I think I'm going to get off this platform for a while. I'm struggling enough right now without the constant reminders of how fucked everything is and the ridiculous fucking discourse about it. My email address is there if you need me.

So maybe some of you naval historians will know: where on earth can I find the Asiatic Squadron Letters? I keep seeing them cited in writing on the US Navy but I can't find any bibliographic information. Specifically looking for the 1867-1868 timeframe.

The faith @laurieblake.bsky.social puts in both hope and humanity is admirable, and they infused it all into Why We Fight.
I'm more cynical on games leading us to community action, but RPGs such as this, Mad as Hell, ECO MOFOS, etc. show a hunger for radical storytelling engines.

Why We Fight's designer believes RPGs can teach players how to put their politics into direct, radical action, even if the steps between tables and communities aren't so clear.

I think there should be a law requiring him and only him to change his last name to reflect whichever company he's working with and right now, for the sake of journalistic integrity, I believe we and the press should all be referring to him by his upcoming name, "Doug Megatron."

I spoke with five artists and writers who felt blindsided and betrayed by the way Jay Dragon and Possum Creek Games handled the future of Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast. What was supposed to be a monumental RPG from a beloved indie publisher will likely never be printed in the same form again.
Five creators who worked on Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast have spent the past year fighting a legal battle against Possum Creek Games and Steve Jackson Games. Neither the tabletop RPG nor their working relationships survived the fallout.

Apropos of nothing have you considered unionizing lately? If you're in the US consider looking into the Freelancers Union
This whole space needs to fucking UNIONIZE. From designers, to Actual Play people, to the worked in your LGS. All of us from the bottom to the top.
