🖤 Indie TTRPG creature @ acoupleofdrakes.com 🖤 Perpetrated Court of Blades, Dead Belt, HEDGE, Fe Borg, etc. 🖤 Zine junkie. 🖤 PA cryptid. 🖤 She/Her ~ Big cheerleader vibes. 🖤 100% more f-bombs than the next leading indie.
My messy-ass work station and messier-ass, coffee spill victim, barely holding together notebook. But scribbling over notes after they've been moved to my clean working document is uniquely satisfying.
I rarely have opinions on games, but Touhou Mystia's Izakaya continues to be the best $5 I've ever spent in my life.
Every project is an opportunity to practice relaying key information simply, unifying language, and organizing that information as intuitively as possible. This is my kink. The rules support the tone, but they are not where tone lives. I save my bullshit for the flavor text.
Psst, Raul has commissions open. 🖤 He made this super cute sprite of my Blades PC, Sugar. It is my most favorite digital thing. These are ~so~ fun to drop on VTT maps.
If you don't know where to start on session 1, may I humbly suggest the answer to 'Where do you think you'll find him?' at Brisco's Noodle Palace. Or like, one of the other bajillion scores up free on ye old website. Making up ridiculous ways to get into trouble in Doskvol is basically my kink.
Countdown until I start illustrating my nonsense with Happy Noodle Boy-tier doodles because my timeline doesn't allow for me to also make detailed art pieces. 👌
My Discord this morning. Also all the HEDGE books arrived, consuming my living room, now we're hanging out until cards get here, and then shipping is going down. I always have lofty dreams of killing shipping fast. Like, surely, I can do it all in a week. Right? RIGHT? No. The answer is eternity.
The most recent meme in your photo roll describes your mental state. Accurate.
Treasures have arrived! I need everyone to mark this day on the calendar. My proofs all came back perfect. I don't have to change shit. No second, third, ten-thousandth try. Just hit print. I really thought that wrap-around cover was going to end me. I'm going out for celebratory coffee.
If there is any comic strip it will have Happy Noodle Boy production levels.
My fav thing about being an unrepentant indie is that no one can tell me no. I didn't want to do back of book text. We floated some ideas, like putting a creepy poem on the back instead. The smashbook won. WHICH EVIDENTLY WASN'T A THING FOR EVERYONE?!
I've committed to a limited palette with just my favs. Maybe I'll feel cute later and post some artistic abominations while I am learning how to use watercolors effectively. idk 🙃
This week I've been working on putting together all the print and cut foe cards for HEDGE ahead of the full digital game release. Soooo, HEDGE has 168 unique fey abominations to fight. Ask me how I know the exact number. 🤭
Blades '68 is in the funding home stretch, and I'm ~officially~ making playable demons. 🖤 www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e...
