Sunk Cost: Early Access Edition by Magnolia Keep
Sword and Submarine roleplaying!
scalemaster2.itch.io
Sunk Cost, the game I made for @diwatamnl.bsky.social's Deep Water Jam, is now out on itch (in Early Access)! Plunder the ruins of Cardinal Basin, a once-great land now under half a mile of water, and slowly lose your mind and health in the process!

The pervasive, entrenched, and unexamined assumption that underpins huge swathes of the hobby to the effect of "nobody ever plays an RPG rules-as-written, if you do this you're a joyless deranged freak tyrant" feels very weird to me, as someone who has historically played most RPGs as-written

When I first transitioned, I would drive a mile to a public gender neutral bathroom rather than use one at work. I found out later a dozen staff held “meetings” about what they would do if I used the women’s room. I was their boss’s boss at the time, still had no recourse, just had to let it happen.
The BBC reporting on Beth Upton’s current employment situation is definitely not in the public interest, and it is insane how much the British press freely get away with harassing her for the crime of simply living her life existing as a trans person in the UK.

Idk what's going on with the PR strategy for this game but I have talked to multiple games press people who have never heard of it and it's QUITE GOOD!! Way more of a crowd pleaser than something like Cronos and yet is getting 1/100th the promotion.
And it's less than $20?????

Really surprised I haven't seen more buzz about Crisol: Theater of Idols! Couple hours in and it's polished, mechanically neat and has a ton of style.

Dude regularly works for Disney, DreamWorks, Netflix and CN so speculate away. But this sucks no matter which studio is doing it, and gross to think some major movie this year is running with a plagiarized image from ChatGPT.

I keep seeing folks say they'll just accept a Teen Friendly account on Discord rather than scan or ID and I don't know if I wanna mass normalize leaving NSFW pals out in the cold yet again. Especially with all the censorship stuff goin on I think we gotta stand with the freaks now more than ever.

The game you are about to play is a product of its time. It may depict the PS3, which was commonplace in society. These depictions were wrong then and are wrong today.

Given how the field of librarianship is dominated by white women, sometimes I wonder if I've made it more or less diverse by transitioning.

One of the contributing factors to this, if you read between the lines, is the PILOT tax abatement that ends at the end of this year. Big box stores pay a lot in property tax, and this is a Good Thing; in fact, I'd make it exponential and add in further assessments for square footage if I could.
It might be silly to some, but a lot of Memphians were really proud of this IKEA. Of all the places they could have put it, they chose us, and they made it huge and cool, calling back to the cavernous furniture showrooms of old.
It'll be missed.
More thoughts, over on my campaign account...
