Crowdfunding getting you down? Me too—what are y’all’s alternative strategies?
One thing I’m trying is using itch sales of my prior zines with a sale goal to fund the print run of the next zines.
Feels like lately it’s time for safe bets.

Nobody is allowed to die right now, Yall hear me? 2 in 24 hours and 2 funerals this week. I need to beat the “it comes in threes” rule.
Want some silly, saucy fun? My love letter to Taco Bell is finally in a consumable form. Relish your saucy hotness:

Or did the humanities abandon you?
Deal!
Had a lovely time in community last week: we ran a shop but mighty Tarot x Gamer event at our local FLGS Pure Panic and then jammed all day outside Peoples Book for an indie game fair. Thanks @stickydoodler.bsky.social for all your organizing and commitment.
An orange and green gradient flyer reads "Tarot x Gamer" Join local game designers to play with tarot cards in new ways: crafting rituals, storytelling games, rpg design, and card spreads for community repair. In the center is a photographic imagine of two tarot cards crossed 90 degrees over each other, with the Ace of Cups on top. The bottom text reads "Oct 15/6, 2025, 6pm til close @Pure Panic 8317 Fenton St, Silver Spring, MD The bottom left has Pure Panic's stylized pogo of rainbow loops
A free local event next Thursday in Silver Spring. Come join the tarot / gamer party!
A playful game about a hella serious topic (power and non-consent), it's the thing I've had the most fun (yet) designing and testing this year.
Here's the list of 184 products from 108 of our member publishers we'll have in #Booth449 at #GenCon2025, including a link to download
a 36 page PDF or ePub with short descriptions of all of them, in case you wanted a little travel reading.

Got my weird lil game about credibility and archival silence I've noodled on for two years out of playtest draft and into a TTRPG coherent form by using the @tabletopartsfund.org grant as a Real Due Date. #neurospicy #gamedesign
I was pointed to this right after submitting my weird little game to a thing and I feel so less weird about the things coming out of my weird little head. Also amazing deep dive on the landlords game!
It’s finally here! Mechanisms as Metaphors: How Board Games Create Meaning takes a look at how board games make persuasive arguments, how they might move us emotionally, and how the ways we talk about the form might hinder its development.

A pamphlet showing three games from MothSpire, and a stack of "Designed in the DMV" placards adjacent.
Designed in the DMV is back out with v2 of our catalog of locally-crafted games! We're using these catalogs to engage local businesses and their customers with our creations. While the main focus is on TTRPGs, we also have a page of locally-designed boardgames such as Wingspan and Fluxx!
