I wrote a TTRPG!

The Organ Stays is a silly rules-light tabletop roleplaying game about protecting your church’s organ from being destroyed. It’s inspired by the Home Alone movie franchise and micro-RPGs such as John Harper’s Lasers & Feelings.

A game is led by a GM and at least 2 players. It takes approximately 3-6 hours and is composed of 3 Movements:

1. Set the Scene - Map out the church, choose the setting, and discuss character relationships.

2. Plan and Prepare - Gather materials, lay traps, and strategize.

3. Defend the Organ - Fight for the organ. The organ stays.

The game is FREE and can be downloaded here!

well! ive mulled it over a lot. and i think im gonna stay on this blog!! im just gonna focus on putting out what i wanna put out, maybe rework it a little and give it a new paint job. if it still feels weird i may make a new blog entirely and link it back here, but for now lets try this!

with that being said, expect more body horror/potential gore on here! i tag stuff, but theres youre warning. also, i may change the name of this blog at some point, ill post smth if i do!!

hey! so you all mightve noticed i havent been posting here recently mshgsghd

i wont get too in the weeds about it, but ive been having a lotta complicated feelings around posting my art on the internet for the past year or two! the tumblr upheaval and a lotta people leaving messed up me wanting to post it here, and i really dont feel super comfortable posting it other places. plus, ive! gotten a lot more anxiety over posting my art than i used to. ive always enjoyed just posting whatever i wanted, but that confidence has kinda waned over time, and ive had experiences and witnessed stuff on the web thats ramped up my anxiety and made me really hesitant to post stuff. (nothing directly related to this blog, just personal stuff that unfortunately affected me p bad during some formative years, woops)

i dont fully know what to do with this blog- part of me wants to come back to tumblr and just have a place to post my art again, and this has always been a relatively comfy spot, but the amount of followers i have makes me nervous, particularly knowing i have minors following this blog that i dont feel comfortable having now that im not one anymore.

so i guess for right now this blog is in a bit of a limbo. but i did want to thank everyone whos followed me- this blog, and tumblr on a whole basically got me through some really, really rough years of my life, and i deeply appreciate the freedom it gave me. i didnt want to just drop out without saying that! my rl life has dramatically improved, and silly fandom stuff and art helped me get there. so thank you <3

i watched trollhunters a really long time ago because I really liked your fanart. are you planning to watch wizards? sadly strickler isn't in it tho :( also ! i just wanted to add that your art is amazing and has been what has put TAZ and ToA on my radar, so thank you! :))

ah thank you!!! :) ill admit i didnt actually know wizards was out! though i may wind up skipping it if stricklers not in it, just cause he was a big part of why i watched it ;;

and thanks again for the compliment!!!! :’))) it really feels good hearing this kinda stuff

ive been seeing a lot of those comparison posts of art from the beginning of the decade to the end of the decade, and while i dont have anything saved from 2010 i do have the very first piece i posted to this blog in january 2014! its kind of baffling seeing how much ive improved, knowing how proud i was of the left one and how proud i still am of the right, and wondering how its gonna look in another five/ten years time when ive improved further. just a lil thing
