I like making books about GIANT ROBOTS.

You probably like reading books about GIANT ROBOTS.

Why not give us both a treat by backing IPHIGENIA AT MIDNIGHT, currently in its last 48 hours?

We've been trying to get Everything is Tables ready in time for Dragonmeet and @minahoneybat.bsky.social has really knocked it out of the park with some of the layout in this book, gang.

If you like LANCER (and if you follow me you probably do), you should check out Iphigenia at Midnight by Liam Mackey on @kickstarter.com for a great campaign, a bunch of narrative support structures, and some new frames for players to pilot! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ash...

This is a difficult announcement to make.

We're not coming to GenCon 2025. We don't feel safe moving through the US border.

In a strange place where the Voidheart Symphony campaign has finished but my producer's away and thus cannot tell me what needs working on.

To cope I've returned to DARKSTAR ANTHEM, the existential roadtrip game I start five years ago – kinda HOMEWORLD meets WARFRAME meets GET IN THE CAR, LOSER

One of my favorite things about Voidheart Symphony is that no rebel stands alone – most of your powers come from the people you care about and who have faith in you and your fight. In my final design blog for this crowdfunder, I talk a bit more about that: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/r...

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! It’s been seven years now that I’ve been an out trans woman, and a decade since I became a full-time TTRPG person - hard to say which changed my life more lmao

Much love to all my trans siblings out there - you’re beautiful and I’m proud of you all💖

Trans allies- there are way more of you than there are trans people, so we need you to speak out in public comments against State Dept making it impossible for trans people to get or keep accurate passports.

The freedom of movement is a fundamental human right. Don’t let the government erode it.
There are three proposed changes that directly harm the trans community, you can use this easy link to submit comments on all three: transequality.org/news/freedom...

The Voidheart Symphony crowdfunder is still going strong, and today I posted my first blog diving deep into the rebel playbooks of the game. If you're interested in who you can play, take a look – and if you're a backer, download the playbooks for yourself! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/r...

Consumers should recognize that making a digital book is not that different from making a physical one because most of the cost is labour (e.g., writing, art, etc.). If you want to support folks making living, sustainable wages in the TTRPG industry, we gotta normalize higher prices for digital
Customers who want the RPG industry to continue to thrive and grow outside of a handful of bigger publishers able to weather the storm of hugely increased prices on print products are going to have to become comfortable paying realistic prices for digital products. $5 PDFs aren't going to cut it.
