I can only assume it is somehow RPG related, so you may be interested in some of my RPG work:

Getting prototypes is always exciting, finally getting to hold it in your hands... It also helps us spot mistakes and errors that we just didn't notice on screen! Like the page number on the front cover 😶

New A5 prototype of Direct Action just dropped 👀

An A5 book of Why We Fight: Direct Action sitting on a wooden shelf against a deep purple wall. The cover of the book is bright orange and features a feminine person holding a bow and arrow about to shoot off to the left. To the left of the book, a mushroom decoration, with the spines of various graphic novels behind it. Poking out above is a small metal sword sticking out of a funky glass jar of colourful glass beads.

Sorry for being so quiet these past few weeks! We've been uh... Busy. A certain someone decided wetwipes were a snack worthy of the 3hr complicated surgery to remove them, and month-long recovery... 😩

Comments From Our Judges:
"This is the kind of debut game I wish I had made: unflinching but hopeful, clear in voice, and not trying to please everyone. The ‘Personality and Hardship’ discoveries are exactly the kind of low-prep, high-payoff mechanics I love."

Well this was amazing to wake up to! Check out the thread to read what the judges have to say about Why We Fight

Tabletop Arts Fund @tabletopartsfund.org · Jun 15

Why we fight by @laurieblake.bsky.social is a game about resistance, memory, and radical hope. You play partisans fighting fascism—not with brute force alone, but through solidarity, sacrifice, and care. Advance not by violence, but by building bonds strong enough to carry a revolution.

Promotional graphic for Why We Fight, a tabletop RPG by Laurie Blake of Stop, Drop and Roll Games. The background features a parchment texture with bold navy and red framing. The title appears at the top in all-caps navy text, with the creator’s name and studio listed below.

Two images are featured side by side:

On the left: the cover art for Why We Fight. It shows a determined woman with braided hair drawing a bow against a backdrop of city skyline and helicopters. Her stance is focused and fierce, evoking resistance and survival. The title is rendered in a distressed white font.

On the right: a photo of three smiling individuals standing in front of a booth for “Pugs in Mugs.” One has bright blue hair, one has long red hair, and one is bald with a goatee. All three wear lanyards and appear to be at a convention, radiating joy and camaraderie.
