I’ve been meaning to drop them a note to say thank you for making the video! By my tiny indie standards, it has driven a boom in sales, and it’s still going a month on.

I hadn’t thought to read the comments — I hope all these folks new to solo games are having a grand time!

Also, happy birthday Marx!

The Golden Mole, by Katherine Rundell. Just an absolute delight, perhaps even better when read aloud.

“A common swift, in its lifetime, flies about two million kilometres; enough to fly to the moon and back twice over, and then once more to the moon. For at least ten months of every year, it never ceases flying; sky-washed, sleeping on the wing, it has no need to land.”

This is a super interesting conversation in the context of minis games, where I am constantly searching for (and so rarely finding) innovative approaches to mechanics. Going to have to think on it a little bit more, but thanks for sharing!

(And for asking, @lariassmuth.bsky.social!)

Which reminds me! I need to talk to you about a thing…

(What a set of books, Si! Just stunning work for all of them.)

I give you The Humble Tape Measure, which is apparently ‘a small case from which an extendable measuring tape can be deployed by hand.’

Amazing! I've just sent you an email -- I hope you enjoy!

Aww shucks -- thanks Becky, Jeff! You're both very kind. 😊 (And also legendary time warriors...)

@itsquinns.bsky.social, if you'd like to take a look at Against Time and Death I'd be more than happy to send it your way!

Yesss! I feel like I successfully found all the bicycles on my first try.

Ha! That might be the perfect solution!

Err, I mean, that might be the perfect fucken solution carn the mighty Dons?

Oh, you're so welcome! Thank you for taking the time to play it!

Fabric and Spirit, hey -- that's an interesting pairing! What are the concepts underpinning each, if I can ask?

Oh, that's amazing to hear! I'm glad you're having a good time with it! It's also nice to hear that it's working in slow time - that was always my hope, that it could fit around busy lives, but it's nice to see it working!

So... which factions are your operatives fighting for?

Please do! 😁

I’m re-watching B5 right now, as you know, so if anything I’m even more keen to hear more about Born to the Purple!

Oh, so did you adopt Deep Cuts wholesale? Interesting!

I can definitely see myself switching to the downtime and harm rules — those seem like real winners to me — but I’m less sure about the threat rolls. Honestly can’t remember how advancement has changed!
