Hot damn, only just seen Brute Fort got a write-up on Wargamer. Thank you @tjohnlinward.bsky.social ♥️ www.wargamer.com/brute-fort/d...
This tiny cassette-tape board game has immaculate dungeonpunk vibes
Brute Fort is a gnarly loveletter to zine culture and old school dungeon crawling, and a board game that fits into a double cassette case.

Y'know what I love about Iglootree.com ? The easy thing to do would be to stock and promote indie stuff from people with huge followings; have your cake and eat it, so to speak. Instead it's a huge pile of mad books made by people who loved something.

This made me kind of emotional. David, Daniel and Chris really seemed to understand lot of the things I was trying to do with Thousand Empty Light.

Ultimately it *is* a module that's a metaphor for solo play and being alone.

I ended up getting this, a Nuphy Air75 v2. Whilst no-one suggested this particular keyboard, everyone's suggestions helped point me in the right direction (so thank you).

I'm typing this with tasteful mechanical thocks.
