hi everyone!! apologies for the radio silence since. well basically since the start of this account - over the past year I've been spending most of my creative juices on poetry and other creative works IRL under a different name. I fully intend to return to game design, just maybe not for a while <3

Collective Shout, the group that took credit for bullying Mastercard into recently censoring more platforms, stated that apparently it took them ~1000 phonecalls to convince them to give them what they wanted?
We got like way more people than that don't we?

Kia ora! You mention that you first had an inkling of this in April, and you certainly saw the news about Steam. Locking people out of collecting their pay with no warning was easily avoidable. Even a day's notice - which you had, according to your Discord messages - would've been better than this.

In BDSM studies it's accepted that after intense physical and emotional scenes or any scenes, you do aftercare. This includes a wide format of communication and care. With the overlapping circle of larp and BDSM you'd think we could all agree debriefs in some form should be mandatory. 🙂↕️

it is just shocking how many buds walk around wearing old wounds like a mask and it is SO obvious. i just want to give them a hug and say BUD you dont have to wear those around anymore, you can set them down. love is weightless but i understand it looks so heavy after hauling all those wounds around
some folks get REALLY upset when you talk on sincerity as much as i do, which is fine because we all have different trots. its beautiful to say 'no thanks' too. but if i had a wish it would be for those buds to feel safe enough to give it a shot. whole world isnt always snarling, just parts of it

I'm just saying that Moonnbeam, a start-up streaming service headed by an Active Duty U.S. Army Strategist who is cozy with the IDF, should be left to wither and die on the vine no matter how many shiny toys/sponsorships it dangles for #ttrpg peeps.
I have a few questions.

I've started into the PDF for Harvest and by gum and golly do I love a game that presents itself with style (both artistic and linguistic in this case).

Harvest
The people of a remote British island have carved out a good life, far from the churning of industry and the march of imperialism. Yet their paradise comes at a price. Life must be paid for in death. ...
