Yet another school shooting in the US on the same day that Charlie Kirk gets shot in the neck at a speaking event.

The guns are the problem. The culture is the problem. Violence is not the answer and “thoughts and prayers” are not the solution.

Great time to remind everyone that the internet is still some form of public record and the likes are not worth the feds knocking on your door

Imagine saying “it’s inspired by MAPPA” like what do you mean? “Inspired by Cartoon Network” like do you see how silly that is “inspired by Nickelodeon”
I think the embarrassing thing when people say “Ghibli inspired” for a project without naming like a specific movie or collection of movies is they reveal they’ve watched like the G rated Disney era films and like see posters, a trailer, and like read a wiki about maybe one other film

Reminder: I have an rpg in beta that you can support! Rust Never Sleeps is a blackjack-inspired mecha ttrpg.

Your deck of cards is your battery pack 🔋 Every time you use your mech, take one step closer to burning out… Finish your mission before you run out of cards and deplete your battery. (1/2)

Wes, Tony, Richard, and the rest of the Plus One Exp crew are doing amazing work platforming and supporting indie creators.

Book signing was one of the highlights of my Con. Glad to hear the POE crew will be continuing to offer these events in the future!
We managed to have a number of book signings at our booth this past week and it was such a fun time. It was really cool to see these creators interact with people and talk about their game. It's a truly beautiful sight seeing it click in someone's brain while listening to the creator go in depth.
I am so proud to have been a part of ChainxLink. To @glyphtide.games, @carrion-comfort.com @tonytranrpg.bsky.social @plusoneexp.bsky.social and Gatebreak discord that supports me weekly, thank you. What a lovely first ever book signing.

@lyla.bsky.social it was dope hanging. your book is vry cool!

Related to "things I wish I knew" when publishing TTRPGs in print for the first time... Those super bright RGB colors on your screen will look different when printed using ink.

Stick to CMYK-safe colors to reduce the difference.
