Conference day! (Maybe next time I'll bring her to an RPG conference. Could I count that as a business trip?)
It's conference day! 📝
I'm excited to attend my first in-person editing conference, put on by @edsguild.bsky.social, and I brought my husband along. If you see us there, say hi!
Yesterday we worked our way to Seattle and got to see a bit of town before it got dark.

1. Commit atrocities
2. Exaggerate outrage of the people into "rioting"
3. Because of the rioting, establish a stronger authority presence.
4. Maintain strangle hold on freedom of speech, with threats and very real violence.
Fuck #ICE, thank you #LAPD for speaking truth about the peaceful protests.

Well there went March.
Let's see:
- Got a tattoo
- Went Skiing
- Returned to College
- Tried to convince a few work friends, "No, really, getting in a trade war with the whole world is a very bad idea."

Reminding myself: Faults in playtesting do not mean "throw it all away." Just "this facet could be reconsidered, but the rest is going well!"

A massive thank you to everyone who got "Lost Fable" this far! We've covered my first class, and are onto the second.
Before classes start, I'm still working on the final setting portion of the game. Once that's done, it's on to editing!

Ratings are a product of their era. We all have individual taste, and it rarely conforms perfectly to the group.
6/10 games can be good games.
7/10 games can be good games.
8/10 games can be great games.
9/10 games can be amazing games.
Games that are not a 10/10 are still very much worth your time I promise. Sometimes you can find a hidden gem this way & not even know it. Scores are subjective too. 👌🏻

Lost Fable's Treasure Section is Done!
It includes items from rare crafting materials to mythic arcana.
The game is PWYW on itch, and if you feel like supporting, know it's going to a good cause—teaching kids to read!
