SPINE is a solo tabletop RPG that looks like a book. It is your anchor to the fictional world, a prop, and a work of art — a keepsake — that you co-create, all in one.

In SPINE, you quite literally embody a researcher who is reading and marking up the physical book in front of you.

“ALL of Florida lost its [interlibrary loan] services as of October 1. This, of course, most harms those in rural communities. That means those with the most to lose and with the weakest access to education and entertainment materials are now wholly dependent on what their own library owns…”

Grant money that should be going to library projects is going to state-sponsored propaganda, among other IMLS updates.

Ambition is more than just the game's title. There's so many interesting ideas happening here it's hard to tell how they kept it to just two books.

Ambition, designed by @theurbanavian.bsky.social and featuring a starkly beautiful art from Annelise Cranston, Will Grossman, and @rory-f.bsky.social, hopes to “satiate a need for introspective journeys, where the story within shapes the story without.”

Repeat Covid infections increase your risk of Long Covid.

We are in a mass disabling event that too many people are choosing to ignore.

Every infection is a dice roll with disability, and many (children included) are being infected once a year or more.

Mask up, clean the air, get boosted!

Repeat COVID-19 Infections Could Double Your Risk of Long COVID

The latest study shows that getting repeat COVID-19 infections can come at a high health cost.

This is no more lawful than if Iran / North Korea / whoever blew up a couple American yachts in the Mediterranean for suspected drug trafficking. On the legal spectrum it sits in the middle of a Venn diagram between overt acts of military aggression, state-sponsored terrorism, and simple murder.

watching the mothership #over/under solarian church speedrun the creation of indulgences in the first 4 hours of the game has me convinced this is going to be a spectacularly unhinged month of storytelling.

Last season of Game Changer, we did a cool activation with LinkedIn in which they helped us give Jacob a prize of $100,000.

This season, I have a similar opportunity for the right brand willing to give us $50,000+ worth of their product.

Hit me up ASAP if you're interested!
