If you happen to be in Boston next week I'll be part of a design panel chatting about the choices I made in my upcoming ttrpg, Black Flies! There was also a game running afterwards, but it looks like that sold out: www.eventbrite.com/e/game-desig...

I know myself and SEVERAL designers have been absolutely HYPED learning about this project as it's been going through development.
Really unique voice, art, style - it's not every day you see something genuinely *new* in the #ttrpg space. This is one of those special projects.
Please take a look.

Our first in our series of little zines are now at Goosepoop Games!

SIX is a quick little ttrpg perfect for new players, and Good Times Good Tools is great tool to make sure everyone is having a good time.

Hey obviously mind scope creep and all to your ability, but a marketplace hub for TTRPGs could also have blog post feature, and similar global articles hub feed where users could link to games on-site they're reviewing or talking about in an article. It would be THE place for creators and reviewers.

Stop thinking of other creators as competition. They're your party members. When one of you levels up, the whole group gets stronger. When one gets opportunities, everyone benefits from the raised profile of TTRPGs.

E) Different games are made for and effectively produce different experiences. I pick games based on the stories they were designed to tell.

More and more people reporting today that Stripe - the payment processor that Itch said were putting the most pressure on them - now have staff actively confirming that yes, they are censoring LGBT content, adult or otherwise. That this is official company policy.

This seems kinda significant.

Still not sure which one, but they are committing all their profits from it to a trans charity.

A Harry Potter-Themed Board Game Is Donating All Profits to Trans Charity

Publisher Czech Games Edition said they were “devastated” that the product was causing “harm instead of joy.”

They got a lot of well-deserved pushback from it, but they made a statement this week that (I'd guess they can't back out of the contract or production costs but) they'll be donating all profits to LGBTQIA+ charity.

Obviously not perfect but a respectable voluntary backpedal at their expense.

Hugely agree. My favorite projects I've done have always been art, poetry, literature as well as games that say something or have a point. Things made for the sake of Content are cringe nothings.

"But who would want all those terrible noises?" asked Milo, holding his ears.

"Everybody does," said the surprised doctor; "they're very popular today. Why, I'm kept so busy I can hardly fill the orders for noise pills, racket lotion, clamor salve, and hubbub tonic. That's all people seem to want."

Milo, Tock, and the Humbug, peering into Kakofonous A Dischord’s wagon, as the doctor (with giant ears and a huge stethoscope) pours sound from a vial into a beaker

My future videos may have a watermark for IP protection, an intro to identify and qualify me, and an overall more structured formula for consistency and quality.

I know to get serious and professional about this now. Bear with me as I try to find the balance of effective but not too annoying!

The content thief's channel was deleted! Yay! It hurt to have my creative work stolen and unethical for them to steal stitches with other creators off-platform without their consent too.

Going forward my posts may have a watermark, brief intro, and better post formula while I'm at it too.
