Today, I read Harvest, the game of creeping folk horror. Is this island a place you want to visit, or should you stay well away? Find out! idlecartulary.com/2025/10/09/i...

I Read Harvest

I Read Games reviews are me reading games when I have nothing better to do, like read a module or write or play a game. I don’t seriously believe that I can judge a game without playing it, usually…

The DFAT reports contain allegations of prison guards kicking and slapping the detainees, using "sleep deprivation" techniques, and confiscating medication. Others said they were not physically abused but "humiliated", with one claiming he was told to "dance like a monkey".

Australians released from Israeli detention after alleged beatings

Seven Australian activists arrested while trying to break Israel's naval blockade of Gaza have been deported to Jordan, the ABC understands.

Lurking thought in my brain that I should try and team up with a publisher for this project.

Anyone know where to pitch a tactical TTRPG with a ~terrifying secret~?

"hey Reizor, why are you bringing an old game of yours and not something new?"

Y'all might not know this but I actually help co-ordinate and organise the Indie table top RPGs at PAXAus. I am very busy right now with organising. So I chose to run something easy for myself.

I have been insanely busy lately and have pretty much forgotten to post on Blue Sky.

I did a Zine fair 2 weeks ago, had my birthday the week before that, performed at a poetry night as the feature poet... All while trying to get ready for PAXAus and SXSW Sydney.

And this weekend I'm doing this:

I have three review copies of Synaptic Protocol to give to interested reviewers! Drop me a message by DM so we can talk about the details!

I spent most of my birthday doing prep work for a counter-protest, But then this evening I got to travel down to Wyong and be the feature poet at their poetry slam.

It is really nice to perform and help inspire people towards activism.

Just a general FYI: I get that the CIA and FBI did some shady and crappy things in the 50s-80s. But if you are using those examples as referents for their (legal) powers *now,* you are showing your ignorance of some major constraints that were placed on them by Congress*

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

I'm not like STRUGGLING (thanks disability pension) but I haven't made any significant sales since like.... May last year.

Since May, 2024 my sales have slowed to a trickle. I might need to change up what I'm doing...
