Behold, the writing team of Twelve Realms! I'm so lucky! I tried to count the accolades/awards they collectively have and I lost track. I'll try another time. Help us to get to 1K followers so we can make this game and these folks can get to writing! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gno... #ttrpg

I really fear that we've lost all our momentum. Feels like I haven't seen any posts about this issue in a while, and it's STILL not resolved. Payment processors have been praying we'll stop calling and finally fall in line. Don't let the issue die. PLEASE keep calling!

As trans creators of color, we’re always on the lookout for cool projects by fellow marginalized artists. The Black Market Guide to Immortality offers a decadently necromantic setting based on Korean, Chinese, and Japanese mythos — and it’s made by East Asian folks! 💀 bit.ly/BlackMarketGuide 💀

hi i'm getting a kickass set of new genitals installed in 2 weeks from now !! isn't that fucking cool ? i could use a little bit of help with medical bills + housing expenses during recovery and so i've set up a little gofundme! gofund.me/394dc2e93

The JourneyMon Quick Start booster packs are out now on itch.io and DrivethruRPG. If you already have the Quick Start Guide downloaded from either, the Oldtimer and Youngster files will be waiting for you now! If you haven't downloaded it yet, now's the time to start! quickstart.journeymonrpg.com

I see this reducing in reposts - this situation never went away. You may have seen a lot of people posting about it and some inroads made and thought " yeah things will turn out alright" Unfortunately no. we actually do have to keep holding their feet to the fire until they deliver.

The time's now ticking down in minutes 👀 The thought of so many people wanting to play this game is incredible — thank you, every single one of you!

big fan of the idea of "systems in motion" this article lays out; it gives a useful way to say... - you and i are playing the same game - we are reading the same game-text - we end up with different systems in motion

And a reminder, here's the petition for 🇦🇺 AUSTRALIA: www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/... And for 🇨🇦 CANADA: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... If we get all these going we can make some real noise.

ATTENTION BRITAIN! 🇬🇧 The UK now has a petition to STOP CENSORSHIP by MasterCard and VISA of legal products! This joins the Australian and Canadian petitions that are gaining momentum. Come on, let's get these signed! And spread the word! The UK petition: petition.parliament.uk/signatures/1...

Rogue.site is now a reality! Thank you to everyone along the way who helped make it possible. If you like what you see, and want more of it. Consider pledging your support with a subscription. Your funds will go to support independent games journalism written by humans, for humans.

Now LIVE on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mon... Asher's Ridge is a GM-less, zero-prep #TTRPG for one to four players, inspired by Twin Peaks, The X-Files, and Stranger Things. Connect threads of letter tiles and experience the unexplainable in the (dark?) heart of the Lake District.

This is scary as hell, but for news coverage? This is a GIFT. "You can be banned for *buying* Game of Thrones." Send emails to journalists and news sites and communities you're a part of and talk about the dangers here. People are going to care about this a lot more when it's not just creators.

The paypros and fake "banks" all seem to be getting pretty vindictive & retaliatory atp. This was inevitable. They want to discourage & demoralize us, but they're only pissing us off. Let them know how pissed off you are.

Cheeky reskeet for #selfpromosaturday... follow the campaign to crack these booster packs as soon as possible!

If you’re new to the fight, please don’t be afraid to get involved! A lot of the ppl fighting since Day 1 need reinforcements or backup

The JourneyMon #TTRPG pre-launch is full steam ahead, hitting 250 followers! To celebrate and drive for the next milestone, I'm excited to announce we'll be releasing Quick Start 'booster packs' for the Youngster and Oldtimer playbooks. One will unlock at 275 followers, and the other at 300! 🎁

Doing a bit of editing for a D&D project and stumbled upon the Malnutrition rules. If you *eat but not enough*, you make a save against Exhaustion. If you *don't eat*, you just gain Exhaustion, but only on the fifth day. How I read that: eating a little risks a save, but not eating doesn't.

Passed 40k words! I can feel the project squirming to escape from my attention like a greased pig, but we're still going strong. I'm determined to reach the end of this damned thing.

CONGRATS SOLDIER, we've hit 2 weeks of solid #SaveSpeech pressure! Youre doing a great job! Reward yourself! And keep on calling/mailing! stop-paypros.neocities.org yellat.money www.congress.gov/members/find...

Our pirate 5e adventure has cracked 500% in 24 hours and is still going strong! 🥹💕 BTW, backing in the first 48 hours gets you this limited edition d20, which shines like aetherium crystal 👀

I love being gay and also trans. It’s so important to love being gay and also trans

If you're a small press or independent tabletop creator who must soon halt shipments to the US because of Trump's axing the de minimis tariff exemption, I want to hear from you. email: [email protected] or, [email protected] DMs: open

TLDR; it's in our best interest to keep up the pressure on these companies and be as VOCALLY and VISUALLY annoying as possible. The goal for average joes like you and me at this juncture is BRAND DAMAGE. Stay loud, stay annoying, connect their effect on free expression with their brand

I'm seeing fewer posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation, and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them and losing them money. Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of. ⬇️

Can we get to $7500 by end of August? I know we can, right? ko-fi.com/africantrans...

Everybody calling payment processors and raising a stink about this, you're doing amazing, and I'm proud of you.

We're not in theoretical "they could come after sfw queer content LATER" territory anymore. It is being used to come after sfw queer content NOW. Spread this around, send the article to any and every news outlet/content creator you can think of. The alarms need to be sounded And KEEP CALLING

Reminder: Seeing evidence that the pushback is working is not a reason to step back and declare victory, it's a reason to ᴋᴇᴇᴘ ᴄᴀʟʟɪɴɢ!

How about a little commotion for the book cover

This is not how corporations respond to an ineffective protest. This is how they respond to a protest that they would like to have go away. So don't let it go away. Keep it going. In fact, Streissand Effect this shit. Call attention to how much they want this to go away.

It's like a virus. If they put out a statement at 2 weeks and we stop, then the next time they censor even more, we'll have to call 4 weeks to get them to even make a statement. The fight won't be easier to win a year from now. We just have to be relentless, we can't give them a recovery period.

The commodification, oversimplification, and objectification of "Japan-ness" is exemplified by Obojima published by 1985 Games. It is NOT Japanese. It is NOT Ghibli-esque. It is NOT authentic in any way. They use Japanese culture, history, and media as a costume to create an appropriated fantasy.

Written, video, audio - all have strong roles in the ecosystem, but I prefer written reviews to video reviews. Better for scanning and referencing. And long-tail, I think written content feels more evergreen than the more ephemeral nature of most video content.

IT LIVES. Back Ways & Means RIGHT NOW so we can PAY MONEY to these EXCELLENT WRITERS & ARTISTS to make EVEN MORE HEART buff.ly/8x6LWln

Today is #selfpromosaturday, so it's time for a reminder that my brand new #ttrpg Journeymon: Monster Trainer Roleplaying is coming soon to Kickstarter! Check the pre-launch page below for a link to the free Quick Start Guide! As a teaser... look out for a new devlog about Journey Moves on Tuesday!

Starfinder CRPG??? please ship this directly into my brain??

@paizo.com announced STARFINDER AFTERLIGHT, its new CRPG that will fund on Kickstarter. It will be developed by Everteller Entertainment, a new game developer founded by Ricard Pilosu www.kickstarter.com/projects/epi...

reminder to yell specifically at Mastercard about Patreon as they're the reason Patreon wants your face to post anything vaguely ""adult"" and also the increasingly strict definition of such over the years causing multiple creator purges

Do you like gothic romance??? Trans MCs??? PLEASE I want this to fund so badly, check it out!!

Steam and itch.io have removed thousands of video games in recent weeks deemed to be "adult content" in order to comply with strict rules from payment processors like Mastercard. These policies censor artists engaged in lawful speech. Mastercard shouldn't be the gatekeepers of our digital freedom.

so when i was calling earlier, the mastercard supervisor mentioned something like, 8000 calls that they've gotten over the weekend. Just wanna say keep it up, keep up the good work, i'll continue to do my part. Let's make 2025 the year of not rolling over anymore

This is not just a UK issue This is not just a SoulMuppet issue This is not just an itch .io issue If we don't speak up for this now payment processors will continued to be lobbied into moving the goalposts. More info on this whole issue here @rascal.news article: www.rascal.news/itch-io-deli...

I really hope over the next couple of days I see people reskeeting how to call Visa and Mastercard, post about their call experiences, and keep up with being loud about how unacceptable this present situation is. If we let them think they got us off their backs, it will get so much worse.

this is fucked up and wild for a number of reasons but one of them is that it's a uniquely anglosphere form of prudishness; subjecting the entire world to the US's particular anxieties around sex

When corporate tells their employees to try and redirect complaints, it means you should ignore their advice. In fact, intensify the calls.

Yeah, I worked in customer support and, if it's a 'peak' of one day, they will not care. They'll wipe their hands and say "ok, volumes are back to normal, it's fixed" If after a week they are still receiving pressure... Then they'll begin to get nervous

If you're a Canadian dev directly affected by these changes on Itch or Steam, I want to talk to you.

This near universal shadowban on self tagged nsfw games is, without exaggeration, an attack on all forms of art and self-expression. With the threat of deletion seemingly imminent, livelihoods are at stake. This is an existential threat to the indie rpg industry.

a mechanic in the new Cosmere RPG that helps turn Charisma into a tangible power that is not subject to the capriciousness of a roll.
