It’s great when someone comes up with a spontaneous idea to improve your game, so shoutout to @ursidice.bsky.social for a super suggested addition to White Rose Society:

Because it is about leaflets shared with people, add a line asking you to pass the game on once played.

Genius.

I have two copies of The Depths Of This Forest that I accidentally bled on when setting up.
There’s only 5 total left in existence, so three unblooded and two blooded.
Come to stall K8 at Dragonmeet tomorrow and ask for “A Forbidden Blood Copy” and I will sell it to you for the price you name

Stock Art vs. Designer Values. I compromise acceptable?

Anyone can have imaginative ideas and clear values and press it through their writing. But if you want those ideas and values expressed in the art on your game book you have to pay for it. Or compromise.

Part of my interest in this film is that Krystyna Skarbek aka Christine Granville was one of the amazing women who inspired my Ennie-nominated game “A Cool and Lonely Courage” - the women spies of the SOE in WW2 France

“The lesson from 1933 is you get out sooner rather than later”

That shocking statement was from a Yale professor who studied fascism and decided to leave the US in June this year, putting her money where her mouth is, so to speak.

I really enjoyed playtesting this game! And I think the changes Alex outlines here will make it even better, so I'm very into this!
