Seriously, hire them. Their dedication and zeal borders on the unhinged and that energy will absolutely be something you want.
Reminder that I do game design consultancy for $25-50/hr (depending on complexity)
I have a decade of experience making RPGs and complex games and can promise that with the spreadsheets and patch notes that I've caused and written, I can handle whatever nonsense you have.

fuck if I know but maybe if we want dimension 20 to play another game we should stop trying to prove the ease and efficacy of other systems to fans who will only ever play 5e and instead posit that it's more in line with Dropout's values to support small press over a billion dollar toy company

Been trying to get back into game dev stuff and I'm super proud that I finally figured out how to make pathfinding actually look halfway decent!

Imagine what would happen if big name actual play shows played indie games or if those GMs talked about indie games?
You can legitimately improve an individual’s life just by talking about their games.
If you are a part of this community, it seems irresponsible to not talk these games.

Last year, an author mentioned my shop on her substack. It changed my income so drastically that this is the spike of orders from that *one* mention last year. Word of mouth for an artist can change everything.

Made new friends by hanging pieces of paper on our windows to communicate back and forth and now I'm running ICON for them!
This is the first time I've made local adult friends since college and I could not be happier!!!

Woah! The Legends in the Mist book has a solo adventure that you run yourself through to learn how to play the game!
Very cool way to teach the game. I'm a fan.

I've been playing Death Howl for all of 10 minutes and I'm already incredibly excited for this game.
It's a souls-like / deck-building / tactics game and if that's your thing, you need to check this game out.

Wait, so if you subscribe to a blocklist, then the creator deletes the blocklist, everyone on there is permanently blocked with no way to see who was on it?
Anyone know how to view deleted blocklists I'm still subscribed to?

Even when you look at the numbers piracy is rad as fuck 🏴☠️
One study showed that in the games industry piracy contributed a statistically significant increase in sales.
Another found that on average individuals that pirate end up purchasing twice as much legally as those who don't.

All of the dumbass dipshits who say this never actually have anything like hard evidence or proof that piracy impacts livelihoods, no numbers, no charts or graphs, they have nothing except endless vibes-based scolding and an unearned sense of their own rightness
Yes, piracy is theft.
This is an exhausting and idiotic as hell argument.
Stealing people’s livelihood is a shit move. Don’t do it.

Bad games are the best games because they create game designers. If 5e were perfect, there would be only one game. Instead, 5e sucks so there are 10,000 tiny indie games that suck less and that’s beautiful
