing up wells, and wells that make elves, and things that get locked away for 10'000 years for various elf well based reasons.

I should get back into beat saber. I think a rythme game might trick me into exercise lmao.

b/w analogue photo of a shopping estate at night. the paint is peeling, and only one unit is lit.

big update to violence. shooting is better. melee is better. cleaned up and split up. expect a bunch more violence shit in june '26.

The rules and rulesets you create don't have to answer to people who don't choose to use them. They have to answer to the people who do choose to use them.

The fun thing about writing for Violence the last few days is that the system falls almost entirely into the background and I can just write very naturally. A mundane and modern setting helps even more because we all know the world so I can focus on the interesting aspects, the odd characters, etc.

I leave in the morning for this, help me help my girls!

The stats are looking okay, if on the lower side. If you really need to succeed on something gathering appropriate gear or finding the right approach to use a skill is essential. Fail to prepare for danger, and you'll almost never have even 50/50 odds. Gear is the lifeline. Dredge for it often.

A character sheet on grid paper with a symbol of a hunter, a horned figure, and a face. The header indicates it's from a tabletop system in development called Dredge Quick & Drown.

I'm outrageously jazzed for Dredge Quick & Drown. I thought the former mayor class was a bit odd and the dice decided to goof on me. Gonna do some solo play and wallow in all the vibes. Looking great @juniperhl.bsky.social

Anyone reading, check it out.

I finish make my top 9 games list featuring dark souls 2, i scroll down a single post, its this one. lmao.

I forgot to add heaven will be mine but its like, foundational, to my whole deal. So just imagine its the entire background of this one. I'd probably demote metal gear or silksong for it.

As a post release treat, im toying around with my first batch of monster stat blocks for DQ&D. Likely going to focus on a few particularly weird bits of ecology.

Saluting. I've lurked on the edges of similar scenes for a *very* long time. Come to peace after attempting that style of fiction that what I want to make (ratty collaged zine things and TTRPG stuff) will differ from what I enjoy (freak shit).

The "sort of like" description here is reason enough to check this out imo.

Oh yeah its a huge influence. The fractuered metaphysics of the mire and the rampant magical subjectivity is *all* Southern Reach vibes. If you want to understand Witches: attempt to understand The Biologist.
