We’re excited about this game. It’s kind of a precursor to our game Werewolf + Android as Lucas and I always played it with them as the investigators. Seriously excited!

This is one of the first games I’ve been excited to play with my mom. I think it’s a great crossover for those who haven’t played many RPGs and will be natural to those familiar with golden age murder mysteries

It's been a week since I published the Steam page for Eswahr Eternal. I can't see the game's numbers, so I just assume that it is, as the people might say: "trending". Have you visited said steam page? You should go there and do what needs to be done: store.steampowered.com/app/5198420/...

posting this made me realize I didn't have 10 Cloverfield Lane on the itch page for Into A Warm Sun (it's on the first page of the game, at least). I've corrected my hideous hypocrisy and added brief inspo notes to each of the three Endtimes itch pages (shout out to László Krasznahorkai's books)

here is a useful punnet square on how people will react to your work's relationship to its inspirations, especially if you take the name right from the thing that inspires you

audience aware of inspiration, cited inspirations: i like the same thing as the author, i'll definitely give this a shot!

audience aware of inspiration, uncited inspirations: this is clearly inspired by the thing i like, but it's not mentioned anywhere. what a ripoff! weird!

audience unaware of inspiration, cited inspirations: this thing is cool, i'll have to check out the thing that inspired it!

Leylines, my one-page map-making + relic-hunting TTRPG, is out now! Want to see what inspired it? Read on below. (and please grab your own free copy at drawleylines.com!)

The title cover for Leylines. It includes 5 illustrated relics at the top (a mask, a knife, a doll, a key, and a ring), with the title "Leylines" below, and the subtitle "a relic hunting game" at the bottom. Behind it all is a subtle map outline with three leylines running through it.

The first page layout of Leylines. It includes sections on How to Play (with a flow chart), Important Terms, Always do This, and Building with Aspects. It is designed in a beige/olive/brown color palette in a soft-retro/hand-drawn style.

The first two print copies of the Endtimes Trilogy have arrived and they look great.

eight square zines stacked on each other

Two copies of Quy Serra Serra, one showing the cover with its title and skeletons sits on the other, open to a spread about situations and scenes.

Two copies of Into A Warm Sun, one showing its cover with the foreboding staircase sitting on top of the other open to a spread about rolling dice.

Two copies of the Way Out, one with its cover showing the sun and the ouroborus sitting on top of the other open to a spread about starting a chapter of play.

looking at deathbringer and the cash it brings in makes me baffled at what the hell people even like. how can my tastes be so far away from some norm that a game I find both repulsive & truly boring. if I make things to my taste will I ever find an audience that's even a tenth as large? so far no 😅

why do I not just send a missive to city hall with what I'm looking for in a home and then work with a government agent to find a home (a home that's not owned by some rich freak who would happily hold my entire life hostage for monthly rent). wouldn't that be a better process
