The final theme voting round for Ludum Praxi is live --> forms.gle/S9ihBSfRz77Q...

Ludum Praxi is basically practice for Ludum Dare, specifically for analog creators. It's a 2-week jam, but everyone makes a game in 72 hours, starting when you see the theme. 🧡

And Ludum Dare is in April! 🥳
We were delighted when @wharthur.bsky.social emailed everyone from the #48WordRPGJam with some games that caught his eye, including @unbirthdayangel.bsky.social's Stockpiled!!! 🧡🥳

You can see the other games that caught his eye —and share jam games you loved— here:

Depleted is about whether she'll have the inner battery to complete what she needs to do.

Stockpiled has you bowling a d20 at stacks of d6 as a stress reliever!

Getting sick AND being manic after two days of severe depression is a fun combo. I wanna run around and do ALL THE THINGS, but also feel like collapsing and puking at just the thought of it

Also, the #EOYFairytaleJam ends in about 12.5 hours and I have to do ALL MY PROMPTS still

Very few things give me hope lately. But the way the people in Minnesota are responding does.
Thousands of people filled the streets of downtown Minneapolis in protest of federal immigration enforcement for the second consecutive Friday.

I've made like 7 games and zines in the last month, but tomorrow I plan to make one I've been excited about for a while, and I'm nervous.

I've been proud of what I've made lately, but it's felt like "accidental success" lol like I just "stepped into something good by accident."

For the #48WordRPGJam, I made Ephemeral Glimmers.

Probably the most depressing thing I've made lol; it captures my bipolar really well, and it ends with hope 🧡

And it's free! You can even read it in your browser thanks to Electric Zine Maker!

I'm very excited for this, and have a few ideas in mind:

* An Alan Wake (@remedygames.com) inspired Lasers & Feelings hack called Oceans & Spirals
* A No Man's Skyish (@nomansbsky.bsky.social) space exploration TTRPG
* An inventory/shop management game inspired by Moonlighter (@digitalsungames.com)

Goodness, I didn't realize I've been gone for so long til I saw unread notifications from September, when we did Free Zine Week...

So yeah, hi again! 🙋‍♀️ I'm hoping to be more social, even if I frequently run away because I'm spiraling in depression. 🙃

We took part in Zine Month 2024 (and we're still fulfilling it... 🤦‍♀️) and it was AWESOME (aside from this 2-year-old debt lol, but that's on us).

ANYWAY, this sounds like an awesome stream, and we're excited to give it a watch 🙌
How much should I playtest?
Where do I get art?
What do I charge for shipping?
WHAT IS A ZINE!?

Whitney Tsai, Emily Vincent, and Danielle Reynolds have all been on my podcast talking about the effect of tariffs. Combined with names in Suzanne's thread below, I don't want to hear about how white males are the only voices available to discuss. You just need to give them the airtime to speak.
If you want a sense of how white male dominated the tabletop industry still is… look at who’s getting interviewed by media outlets to discuss the tariff crisis.
