Sketch comm of @niko-trash's Robin Shaw! This one was SO MUCH FUN to work on and oh I'm never getting out of the polar nexus.

I started playing The pale beyond. This might be what actually gets me to finish The Terror. I got that book like about a year ago and I haven’t gotten that far into it. Arctic ship crash fiction is a weird rabbithole to fall down but I am falling.

The Pale Beyond

I started a playthrough of this game. And I am in love with it. I've only gotten to the start of week 5, and I feel like I'm about to emotionally devestated VERY QUICKLY. But I love all these characters, and we'll see how it goes. While I'm a little sad there's no real way to customize the First Mate (your POV PC) the fact that they leave it nebulous is AMAZING. I have yet to find any bits of dialogue that they assume anything about you as such. I'm really digging it. Love it. Will update again once I've gotten further in.

the Jewish TTRPG renaissance continues! there's 15 days left to back my latest project, a collaboration with other amazing Jewish creators that funded on Kickstarter in 15 minutes (!!!) & includes some fun add-ons & stretch goals we have yet to hit.

also, how great is this video that animates some of the art Shari Ross & i made for this game?

God, I get the absolute worst people in the notes of my posts.

Imagine being the kind of atrocious human being who says that Jews have a "victim complex" after suffering a pogrom which took 1,200 lives and a concurrent 400% worldwide rise in antisemitic abuse and violence, less than a century after the worst genocide in history decimated two thirds of their population, which they still haven't recovered from, and which is being denied more and more with each passing day.

Imagine being the kind of unimaginable cunt who finds that acceptable behaviour.

Would you say that Black people concerned about racism and police brutality have a "victim complex"?

Would you say women concerned about sexual assault or domestic violence when 1 in 3 are victims at some point in their lives have a "victim complex"?

Would you say trans people concerned about anti trans legislation in health and social care have a "victim complex"?

So why is it, again and again and again, Jewish people facing very real oppression and persecution are seen as fair play to behave hideously towards?

I swear, the Pale King just organized a conveyor belt for the production of minions from the void and delegated his duties to them

In my understanding, Lurien and the Collector were the two most reasonable specimens, so the King made them work. For free, of course, only out of a sense of love for its creator. And less autonomous samples became his kingsmoulds

Lurien was obviously entrusted with overseeing the City of Tears, but I think the situation is more interesting with the Collector

I think the King originally appointed him as a scientist who was supposed to study the effects and consequences of contact of living beings with the void. Is it possible to defeat the infection in this way or reduce its impact? It would be easy for him, since he himself is from the void

After all, he has his own tower with a study. But to be honest, the Tower of Love reminds me of one big room with soft walls for a madman, and it stands literally on the very edge of the city, isolated from it. I think the king initially saw that the Collector was not quite adequate, but he needed research, so he simply provided him with a tower with access to the Edge of the Kingdom so that he could catch unreasonable beetles there for research, and not cause problems in the city

The bug with the void flowing out of its eyes, in which we find the key to the tower, thinks that they have been together with someone for too long, and have become one. I think it was one of the assistants or workers in the tower who escaped when the influence of the void on the inhabitants of the tower became obviously detrimental. He locked the Collector up and took the key with him so that he could no longer "protect" everything he could reach

[OC/BTP] Lady Iseult D'Awleigh from her time in the cloistered life of an acolyte and druidess of Urathail

Acolytes of Urathail are willingly blindfolded as a rite of passage until they experience a 'revelation' and are brought into the fold of the mystery cult. Iseult ascended the ranks to an initiated Awakened, who carry meditative mirrors of polished steel.

the pale beyond is the only game brave enough to ask: what if frank hurley was a cute girl

Boone, after shooting a hot load of lead through Jeannie May Crawford's head: How'd you know it was her?

Me, Courier 6: [Barter 35] Because she's a fucking landlord in a post apocalyptic wasteland, who else is scummy enough to sell people into slavery? Also for some reason she was dumb enough to get a receipt.

Boone: Well, that's that then.

Me: No seriously though, why did she need a receipt? Who's doing tax collection's in Novac? I'm not done yet.

m*a*s*h set in present day: frank seduces margaret by gifting her flag-themed lingerie ($2.99 clearance at walmart) in a high-end designer shopping bag. she can't contain herself and drops hints all day about how ✨someone✨ is treating her like a queen and wouldn’t-you-like-to-know what he got me and from WHERE here's a hint it's on FIFTH AVENUE. it goes south when frank does something to inspire swamp rat revenge, so they stir up trouble by leaving evidence around that the original contents of the bag were for you-know-who instead. the last straw and last joke of the b-plot as she kicks him out of her tent is that "THESE ARE MADE! IN! CHINA!!!!"

just finished the Kickstarter stretch goal bookplate for Beyond the Pale, which i believe will actually be printed on the inside cover of the books - it's not too late to pre-order the game, it could be your name on that bottom scroll!

the designs & lettering on the hands making the priestly blessing are a reference to a famous illustration from a Kabbalistic text called the Shefa Tal (with some changes, such as removing the tetragrammaton)
