Ep.4 is live — they found a cursed gacha machine. Mummified toes, homunculi made of earwax, and a card called The Mutant. Chaos & loot await.

This was tremendous and a good time. Asher continues to be refreshingly open and excited about diving in and helping RPG folks get their games to tables and being played.

Could have spend hours.

Remember, if the Play Unsafe Kickstarter reaches 300 followers, it will make no practical difference but give me a moment's satisfaction!

Can you help give me that moment? Or do you just like round numbers too? Am I doing this right?

It’s fucking heartbreaking watching the pleas from MN residents start echoing the pleas from Gaza residents
marisakabas.bsky.social Marisa Kabas @marisakabas.bsky.social · 8d
A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:
Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

Happy #BHM2026 to all our brothers, sisters, non-binary siblings!

All month long we are raising funds for the Lavender Rights Project; a Black Trans feminist organization committed to dismantling oppressive systems that disproportionately harm Black communities.

A promotional graphic for a charity event. On the left, there is the logo for "Apochromatic Unlimited" featuring a stylized letter "A" with the text "Harlem Renaissance Forever" above and below it. The background has an intricate, swirling pattern with "BHM 2026" encased in a scroll-like design. The right side of the image displays the "Black Trans Advocacy & Legal Services / Lavender Rights Project" logo, which incorporates many hands with different skin tones raised in solidarity against a backdrop of a combination of the Philadelphia Pride Flag and the Trans Pride Flag. In the center, between the two logos, is the phrase "Charity In Support of," written in white text. The background is a textured dark blue with delicate gold circuit-like lines framing the image.

Monster Camper is a solo journaling game.
You used to be human but now you're a little bit monstrous. It's becoming a bit of a problem. So, to tame it or become one with it you're going solo camping!

it was really fun to colour it.
black and white illustration depicting a "world under construction" where a planet is cut to show its magic demon melting core full of hellfire, is circled by a magic dust ring and primordial clouds, orbited by dragons, which houses, flying wooden ships and spacecraft, is surrounded by scafolding and is attached to strange machinery and gigantic pipes and hoses at its bottom

Goblyn Market is launched on kickstarter! Half beast, half fiend. All chaos.

A weird little rules light storytelling rpg with lots of dice rolling for maximum havoc.

Great for one-shots and conventions. Now with blocks of text as I weed out all AI art assets!
