*Finally* got into my bank account (stupid low-quality 2FA) and, not counting what I've put aside for shipping orders, I've got enough for either food or internet.

Where would I be without all y’all?

Cannot emphasize enough: indie-loving shops in big U.S. cities ordering best-selling indie games pick up around up 50, maybe 60, copies. Shops in island nations with populations smaller than Lubbock, TX would struggle to sell 100 copies of Daggerheart.

Y'all, this fucking parasite is counting on the work, hunger, and exhaustion of hard-working indie creators. Please remember:

Some dude on an app asked how I felt about crypto, and I’m only pro if it’s spelled with a K.

Yep, got this email yesterday. Someone randomly wanting to order $10,000 in books is too good to be true.

#scamalert For indie publishers running shops or that have customer forms on their websites (even if you don't sell your own product directly), keep an eye out for emails from William Cooper in Malta. It'll seem innocuous enough, but then try to place a large volume order solely via email.

Drumroll please... HELLO//GOODBYE is a charity bundle containing 203 games for only $12. Every dollar goes directly to Virginia charities providing free legal aid to people facing injustice. Available now until November 5th. itch.io/b/3276/hello...

I am now two days behind on rent and big bills are coming up this month. I'm trying to raise another $1750 ASAP. Purchases help, but if there's nothing you want then I'm accepting donations through paypal.me/colbosch. Thank you, and please share! More eyes help!

@govpritzker.illinois.gov You've talked a good talk. Back it up.

Help my friend Sasha if you can, like all small creators they got screwed by the current situation. I really wish that we could all do better.

Consume the corn or be consumed by it.

The OSR is frankly sleeping on granary traps. The diagram is already done for us and everything.

Dusty Springfield's "Spooky" counts as an October read/watch/listen, right?

We’re lining up all the things for the launch, and it’s going to be cool. Also hard and sharp and agro and weird.

Held off finishing a novel until today so it can be my first horror story of October! Not quite gothic horror, not quite gothic romance, not quite urban fantasy, def not paranormal romance. Pacing wanders, the end is rushed—but holy shit her prose! Also, MONSTROUS AND GAY.

If you’re coming to #PaxU in November, it’s time to start making your Charlie Was a Sinner and Bob & Barbara’s plans now.

There’s more jazz and at least one more whiskey coming, so I’m exiting Bluesky so I don’t enbarass @carrion-comfort.com.

Maybe it’s time for a novel now?

All the Pax U panel applications I was on were turned down, so I’m going to see if I can convince @keganexe.com to host them at @plusoneexp.bsky.social booth.

I had a similar problem overhaul of my tastes when I finished Mexican Gothic.

Philadelphia picked the wrong night to skip jazz at Bob & Barbara’s.

THE TOMB IS OPEN!!!! The Mausritter Megadungeon from by @manarampmatt.bsky.social & dozens of other creators is headed out to backers and you can score your own copy! Head over to ttrpg.link/1000doors to secure this tome. We have a limited run of box sets left over from the campaign!

Hodag: Not just correct opinions, but also good art.

The Old Old Fashioned has been replaced. The New Old Fashioned is: - 2 oz Bluecoat Barrel Aged Gin - 1 tsp buckwheat honey - orange bitters Use a barspoon to dissolve honey into 1 oz of gin. Add everything else to shaker with ice. Stir. Serve.

Y’all!!

jokes about the confederacy are always funny, but you gotta think about it in terms of "Supernatural lasted 5x longer than the Confederacy", which is absolutely hysterical

triangle agency is a fun game to play with your friends :)

I feel like I’ve been silly enough for one career, so I’m substituting in “bitter.”

Creatives and Disney+ Subscribers Call for Boycotts Over Jimmy Kimmel Suspension

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women

If you have a blog or a podcast or work for an award wining games journalism site (Cough @rascal.news ) or anything in between I would love to run a game for you. Reach out to Natalie and we will make it happen. Last Kiss is an experience. Be a teen. Make bad choices. Hurt. Die. #ttrpg #lastkiss

Dana’s one of my oldest friends, and has been a good writer for longer than I’ve been a writer at all. This is an essay I wish I’d read before caring for my dad when he was dying: insightful, honest, powerfully personal and direct.

If Cyberrats in Space gets 100 followers on the pre-launch, I will do a Q&A stream in my worst Mickey Mouse impression (just my normal voice) www.kickstarter.com/projects/201...

I've spent so much of this week thinking about what Bette Davis said about Joan Crawford's death.

@darthbluesky.bsky.social my state's attorney general is on a witch hunt to punish educators and school workers who may have said something he deems as inappropriate about Charlie Kirk. I'm just hoping to spread the word in hopes of creating good trouble for his snitch portal.

September Zine Club is close at hand, and you'll find my debut game there! Join rpgzine.club to be one of the first to experience the dreadful horrors of Twilight Country! #ttrpg #indierpg #horror #wildwest #rpgzineclub #zineclub #zines

@sfwa.bsky.social is anyone there in Grievances or Advocacy getting involved with this end of things? I'm sorry to say this is the first time I've ever needed help, so I have no idea what's available to me as a member. Thanks very much!

I have an adventure coming out next week and i’m sending my press kit and review copies out. If you would be interested in such a thing, let me know. #osr #trrpg

So it turns out that of my 3 jobs (not counting running R. Rook Studio), I love being a freelance ghost writer and editor, and I love managing a small warehouse of RPG books. I don’t love that one (sadly consistently paying) job where I have to run laptop monitoring software.
