Part 3 is here. The deep dive into the Ennies. If you're someone who doesn't know much about the Ennie Awards, you should read parts 1 and 2. But if you like a bit of inside baseball and are interested in award shows in general—this is the article for you.

How are the Ennies designed?
An insider's look into the 2025 Ennie Awards. Part three. How does the structure of the Ennies determine its outcomes? And what does it mean for others?

hey it'd be cool if you bought some zines because shit ain't going so great no more

writing's become unsustainable & I gotta shift my focus and the use of my very limited spoons.

fuck, y'all, writing's been my dream job since the 2nd season of xena first came out. 🤷‍♀️it worked for a while there.

Barkeep on the Borderlands is in its 2nd printing! It is now perfect bound with a spine and has much more consistent colors in the interior.

To celebrate, the next ~50 orders of Barkeep or the Barkeep Bundle will also come with a random autographed “print proof” page

working on translating Mythic Bastionland's myth style to a modern setting with a lil analog horror flavor 🕯️
from a ttrpg document: "Signals: 1. A woman with boundless energy tells tales to a small crowd of kids. A thin wire snakes from her nape to a nearby outlet. Her eyes are screwed shut; her voice lags behind her lips."
