so Portland Public Schools is just gonna decimate my immediate neighborhood culture, damage my/many children's education, & embrace a death spiral, boo-hooing that they have no other choice because finances, while giving the superintendent a big raise & ignoring any other options hate this for us

I love a horror game as much as the next library school graduate but I have serious ethical concerns about a game where you make people use the Dewey Decimal system.

Now available at worldchamp.io/store: 🔫 I AM A GUILLOTINE: a solo game of enacting political violence against a fascist figurehead. 📝 MANIFESTO: a solo journaling game of political extremism and news biases after the violence. 💀 HORROR GAMES: a compilation of 15 new terrifying tabletop games

We're gonna be there hanging out with Tim Hutchings! (You can tell because our art from 9 Lives to Valhalla is on the poster.) (If you come by 12-3 Dan will be running 9 Lives. You could play a cat from the poster.)

It ranges from Loony Tunes to Itchy and Scratchy depending on how the GM runs it, which is me! Over the top ultraviolence is what it's About but arguably so is the road runner cartoons?

You need to write for yourself because some day years later you'll have a chance to show it to new people and you'll need to rediscover what you love about it even though you're very tired. I am running a con game of 9 Lives to Valhalla tomorrow at Guardian Games, come say hi if you're in Portland

THIS WEEKEND! We were hoping to have a fun new thing to release in connection to 9 Lives to Valhalla in time for this weekend, but Kali took a bad fall & got all busted up so that's delayed. Come by & sign her crutch instead! (Wait, no, it's borrowed, just say hi)
