Due to a potential COVID exposure at Metatopia, @plusoneexp.bsky.social's warehouse team (who were all there as game designers) is working from home until at least Thursday (assuming negative test results continue to that day).
That means we won't resume order shipments until that time.

News organizations are starting to call the New Jersey governor's race for Mikie Sherrill, and she recently called out one of my books as a recommendation, I'm not saying that recommending my books will nab you a governorship, but I am saying that the batting record so far is 1.000
