@819Steph.bsky.social just released a new solo journaling RPG video, this time featuring Auspex by @smolghost.bsky.social. This game takes us to a world on the brink of destruction, as the player takes on the role of a diviner guiding the change through their advice. Curious?

I wanted to highlight some of the weirder offerings we have at #paxunplugged!

I’ll start with Public Guest 5. It’s our solo TTRPG about living beneath an artificial menacing planet. You roll 2 dice once every real-world day until your world explodes. Until it does, you live your life well.

i've been chattering abt this in as non-stop a way as someone who is talking about something that hasn't been published yet can possibly chatter & i'm excited to now un-qualify that. bc of who i am & the wrenching ways that this game approaches companionship & creation. personal context attached

Wanna make your mask cuter? Punk-er? Worthy of compliments from strangers who might otherwise question why you're wearing one in the first place?

Canadians! Some action you can take is signing petitions actually going before the Canadian House of Commons.

Here's a petition aimed at closing the arms export loophole:

the Kickstarter for Full Send is running out of time and my stretch goal is the next in sight! let's make some subterranean action happen! 🧗‍♀️
As we approach the 24 hour mark, we're just over £1000 away from our next stretch goal: getting @smolghost.bsky.social to write a caving supplement for the book.

If enough of our project followers back, we'll get there. It's within touching distance.

Hey Toronto,

Come shop at the Mutual Aid Market on Saturday! I'll be there with my mask chains and a few glasses chains/earrings/etc. A percentage of my sales goes directly to families in need.

Hey Canadian friends, let's sign this petition!! It takes less than 2 minutes and is an official thing you can do 💪

For context, Canada's C-2 bill paves the way for the US gov't to access Canada's private civilian data based on "security of the border", and "other security measures". It's bad!
Canada's C-2 bill is both a gross overreach of govt surveillance into citizen's privacy, as well as extremely anti-immigrant/racist!

please do not forget to sign this petition alongside the others if you are canadian. This bill is bad news, but we can beat it!

Rather channel the hits? Try something classic, like
🏰In Ruins - @mallenhall.com, a solo+ dungeon crawl beginning in a new castle, continuing as the castle weathers and crumbles, and ending as a skirmish for power
🧙🏽Auspex - @smolghost.bsky.social, tarot-reading practice at end of the world

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.
