Listen! My sibling who I adore more than anything in the world has made us D20 and homosexual Gameboy earrings to sell at PAX. Their first sale will put them over the moon, so stop by booth 3850 if this is your jam!

If you see me at PAX, you can get a game, but equally as important you can tell me to respect the owl and not let my Duolingo streak break.

My mom sent me this video saying it reminded her of me when I was little. So I made it into a video that we send each other now if we are fighting and need to just call a truce.
Feel free to pass it on and use it. 🩷

Surprise, we're getting pretty close to the final version of REALIS!
ICYMI: I've been making a TTRPG about mystical moons and living spaceships and sentences that can kill you. A preview is available now (see my pinned post), but the full version draws near!

With PAXU this weekend, I once again come to you with a desperate plea:
Just go to whatever pizza place is nearest to you.
You do not need to go to Cheesesteak Vegas.
You do not need to wait in line outside at Angelos.
Any pizza place will serve you a perfectly serviceable cheesesteak.
I beg you.

After ten years making indie TTRPGs I’ve learned that you don’t have to make *good* games to succeed. It is enough to make *okay* games with humility and regularly scheduled Kickstarter updates.

I struggle with making hacks of our games because I laser-focus on the things I could have done better in the original. Then the hack turns into an unwieldy game of its own and never gets done. Trying to resist that and make small, imperfect things for the people who always liked the game as-is.
