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.

I promised my family I’d bring our mac n cheese to Thanksgiving, but I’m short $30 for the ingredients. We’ve been perfecting this recipe for months. Any help would mean so much to us.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

"How did you get into TTRPGs?"

A friend group in college started playing D&D 3.5e, only to find out halfway through the dungeon that our DM was running a 4e module with no balance changes, such that random goblins had 3 times our health. No wonder it was so damn hard.
“How did you get into ttrpgs?”

Using a pair of tiny silver scissors, I unpicked the hem and climbed inside, where I proceeded to refashion the various pieces until they became a comfortable nest for my own dreams, then I cut star-shaped holes to let my dreams fly. Sometimes there’s a flamethrower.
“How did you get into ttrpgs”

After receiving a full pardon from the governor I found a great deal on a trailer in Malibu and just haven’t had a good reason to get a real job yet.

I finished the first full rules pass on this today. Next up is stress testing the space combat, and making a character sheet!

(You may not believe it, but this is how I design. Got to see the whole thing on the page to make it work.)
Boundless Space: Making the scary monsters of the Eridani Belt today. I'm thinking that space combat will be much like normal conflict in Boundless, but with the addition of vast space ranges, multiple actions for a crewed ship, and of course, torpedoes and boarding!
