Now that the preorder has been out for a month and the final files are sent over and approved, it's about time to show off what I've been working on since I finished DAWN. A game I plan to Itchfund soon called "Dollhouse" (1/7)
New design post!
Turns out I had more to say about the first part of this than I thought, so this post will be in two parts, one this week and one next. I'm also going in for surgery tomorrow, so the one next week might be a bit delayed, but it should still come out.

Turns out if you just act like a freak in coc games the gm stops making you take sanity checks, this might be optimal play.

Playing Arknights has been like rediscovering lost chapters of Gilgamesh for me, after playing so many gacha games it's crazy to play the one that they all stole from, and seeing where it does things right that the imitators didn't understand.

Really encouraging everyone who believes that tabletop games deserve better to go and read this series - It single handedly got me to unmute the words "Ennies" and "Awards" on this site
Last week, I published a 4-part series. A behind-the-scenes tour, breakdown, and critique of the Ennie Awards and other rpg award shows.
This is my last article about it (hurray). A summary with all the links in one spot. If you missed it, catch up here.
