Hasbro’s annual earnings came out this week, so I took a look. It is truly staggering how much Wizards of the Coast has changed the company since they were acquired; when looking at unadjusted earnings the Wizards of the Coast and Digital Games division was the only one that turned a profit in the entire company. Not only that, but Wizards is responsible for roughly 47% of the entire company’s revenue and over 90% of all revenue growth over the last year.

Showing off some of our Kickstarter stretch goals, starting with the tickets to ride. Each backer receives four (4) tickets. Share them, hoard them, or misplace them in a coat you no longer own. We’re not checking.
How far will you get with one?

Ngl I was especially proud with how well that swimming pool worked out. 1mm acrylic, backsprayed blue, ruled with white cellulose paint. Water surface was clear acrylic sheet set into a slot in the walls. Multiple stippling passes of emulsion glue.

UK game writer/nds we have a union!
The WGGB provided invaluable support when I was made redundant. A rep was in all my meetings and briefed me before and after. While everything was above board in my case, I did not have to go through it alone.
As a freelancer, they vet my contracts.

Listen to the Goblin. Share this around, people might not know! And they don't have to pay anything to see the whole thing (but if you want to give us money that would be lovely).
We've had 62 purchases of Stellar Firma Live already which is amazing. We are so glad people can see it who couldn't make it on the day.
Please keep sharing. We know there are Stellar Firma fans out there who probably don't even know the live show exists!

Rewatched Porco Rosso for the first time in years and every time the characters twitched and bounced and contorted in a very deliberate way I actually got emotional. AI is a cancer on culture but my god does it make watching actual art feel all the more glorious!
