Yochai you're so cool
Next month I will launch Cairn Press.
I tried to make a publishing agreement that is fair, free, and mutually beneficial. Once the lawyer approves final contract I'll release it as CC-BY-SA, if possible. I've also written up a "plain English" version that you can read here:

I started this up today. I'll try to keep it a fun daily writing ritual, but if I fall behind so be it.
I probably won't go a whole year either, as I can't imagine making 52 districts for a city.
I'm double dipping and doing this for both Vohesh and Helios.

I just uploaded what is likely the last playtest update for GILA.
That means the release is coming. It will have a new name, logo, and cover art. It will also have a suite of starter stuff including an adventure and dungeon.
And it will all be PWYW. Get hyped.

Decolonising the Dungeon Crawl---
Like everything else re: decolonisation and TTRPGs discourse, this is a solved problem. There's only metric that matters:
How many creators from the colonised world are participating in and able to make a living from their games?
That's *it*.

Truly saddening news. When I was starting out trying my hand at game design, Steve was my first mentor (through the Tabletop Mentorship Program). His love for games and play was always vividly evident.

Amidst the horrors, we still make things
I started reading papers about gahum to fill in the blanks I have in sorcery
but reading more just made me realize how much sorcerous power (magic) is connected to social power (debt, dominion)
so now I'm thinking about how to do that for Mangayaw

the difficulty in designing mangayaw is find the balance between making a game I would like to play and one that is true to complex systems of society and culture at play in Philippine folklore

We're alive to love things, learn things, and make things. That's it. That's our whole task in our short bright flash of life. Love, learn, and create. The more love, learning, and making stuff you put in the world - the love, harmony, beauty, justice, compassion and mercy of existence - the better.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.
