Had this Scrounge character sheet I made lying around, it's pretty much done, I remember only getting stunned at the gear part because I wanted his "special arm" to be its own thing. Being support equipament is good, I think? Uses the Decepticon Directive.

(Edit 19 of April: Polished the sheet a bit and fixed some stuff!)

a show doesn't necessarily have to be ABOUT queerness to BE a queer show. it's a cultural dialect that cishets don't quite speak.

edit: i gotta clarify that the shows do indeed still have to have actual queer characters in them to count

Fanbinding of New Paradigm - FFWAD 2024!

For the 2023 Renegade Typeset exchange @moonlight1314 gifted me the first story of the New Paradigm series back in December. It is lovely and colorful and includes the author's artwork as well!

However, I have immense fondness for the entire series and wanted all of it in one place. So I typeset the rest of the series and began plotting my first tête-bêche book.

My whole design was sparked from these amazing papers I used for the endpapers. I wanted to reflect on rolly-poly baby robots, and circles/star-bursts are a good way to do that.

From there I was able to find a lovely green fabric with dots and spirals to make bookcloth for the cover. These are my first covers with cutouts. Definitely a lot of work, but I like the effect. Something new in my skillset!

The tête-bêche style allows each typeset to shine on it's own, as each separate typeset still gets to start the book.

I wanted something with the feel of circuity on the cover, and also wanted to bring back the circles and indicate which of the covers to start with. This is my second cover using HTV: it turned out very well, but I am still learning a lot with every attempt!

This was also my first attempt at renaissance chevron endbands, which I like a lot! There was still the irritating task of securing the core to the text block, but that's done up front and then it's just sewing from then on. I really like the look, and maybe next time I'll be brave and choose more high-contrast colors to show of the pattern more.

Thank you @wearmanyhats for this delightful story! I'm so glad you are enjoying this fanart!

Mission Complete: Fan Fiction Writer Appreciated!

For those interested, I’ve also included this fanbinding in the Renegade Publishing Fanbindings collection, located here.

Just finished G.I. Joe: Renegades for the first time and hoo boy. It's been a long time since I was down this bad for a ship.

Well now I cannot Unsee Arcee making out with Crasher from Fricking Gobots now

(After I learn where Aileron got the Colour Scheme from and I kinda wanna Ship Arcee and Crasher/Fracture maybe But I let you decide if they'd be Cute or Not)

Hear me out though…. Snake eye as a transformer….

It came to me in a dream. He looked more like Prowl from Tf Animated, but I wanted to draw him in my style.

It really sucks that, at least as far as I can see, the general consensus for any of Renegade Studios' licensed Essence20 TTRPGs are that they're pretty rough, if not outright bad.

Part of the problem, it seems, is that these games all use the same system, which itself is very similar to D&D 5e (I've seen lots of people mention the idea that these RPGs were all initially designed to be officially licensed 5e hacks, in that they'd use the system as it exists with maybe some adjustments; at some point this idea fell through and the company had to scramble to come up with their own system that resembled 5e) - to the total ignorance and detriment to the respective tones of each game's universe.

Animal Handling, Languages, Survival skills, etc. In My Little Pony? Power Rangers? Not to mention complicated character creation, lots of editing problems (certain things are referenced in one part of a book as if another part has an explanation, but there is none), and a whole host of other issues.

All of these popular IPs deserved to have their own unique, fun, and well-made TTRPG systems that captured the feel of their universes - the whole point of playing a TTRPG set in these universes in the first place! - and nobody seems actually pleased unless they do tons of modifications and homebrew content that they shouldn't have to do in the first place to enjoy something they paid (a lot f money) for!

They should have released the Power Rangers HyperForce system. I'm not a Transformers person, but the concept of playing in that universe seems pretty appealing as an outsider. MLP had a different TTRPG in the past that seemingly captures the show's world better, but is too simplistic for older fans. I know nothing about GI Joe, but I know it's got its fair share of fans.

It's just a shame, as someone who wants to play so many games in so many worlds, that so few seem well-made.

Fanbinding of Incendiary by lastSaskatchewanPirate

I bound this as part of Renegade Bindery’s Binderary 2023 event! A copy for me and another for the author. Another set of quarto sized books.

This is another short fic I come back to on a regular schedule. It’s sweet, and hot, and agrees with my head-canons 😂

Incendiary is a series, containing Flash Point and Blastoff. I really leaned into the flame theme with the origami paper on the cover and the imagery inside.

These are my first books with color images in the text block. Color in the text block takes almost the same number of steps as foil in the text block, and I combined those processes, so it was quite the process! The first page of each chapter has smoke in the background!

Once again, my text block was too wide for the ribbon I have on hand, but I have enjoyed the braiding and tassel making for the bookmarks!

Incendiary has a bit of everything, fluff and smut and laughs. 💖 Thank you  lastSaskatchewanPirate for a delightful story!

[vangeluscentral]

finally got into some War On Cybertron Transformers Deckbuilding Game, ran only cards from that box to run solo with Elita-1

I won soundly (with 24VP in the vault for fun scoring), Polities/Missions/Ruins are excellent adds to make at least the solo game more lively

hoping I didn't misplay Elita

[pocoslip]

So if he is a Guardian pretending to be a Decepticon, would that make Treds an Autobot????

(Apparently Treds' Old GoBots Toy has a Renegade Symbol but is Sold as a Guardian so, WHAT)

[prodigyduck]

My new Transformers Contact build is for the Autobot first responder: Inferno!
