Life has been throwing curveballs lately, but if everything goes according to plan, I will be at Dragonmeet this year!

This is very exciting to me, so if you’re there and we’ve interacted in the past, don’t be afraid to say hi! I’m the scruffy Swedish speaking Finn who’ll look a bit lost!

Yes this exactly! I would further stress that if you are willing and able to put the time and work in to write and do layout you can publish digitally for effectively a zero dollar per game budget. I’ve done it. Physical production and distribution change that…
Then figure out how much money you actually have that you can burn, and decide how you want to spend that. I recommend PDFs on itch.io & payhip, then the most DIY print-run of 10-50 copies at your local print shop & your closest gaming convention, then the Affinity design suite when it's on sale.

What great timing, I’d just caught up and finished the last episode during my commute today!
I’ve been enjoying the heck out of this series, highly recommended!

So let's talk about why this sucks. I am so angry and so disappointed, but I also know that a lot of people might not understand why I and my queer friends are feeling this way. Read on for an explanation 🧵(1/14)

There's this moment in gameplay when you realize that the events of the game have turned against you. We're playing the Night Cage and we realize that we're not going to make it. We're playing Hearts and I realize that I'm the one holding the losing hand.
