Actually sat down and worked on Vampire Martian Hunters from Jacksonville some today! Got textual parity between the character sheets and the layout draft. Need to get those words to the edit draft, too. Also fiddled around with a test graphic for what's happened to the moon.

A black moon with a face embedded/inserted, around it. The mouth needs work.

I think I just figured out the core mechanic for YOU OWE MOGUS VILE 10 MILLION IMPS, the solo/co-op Hades-inspired TTRPG I'm working on. It's mega Yahtzee and I'm really excited to try it!

Cover for YOU OWE MOGUS VILE 10 MILLION IMPS. A black and white glitchy background of horizontal lines, almost like an older TV screen. The title is in white, in the middle, also glitching like a wavery screen. In the background, faded into the static, is the stylized head of a grinning demon.

Saw something driving Elissa to work this morning. Had to stop and take a picture.

A church steeple with a circle cross, the sun framed behind it. Everything is dark and smokey.

All for my own games! John was a huge inspiration when it came to trying to learn how to do this, even a little.

Cover for BRO HUNTERS. A take on night vision (so, green coloring) with a flashlight beam illuminating the title.

Cover for YOU ARE THE DUNGEON. A white background, with a line drawing of a weird, foreboding tower. The title appears in all caps, stylized, below.

Cover for LONG HAUL, a unfinished game about space trucking. Colorful, retro-50s-ish space scene.

Cover for Vampire Martian Hunters from Jacksonville. A pink background, with the words in a horror movie-ish font in black, with a yellow stroke. A vampire mouth, a lavender 'gray' style alien pointing at the mouth, and the state of Florida are in the background, all with a half-tone pattern.

Oldest kiddo turned five today! Breakfast with a muffin, extra bacon, and an orange cupcake. Dresses, a sketchbook, and a sticker printer. Bus to the library, lunch with Mama at Pierogi Mt. Playground, to bus, to home. Dinner, stickers, and all the TV choices. A good day for a really good kid!

Just saw the previous post says "ass" instead of "was" absolutely amazing, lol. Anyway, I'm heading home! It was an awesome weekend and I'm really glad this show is in my town. What a blessing! Bye from me and Monster!

Breakfast before Games on Demand!

We found balloons that match Monster! Happy Pride weekend and happy last day of Origins!

Having the ability to take pictures like this this my phone will always amaze me.

The gamers have demanded School Daze!

Good morning from me and Monster! Off to Origins for a great Saturday!

Me, giving hesrt fingers while Monster (a fuzzy, rust orange stuffy) rides in the front of my backpack.

I'm just gonna use this as my Origins thread today. Made it safe and sound! Monster is a little sleepy, but we've got coffee and we're at Games on Demand!

I forgot to mention... Yesterday, while I was waiting for van repairs, I got a text from a random person, with a picture of a cat. A nice little exchange

A screen shot, showing a picture of a beautiful black and white cat, lounging on a cat tree. Below is the text conversation.

Me: I don't know who this is but that's a beautiful cat!

Unknown texter: Thank you! It’s Midori my mom’s cat

Companion — Your starting deck contains only cards with odd mana values and land cards. (If this card is your chosen companion, you may put it into your hand from outside the game for {3} as a sorcery.)

If a source you control with an odd mana value would deal damage to a permanent or player, it deals double that damage to that permanent or player instead.

Was leaving Magic league tonight and a buddy said "hey, come to my car with me. I've got something for you." Turns out he'd gotten me a copy of @themountaingoats.bsky.social book, This Year. Reslally means a lot. A friend I made through Magic, thinking of me and my favorite band. ❤️❤️❤️

The Walk Back Home, Beer Well in Hand

Power and utility lines, Shot from below, in a blue twilight sky.

The top of a car wash vacuum station that reads Executive Vac. The text is stylized, yellow, one a blue background. The top is a yellow color which matches the text. Behind is a street corner with utility lines and such crossing over a twilight blue sky that's the same color as the blue background of the Vac station

A light in a front yard, illuminating the bottoms. Of some lower hanging maple leaves. The rest of the tree is a dark silhouette on a blue twilight sky, fading from dark blue to almost white at the bottom.

A street, at night, pointing down the street, as if the picture taker was standing on the middle line. Streetlights and sunset illuminate the street. My shadow stretches in the bottom left center.

Some others from the walk to the convenience store and back.

A street at twilight. A fading sunset, trees silhouetted, a yellow street light pools in the middle.

A street at twilight, street lights, wooden utility poles with wires, a sunset behind.

A street corner at twilight. Utility pole, criss-crossing wires in the middle, a pale pink light to the left. To either side, traffic lights. Green on the left, red on the right, a pair each. A blue twilit sky, fading to in behind.

Me, from below, a green coniferous tree begins, along with a utility pole. The street light lens flares in from the top left.

Still amazed that my phone can take a picture like this.

A picture of the full moon, close-up. It's yellowy because it's just rising and the sun isn't fully set yet. There are the branches and leaves I'd a tree covering parts of the top.

More of a brainstorm session than a playtest, but holy cow, we were productive. - Got all the vampire/dirtbag types sketched out - Settled on the scene structure for travel, downtime, etc. - Outlined the structure for building a city, the resistance, etc. - Workshoppedba little harm and healing

A picture of a laptop screen, showing white text on a black background. It reads:

Vampires

The Abscess
You're a sore on the surface of the world. Everything they fear? You're worse.

The Haunt
Shadows and alleyways are your home. You know well how to see without being seen.

The Infernal
Demon. Devil. You know some beings on the other side. You've made a deal with at least one of them.

The Liege
It's not just you anymore. You can make friends that will last a lifetime(s).

You have 1-2 vampire spawn who are beholden to you. Treat them like gear, but give them names.

Fang: d8
Focus: d4
Psyche: d6

Compell: When you need your spawn to do something for you, roll+psyche. - 2 hits: They do what you want, no questions asked - 1 hit: You have to promise them something to get what you want - On a miss, you've got rebellion on your hands

Turn: When it's time to make a new friend use the feed move, then roll+blood.

More work on the Vampire Martian Hunters from Jacksonville ashcan! This time, it's getting the character sheets more locked in. I love the folded design!

The default fold for the Vampire Martian Hunters from Jacksonville character sheets. The folded sheet is half of an 8.5x11. The two flaps read YOU ARE A DIRTBAG and YOU ARE A VAMPIRE, respectively. They each have spaces for type, move(s), and gear.

The character sheet, opened to the middle. The flaps on each side have the basic moves,. The inside middle has the Mutations section and the Strands of Fate section. The Mutations section is a pentagram, with body parts corresponding to the points.

The character sheet, opened and flipped over. The dirtbag and vampire sections are on each side. In the middle is Name, playbooks, and look. Below that are the details: concept, trouble, drive, trigger, and link.

@thebloodricguy.bsky.social for that Silverquill deck, might I suggest a small package, as follows? You're then getting multiple copies of your power legends, and you're making more bodies for casualty.

Legendary Creature — Zombie Wizard

Vigilance, ward {2}

Other Zombies you control have vigilance.

Whenever another legendary creature you control dies, create a token that’s a copy of that creature, except it’s not legendary and it’s a 2/2 black Zombie in addition to its other colors and types.

If a creature dying causes a triggered ability of a permanent you control to trigger, that ability triggers an additional time.

Creature tokens you control have vigilance and lifelink.

My daughter snuck into the kitchen and shouted "surprise!", giving me her play apron and chef hat because "you are the best chef and make the tastiest food." Fuck that guy at the playground yesterday. I'm alright.
