So. This is what separates a good translator from a mediocre one.

A mediocre translator looks at the word. Then translates the word. They have no knowledge of context beyond the word.

A good translator knows that words carry information. The word itself is not important. What is important is (1)

Project for Awesome Join the annual charity drive to decrease worldsuck.

I didn't have time to make a Project for Awesome video this year. But it is a great project to raise money for charities. Give it a view, see if there are any charities you want to support!

Illustration of a purple-scaled kobold with glowing red eyes, psionically projecting a glowing red shield and several glowing red javelins. Above them it says "Kobold Ancestry". In the bottom left corner, it says "Powered by Draw Steel".

After months of hard work and many evenings giggling as I turned wacky kobold prompts into stat blocks, I'm thrilled to announce that version 1.0 is ready!

If you got it on Itch, you can download the new version from the Itch page. If you got it on Backerkit, a download email should go out soon. 🧡

Pencil sketch of two tree frogs crouching. The one on the right, forward a bit, is in a breastplate and is proudly raising a sword to the sky, with his other hand in a fist at his chest. The one in the back on the left is in typical bard attire with a puffy-shouldered shirt and playing a lute that says β€œEpifrog” on the headstock. The bard is wearing a little crown.
