I haven't mentioned my games in a while but if you don't have it, you can grab a copy of MORIAH here at: urania-games.itch.io/moriah

I say this because for the Folklore jam I'm planning to write a couple of new roads based on the tales of Maria Makiling and Ibong Adarna solely for use with MORIAH.

MORIAH by Urania Games

A game of sacrifice and redemption.

Connie smiles in a selfie as they sit against a glass window with a street visible behind them that cars zoom past. Connie is a Chinese person with short black hair shaved on the sides and gelled up and back, wearing square glasses and a white N95 respirator as well as a black T-shirt with the word “HORSE” across the torso and a stencil-like graphic of a red pegasus.

They're actively targeting creators who call in & banning them, making it even more important to call if you're a customer & not a creator

Tell them they shouldn't be dictating how you get to spend the money you put your blood, sweat, and tears into earning

They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.

Alt text: A tweet from Joey Mannarino (@JoeyMannarinoUS) dated August 27, 2025. The tweet calls for Health and Human Services to violate HIPAA laws and forward information about every transgender and transgender-questioning person to law enforcement for immediate detainment, claiming they are killing children in schools. It describes this as a matter of national security, says transgender people should be locked away and studied, calls for medical professionals who enable transitions to be expelled from the profession, and demands that the federal government treat transgender people as if they were terrorist organizations. The tweet shows it was last edited at 1:11 PM and has 5,049 views.
