This novel, Legends And Lattes by Travis Baldree is such a great, cozy read.
It's about an Orc Warrior who stops adventuring and opens up a coffee shop. I adore it.
I've been getting up early to read it at my local coffee shop, going for a walk in the quiet morn, then home to play Baldur's Gate 3.

For anyone who is interested in Adulting but didn't make it to IGNM, fear not! The PNP version is here! While I'd love to print more copies, this will have to do for now. It is pay what you want; I really just want to get this game in as many hands as possible. Let me know what you think!

I sincerely hope people will check out this year's Indie Games Night Market at Pax Unplugged! I covered nine of the games that will be featured there, each of which has something to recommend it. With any luck, some of them will be picked up by publishers or continue to be sold by their creators.
@danthurot.bsky.social returning from last year has done incredible write-ups of so many of the games that will be available at the market!
Dan has an uncanny ability to capture the very spirit of the things he critiques.
We’re so so lucky to have such a skilled writer on our backs!!

Once again Rude Hat Man proves how uncaring he is with who or what he platforms.
He‘s happy to show one of the most controversial games of the past year in this video—as if it were *just* a silly little meaningless toy whose IP doesn’t directly destroy the lives of trans people across the world.
