Keep the Faith is beginning to ship to backers! Here's me signing one of the first copies at a small convention I attended last week
If you get a copy, I'd love to see it and see how your Aspects stacked up on different Values as you play. Maybe @cmichpress.bsky.social can propose a good hashtag?

Thanks, @skye3.bsky.social!
I was able to play this one with Dan, and—sharing a similar background with my faith—a lot of Dan’s thoughts resonate with mine here. Overall, Keep the Faith provided me with a fun intellectual exercise and thoughtful experience that kept me pondering well after we put the game away.
Keep the Faith is a hybrid tabletop/roleplaying game by @gregisonthego.bsky.social that explores a religion in transition. As if there were any other kind! My review: spacebiff.com/2026/01/13/k...

I’m floored by Dan’s thoughtful, thorny, personal engagement with Keep the Faith.

Thank you!
