Okay @tabletopbookshelf.com has Monster Truckers, @ipr.bsky.social is going to get it too. Studio 2 is going to be bringing all my books to cons, and local comic store Lost World of Wonders is going to have copies of Wicked King and Monster Truckers.

We're making moves people!

BOUNDLESS SPACE: With some feedback in, plus a conversation with my storytelling consultant (@acoupleofdrakes.bsky.social wears a lot of hats), I've got an updated map for all of you. B/C we're nuts, we've created a dozen ports of call, all with their own troubles (both bad & good) to get into.

If you want to share safe paths through your city or neighborhood with your neighbors, Route Scouts is an obfuscated map-making system whose routes can be shared visually, shorthand, and via a coordinate system.

As a bonus, it teaches ciphers and code-making.

This motivated me to finally get my work up on itch.io. I've added my very modest library to the bundle. Fellow game designers: if you can afford it, please consider joining. All proceeds go to the Minnesota Immigration Law Center. #ttrpg

Who all is doing Zinequest/ZiMo roundups or interviews this year? I'd love to chat about Axolotl with a Gun and arcade-style RPGs with folks 👀

I've got a press kit ready to go!

Our Zinequest campaign this year is checking a lot of excellent boxes:

✅ Be an adorable little guy™
✅ Fight evil robots
✅ Trade coins for 1-ups and hobby supplies
The horrors persist, and so must you: An adorable axolotl with cute hobbies, metal regenerating powers, and a big 'ol gun.

Fight evil robots bent on harvesting your habitat for resources in our coin-op, arcade-style RPG about endangered wetland wildlife!

An Ancient stepwell.
The nearby river flooded it and there it lay submerged for half a century. After, only the entrance was visible.

I cannot understate the importance IPR plays in the indie game ecosystem.

Here in the DMV, our small-scale designers and artists are more than happy to hand-deliver our products to local retailers, but that's hard to fit into their existing operations. That's where IPR fills the "last mile"...
