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.

Mark Kelly: "I said something that was pretty simple and non-controversial, and that was that members of the military should follow the law. In response to that, Trump said I should be executed, I should be hanged ... it says a lot more about him than it says about me. I'm not going to be silenced."

This is so important. I don't tend to run games where there's a whole lot of rules, but I don't really begrudge players for not knowing the rules, and usually it doesn't cause any problems. It might be more frustrating with more complex games, I guess, I wouldn't know.
Hot TTRPG take: It's less important that the group fully knows the rules and abilities than it is that they show up with enthusiasm to engage the game. #ttrpg

Appealing the dismissal instead of re-indicting is a way to kick the can down the road and avoid a lot of short-term humiliation over the other flaws in the case.
Leavitt: “We believe the attorney in this case, Lindsey Halligan, is not only extremely qualified…but she was in fact legally appointed. And I know the DOJ will be appealing this in very short order.”

My favorite editor is, as always, @ayvalentine.bsky.social , who has edited several of your favorite games’ designers’ favorite games
By the way, it's National Editor Appreciation Day.
Nobody ever reads a great article and thinks, "Dang, that was some tight editing." But editing is a big part of how it got to be great.
So writers, if you've ever worked with a good editor, shout 'em out.

We don't talk much about the "feel" of TTRPG mechanics, so I thought I'd do that.
Imagine two sets of mechanics for finding clues in a mystery.

No! That is this conversation. It's not separate. The Nuremberg trials said clearly that "I was following orders" is not a valid defense for committing crimes, and that is the conversation we're having right now.
BLITZER: During WW2, Nazi officers were following the chain of command, obeying illegal orders & slaughtered Jews during the Holocaust
McCLAIN: We're a long way from Nuremberg trials & the slaughtering of Jews. If you want to talk about the slaughtering the Jews we can have that convo another time
