Hey, this is your reminder that @georgiacooked.bsky.social and I are making The Deepest Dark for #ZineMonth! It's a GM-less, tragic horror ttrpg about getting trapped underground. (If we want to get into Zinetopia, we need 400 followers in the next week.) Please sign up for updates!

I'm crowdfunding in February for my original TTRPG Lie To Him. It's a 600-page high fantasy epic for up to 10 players. One of the above statements is a lie.

In any incident where your faith in an artist is broken and you are looking to support another, particularly victims of the harm said artist had perpetuated: consider buying their work, sending them money. A simple follow on their social media isn't going to cut it. And don't forget them either.

Having ADHD means that it's possible that I will never, ever, ever have consistent output. But there are sites like ComicsXF and more - GateCrashers, Shelfdust are a few I can name off the top of my head that have similar supportive environments, and I'm sure everyone on my feed can shout out more.

The one that prioritizes people's sanity and mental well being over productivity. That pays us not because they're counting out how much money we've made them, but because writers deserve to be paid, period. Creatives of all kinds deserve to be paid.

We're joined by @friede.bsky.social, @itsquinns.bsky.social, and @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social for a wide-ranging, two-hour discussion about actual play's use for teaching games and how we understand skill and learning in TTRPGs and beyond. open.spotify.com/episode/22Bn...

This post by @armaanautomatic.itch.io is so beautifully written, it didn't matter that I had no context of the comic series he was reviewing. He knows he has my heart. Read it, he might have yours by the end, too.

after a long hiatus, there's a new review up at Hark At Them! this time, it's NOT YET by @taylorannnx.bsky.social and @pmakesthings.bsky.social, a duet game of near misses and romantic interludes. spoilers: it's very cute, and i liked it a lot. go out and buy it!

If Dialect has a million fans I am one of them. If Dialect has ten fans I am one of them. If Dialect has only one fan, that is me. If Dialect has no fans then I am no longer living. If the world is against Dialect, then I am against the world.

The Royal Literary Fund are offering grants to writers facing financial difficulties. If you're currently experiencing difficulties, such as an illness or unexpected bill, you might be eligible to receive support.

My friend deciding to write a game and roping me into it as a playtester! But, Vampire deserves credit for opening my eyes to the glory of dice pools, and @evilhat.bsky.social ´s Fate really opened my eyes to how games could express themselves.

Okay, so I've seen this happen several times now. Person A says "hey, Covid is surging, maybe wear a mask again, okay?" They try to word it to cajole, not shame. People react poorly to being shamed.

When I say "could you do me a huge favor" what I mean is "this is a very minor task that would make my life much easier but my mind is messed up so asking for anything I could technically do myself feels like a huge ask"
