[email protected] just released That ONE Color, an 8-page mini zine about embracing your least favorite colors through fun facts, airing old beefs, and trying to recreate the color with stuff around the house, like condiments!

Whitney Tsai, Emily Vincent, and Danielle Reynolds have all been on my podcast talking about the effect of tariffs. Combined with names in Suzanne's thread below, I don't want to hear about how white males are the only voices available to discuss. You just need to give them the airtime to speak.

If you want a sense of how white male dominated the tabletop industry still is… look at who’s getting interviewed by media outlets to discuss the tariff crisis.

You might want to look at beth-and-angel-make-games.itch.io 's submission to #LDJAM #LD57 if you're into #boardgames!

it's a really nice take by cool people on some solo push your luck/blackjack adjacent design, wrapped in a narrative campaign. Insane amount of work for 72h + really nicely crafted!
bethmakesgames.bsky.social
Yep, Angel nailed it here. We both pride ourselves on giving back as much as we can.

Honestly probably 30-50% of our time as creators is in a form of giving back in one of those ways in her screenshot. We know that we've learned a lot from others and prioritize sharing that 🧡
bethmakesgames.bsky.social
LOL I totally get it. I basically just use it when I have something to share, and then I see I have notifications and deal with them 😅
bethmakesgames.bsky.social
This is the most graphical work (messing with Canva assets) and narrative I've ever done, and it was all in a 72-hour period. And again... FORTY PAGES!!! 😮

I'll put out a full postmortem of it later, and there's still lots of work to do, but WHEW! 😅

I couldn't be prouder of our Ludum Dare game! It's inspired by Alan Wake, but entirely its own thing. A FREE 40-page solo campaign card game, the game explores the difficulty of resisting greed & missing knowing what's "enough" in fantastical mines.

If you're one of those "where are the protests" because the news has been ignoring them the past two months, there are 25,000 people gathered in DC today, and 20+ blocks full of people in Manhattan, and that's just two cities.

The protests have been happening; you're just being lied to again.

Our #LDJAM game is now a campaign game! We've got the first two rounds down, and the core gameplay is set. Now we just have some additional rounds to go, and eventually we need to convert the Google Doc into Canva and fancy it up
