Now that the preorder has been out for a month and the final files are sent over and approved, it's about time to show off what I've been working on since I finished DAWN. A game I plan to Itchfund soon called "Dollhouse" (1/7)
So happy for all the folks checking out my bundle! Really going to take some weight off me for the next month, cash has unfortunately been very tight.

I'm really enjoying my time with @mkirin.itch.io's games.

Deus Sex Machina is very cool. You and your giant robot fight in a secret rebel movement against a fascist US regime.

The in-universe spreads are stylish. And remind me of the game Brigador.

I tried to keep track of all the unique HUNT(er/ed) pairings that played at my table at PAX U but I quickly lost track.

a sure stand out was "sentient scarf that possesses the wearer" vs. "The Tailor"

Just makes me want to know every single weird Hunt(er/ed) pairing. So 👉👈 tell me about them!

I've decided to start interacting with more creatives on this account, since I feel like I'm not doing enough to help artists who I really respect. If I start interacting with you suddenly, assume I've been pining for you and your work for many moons before this, and now I'm letting you know.

I've been saying for over a decade that @megueyb.bsky.social and @lumpley.bsky.social's work with Apocalypse World is arguably in the top four most influential works influencing what tabletop roleplaying games look like today. May this be the first of MANY honors given to AW in the mainstream!
When the ALA recognizes one's work, that's pretty dang cool.
"The games recognized as 2026 Platinum Play Classics are Clue, Jenga, Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Apocalypse World, Call of Cthulhu, Mario Kart 8, and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater."

New design post!

Turns out I had more to say about the first part of this than I thought, so this post will be in two parts, one this week and one next. I'm also going in for surgery tomorrow, so the one next week might be a bit delayed, but it should still come out.
