This will hit small manufacturers and budding designers hardest of all. Steve Jackson isn’t a small name in this space. A price hike for them is a death knell for a smaller press.

I love me some “-punk” games. But good-got-dang not everything needs to be -punk. I wrote a game that was about actual punks flying pirate ships around a sentient void, but I’m not out here calling my game piratepunk, shippunk, musicpunk, sentientvoidpunk, or trombonepunk.

Funny story: I met Josh and Chris at GameFace Con in Baltimore. The con had been open for 10 minutes. Their games were laid out nicely. They were friendly without being overbearing. Their games were good. I was impressed! Then, to celebrate, [name redacted] spilled a beer across their entire table.

We are sad to announce that we have been told by Wizards that they will no longer support us with either funding or invites to Organized Play events.
Without this support - especially the invites - it is impossible for us to continue, and there will be no more VML seasons going forward.
