the three pillars of roleplaying are: -Flirting IC as a transparent pretext to flirt OOC. -Desperately imagining what it would be like to have agency in your life. -Working out some Gender Stuff.

I was given permission by Ellinus to show some of the concept art she drew for a #ttrpg that I'm writing with FlyingTurtll called Wayward Suns. This is her take on the Ki'i-Oo-le!

First pass on the Wayward Suns character sheet! An important part of being a Spacer is making sure someone can identify you in the event of an untimely demise, so register with the SOC today!

I spent 4 days drawing this character and didn't manage to come up with a name for her the entire time. Pain.

writing a ttrpg is like "this game is close to done. it's not even close to done. i have forgotten 80% of the mechanics. i have written 10% of the mechanics. it has no xp system. it has 5 rolling systems. this page mentions a speed system. there has never been a speed system."

Ability example set for ICON (Lance, Pyre, GIGAFLARE)

ellinus.art A friend of mine and artist for Wayward Suns Ellinus has opened her website and is taking commissions! She has done all of the character art for our TTRPG Wayward Suns, including it's fantastic cover page. #NewArtist #commissions #dnd #furryart

More character art I forgot to upload. Whoops!

Oh hey look I made a game with Blerkjerk. It has space and cool things in space and you should check it out. blackturtle.itch.io/wayward-suns

game design is hard and bad

Official artwork for the Chi'ccaa, a playable species in Wayward Suns! This art is by the wonderful and talented Ellinus Where we're going, we don't need hands! blackturtle.itch.io/wayward-suns #ttrpg #gamedev #scifi

oh fuck this is my new favourite activity. welcome to Guy Reviews

A commonly forgotten part of TTRPG development is drawing catgirls. That's why Wayward Suns isn't done, but this drawing is.

More Wayward Suns art!! #Artists #ttrpg #TTRPGs #guitar #scifiart #ComicArt

I've been thinking about the marriage of fantasy and mechanic in rules heavy ttrpgs recently. It often goes from fantasy (the idea of something) > mechanic (how to represent that idea in game). As I've done more and more game design though I think it's a way more mutual process

Thanks to Ellinus for their fantastic depiction of our games Reptilian aliens the Adundara! I'm a personal fan of the shining on the lower half of the body. #tabletopgaming #tabletopgames #gamedesign #scifi

Your sessions would be better if your players put in as much time away from the table as the GM does.
