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.

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.

Mail Day! Stoked to dive into these essays from @jacobgeller.com alongside the 1,000+ page novel I'm reading. The art (and printing) of this is beautiful too.

The swings I feel between inspiration and imposter syndrome anytime I'm doing a new type of writing are so big. Been really into this little story I've started and then will hit a wall going "What am I evendoing?" But then I'll keep thinking about it and want to write more.

I'll never understand people who run games and complain about every part of the process, wanting to remove the entire art of it. A module that demands some interpretation is a good thing, actually. A great post.

ICE detained a 5-year-old Minnesota boy coming home from school + took him and his dad to Texas, school officials say. The family has an active asylum case + entered the US at a port of entry.
"They’re taking children. They're not violent criminals. They're little kids," the superintendent told me.

In Feb last year I ran an unwieldy 100-person gauntlet completely on bluesky called #VALLEY100.
This year I'm planning to do another mass participation thing, but it's going to be very different

I've been toying with fiction writing the last few weeks and I'm realizing that I'm maybe just better at silly/dumb/funny stuff more than anything else (and often have more fun writing it) so maybe I should just focus on that and lose my need to be telling Serious and Respectable stories only.
