you take the blue pill, and you'll become drowsy, then wake up in your bed. in addition to relieving your headache, fever, and cough.

you take the red pill, you experience relief for those same symptoms. but you won't get sleepy

I honestly think I might be more proud of those than I am of the game, truly my magnum opus.

Many years ago I did a show called Sagas of Sundry.

It was immersive horror, great storytelling, and reality show style skill challenges.

Now I want to bring it back, but call it Tales of Dread.

But I need your help. So I'm taking this project to Kickstarter.

Anica Cihla @atticus.haus · 1d

really think of myself as pretty organized despite my unmedicated ADHD and then i learn today that i’ve had pet insurance for the last three years and didn’t know so i’ve been paying out of pocket for all their appointments and dental surgery while also paying for the unused insurance so that’s cool

AI is not sentient. LLMs are not sentient. I fully, unshakably know this is inarguably true. I also cannot stop myself from thanking Siri whenever I ask her to do something.

When you go to print your #TTRPG remember that you need to charge at least about 6x the cost to print for sustainability.

Small to midsize publishers can take advantage of scale & you can't.

You are not Wizards, Evil Hat, Exalted Funeral, or Modiphius.

Ideally charge 10x an pay a bill.
