My wife has, tentatively, given me permission to put photos of her artwork up 'on the internet' in some manner
Anyone have thoughts on the best format for artists wanting to share their portfolios? Instagram, flickr, a proper website?
Or are tiktok videos showing the process the only path to fame?
We havenโt yet had an @embersofhumanity.bsky.social setting that is just like โSomeone dropped an epic EMP and it took out *everything*.
I for one welcome @squadronuk.bsky.social uploading himself to the cloud and attending online conventions face to face
i cant be there, maybe you can :D
Hey, weโd absolutely invite you to run it if youโre keen.
You know the coolest thing about oil is that as the light shifts, the image changes, highlighting different features.
So the photo never fully does the painting justice.
โThrough a lensโ by Ann-Sofie Hall. Oil on paper. Drawn through blurry vision after LASEK surgery. A blue wave over a beach surrounded by clouds and a night sky.
A great joy in my life right now is watching my wife explore her interest in art.
Sheโll never post this stuff herself online, becauseโฆ *gestures at the state of social media* but I guess I still can.
This one is entitled โThrough a lensโ
Weโre now looking for a few more players for Emberscon.
Interested in playing post apocalyptic roleplaying in a fun and cosy community? Join the con.
I have played a session of this run by Brianโs co-author @johnthehedge.bsky.social - it manages to do weird and post-apocalyptic and ominous without making people into (complete) gobshites. Recommended!
Embers of Humanity, our post-apocalypse community-focused RPG is in the GMs Sale over on Drivethru just now. It includes survivor and settlement generation, and a sample adventure and uses a cut down version of BRP.

For clarity, Iโm GMT+1. Because I cleverly escaped the island.
Itโs a game jam hosted by @drivethrurpg.com. You have about a month to create a self contained ttrpg product of up to 25 pushes. This years theme is time travel.
1 It is March 2nd. You know this because there is a big calendar on the wall with the date circled on it. You are not entirely sure what just happened. Looking around, you note that everything is in ruins. Perhaps you are a survivor from some kind of attack?. There is no going back, only forward. The path before you stretches out into the blasted lands, apparently without end. March 2nd seems to be a Choose your own Adventure game. At the end of each paragraph, you will be asked to go to another number. To continue the story, you go to that entry and continue reading. Whatever you do, donโt just try and read this book from the start to finish as it will make no sense (Just like most indie ttrpgs).
I'm going to try my hand at making a small game for #PocketQuest2026 with some friends.
This years theme is time travel, and I'm thinking of writing something horrendously satirical, in the theme of the Stanley Parable, or the classic ttrpg VIOLENCE.
Iโm sorry. Iโll come back to your table and cause chaos soon
Ok but lets be real, it's also often that a player declares a rule or structure to be bad because it's limiting an exploit they wanted to abuse in the system.
Embers Con 28th-29th March. A celebration of post apocalyptic roleplaying and community. Join our Discord to take part. A balloon flies over a skyline. Above it clouds offer a pathway into another world.

We went to see it when it came out, so itโs a 12 year old moan. Nearly a teenage moan.
You forgot the bit where you lectured me before the start of the movie how this was French art and I shouldnโt get too caught up on accuracy or science while watching and just enjoy the experience.
Lies. We recorded it last night.
If you come join the Discord Iโll send you some bonus goodies.
Hello!
One of our partners went quiet and then my life went chaotic and so I decided to put it down for a while.
I do still plan to run it when life calms down. I gave an update on our Discord, but I guess not everyone saw that.
One of the many swerves that 2025 took was that @watchwellgames.com debut got buried due to a false AI tag on dtrpg. SO WE TRY AGAIN! this time with bonus feature thrown in. like #dinosaurs it will be unearthed

Bet Matt spends 5 minutes chatting to set up the game. Then itโs just 85 minutes of pure Newman chaos with Matt holding on for the ride

Just wait till you try and solve the chess puzzle.
Ah right, yes, I got a bit obsessed at that point.
Started trying to piece together the whole story.
Started forgetting to eat.
Normal gaming stuff.
Ooooh, have you found the 46th room yet?
