There are morning people. I'm told they exist. I am NOT one of them. I believe the sun gets to rise however early it wants so I don't have to. Or at least, that's how I think it *should* work...

FableDoom's gonna be at booth #449 with @ipr.bsky.social at Gen Con!!! And I'll be wandering around the con too--if ya find me, feel free to say hi
Against a brick wall backdrop adorned with Indie Press Revolution and FableDoom's logos, a chibi mage falls headlong into a spinning, golden portal to Gen Con! A goblin peeks into frame from the right side. She might have pushed the mage in.

IPR will be carrying FableDoom at Gen Con Booth 449 July 30th - August 2 in Indianapolis, IN.

[3/3] More laborers are willing to band together to control the means of production. More people understanding that creative, cooperative power is what the entirety of society stands on, and it can be leveraged. More seeing the true enemy is usually standing over us with the whip, not beside us.

[2/3] However, without enough motion away from these (or at least criticizing them), nothing can truly change in the long run. It's why I've been happy to see more motion toward democratic socialism after Bernie Sanders got so popular--more people willing to redefine what it means to have rights.

[1/3] This is interesting! I think many people (or rather, many in the US) see the fight as right (republican) vs left (democrat), tending to pick a side during elections out of (often, but not exclusively, misplaced) pragmatism.

Upper level academia is understanding why more things are essays and not stories (citation as record of scholarly discussion) and still hating it. Can we just normalize educating with stories and comics and stuff and *use the footnotes* for the discussion bit? Please? It'd be way more fun.

It's pride month, and taking actionable steps (like calling reps) is one of the best things you can do to support the queer folks in your lives! It only takes a few minutes of your time now (maybe less, since these include scripts to use), but if a book ban passes, it affects generations

I have an English BA. I am pursuing an MA. I have a PUBLISHED book. And I STILL look up words that I've concocted based on internal etymological VIBES ALONE to check whether they're real (like words aren't made up anyway). Disseminatory is a real word, and I want spellcheck to stop shaming meeeee

@ipr.bsky.social will have FableDoom at Origins this year!!!! If you're going, drop by and snag a book from booth 1803. Aaaaannnd if you wanna see what else they've got alongside our game, here's a link: www.indiepressrevolution.com/xcart/Origin...
Chibi-fied versions of FableDoom creators Fable, dressed as a mage, and Dariane, dressed as a goblin, paint logos for Indie Press Revolution, FableDoom, and Origins onto a brick wall. They stand atop the words, "IPR will be carrying FableDoom at Origins Booth 1803 June 18-21 in Columbus, OH." Fable, right, holds up their brush, adding imperceptible final touches of purple to the wall as Dariane, left, wobbles and begins to fall--her green-laden paintbrush flying from her hand.

Hey all! We've teamed up with @ipr.bsky.social to distribute FableDoom to the masses! I'm soooo hyped for this because a lot of my favorite local game stores *also* go through IPR to stock up, so it's just a super cool milestone to be included among so many other fantastic indie creators.
Retailers Rejoice! Indie Press Revolution is now carrying FableDoom in print, digital, and bundle form. For those reading the alt text: Yes, yes this text is slapped right on top of a pic of me and Dariane making s'mores with Mauvin the Dragon. Why would you make s'mores any other way?

For hair its prep and maintaining. If its for an event or cosplay and your hair has to look a specific way, that'll be day of. But for generally looking nice outside of that very specific case, Ive found that using leave in conditioner and a bonnet works miracles

You ever post something kinda quick and impulsively so that it's out there and you can't take it back and you're fully locked in? Yeah so anyway I'm trying to legitimize ttrpgs in English academia. Um. Tell me if you're interested i guess? Imma have to write so many essays and books...

Logos are hard
The new logo for Arc of Fools, the words shaped into an outline like that of a ship cutting from right to left through waves. A figure seems poised to fall off the bow, and a small dog tries to get their attention, in reference to the classical tarot imagery of card 0, The Fool.

When distinctions happen close to or at the fundamental level of a game system's development, the next choice is whether something is viable and fun enough to keep as its own game instead of as an expansion to the original. In my own case, I think AoF deserves to be its own thing outside of FD2

Sometimes, in the rebuilding process, things develop in slightly different ways as you try to solve for problems down the line (yes, the butterfly effect is a thing in game dev too--neat, right?). Sometimes those developments are so distinct as to become their own, separate entity from the original

I was working on developing FableDoom 2nd ed (I gotta do *something* besides Mars when my health isnt murderizing me to stay sane). One of my favorite ways to make/improve a system is stripping it all the way down to function and what I want out of it, then re-building from the foundational level

When it comes to electronic music making, I have two modes. 1) I'm gonna compose strictly what can actually be humanly played on instruments, and 2) It's digital, and I'm gonna produce things that would be actually impossible to play any other way.

I thought I'd posted something here... but i hadn't. Hi. I'm Fable, my pronouns are ze/zir, and I make stuff (more info about that on the website). Basically, the goal is to spread love and empathy. Sometimes it works.
