Tales of Woe from the Orphaned Sock Drawer
GET REKT!
(Respect, empathy, kindness, tenderness)
I just want someone to love me like my father-in-law's financial advisor loves him.
Gaston and Kronk buddy movie when?
Amazing! I'd love to hear how it goes!
Me, playing Ark Nova:
You know, I don't really care about the conclave itself, I just like to watch for the ads.
Screenshot from the article included in this post. Quote from the article: "Here's a side-by-side comparison with a drawing from Kurt Vonnegut's book Breakfast of Champions. I added Claude's logo below for easy comparison." Then, from Vonnegut: "To give an idea of the maturity of my illustrations for this book, here is my picture of an ass-hole:" followed by Vonnegut's illustration and the Claude logo.
Glad I'm not the only one that thinks about the Vonnegut asshole illustration when they see the Claude logo. Clear memory of my dad's friend showing me this illustration when I was a kid after he'd had a few. velvetshark.com/ai-company-l...
Close enough, I'm just going to watch this one: youtu.be/4s0uSmECs50?...

I'll be honest, I genuinely thought I was losing my mind.
This absolutely sets me up to really dominate all future cocktail party small talk. They're gonna be blown away when I tell them what's actually just a nut-like angiosperm seed. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...
Data-vis-like sketches. What might it look like to represent instruction and information in a recipe in a visualized way?
Sketching around a data vis / data "vibes" cookbook that I sometimes fantasize about existing.
Where is the 1600 page essay collection of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure literary and cultural analysis that I assumed must exist but does not? How can this be?
Naturally, it goes without saying that this includes saddles for riding the big meeples, component scuffing be damned.
This is as yet untested, but attempts to balance maximalism with practicality. New Leaf main deck cards, Corrin Evertail, Garland awards, the Market, train tickets and reservation tokens could all be added but also add additional bloat. Will report back.
After tireless research & study, I have come to what I believe to be the optimal #Everdell composition:
• Shadespire
• All meeples + player powers
• Extra! Extra!
• Legends
• Through Every Season
• Bellefaire+New Leaf forest locations (add)
• B+NL special events (replace)
• B+NL basic events (add)

Dungeons are crime scenes and the adventurers are detectives.
Find all the game jam submissions here – there's some amazing stuff! itch.io/jam/mausritt...
Map of the adventure site, including two masks staring at each other across a clearing, a hollowed out tree and an underground den beneath a tree stump.
It features 13 keyed locations, 8 pieces of vintage candy and Over the Garden Wall vibes. In a clearing in the woods, two vintage Halloween masks stand sentry in lurid grimace.
I've just released A Fistful of Candy, an adventure pamphlet for Mausritter and the Adventure Continues game jam. Set in the weeks after Halloween, it's inspired by the legend of Stingy Jack (where the jack o'lantern comes from!) threehandedsword.itch.io/fistful-of-c... #mausritter #ttrpg #osr
Preview of the adventure pamphlet, showing an area map including two creepy masks, a hollowed out tree and underground hovel beneath an old stump.
It features 13 keyed locations and 8 types of candy to power up your mice. In a clearing in the woods, two masks stand sentry in lurid grimace. Hidden in hollows behind the discarded vizards, enemy camps are braced in standoff, waiting for fortune to turn in their favor.
Absolutely. At a certain point you gotta roll with rooms you may not know top-to-bottom. I found I was having a hell of a time understanding the relationships between floors, so needed something like this rough drawing.
Only just now learning that the Toe Jam & Earl soundtrack is largely inspired by this track, Chameleon, from Herbie Hancock's 1973 album Head Hunters. Time to live in it for a spell. youtu.be/iqomTAiRnVM?...
Signage along a drive at a seaside motel that reads "No Cars Beyond This Point" in the Haunted Mansion font (or a very similar one).
Normalize using the Haunted Mansion font for all signage.
Handmade trading cards made by an eight-year-old, including a "foil" made from aluminum.
Pinned to a corkboard, a many-colored drawing of various elemental powers or modifiers, made by an eight-year-old. For example, orange is "lava bubble," a blue is "blue outrage," and purple is "olisoun" ("illusion").
This kid's got the right idea. Works by my 8yo son.
A screenshot from Caves of Qud. The description for "table". Branches of the living tree were resorbed and reformed into trunk knots. Then, hundreds of years later, the oiled saw of a gorge woodworker disarranged the arbor geometry and flattered it for civil use. That history remainds cast om two dimensions, powdered wth dust and scratched in pencil.
How do you write for a game like Caves of Qud?
Qud co-creator Jason Grinblat (@jfg.land) takes us on a journey on what it takes to create this novel world of language-driven science fiction. We truly believe Qud is worthy of writing awards like the Neubla for this year.
