Been playing this for review. As a South African, I am so glad it's out soon. Not only is it a fantastic heist game, but it's genuinely educational, balancing celebrating Africa's history with righteous condemnation of colonialism. My full review will be up later this week. Well done @nyamakop.co.za

One of the really fun parts of designing #MONSTERGUTS2e was adding references to all of the different monsters.
The Avis Americae, for instance, quotes and misquotes lyrics from The Star Spangled Banner. #MG2e #ttrpg #indiettrpg #ttrpgdesign

![MONSTROUS RESPONSES
Fitfully Blowing Breeze (Close, Cleaving): The Avis Americae
furiously beats its wings, Sending itself Flying. The air pressure
Staggers all in range and inflicts 3 Harm.
Red Glare (Near/Far, Path): The Avis Americae stares down a
combatant, inflicting Dazzled, Staggered, and Vulnerable. The
monster then swoops towards them. All combatants in its path
are knocked Prone and suffer 3 Harm.
Morning’s First Beam (Close, Splash): Lays an explosive egg
and then hops a Near distance away. At the start of the Tempo
Change, all Close to the egg suffer +2 Metal. If Airborne, the egg
drops a Near distance to the ground below and explodes,
applying Metal to itself.
TEMPO CHANGE: HALF CONCEALS, HALF DISCLOSES
The Avis Americae launches itself into the air, soaring quickly
over the battlefield and remaining at a Far distance from the
ground. Unless grounded, the monster targets a scavenger
during the next Tempo Change, diving down and raking them
with its talons, knocking them Prone and inflicting a Blister.
While the Avis Americae can still fly with broken wings, any
further damage to those broken wings will end its flight
immediately, sending it hurtling to the ground and falling Prone.
ENRAGE
At 125 and 60 Health, the Avis Americae squawks in pain and
spreads its wings wide, Sending all Close combatants Flying. Twin miniguns burst from the wing joints and pepper all in a Near Line,
inflicting 3 Harm.
While Enraged, the miniguns
coordinate their fire with the
monster’s attacks, inflicting 2
Harm to all in range.

While I appreciate that #Affinity is now available for free, I sure wish I could still buy the v2 licenses. I really appreciate knowing I'll always be able to use software I use for professional purposes, and the free license does not make that guarantee.

Hey!
I had trouble adding a banner that looked as I wanted in bsky, so I made this template in case someone else needs a bit of help too.
These measures look good on my pc, phone, and iPad, but there could be some pixels off, I am not sure.
I hope it helps! 🌸

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.

Too often when discussing trans rights, we’re forced to be on the defensive, as Republicans wage attacks.

You know what? Let me give y'all a fucking example.
Calling something "racist" or "white supremacist" will literally be interpreted by white people (broadly construed) as adjacent to an ad-hominem attack because of how we've culturally organized our understanding of racism and white supremacy.

As I repeatedly emphasize to my students: the presence of a fallacy in discourse does not render the broader argument irrelevant and many "fallacies" are premised on a given network of cultural meanings. One could make a valid and sound argument for why someone is "bitchmade" and use it effectively.

We only present a project for crowdfunding when the game design/text is 95% complete and we don't like to introduce roadblocks that will impede our ability to deliver as quickly as we can while maintaining our high standard of quality. This is the best way we've found to also offer stretch goals.
I REALLY like this policy, from the latest @evilhat.bsky.social Blades '68 update:
"(And remember: We produce stretch goals on their own separate timeline. They will not slow down our ability to turn the book over to the printer and they will not extend our delivery date in any way.)"

Really enjoying playing #Deadlock once I got my invite, but it's kinda weird that most of the female characters have 2 stamina and all male characters have at least 3. Feels like the default stamina for Boys and Girls is different which is, uh, Not Great.
