I had a great time talking with Nathan and Epidiah at the Unwritten Earths Symposium about art, games, and all the amazing things we have in store for Swords Without Master – check the episode out here:
Unwritten Earths Symposium: The Shel Kahn EpisodeIn this episode, we sit down with friend, artist, game designer and art director for Swords Without Master Shel Kahn to talk about… all of those things! We touch on the different roles of art in game design, working with abstract imagery, refining your taste as a chooser-of-images even if commissioning original art isn’t realistic, and the ways artwork and visual design elements help out the game design endeavor. Art… it’s good!
Eppy and Nathan kindly let me go on several rants about what art does in TTRPGs, how graphic design is art and vice versa, and how it’s a visual medium because you read with your eyes! Somehow we did stay on topic and it did not turn into a two hour ramble about our favourite metal concept albums, but there’s always next time!

My partner gave me this Raynox DCR-250 Super Macro Conversion Lens for christmas! It clips onto the end of all my other lenses, and lets me take photos like these:
It’s going to be an incredible tool when the bugs are back in the spring, but in the meantime I want to learn more about how it works on each different lens, and also set aside some time for testing flash types and continuous lighting types so I’m ready to freeze the action.
I’ve also been really grateful for macro photographers on youtube who explain things to me from the basics. This video on how to approach bugs so they don’t fly away was very useful:
It also betrays something I find so charming about insect photographers: they can’t help themselves, the more time they spend photographing them, the more they start to see insects as little guys!
I also appreciate wildlife photographers in general who make resources on how to not only get cool photos, but how to stay safe while doing it:
Now I just need to find a video on photographing hornets without getting stung…
