📣PSA for my fellow TTRPG creators:

**AI generation disclosure on itch**

Now on itch, your games have to be manually tagged (via a tick box in their edit page, after "description" and "tags") to show up in non-AI searches.

Spread the news!

It's cool to imagine a universe where thinking deeply and critically about who you are, who you have been, and who you ultimately want to be come is wholly celebrated and supported, both for characters who do choose to change in all sorts of ways, and characters who are comfortable as they are.
