Hi all! I'm Steph Campbell, who you may know as the person behind @ttrpgkids.com!
I decided it was time to make my own profile, and I'm looking forward to being "me" here and also sharing some of my non-TTRPGkids related projects 👀

This is a sobering read that starts from a straightforward premise: look at how the poverty threshold is calculated in the US and see how well it holds up as an actual measure.
I expected it to be bad. It’s much worse, in ways it’s hard not to see.

"Invisible Things" by Andy Pizza and Sophie Miller is like guided meditation for kids. It walks us through things we can't see - emotions and experiences from our other senses. Then it asks us to take time to understand what we're feeling right now.

I released a new game over on @ttrpgkids.com!
This is part of a little series I'm doing that teaches about folklore and history in a fun way through short, easy to play games.
Also... if anyone wants to guess what the next on is going to be about... hints: 🌊🐲🏰

A new game is out!
This is my third little brochure game on Irish legends and history, this time exploring the significance of the Hill of Tara while also taking a look at how few artifacts from the past survive.
Check it out here, and happy gaming!

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

If you find an indie game you like, PLEASE talk about it on social media. You can make a developer go from being completely unknown to actually able to make money just by spreading the word.
The fact that itch posted this and not even an hour later I got a bunch of new sales proves how big it is when other people talk about your games.
It can literally be a life changing events.
When John Harper made a nice quote tweet about Breathless, hundreds of people looked at the game.

Got home from Pax U last night, and today is what I have dubbed the post-convention "potato" day that happens after almost every big event like this.
I had a GREAT time, but wow does that exhaustion hit, especially when you feel the need to get caught up.
