Can anyone make a suggestion for a good company to use for a small run of a custom card game we just designed?

Can I just say that cards against humanity do some awesome hilarious stuff and that I think that I respect those crazy fuckers! Inspired by their recent settlement with Fuquad Musk's SpaceX. Who wants to help us with the graphic design for our dragon poker deck?

We try to keep the conversations to the important stuff. You know ttrpgs, stories, game philosophy, etc
But sometimes I can't help myself.

Genuine question
Am I the only person you regularly uses typographical maps i their campaigns?

A tip of my hat to the author and designers. Balled my eyes out more than once!
Despite a story that was completely on the rails (well nearly) I was still completely engaged.
Now I have to rethink some things I thought I understood about narrative.

We have been coexisting with so-called "AI" for over 2 years. TTRPGs have never been under more assault than now, and yet, our conversations and initiatives about it are just as lacking as they ever have been. With this Split/Party, we try to address this gap.

Really disappointed the folks at #CriticalRole have decided to continue platforming WotC and Hasbro for C4. Companies who have become such bad stewards of the TTRPG hobby don't deserve such a platform...
Gamers, please DON'T watch actual plays who feature DnD 2024 content.

I'm chatting about how much I like China Mielville.
Tip:
When creating a fantastical world or setting, instead of trying to constantly remind the players that they are in a fantastic world, it is often more effective to have one resonating experience that haunts the players for the rest of the game

So here I am making some quick guides for our appendix and beating myself up because there are 10, very discrete, steps to performing a skill check.
But then I remembered an exercise that I had to do back in college regarding instructing someone on how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich....

I just went to check out Draw Steel, maybe pick up a copy for some casual play. Can someone please validate $70 for the pdf of the core rules. Or that I was on the wrong website? Or that I accidentally woke up in bizarro world?

This is an actual building. No, it did not eat my friend. But that's probably just because I was watching.
Makes me wonder how metaphysical localities might interact with a lone individual while pretending to be mundane and benign when there are potential witnesses.

One of my players just reminded me about a campaign I played in years ago where I ran a character that took a vow of silence. To which I also applied to the table meta discussions.
It was an amazing amount of fun for all of us, AND ran way smoother than anyone thought it would.
