Do you like mechs? Do you like when lesbians love each other to the point of murder? Do you love being forcibly feminized and shoved into screaming metal in order to commit atrocities in the name of some company? Do you also like when people write straight into layout? Go read about my mecha game!

THIS!!! Exactly this. We, as a species, 100% NEED a wide diversity of brains. We need hyper-alert folks keeping watch for animals. We need deeply focused folks devising new knapping patterns. We need folks who actually like sitting & shucking 5000 quahogs so we can eat in the winter.

Just bought and read this and it is so, so lovely (both in game design and graphic design). As usual, @momatoes.com has done incredible work - one of my favorite designers. Excited to get to play it!

We've surpassed $500!!! Onward to the next milestone—$625. Reaching this means I can donate more than $500 to Doctors Without Borders after all the payment processing fees. There's only 4 days left! Is it still possible? 140 people have bought the game, so I'm hopeful.

I like to think of gnomes as a sect of religious fundamentalist dwarves who practice, like, a Wicker Man religion. Like folk horror Mennonites.

Payment processing fees are eating into the proceeds of the sale. For $1.80 payments, the fees amount to 50 cents or 26%; for $3.60 payments, it's 70 cents or roughly 20%. So that means even if we reached the $500, the actual amount I can afford to donate is $400, which is very frustrating.

It is too late

Why does time flow strangely? Time is never timely; either it rushes past us, or ebbs excruciatingly slowly.

We are in the final stretch. Get yourself the gift of weird magic. www.kickstarter.com/projects/los...

Hello, hello. Earlier this year, after some medical appointments, my medicine costs hiked a lot. The job search has also not panned out yet. I've incurred a little bit of debt because of these expenses and would like to ask for some help. itch.io/s/160647/diw...

Whether designing a game, shooting a movie, or writing an article, research to "see what's already out there" is useful to a point, but your deep connection and analysis of the source material is what's ultimately going to drive your project to greatness. Human connections between source & audience.

I'm building my next game. I don't plan to Kickstart this one. The time I need to make this is funded by Patreon support. It will have a companion book: The Revised Campaign Notebook (may change title) that I am also currently making. From $2.50 up has access. www.patreon.com/perplexingru...

It needs to be made clear that @twopancakes.com is the best of the best. Bard art for Dragon Slayers.

Crowdfunding in November: BRUTE FORT This is an 18 card solo dungeon delving game combined with a tape cassette soundtrack of nasty dungeon synth by Gus BC (who also did the soundtrack for Thousand Empty Light) Link to follow the project coming soon...

Hey, if you review tabletop rpg stuff, I'd be happy to email complimentary review copy of my stuff!

I played this! We told a (sad) story of a (sad) sailor on a (sad) journey. Lots of fun was had by all

What are some story games that have very complex rules? Curious to see what the edges of the landscape are. Rules could be formal instructions or implied ones; I am thinking of complexity along the lines of "mental load to navigate the gameplay loop" but I also welcome other definitions.

Reminder this is happening tomorrow!

We have reached the point in the crowdfunding project where I am going to start shouting Doomspiral in all caps as marketing DOOMSPIRAL www.kickstarter.com/projects/sou...

I thought a good while about doing this given how everyone is hard up these days, and I also *don't* like asking for money. But here we are. Studying is expensive, and for Reasons, I can't take a loan this round. Please donate if you can! Otherwise, sharing helps.

Malls and restaurants have started playing Christmas songs. In SEPTEMBER

Holy shit, we've passed $300 in the What Dust Remains fundraiser, with nearly 100 people contributing. Doctors Without Borders does amazing, important work, so I'm happy that we'll be able to donate a meaningful amount. Thank you for the support!!!

Thinking about Ernest Hemingway and how he loved his cat, a polydactyl cat named Snow White, so much that he put it in his will to give all her descendants full run of his estate

This game is so good

I only had one day to really explore Bonn, and I'm glad I spent it around the Universität/Markt train station. What a wonderful city.

I think I can finish the Deluxe Edition of the game this weekend. (That's what I'm calling it now. Fight me.) You guys, this game looks Pretty Great if I say so myself.
