I have finally updated my store with a few remaining copies of Metal Scraps Covered in Moss, RITE, and a few others. Feel free to peruse for your RPG zine "needs." I'm also fairly poor at promoting my shop, but I have one. You can find RPGs about lots of things. :) www.presspot.games/store

I don’t drink alcohol. And when I tell people, at most I'll get 1 follow-up question. I don’t use genAI. And when I tell people, it's just never ending questions and reasons why I should use it.

The image is of a four panel comic. The title reads "Poltergeist".
In the first panel we see a woman with a worried expression on her face. She says, "stuff keeps moving around my house."
In the second panel the same woman says "I'm terrified. I can't sleep."
In the third panel we see a ghost holding a candle and a pillow that reads "live laugh love". The ghost is zooming through the house.
In the fourth panel we see the same ghost hanging up a frame and thinking, "home decor is my passion".

I was really proud of this composition, even if I could have done a better job cutting.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

I began collaging tonight for the first time, and this felt great (?), appropriate (?) Either way, it was a fun first foray.

an image of two zines, one closed and one open. the closed zine has an image of green forest floor on it and reads, "metal scraps covered in moss, a solo game of uncovering what once was" The other zine is open with lots of script and paster-in scraps of paper.Two flat zines, one in green and the other in ember brown.

Sometimes your playtester's feedback is "make the skates gay." And you just have to comply

I got a survey in the mail from my town. One of the questions: "We fixed X miles of road and spent Y dollars on it which was under budget and we didn't go into debt. Should we: A) pave more roads and not go into debt B) pave more roads and go into debt" Just why. 🙄

Sometime as I think about how IBM Watson on Jeopardy had a little confidence bar and if the bar didn't reach like 50%, it just didn't answer the question.
