Songbirds, by Snow, is an OSR and storygame traditions inspired ttrpg about you being the canary (adventurer) in the coal mine (dungeon), you go where others won't trying to help spirits find rest, since the god of death is slacking.

Boosting the signal for @locusmag.bsky.social again! I can't find the link but @foxesandroses.bsky.social was one of several authors who wrote about why this magazine is so important because it has an international reach and allows authors outside of North America to feel connected

I’ve said it before but Patreon is my only stable source of income and has been for years. If you like what I share, even $2/mo helps so much. You can cancel Patreon pledges at any time. Believe me. Every dollar helps when you are a working creative.

The art of game design: the spark of creation, to find play between the confines of rules and the expression of agency, to marry the beauty of systems and aesthetic expression, The discipline of game design: fucking finish the thing

This is an amazing magazine - the content is wonderful and the production quality is of the highest standard.
