It’s felt silly posting our little dice pictures during *motions to everything*.
We are a small, Canadian business who fosters a community of shared storytelling through games.

Also, I keep hearing people say “the Trekkie fandom is toxic”. These assholes are not really Trekkies. I’ve been to the cons, I’ve been doing reviews and podcasts for nearly a decade. These people weren’t part of the community. They’re showing up now because they’re jumping on a grifter hate train.

Related, I need an artist who:
1) is open to creating fuckable monster / alien art
2) needs paid work
3) would rather eat a shoe than use AI
If you're intrigued and wish to know more, @ me a link to some fuckable monsters you've designed. If chosen, I'll DM & we'll go from there.
