I’m so behind, but glad some yet preserve the old true ways.

Usually 5. When extra stressed or when in a new place, I bump it upward.

The exposed team member was there on their own and not at our booth, so if you were at Metatopia, do your routine tests whether you shopped with us or not.

We'll be resuming shipments and putting copies we no longer need to hold in reserve back into stock at that time.

We're also eagerly awaiting word on when the printer will send out fresh copies of the Bastionlands (both Mythic and Electric). Stay tuned.

Sadly, we also ran out of our listed stock of Mythic Bastionland sometime late yesterday. Normally, I'd run up to the warehouse and review our reserve stock, but I can't do that until Thursday, so we're at 0 until we reassess.

However, we do have printer-damaged copies at 20% off!

Printer Damaged Copies of Mythic Bastionland

IMPORTANT NOTE: These are Mythic Bastionland that sustained minor but visible damage in the printing, binding, and freighting process. They cannot be returned or refunded once purchased. Damage varies...

Due to a potential COVID exposure at Metatopia, @plusoneexp.bsky.social's warehouse team (who were all there as game designers) is working from home until at least Thursday (assuming negative test results continue to that day).

That means we won't resume order shipments until that time.

Thanks to everyone who made Metatopia awesome. Yet again. If we got to spend time together, that was, honestly my favorite part.

A week from now I'm going to be at Metatopia. It'll be my 25th Double Exposure con, and my 8th or 9th Metatopia (I lose count). Here's some tips:

Now's the time of year where my freelance work slows to a crawl and some of my Startplaying #ttrpg campaign sessions begin getting postponed or wrapping up.

If you're looking for someone to run a new system for you and friends or a writer for your project this winter. Hit me up!
