Does anyone have any advice on exporting from Affinity to PDF in true grayscale? The document profile is Grayscale D50/Gray 16. All of the images are also grayscale. But it keeps exporting with blue or pink highlights in the images. I thought I had it sorted, but I guess not.

One-Page Sales Copy Guide by Levi Kornelsen An easy walkthrough

Since we're talking marketing today... I have a zine about branding coming out, but, like, here's a place the vast majority of us (including me) often just *don't do the work,* and if you want to improve results, you should do that work.

GM Tip: When you don't know a rule mid-game, make a quick call and move on. Look it up between sessions. Stopping play to debate the rules kills momentum. Accuracy matters less than flow.

Square aged paper with eighteen emblems in the shapes of animal heads in watercolor style, all as graphic silhouettes of different colors, arranged in a large hexagonal pattern. Title reads: β€œThe Eighteen Sigils.” The sigils represent the eighteen clades: Avian, Bovid, Canid, Caprid, Cervid, Cetacean, Chiropteran, Felid, Glires, Marsupial, Musteloid, Perissodactyl, Pinniped, Primate, Proboscidean, Reptilian, Suid, and Ursid.

And now each taxonomic clade has its own sigil. Thank you all for the notes on these designs.

Every fantasy series should have cool glyphs for their taxonomic clades. Which one looks the coolest to you?

no noise, no movement, nothing, only stone, arches, pillars, a memorial to a long deceased, forgotten abess, on the spire of the tower: a crow, looking down at me looking up; questions, unasked, unanswered on an endless sunday eve, before spring, before dusk

Disclosure: "The music is AI generated" 😞

You made a whole-ass game and couldn't license some loops? Or just go without music and let players know that it pairs well with their lofi or their synthwave?

*sigh*

Same sentiment but for "promotional artwork".

Again, you made a whole-ass video game. That's an incredible amount of work, but I see what's clearly gen AI promo art or screens and I'm out.

Creative folks, don't underestimate how much using AI "tools" makes your *actual work* look suspect. πŸ’–
