Life got upended for the last 3-4 days so I may be a tad late on the Missive but I am sticking to the monthly thing! Everything but the Freebie is in the chamber and ready to go - just need to get this Treetop Lair written and laid out!

No really, I am actively thinking of worse punishments.
BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Hello. It's my final week as a full time game designer, and as if to underline why I can't do this anymore, I currently can't afford to cover my bills at the end of the month.

All of my work on itch is on sale. Tell your friends, buy something, thank you very much.

I just played a bit of this, and honestly, it's more interesting than I expected and mostly fine so far, but basically everyone is primed to hate it because of the TGA "one more thing" trailer. We'll see how it goes, but Geoff may honestly have killed this game before it was even born, lol.
'Highguard' was planned as a shadowdrop but Geoff came in and wanted it for TGA.

I've read this! It's cool!
Talking more about my upcoming crowdfunder to get a print run of a book of mine off the ground. It's a system neutral alpine micro setting heavy on the gothic horror. However as part of the print run stats for a bunch of games will be provided. #zimo #ttrpg

I'm working on the end-of-month Missive and pondering what would be a juicy little #TTRPG Freebie. I've been playing a lot of Cairn lately so I'm thinking about:

- Traveler Out of Time (background)
- Expanded Fantasy Ancestries/House Rules
- Treetop Lair of a Forest Cult (small dungeon)

But which?

The only legacy Walz and those of his ilk will ever have is one of cowardice and collaboration, unless they actually choose to take action. Which it's worth noting, they could do at any time. Also worth noting, posting isn't action.
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.
