Just one more week of me being annoying about this stuff. Hugo nominations are open until March 14, and Caves of Qud is eligible for the Best Game award!

If you're a Worldcon member & getting your noms together, please consider our baroque, simulation-driven, language-obsessed science-fantasy RPG

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION: Caves of Qud for the Best Game award at the 2025 Hugos
