1) Ai art is wrong
2) Artist should be payed for their work
3) Small TTRPG passion projects have zero budget
4) I have zero illustration skills

Said so, I'm working on a small Mothership adventure desperately needing for some illustrations and zero options to have them. This is frustrating.

Today I was considering a TTRPG on kickstarter: Midnight Muscarines. Unfortunately it's a US product and the unpredictability of the trade war currently ongoing made me reconsider. No more US products for me for the next 4 years, whenever possible.

The Post Trauma Demo is another game that reminded me of the classic #ResidentEvil if it was directed by Wes Anderson. Absolutely worth your time, so check it out! @rawfury.bsky.social

One of the biggest surprise of this #NextFest on #Steam was the Cairn Demo. Cairn is for climbing what Steep was to skiing: pure simulation bliss. Sure, probably there will be achievements and stuff, but I will gladly play it just for the pleasure of climbing a mountain. Loved it! #videogames #Cairn

The Scarlet Lake Demo is an isometric horror game reminding me of the first #ResidentEvil
It's hard balancing the horror elements with exploration and combat without resulting easy or frustrating. Scarlet Lake nailed said balance. Try it out!

I am so sad, she was so ebullient as a child and I identified with her

I had the same feelings
I was bullied in School until I was older and became “pretty” and “popular”
It was rough for a poor kid, who was different
Rest easy now, Michelle
I won’t forget you 🕊️

I tried the Twisted Tower Demo for the #SteamNextFest.
Simply put, ine of the best FPS in recent memory. It's a #boomershooter who does not try to mimic one.
Give it a go, if you want.

I'm writing a scenario for Coriolis, ment to be used as a campaign starter. I hate the publishing guidelines so much that I'm pondering to convert it in a generic sci-fi scenario to just put it on itch.io. The templates given by Free League are terrible too. #RPG #Coriolis

And the winner is: me!
Last week my journaling game won the "Furgone d'oro" ("Golden Van") award as the italian TTRPG who sold the most copies on dungeondice.it and all the related channels.
Let's hope this will spark interest in some non-italian editions *wink wink*
