Man everytime I release something new, my level of excitement for the hobby peaks and then literal days later plummets to depths unknown.

Is it because I always want my latest thing to perform better than previous ones and they dont? Probably.

Has it been happening for years and I still dont have a good solution or a better mindset? Also yes.

So I'm taking a break from writing to just play for a while. As that is my not great solution.

@LindseyBonnette Relatable! Tell us if you figure it out, and enjoy just playing in the meantime.

So, yeah, there's a tornado on the ground south of Madison. It's the first tornado in February in recorded weather history. This is fine.

I've begun a collection of commercial use art assets for TTRPGs on itch: https://itch.io/c/4026724/commercial-use-art-assets -- let me know what I'm missing!

Re: last boost, Forsaken, a sci-fi "'sandbox' board game that’s narrative-driven" sounds right up my alley, but holy cats, that's a chunk of change: https://gamefound.com/en/projects/gametrayz/forsaken

Thinking more about the sci-fi narrative-driven board game Forsaken, I think that I can get a similar experience from the solo RPG Notorious (https://alwayscheckers.itch.io/notorious), which I have already enjoyed and preordered at much less expense. 💸

@Tim_Eagon Yes, Notorious definitely put Torben Bökemeyer (https://torbenboekemeyer.me/) on my list of artists I would love to commission!

by Jason Morningstar has been on my radar for over 10 years, and I finally played it! In our game, two women on the run from the law picked up Mormon missionaries in hopes of using them to get through a police checkpoint. They just made one mistake: these nice Mormon boys had their felon uncle with them, and police did not exactly make him calm. But where there's a lot of sin, there's a lot of forgiveness, and we certainly needed it: I think we got up to three severed arms by the end?

@SJohnRoss Yes! I’m hoping that we do another playset before the end of the year, but there’s so many different games to play, so we’ll see.

Does anybody know of a way to upscale images with good results?

Here's the problem: we were recently handed POD versions of PDFs, which we were going to extract the images from. They were embedded at >300 DPI, but were originally 72. We're looking to salvage a small portion of them.

@rivetgeek depending on the art style, the dubiously named waifu2x might work.

I was reading the cute zine Know Your Dice! by @rayotus, which got me thinking about how 1d4+1d8 has a different probability curve than 2d6 (hat-tip to @Da_Gut for recently reminding me of this), so then I started poking around in Python, and ended up making a chart! https://cohost.org/rjgillis/post/3792144-i-was-reading-the-cu :d4: :d6: :d8: :d12:

My are available in print! Hallowzine #1 & #2 cover the history of from its Gaelic predecessor, , to the present day. The Burning Lies is about the hunts in early modern Europe, and the rhetorical uses they were put to in the twentieth century.

Notorious by Jason Price (https://alwayscheckers.itch.io/notorious) is a sci-fi where you are a bounty hunter in a setting that is lovingly reminiscent of . I picked this up on a whim while browsing the "solo RPG" tag on itch, and I'm glad I did! There's quite a bit of flipping around the rulebook, so I'm looking forward to getting the physical, spiral-bound edition. 1/

@Tim_Eagon Yesss, I am debating late pledging!

A friend's teenager who is into and writing is looking for solo journaling games. Notorious (https://alwayscheckers.itch.io/notorious) and Bucket of Bolts (https://mouseholepress.itch.io/bucket-of-bolts) came to mind first, but what else might he like?
