@819Steph.bsky.social just released a new solo journaling RPG video, this time featuring Auspex by @smolghost.bsky.social. This game takes us to a world on the brink of destruction, as the player takes on the role of a diviner guiding the change through their advice. Curious?

I wanted to highlight some of the weirder offerings we have at #paxunplugged! I’ll start with Public Guest 5. It’s our solo TTRPG about living beneath an artificial menacing planet. You roll 2 dice once every real-world day until your world explodes. Until it does, you live your life well.

managed to dodge PAX fomo until right now. wish i was there talking about my new game with all these beloved weirdos that are picking it up!! thank you if you did! i put my whole heart and every one of my sharp little teeth into it!

Some really remarkable solo rpg zines here. One of my favorite discoveries at PAX U this year.

Seconded.

i've been chattering abt this in as non-stop a way as someone who is talking about something that hasn't been published yet can possibly chatter & i'm excited to now un-qualify that. bc of who i am & the wrenching ways that this game approaches companionship & creation. personal context attached

Obligatory Booth Pic from PAXU. Have you been by?

Hey local buds - I'll be tabling at MCX this Saturday, at the Mississauga Central Library! I'll have the usual complement of comics, zines, art, and beautiful fantasy playmat blankets - and something new and special for the holiday season! See you there? campaign.mississauga.ca/mississauga-...

Poster for ZINEDUMP, a new Toronto zine fair! I'm one of the organizers for the event, and we are having our inaugural event on November 9th! We hope to see you there! For updates, please check our website or follow our instagram at zinedump.fyi

Hey, Ontarians? We gotta push back on Doug Ford's fun new landlord empowerment bill: acorncanada.org/news/doug-fo...

Restocked this month: haunted house gamebook Dwelling from @smolghost.bsky.social and @goodluckpress.co 🏠 A dark, introspective solo RPG, beautifully laid out in midnight color with graphic novel-style illustrations.

Wanna make your mask cuter? Punk-er? Worthy of compliments from strangers who might otherwise question why you're wearing one in the first place? I'm running a workshop on making mask chains in Toronto on October 20th! www.eventbrite.ca/e/masked-eve...

Canadians! Some action you can take is signing petitions actually going before the Canadian House of Commons. Here's a petition aimed at closing the arms export loophole: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... Petition for immigration reform for Gaza refugees: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

the Kickstarter for Full Send is running out of time and my stretch goal is the next in sight! let's make some subterranean action happen! 🧗‍♀️

Hey Toronto, Come shop at the Mutual Aid Market on Saturday! I'll be there with my mask chains and a few glasses chains/earrings/etc. A percentage of my sales goes directly to families in need.

Hey Canadian friends, let's sign this petition!! It takes less than 2 minutes and is an official thing you can do 💪 For context, Canada's C-2 bill paves the way for the US gov't to access Canada's private civilian data based on "security of the border", and "other security measures". It's bad!

it's time for the SOLOTEMBER SALE! for the rest of September, take 10% solo games at goodluckpress.co.

Rather channel the hits? Try something classic, like 🏰In Ruins - @mallenhall.com, a solo+ dungeon crawl beginning in a new castle, continuing as the castle weathers and crumbles, and ending as a skirmish for power 🧙🏽Auspex - @smolghost.bsky.social, tarot-reading practice at end of the world

We cleared £5000 on the crowdfunder this morning, which means we're gonna hit our first stretch goal soon. When i declare a wish, I conjure it into existence www.kickstarter.com/projects/lau...

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

Gretchen got suspended, so we have to extra spread the word about Black Flame's release. I had the chance to read it a few months back and it's such a brutal hard look at cultural trauma, assimilation, self hatred, revenge, and the messiness of history. It will knock your socks off
