Update: Ive been going through stuff and testing/breaking things in this the last couple of days, and I think y'all have a real reason to be excited about this. Sam has set the stage for something potentially truly ridiculous here. All he needs is your participation and buy-in. Give this a shot!

Follow the pre-launch page for a special discount on my itch releases! AND if you back within the first 48 hours… you’ll get a REALLY BIG PATCH for free!

Image of a magenta, purple, yellow and black patch depicting a sun with 6 rays. Over the top in yellow text it says “Back in the first 48 hours, get a REALLY BIG PATCH” then at the bottom it says “4.5 INCHES.”

Just read a preview version of this, and it seems pretty darn cool - a pantheon of stellar gods, two monk-like classes, astrological rituals, and more. Cool to see new faiths and strange religions coming to Prospero's Dream.

I think it's good to keep getting mad about evil and unjust things, if only to remind yourself and everyone else that these things are in fact evil and unjust. I don't think it's naive. Nor is it wise and sophisticated to adopt a "You fool, nothing matters and nothing good can ever happen" posture
