"...our current requirements for adding a new System Rules filter are:
Minimum 30 titles published by at least three separate publishers (i.e., not including the core rules publisher) for that system on DriveThruRPG."

Thanks to a writing competition on Raspy Raven I wrote a scenario for @paulbaldowski.bsky.social's #deesanction (3rd place! 😱) and now it's available on DriveThru.
It's set in free royal city of Kežmarok where a strange malady has fallen upon Count Laski... www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

I continued working on #DeeSanction in snatched moments at lunch and when not dealing with cats/other distractions.
I'm trying to get all documents into a consistent #Monad layout to provide a guide for page count, presently using some of the original artwork that I love from the softcover edition.

People often assume that I'm part of my wife's business, All Rolled Up.
Nope. I help out with All Rolled Up for convention attendance (van driving, set up, sales, etc.) and write both indie and freelance stuff alongside a work-from-home office day job to pay the bills.
No fun for me 😂

1. I see elsewhere on Bluesky that the discourse has turned toward telling writers not to be ashamed to admit they have day jobs or other sources of income (or spousal/family financial support), and you know what, that's 100% correct. Day jobs and support from loved ones are great if you have them!

If you find an indie game you like, PLEASE talk about it on social media. You can make a developer go from being completely unknown to actually able to make money just by spreading the word.
The fact that itch posted this and not even an hour later I got a bunch of new sales proves how big it is when other people talk about your games.
It can literally be a life changing events.
When John Harper made a nice quote tweet about Breathless, hundreds of people looked at the game.

Not long to #Dragonmeet now. I've shared a map before, but Jog does such great work with convention maps; here's a reminder.
You can find me and @allrolledup.bsky.social at G1 through 5. We're next to the Exit, basically. And we'd love to say hello.
Accessories, dice, zines, games. Good stuff.

This is good stuff. Also, generally:
✤ Do what you can, but don't expect to see/do everything.
✤ Be nice, to everyone. If you can't, step away.
✤ Traders are good people, but busy.
✤ Make a list.
✤ Support small traders and publishers. If you can spend a few more pounds on something, buy it there.

The evening's game session was cancelled, so I continued working on The Dee Sanction. Some new material written, some adventure stuff changed, and wrestling with some basic layout decisions that will likely escalate into an all-out brawl once I have a mix of art in hand. Presently using woodcuts.
