I always wanted to design a custom card deck, so this was a lot of fun. (Also, the quality of the POD cards is surprisingly good!)

Get it here: tinyurl.com/3fub6ynv
Indulge your vice or put your soul on the line and cut the deck against the Dimmer Sisters. #ttrpg

It was great to chat with Jared Logan and Joe O'Brien on the @glasscannonnetwork.bsky.social. We talk about game design, Deep Cuts, and crime fiction. Stick around to the end if you want to add a dozen movies to your watch list. :)

I think a thing we, as game designers, should steal from fine arts people, is the habit of saying "in my practice", like "oh, well in my practice, I like to do a solo prototype test before I show it to others" in a way that leaves room for the fact that we are artists and we all do it differently
