@thaumavore.blue just dropped an excellent breakdown of the BUREAU of CHRONOLOGICAL AFFAIRS! I gotta say his wishlist of features for the game makes a lot of sense to me - and get my brainbox working.

Time to shout out some of the major inspirations for WYRM! These games and/or designers had an impact on the game's development at some point. Some of it stayed in the game, some of it stays in my brain. It's all there in one way or another.

It's been 5 years since a group of alt-right revolutionaries attempted a violent coup on the United States government at the behest of Donald Trump.

A year ago I attended a gamified version of that terrible day for @rascal.news. Its terrifying to see how much has changed and how much hasn't.

just found out the repairs to my car after the hit-and-run-will be $500, so if anyone wants to give my new game & the bundle with all my previous games (I Have the High Ground, PLANET FIST, going rogue 2e) a look while these 20% sales are running, it would be much appreciated!
still figuring out if insurance will cover it, but in the meantime it'd mean the world if you'd consider:

1. picking up my latest game "The Vatican Stole the Menorah and We're Going to Steal Back": jumpgategames.itch.io/tvstmawgtsib
2. or a 20% bundle of all my other games: itch.io/s/176257/jum...
