i basically designed this zine as a supplement to my CIGS talk, "your rpg is too long." it includes my one page rpg design manifesto and a sampling of my games that epitomize that design philosophy, along with new introductions reflecting on their design. a great intro to my tabletop work imo

Five Small RPGs, the zine i created for CIGS 2026, is now available in pdf format! it collects five of my previously (and still!) available ttrpgs in a neat little four-column booklet format. the physical zines will almost certainly make a return at some future event!

New: As gay bars across the country say that Meta is flagging and deactivating their accounts without warning, I spoke to an Austin queer bar that says Meta nearly destroyed their ability to advertise events: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

How Meta's new content moderation upended a Texas gay bar
At least one LGBTQ establishment in Texas says the social media giant has incorrectly disabled its social media account, potentially hurting business.

You should be asking why Rockstar gets to do this and doesn't run into any issues with payment processors, while the rest of anyone drawing or writing "explicit content" on any platform have so much trouble getting paid

i will admit that some of my feelings as a disabled former academic who was fired for being too disabled MAY have coloured the story somewhat

"There's also Anna Anthropy—a legend in the field of text-based interactive fiction, who wrote September's The Poetry of God. A clearly personal work, it concerns a disabled academic who handles dangerous sigils with the same matter-of-fact fearlessness as she does her wheelchair."

FurAffinity (a furry focused online art gallery) is looking for funding after refusing to comply with advertiser demands. And oh boy are some of those advertiser demands are pretty ridiculous.
