Updated the Uplift species spread!

Uplifts in Tangent Space come from pre-sapient animals. The first success was dogs becoming the Canan species. They are like the elder sibling to all the other Uplifts that come after.

One of my PCs almost died to a clone of another player's character today. The first serious injury of the campaign. 😈

Lots of great advice here that gave me quite a bit to think about.
"How do you get eyes on your games? 👀"

The most requested topic I got, by far.

Third video in my series on how I make a living with TTRPGs.

This one, an hour-long dive into all the methods I know of, with lessons learned, and a bunch of tips.

I think you'll like it ☺️

This one stings. Mass Effect was one of my big inspirations. 😞

TTRPG creators: what's one mechanic in your game that you're ridiculously proud of? 👀

Show us what you've been working on, we would love to see! ⬇️

It's really easy to feel bad about your own art, especially when you see the amazing work of others every day.

Sometimes you need to take a step back and see how far you've come.

Here's another limited species I just finished! The Rajan barely survived extinction when their habitat failed.

Despite being big cat-like aliens that evolved from apex predators, they are actually super chill and sociable. 🐱

I added a new lore entry to the first chapter of the book! This one gives an overview of the Solar Commonwealth, the primary civilization of Tangent Space.

The next update to the Tangent Space early access will include an updated Genetic Augmentation system.

Specific augments are grouped into genotype packages. Characters can split between two, or go for a single genotype synthesis effect.

Finally felt like drawing again! This is one of the limited species in the game, the Kallon.

Limited species are part of an uplift project to help them overcome filter events. They don't have a significant presence in space yet, but individuals can be encountered.

I think I've finally settled on a cover sheet layout for my upcoming series of Tangent Space pre-generated characters.

Say hello to Aliana Hadar!

Now to actually fill out her character sheet. 😁

This is a great opportunity to shift attention to more obscure folks that are openly dedicated to human creativity! 😇😉
Sick of these content creators on YouTube using AI for thumbnails and using the "UWU I'm just a widdle creator I'm not an artist" excuse.

YouTubers didn't need AI before, they learned Photoshop, they drew their own thumbnails, they hired artists.

It just tells me I shouldn't watch your videos.

I just realized the Star Trek Holodeck has a lot in common with generative AI.

It generates stuff based on prompts.
It can only use preprogrammed source material.
It makes really inappropriate deepfakes.
It hallucinates all the time with unintended consequences.

Another weird Trek prediction.

I've noticed a big difference in expectations between TTRPG and Boardgames.

Boardgame players seem more willing to meet a game where it is and not expect it to meet every possible scenario.

I just finished the digital character sheet for Tangent Space using Role.

It even works great on mobile, which is where these screenshots are from!
