So many Indies are scared of being an evil mega corp and instead choose poverty wages. I've undercharged for my content due to wanting to remain "competitive" at cons. But every time I've set my prices more fairly (to myself), I've seen almost no negative reaction. Go get paid, friends.

What an absolute bargain!

BITN #9 - TETRAHEDRON. Feat. @lonelamplighter.bsky.social Gotham City is burning with a fire that does not follow the rules of nature. If Batman is to quell the flame before it engulfs the city, he'll have to team up with the last person he'd ever want to: AZRAEL... www.patreon.com/posts/140327...

This bundle has Clawhammer Games' 2 recent crowdfunded projects, Before The Flood and Gravemire. I did layout on those so I'm a bit biased, but imho they're excellent games with focused design that offer unique experiences. & you'd be helping the coolest librarian I've met unban books, so...

There's still ten days left in the Unite Against Book Bans game bundle that I've put together, and any boosts go a long way! Half of the proceeds go to my favorite anti-book-ban organization, and the other half help me, a school librarian! Also it's a super cheap bundle >;3 itch.io/s/160722/uni...

new game out! THE LUCKY NUMBER is a game where other people make the rules :3c get started with a bare bones game and let other people add, alter, or remove parts of the game as they see fit! the-horned-sphinx.itch.io/7

September is national library card signup month--getting a library card is one of the most impactful ways YOU can help your local public library. Their funding is often contingent upon the number of patrons that have accounts in their system.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

(The drawing might not be good, but her book will be excellent, win-win!)

This SRD is very exciting to me. I'm a firm believer that ttrpgs are about language, in text as much as in execution. I love how Loom designs it into its core principles

My students have started a "how long until Syl beats Silksong" bet with each other and I am both flattered by their confidence in me and intimidated by the fact that I now have 11 days to beat the game at most

ive been playing in this toybox for several years now and it is so much fun. if you're interested in rules as a cage you press your face up against you should absolutely check out The Loom >:33

Bluesky pals! I have a sci-fi graphic novel called DRIVE, & it's my favorite thing I've ever done! If you need a long, escapist read at the moment the entire thing is free to read, here: drivecomic.com (THIS PAGE: The Continuum Itself)

Oh look. When you fight instead of capitulating, you can have your funding restored.

Do you ever write several thousand words of essay for absolutely nobody but yourself to read and you know it'll never see the light of day but you did it anyway or is that just me

All this week, I'll be posting lesson plans and materials from my History of RPGs class, where I ran micro versions of historically significant TTRPGs like AD&D and Apocalypse World! Every day I'll post a new game I ran in my class. Stay tuned!

For being a meme-brained dumbfuck, my ability to instantly develop total amnesia regarding the title and plot every piece of media I've ever consumed the moment I go to write up the "Inspirational Media" section of one of my own projects is second to none.

Over the last two weeks I have read 74 collection development policies from various school and public libraries. I have read, in detail, over 450 pages of policy and procedure. The next person who tells me that librarians get to read novels all day is going to get kneecapped.

I don't want to keep trying to chase crowdfunding hype cycles. I want to make games, and then keep supporting them. Which is why I'm pushing for more support on Patreon. If I had more consistent support, I could keep making more of the awesome games I already made. www.patreon.com/c/gilarpgs

Why is no one on my feed talking about To Be Hero X this show is peak

Saw Weapons Having thoughts

5. Before The Flood ( @lonelamplighter.bsky.social & @omophagic-beast.bsky.social ) Back at this, and I've talked about this game before, but I adore this game. Its a map-making game that has players ritualistically envision a civilisation from long ago, and what destroyed it. 🌊🗺️

My Slugblaster group has invented a cooler, better version of Twitter called "Skitter" in which posts are called "Squeaks" and the logo is of a computer mouse with whiskers and paws and a tail. If anyone wants to steal this idea and make it a reality you have my blessing
