If you want to become an editor or you give feedback/critique stories of any kind, this is also a good workshop for you.

Have you seen our video? The three editors discuss what the project means to them, and why writing fantastic fiction in the face of erasure is defiance. Plus, turn on or switch between captions by selecting English or українська. We hope you'll give it a look. www.kickstarter.com/projects/att...

i want to be abundantly clear that this dog is adorable. i also like to assume the gender of dogs so let's go with she/her on this one. She is a very good girl, and clearly the most valued employee at the pet store where she works. She has her front paws up on the counter with a credit card reader in front of her. She is ready to take your payment. i swear to god she's giving a little grin, like "yeah bitch, i know how to participate in capitalism too, you fool."

No playing D&D with the bears.

A sign that shows a bear and a human hand apparently dropping food in front of it. But it looks like the hand is rolling 4d6. There is a red circle with a slash around the whole thing, indicating that you should not do it.

I hope that will be interesting for those who are familiar with solo RPGs and anyone who might be interested in writing one for themselves (or maybe get some inspiration for whatever they’re working on).

I got Broken Cities and Whispers in the Walls to analyze and get a better handle on what a solo RPG can be, and I’ll be writing about my experiences playing.

I’ve been working in games for 15 years now, but the only times I’m really able to play tabletop games is when I’m around other game devs (I’ve been remote my entire adult life). The idea that anyone can play tabletop RPGs solo is intriguing to me.

My rather arduous journey home introduced me to other beleaguered travelers and several scenarios that I know I will work into metaphors for players to encounter.

Over the next 2 days, I started coming up with some ideas and mechanics. The last day of the con, I heard in my head the last two lines of the intro.

Thread: I discovered solo RPGs at Gen Con thanks to a friend. Seeing so many extravagant books and smelling those new-book pages made me want to publish a solo RPG just so I could have a cool edition too (I’m only half joking about this).

A thinking emoji looks up at the the words "So... You Wanna Make a Solo RPG?"

The response working class people should have to “UPS drivers would make $170,000” is “Good.” That 170k includes benefits and pension money, which used to be the norm in union contracts and should be the floor of our demands. Your enemy is never another worker getting more.

I plead with you: If you are upset by something a generally good person you know to be neurodivergent says, *ask them for clarification*. 1) it's awful to find out someone was upset (or took action!) over something we didn't mean 2) being scolded over misunderstandings is a lot of our ptsd.
