A board game in a booster pack or some coffeeeeee!

0 min read
Updating my gallery with a few images for my 'board game in a booster pack', the Legend of the Unbound Star, a solo rogue-lite inspired board game trading card game. You just need a single pack to play, it comes with a couple of heroes (with character classes on the back, so you can mix and match), a pair of boss/dungeon cards, a rare spawn/heirloom item card, a quest card with some alternate rules on it for replayability, and 12 random monster cards with loot and events on the back. You can play with a d6 (six-sided die) but if you don't have one then no problem, the monster cards have a built in random number generator on their backs, simply choose to flip it over or rotate the card left or right and then flip it over to reveal your RNG number at the top. You can cut off sections of the quest card to use as a character standee to move through the dungeon and the other bits to help track your XP, Victory Points, health and energy. The full rules PDF is on The Game Crafter

Flying over to Blueskies

0 min read
Hope you folks are doing well, that the year has been good, and that things are okay, all things considered. Moving to Blueskies because engagement without kowtowing to the algorithm is actually a thing there and it feels really good, almost like what social media was like pre-algorithm gaming. It's not perfect, but it's a lot more enjoyable than Xitter or Threads. Anyways, for those who care to follow, I'll be posting up my art and gamedev stuff there: https://bsky.app/profile/cobaltplasma.bsky.social Take care and may the Force be with you

Leaving DA, moving to Ko-Fi and other socials

0 min read
DeviantArt has been one of my art homes for a very long time and I'm both sad that I feel like I have to migrate away and upset for the reason why. I absolutely cannot condone DA's fervant support of AI art, pushing it at the top of their home feed, even for pieces that haven't garnered many 'favorites'. It flies in the face of every person on this site that has endeavored to better themselves through practiced work, perseverance, and grit in order to refine and hone their craft. From amateurs to professionals, every single person who has strived to improve their craft deserves better than to get pushed aside by prompt-based generation. I remember when I first dabbled in MidJourney, I thought it was such an amazing, novel piece of technology, and wondered where it would go. Once I discovered *how* the AI was developed and future iterations of it along with other image generators, however, I couldn't use it any more, not with a clear conscience. Seeing DA double and triple down on

ScamAroundAndFindOut

@nalfalfieri is a scammer.


He does NOT want to pay you $500 or ANY amount of money for art, permissions, or to avoid a lawsuit. He is a SCAMMER!


How the scam works:

  1. Contact and fake project: A scammer contacts you for a project, like art or "work" you are doing for them. 

  2. Payment via check: They say they will pay you via check, which they will send to you.

  3. Mobile deposit: You will be asked to deposit the check using your bank's mobile app.

  4. More money back: The scammer will then tell you to send some of the money back to them through an app or another method to pay for "project costs" or for other expenses.

  5. Bank returns the check: After a few days, your bank will return the check as a bad check.

  6. Victim is responsible: You are now responsible for the entire amount of the bad check.

  7. Report the scam: You should immediately report the scam to the Federal Trade Commission

  8. Report it: Report the scam to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at ReportFraud.ftc.gov and your state attorney general. 

SCAM ALERT

Be safe!

cobaltplasma

Thanks :)  I'm not on here much anymore but feel free to follow me on other socials (IG, Cara, etc.), same username hehe. Thanks again and have a good day

No, Thank you. Yeah, sadly most of the phenomenal artists I once knew are no longer members in this place. Don't blame them though. Anyway, thanks again.
