And these are the ones from the previous three years, 2020, 2019 and 2018 respectively. The oldest one shows some of my first leather pieces since I started my formation only one year prior. Until then, my crafting field was foam weapon replicas for LARP, swordcombat sparring and cosplay, something I start leaving behind me the more I was fall in love with leather

A regressive #ArtvsArtist of my work, to summarize some of my fave pieces and offer a perspective of my range. These are 2024 to 2021, four intense years where I focused on learning some side skills and kind of found my foot. Sadly, also tumultuous years that made me step aside a bit from crafting (against my will) and prioritize other things right now, still in hopes of coming back in some years

Been working on some Traveller adventure writing set in the wilds around some β€œextralegal” ports.

And I’ve been really thinking…

What is the difference between a bunch of heavily armed outlaws building a base, and β€œtrading” with their neighbors and a (polity? Empire?) other then scale and treaties?

Yesterday I was talking to a kid in a coffee shop about new D&D books he was flipping through. I told him about Advanced D&D, which we played in the 80s & which this kid had heard of through ye olde mists of tyme. And then he stumped me: He asked if Githyanki had been featured in the original Monster Manual. I don't know! I cried.

But now a friend reminds me that Githyanki were THE COVER of the original FIEND FOLIO. And who made them? @cstross did.

Back to the magical land of Nicea, I’m working on the line work for the jungles to the East, an excuse to draw lots of dinosaurs in the dense rainforest. It’s for dungeons and dragons so the land need to invite exploration. The jungle is criss crossed by rivers, with tall rock formations and mysterious ziggurats. The jungle gives way to a desert region and a few settlements. Plenty of caves and ruins to explore. #mapping #cartography #rpg#dnd #fantasy #map #ttrpg #fantasymap #map #mapmaker

So I'd looked at the Dreamland RPG playtest rules before but I'd somehow bounced off them. This time, I dove in like a starving ghoul in a ripe corpse - maybe because of Jason's cute explanatory comics?

In any case, it's really good, and I'm going to take advantage of the generous quickstart documents and run a game or two soon. I can't wait to see how the Word cards mechanics affect the tone of the game.
