@junobeach.bsky.social This is a *phenomenal* campaign. I was deeply moved by this spontaneous gift & am grateful to know about Frank & how we're connected.

We make historical games about women serving in WW2! If you're ever looking for a connection in immersive experience design, pls ping us!

Check out the Holiday Heist bundle! In Our Last Meal, players co-create a community that has just lost a central member, and then come together to share one last meal with them. An easy-access big feels dinner party larp for 3-8 people.

Our Last Meal, Mo's home larp about food, love and complicated grief is available in the Holiday Heist bundle - it's such a steal of a deal that it's CRIMINAL!

Thanks to our generous Lumberjill Benefactor @jenkatwrites.bsky.social a War Birds Kiva Loan has been sent to Amal - a sewist and Syrian refugee sheltering in Jordan. Because of good timing we were able to get a Kiva partner to double the impact of Jen's generosity!

Can you help support Amal?
Kiva is a loan, not a donation. With Kiva you can lend as little as $25 and make a big change in someone's life.

With 48 hours left, Lumberjills is funded and $1,812 away from reaching the first stretch goal! Because Lumberjills in the woods is extra magical, it lets us hire someone to make the dance card generator work while offline.

So yesterday I talked about racial diversity in Lumberjills, and today I'm doing a thread on telling queer stories with the game. First we need to talk about history games vs. historical fantasy games. A very long 🧵...

The awesome @genesisoflegend.bsky.social started a thread a few days ago to dig into why Lumberjills might not be funding as fast as expected. Somebody mentioned that the campaign read as offputtingly white and heteronormative - so I wanted to talk about that.

Shout out to one of our Lumberjills backers: Annie Norman of Bad Squiddo Games. She hosts the largest collection of minis of the bad ass women of history, fantasy & the future. Check out these Jills and her whole WWII collection - so amazing! badsquiddogames.com/shop

And of course, this wouldn't be a War Birds game if we didn't point out that in Scotland there was a wide variety of women hard at work doing home front service alongside the Lumberjills.

Yesterday we posted about the Canadian Forestry Corps, and today we'll do the Newfoundland Overseas Forestry Unit (NOFU)!

But isn't Newfoundland part of Canada? Not in WWII it wasn't!

@widdledragon.bsky.social has come up with the most delightfully nerdy concept: fanart of characters she's played (or designed) from other games who are getting their romance on by playing the Lumberjills larp!

I love it, it's rpgs all the way down.

Want to read about the Lumberjills? They are fascinating and the NYT wrote a great article about them. www.nytimes.com/2019/03/20/w...

If only there was a indie 4-person larp currently kickstarting about them.
