What news on the winds? 🐉

We are so proud to share that GODKILLER: Last Hope picked up the wins for Best Actual Play Video and the festival-wide LGBTQIA+ Diversity Award at the Sydney Web Fest! It means the world that our story of rage, love, and becoming resonates across the globe. Thank you SWF!
A graphic featuring a still from GODKILLER: Last Hope alongside two laurels from the Sydney Web Fest. The photo features Sea and Connie, as Sea gently cups Connie's neck and looks into their face. The Last Hope logo is in the bottom left corner, alongside two laurels on the right hand side that read: "WINNER. Best Actual Play Video. Sydney Web Fest 2025." and "WINNER. SWF Award for Diversity. Sydney Web Fest 2025." There is a gold frame that surrounds the graphic.

Once you start going to local tabletop design events you start realizing how many people make games, some right in your own hometown. @playsamovar.bsky.social is someone I'm delighted to share a neighborhood with. Come check out his love letter to Ursula Le Guin's Hainish cycle:

I hate sharing this one so much, but winter is coming and thanks to medical weight loss, I'm looking at replacing fall & winter gear which ain't cheap. I've got an ongoing goal that I put up post layoff: ko-fi.com/tanya_hbic/g...

Frustrating ah. Community housing, with community care centers have shown to be effective but are so underfunded and a victim of NIMBY that liberal communities see them as a drain and an eyesore.
