The support that all of the Spacers have shown us this year has ensured that we can pay every artist that works for us a fair wage and we can't wait to reveal some of the other amazing art we have in store for you.

David is an incredibly talented artist who also did the cover art for Xenosalvage and we are so proud to be working with him and all of the other artists working on DarkSpace.

It's still hard to believe that DarkSpace is selling at #GenCon this weekend. Please go give @wetinkgames.bsky.social some love even if you already have DarkSpace. They're fantastic! Cess & Citadel and Wyrd & Wild should be in your #Shadowdark GM Toolkit.

Going to #GenCon and looking to pick up a copy of #DarkSpaceRPG?

Our friends at @wetinkgames.bsky.social will be set up right next to The Arcane Library booth and selling our books!

Also grab Into the Cess and Citadel and Into the Wyrd and Wild! Both are perfect for your #shadowdark needs!

3D Printing some new minis for in-person games when I stumbled on the question: If we're using zone combat/UDT and not bound to the 1-inch grid, why do the miniatures need to be 32mm heroic scale? My middle-aged eyes can actually see what I'm painting!
