Evening read: "The Maiden and the Rake" by @scorchadoom.bsky.social
I really like the game; it features fae, romance, and sudden violence. It reminds me of Under Hollow Hills and In Dreaming Avalon; it has well-written questions and answers.
It's also both visceral and courtly, which I enjoy.

This specific issue aside, the ttrpg industry has had it very good (too good) regarding art prices.
[Update] This piece has been amended to add new details from Jay Dragon, along with other corrections and clarifications, including the removal of all pull quotes.
Five creators who worked on Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast have spent the past year fighting a legal battle against Possum Creek Games and Steve Jackson Games. Neither the tabletop RPG nor their working relationships survived the fallout.

it's fun to get really detailed about the state of games journalism sometimes!! thanks so much @chrisbratt.bsky.social for giving @zoehhannah.com and i the opportunity
Extremely pleased to bring The Games Press back today with Mothership's @midimyers.com & @zoehhannah.com!
We talk about the current state of feminist writing in the games media, whether "subscription fatigue" is real & how they've processed what happened to them & their former coworkers at Polygon.

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.
Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.
Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.
Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

A big problem in the industry is how many people conflate "Not a danger to me" with "Not a danger to anyone." And I keep seeing the terrible impact of that so maybe stop doing that.
