hi #portfolioday! I'm a videogame designer from Brazil but I also work on my own #TTRPG books and art! My material is filled with references to Latin America!
Namely my solo TTRPG system, Dungeons of Galora.
I also write a lot of #mausritter adventures!

I'm very good at communication. I need a friend's address so I can post some stuff they left behind and my way of asking for it was just sending them this image.

Happy Monday.
Shipping prices on my website are going up on 01/02

I've been keeping them artificially low for a year now, they will still be lower than what it actually costs but their current level is untenable.

Feel free to pick something up today at the lower rate at twelvepinspress.com

Publishing a short physical collection of my "political" games (this game does not condone murder, regime change super soldiers, and some unpublished games like High Score) to raise money for Hands Off Venezuela. Illustrated by the fantastic @hodagrpg.bsky.social DM/comment if interested

I've also noticed this and it was a big motivating factor for me beginning to bundling smaller games in one physical release that I'd sell at a higher price
Something I’ve also noticed over the years: people won’t choose to buy either:
One £40 game
Or
Four £10 games.

They’ll buy one or two games. Full stop. They’re in fact more likely to buy the £40 game plus supplements than four smaller games. It’s all about the way people view spending and value.

Now of course I’m not saying “present a 12 page game as 176 pages.” I’m not saying “pad that shit out to make more money”. I’m saying “consider this stuff when you plan a game for sale”

(And there’s way more complexity to how this all works, I know that. But this is a single model of one aspect)

We can finally remake Breaking Bad
I watched a rom com Christmas heist film over the holidays, and its set in Britain and one character needs money for private medical costs

Obviously the NHS having been dismantled is bad, but this is a great time for British writers wanting simple character motivations

Upgrading my laptop for a couple of reasons but one is that it'll make it easier to podcast and I do think the fact I say shit like that is why the government has put so much effort into killing me

"I’m with the Damned is one of those games that’s hard to do justice in review form. While reading the game, you’ll quickly realize that it’s something special, but it’s not until you play it that its true brilliance gets revealed."

This screening is nearly sold out except for the two wheelchair spaces

Do I book now to be safe or gamble on surely there won't be three wheelchair users with the same idea
I'm by myself this new years day, which I'm faintly sure has never before been the case in my life
