The Deluxe Edition of What Dust Remains is now out!

52 haunting pages for a game of legacy and sacrifice. In this sweeping narrative game, build the life of a Pioneer struggling to achieve meaning in their life.

momatoes.itch.io/what-dust-re...

A promo material for What Dust Remains, showing a mockup of the book and a glowing review at the top: "Impassioned and intriguing card-prompted questions along with focused, intense moments of dice rolls that helped move the story along, What Dust Remains challenged me to discover, explore, and sit in moments of despair and desperation."

The juxtaposition of the vibrant hues and the underlying melancholy in the tone is profoundly revealing.

Sometimes, usually in October, I will have a month long panic attack where I am convinced at all times that a malevolent force is standing right behind me. 1/10, do not recommend this experience.

Caught up on the livecast from this week. Someone mentioned that other companies are starting to put 'no ai was used' kind of notes on their games and in rulebooks. I think y'all might be interested to know that there is a movement there and people look for that!

Useful tip for folks running A PERFECT WIFE (or any other rpg set in a SEAsian city):

If somebody at your table can't make a session, handwave as: they got stuck in a traffic gridlock, cannot get free for three hours

I put up a goal on my ko-fi because I want to help my parents pay for my matriculation fees.

My mom lost her full-time job so my dad has taken on most of our expenses.

Any amount will help immensely! If you can't give anything, even sharing this around will help, too.

Lilancholy is back in a new paperback printing! I'll be running a small, short backerkit campaign in TWO SATURDAYS to raise the funds for it. It features new layout from me, removing the old layout artist completely, a new forward by me, and it won't have my deadname on it anymore :3

The games programme I was teaching at is winding down so I won’t have any more teaching work. After September I’ll have a lot more time free so if anyone’s got leads on cool game projects, I’m available!

Here is my occasional note: if you are black TTRPG designer and can use help with anything - design advice, brainstorming, connections - please feel free to reach out and I will do what I can to help or find someone who can help.

We need more black TTRPG designers.

Hello, hello! It's my birthday this month and I would appreciate some help towards my medical debt. 🙏

Hello, hello.
Earlier this year, after some medical appointments, my medicine costs hiked a lot. The job search has also not panned out yet. I've incurred a little bit of debt because of these expenses and would like to ask for some help.
