Software UX engineers, I don't need three different prompts to summarize a PDF. If I don't use the first one I'm not going to use the other three. That there is desperation to please use this feature. Managers, stop asking for things that hurt UX more than helps the user.

Proofs came in for the cards and everything looks great. Just need @drivethrurpg.com to approve it then I can let QuasiReal folks know and everyone can come and get their Mythcraft spell cards! Exciting times.

Been in the mood for KMFDM and discovered that they don't have Agogo on any streaming service. Copyright issues due to covers I guess, shame such a great album. Going to track down a physical copy if they aren't stupidly expensive.

The proofs came in today and overall looked really good. I was sad to see that a few errors still managed to creep in, but that is the reason you get proofs. So one of the tuckbox’s sides were upside ...

Last minute planning my events for #GenCon 2026 before the deadline. Should have done this sooner. I also got Aetherscape's website up in anticipation of my Spell Card Deck proofs coming in this week. Exciting stuff!

Still waiting on my final proofs for the Mythcraft Spell Cards. Hopefully they show up soon. In the meantime I set up a domain and email. Working on a website I have a bit to learn there as well.

Got approval for the open license text usage on my Mythcraft Spell Cards and now I have the proofs ordered and waiting for them to print and come in. I can't wait to see the final results. I learned a lot in this month and I kinda like doing layouts. I look forward to doing more.

I feel like I leveled up this weekend. Learned to use Affinity Publisher to modify @drivethrurpg.com's tuckbox template to make a tuckbox for some spell cards I made for Mythcraft which started as a personal project now I'm exploring options to get these as a POD offering. Waiting for approval!

I was this close to pulling the trigger on a textbook on Neo-Sindarin. I want to learn Elvish it would make for some really great lore bits for my world building. If you know of any great books on the subject link them to me!

Got more outlining done on items I've been thinking about for my Aetherscape project. The naming creative block seems to have been lifted so stuff is getting named. I have a few more things to outline then I'm going to go back and fill out prompts for more details.

I need to find a mentor in the TTRPG indie space. Someone to share exciting things as well as bounce questions like how to submit proofs for print on demand stuff as all of it is a bit intimidating.

Spent the last two days upgrading my BambuLabs P1P to a P1S since they had the parts on sale. Everything seems to be printing fine so far. Will have to see when it finishes.

After thirty nine years, Sword World is getting an official English translation with a crowdfunding campaign due later this year.
Sword World may no longer be revolutionary, but Japan’s dominant fantasy RPG is still more than a historical curiosity

We are getting close to finishing up our Deadlands game and after a brief break it looks like we might give the Fallout RPG a try. I am going to go all out on this one with background music and props it should be fun

Mike Jackson’s 1991 illustration of a mallplex for the Night City Guide sourcebook for the Cyberpunk 2020 role-playing game depicts a showing of Dune at the movie theater.
That’s only a year off from when (the most recent) 'Dune' actually debuted in 2021!
