So after a discussion in a discord server (and being told I'd be a coward if I didn't set this up) here's the Indie Adventure Jam. Make a THING for your favourite #ttrpg that doesn't have enough THINGS. Simple as that, you have two months.

You know that kind review you left for an indie game on itch?
The creator read it and it meant the world to them. And they will go on to make more cool stuff because you took the time to say something positive.
Being nice is cool. Keep it up.

So, on 29th August, the US is ending de minimis treatment for parcels under $800 value globally. It's already done this for China; now it's going to come in for everyone. If you post parcels to America, this is going to affect you, in one of several ways.

This was great fun to record and gives a really quick overview of Spectral Sea. Thanks for having me on!
