I am thrilled to see that Designers & Dragons: Origins is in the black. @evilhat.bsky.social went out on a limb with an expensive full-color 4-book HC line, because I'm annoying and send a ton of books at once. And they paid $45k up front to produce the books, and *you* have made that work.

If we adjusted our games' prices for inflation—prices in this industry have a tendency to calcify at whatever their initial one was when originally released, so we generally don't—many titles would go up notably. Here's a spreadsheet where I run the (coarse) numbers: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

James is the co-creator of PREQUEL, and his next project looks just as great!

Love games that mess with maps.

My latest video is a brief overview of some duet games I think slot well into comparisons of Wicked! This is unabashedly an algorithm play, but I still shout out "Tangled Blessings," "Break Up on ReEntry," "A Knife to Your Throat," "Soft Shell," and "It's Been a Long Time Coming."

💔 Alice Wong’s last words: “Don’t let the bastards grind you down.”

We can never thank Alice enough for fighting all the good fights and especially all the hard fights. We all learned so much from your brilliance, your courage, and your indefatigable leadership. We will never forget you.
This is Alice's friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice's wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing. Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin. We need more stories about us and our culture. You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.

I don't brag enough on @jesspendley.com and @undergroundoracle.com but what she and Keith do best is create weird, wonderful scenarios. I met them in 5e, followed them to Cypher, and am thrilled to see Black Flag and Daggerheart in the mix. UO is looking for a few more patreon subs, check them out!
