Have I mentioned recently that I hate that I am forced to do a capitalism in order to make art?

My USA friends and customers; be aware that the combination of tariffs and the removal of the de minimis exemption means that many international publishers will have a hard time sending you games from outside of the country. The best way to get your hands on these games is to buy copies already stateside such as those in your FLGS, or from distributors like @ipr@dice.camp https://www.indiepressrevolution.com/xcart/

And my second undergrad degree is done. It's a wild ride

Indie RPG designers; if you are looking for free typefaces, illustrations, brushes, or vectors, you can pick them up at Creative Market. I signed up for their periodic emails and get useful resources about once a month. https://creativemarket.com/free-goods

We are looking for panels for Metatopia Online 2025 which will be taking place on December 6 and possibly December 7, 2025. If you can't attend Metatopia in person this year for any reason, please join us at this online event and spread the word! https://forms.gle/aTqCs7bBJpfCpgnXA

La version de Sig: Cité des Lames en français est tellement bien faite que j'avais acheté un exemplaire pour ma bibliothèque :). Merci @Khelren@ludosphere.fr

AI content in search results is effectively giving the search engine cancer. Rather than the desired information it wastes resources with unwanted, resource-draining bloat that fails to serve the organism.

A new episode of the #RPGDesignPanelcast is up featuring @megueyb@dice.camp @lumpley@dice.camp discussing Powered by the Apocalypse games in 2023. It's fabulous and worth a listen.

Running a kickstarter during a global trade war, after my former social media network was nuked by Musk, is rough. I appreciate any help in spreading the word about my #Kickstarter for my #IndieRPG Songfall Survivors https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/Jagash/songfall-survivors?ref=a3zvdt

I am very proud to announce that the Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for SONGFALL SURVIVORS is now live! If you want more content for our science-fiction rpg of memetic horror and want to support indie creators, spread the word!

Podcasters; if you need content or a rando game designer guest, I am available to talk about things as an excuse to talk about Songfall Survivors which is coming to Kickstarter soon

I just finished devouring "Stealing the Throne" by the excellent @ickbat@dice.camp and it meets his usual high standards of quality game design. Let's unpack this giant mecha, shall we?

Do you like playing tabletop games such as RPGs, board games or miniature games? Are you able to make it to Ottawa from May 16-18, 2025? Consider registering and attending CanGames! https://cangames.ca/

A friendly reminder that Genesis of Legend Publishing has a robust catalog of games which might interest you such as Once More Into the Void, Sig: City of Blades, After the War, and Palanquin as well as our older gems.

If you are in the United States of America, the best way to get my games is likely from our friends at Indie Press Revolution https://www.indiepressrevolution.com/xcart/Genesis-of-Legend-Publishing/

If you just want PDFs copies, you can pick them all up at DriveThruRPG https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher/5573/genesis-of-legend-publishing.

Lumberjills is in spitting distance of funding. Spread the word and back it now over at kickstarter.games

If you ever wanted to support small conventions, the TinyConEvents Kickstarter seems like a fabulous way to do it. Heck, I love the idea of being able to organize a games weekend that way. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/digitalgnomes/tinyconevents

I think we ought to talk about Lumberjills, by the Mo Turkington of Unruly Designs. She led War Birds project, an award-winning anthology of games about women in World War II.

If you take a look at the project at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/unrulydesigns/lumberjills-a-war-birds-game you will see that the kickstarter campaign page is brilliant. (THREAD)
