We hit out 60k stretch goal, with a little more than 24 hours to go. Can we hit the final goal from @nightjargames.bsky.social ? I really really hope so

Finnish Wreg is not real, he can't hurt you Finnish Wreg: [ #art | #oc ] (roughly translates to: "I feel like shit and I'm horny, oh poor piece-of-shit-hemulen me.")
Sketch of knight oc Wreg in chainmail standing with his arms crossed and wearing chainmail armour. He's thinking: "vituttaa ja panettaa, voi minua hemulipaskaa." roughly translates to: "I feel like shit and I'm horny, oh poor-piece-of-shit-hemulen me."

Wrote up a quick blogpost that's been brewing mentally for a while now vaguely relevant to some of the current OSR discourse about adventure design, but really more evergreen in how we do discourse about something that's not actually that important. blog.catshavenolord.page/games-are-no...

ran a quick playtest of my elf game, and even though we had to cut it short due to players (and me) being very tired, got a nice feeling about the "main mechanic"! it's kinda like gilarpgs.itch.io/thorn where you succeed automatically if it's at all viable, and gain strain whenever you do

Robert Raulus @rraulus.bsky.social · 07/01/2026
the thing that really fucks with me regarding thac0 is that you want a high attack roll but also a low armor class like if it was a normal roll under thing it wouldn't be such a big deal but there's psychologically something wacky about it

New awareness campaign
A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: 
Using Generative AI?
You’re prompting with Hitler!
GenAI is a Fascist Project!
Try using your brain instead
Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control
