Hello Stranger,
Re-introduction time! I'm Epidiah Ravachol. Perhaps you've heard of my #ttrpg work, like Dread, the horror game that uses Jenga; or Swords Without Master, the one with the tones.†
I've been at this indie truly-true role-playing game publishing gig for roughly a quarter century.

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

One Trios Tag Match competitors worth (aka 6) to go over the next 48 hours to hit this arbitrary, but satisfying goal!
For every direct sale of the World Wide Wrestling PDF, I add a free community copy to itch. So far we've added 487 since starting this last year.
I'd love to get that to 500 by years end! Regular sales add +1 community copy, tips and bundles add +2.

Last week I had a lot of fun creating a program that randomly generates nighttime snowscapes like the one pictured here. This is basically a giant animated SVG as a web page. The lights gently blink and the snow lazily drifts downward.

Watching the flickering shadows of the networking discourse fills me with a desire to publicly apologize to anyone who thought I'd be a good resource there.
I suspect people assume that, because they've heard of one of my games, I have better industry connections than I actually do.
