QuestionableContent.net has been a daily webcomic read for me for like 10 years now, and this (commentary from today's random-throwback-comic-while-the-creator-is-on-holiday-break) is probably a big reason why.

Says his parents were both in the military, which made it easy for him to start working as a chef because no one yelled louder than his parents already had, lol. #NextGenChef #Netflix

I feel like part of the tapestry, slinging stickers out in my local neighborhood market.
At this point, I want to start carrying a local newspaper or zine or something.

If you would like to help get the word out about Indie rpgs, one of the best things you can do is run them for people you do not know. I run games for underserved populations in libraries, bookstores, youth centers, wherever anyone will have me. Volunteer to run games in your communities.
