An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Is it weird and wrong if I say that my own game is sort of a Frankenstein of Mothership and Cyberpunk RED/2020? I mean maybe it's like 80/20 mechanically, but still.

On the 3rd it'll be one month until Bite the Hand launches, and I am gonna be insufferable yelling about it. I've got an interview in the can and at least three one-shot actual plays lined up. Fingers crossed it's enough for this to get printed.

Pre-release material is very welcome on the show, and it's a great thing to attach to a crowdfunding campaign, but anything is welcome! Non traditional games (solo, 2-player, diceless, etc.) can totally work, and diverse developers and players are encouraged to apply!
