Only 5 days left to back Concrete Arcanum on Kickstarter! 30 urban fantasy comics about a modern world where monsters exist, including a comic @das-boog and I created about June Beliel, infernal defense attorney.

This is an all-or-nothing campaign, so if you're on the fence, you might not get a chance to get it later. Don't miss out!

"New Yorkers bite more people than sharks annually" is an excellent example of how statistics can be misleading. Like yeah no shit, do you have any idea how rare it is to even encounter a shark in the wild? They're not exactly urban animals. I'm pretty damn sure that if sharks were living in big cities like pigeons, just strolling down the streets looking for food scraps, you'd see a lot more news stories about New Yorkers biting them.

i think the best genre of image is "creatures trapped in starbucks cups with receipts reading [cup of water (no water, no ice, creature)]"

Advocatus Hominum

I want to share a bit of the comic Advocatus Hominum that @das-boog and I made, and encourage everyone to go support Concrete Arcanum on Kickstarter.

I'm relatively new to comics, and most of my previous creative endeavors have been in fantasy TTRPGs. One of the elements of fantasy worlds I'm interested in is magical law. Devil contracts, fey hospitality, stuff like that. One other (non-fantasy) trope I'm a fan of is the smart-talking defense attorney running circles around the courtroom. I'm a big fan of My Cousin Vinny, if you couldn't guess.

If you combine these things, you'll get something close to Advocatus Hominum. We hope you'll check out Concrete Arcanum to read this and all these other amazing stories!

joyce and evrart as a duo of characters are still so insane to me. not trying to hide because he knows people are blinded by disdain vs not trying to hide because she knows people are blinded by admiration. the guy a bit too happy to be holding the lever to change the trolley track and the woman shrugging at the helm of the runaway trolley made by runaway trollies incorporated. evrart's quest of potentially chasing people from their homes with his little center while joyce's quest has her keeping them TRAPPED from their homes with her stupid fucking boat. the deeply goofy modes of transportation that they act tied to and which allow them to just fuck off after theyve each played their cards. smiling wistfully

Scientists have developed brain-like "organoids" from stem cells, creating a new model to safely and ethically test cognitive responses to pain and drugs. The lead researcher assures that, while organoids can perceive pain, "their simple minds have no concept of suffering".

Adult realization: you will make mistakes, you will act irrationally. You will commit some wrongs that cannot be fully righted. People will dislike you and misunderstand you for all sorts of reasons. None of these make you a bad person. All you can do is try your best to be kind and just to people, grow and learn.

A good rule of thumb whenever a non-fiction author has "Dr." or "Phd" next to their name on the cover is to check if:

Their doctorate is real and from an accredited institution

Their doctorate is relevant to the subject matter of the book

Caves Of Qud is a game where I'm too pushy about a goatman's name so he enters a blood rage where he can permanently dismember me. A ritual we did together ages ago means I'll become a pariah if I kill him. That is not an option.

I zip off on 8 quick legs, but he's hooked one with his axe. He's dragging me in and I can't get away. Why did I have to ask him twice?

On his first good pull I whack a syringe into his neck, a rare item with a chance of failure. His status blessedly changes to LOVESICK and I scramble out, but we're not done. He's going to follow me everywhere. The LOVESICK makes him passive, but on turn 3000 he'll stop measuring me for a coffin and start taking pieces off. I won't be ready, since that's not a count the game keeps for me.

I have to get rid of this guy before then.

when i say deltarune is alive in a creepypasta way i’m referring to how there’s a variable in the code that makes a number go up every time you back out of deleting a save file at the last second and this variable is called “threat”

I talk about this sometimes, I think there's a bit of a weird backlash from people who felt excluded from their fun RP sessions by crunch when they were younger and resent having to learn the rules of a game now. It aint helped that core dnd now shunts a lot of the burden of knowing the rules solely onto the GM.

It's wild when people associate rules/game design with trad-ishness and lack of rules/game design with storygames, because in my experience there's nothing better than a storygame whose rules make it shine in gameplay
