"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

The banner for The Power of Pride Bundle 2026. It depicts a black cat taking a nap amongst an assorted pile of objects associated with projects that may be submitted into the bundle, including a pink game controller, a pencil and paper, a musical note, a 6-sided die, a book, and a black power fist. A rainbow sits behind the logo and cat.

A collage picture of the Monster of the Week TTRPG illustration showing multiple monsters and characters from the game, the Questbook logo of a orange-scale druidic figure with "Questbook" written underneath, and a screenshot of me (Ruby) during my last Monster of the Week live stream for KiwiRPG Week last year, sitting in my streaming setup with the KiwiRPG logo underneath my picture.

A screenshot of the event page that reads "Saving the world, one convention at a time.
A legally distinct Monster of the Week adventure where fictional fan favourites come to life at sundown, protecting the world from terrifying threats from other legally distinct pop culture dimensions.

Join the special guest cast as they dive into a TTRPG world not too different from our own, guided by Questbook Storyteller Ruby Kemp. Tackling the monstrous and mundane alike as the protectors of the Apocalypse Convention Centre, watch the adventure unfold with almost familiar characters like Professor How, The Bulk, and That One Lady From That Show In The '90s. Come laugh, gasp, and maybe even have the chance to break through the fourth wall and help our heroes save the day!

Monster of the Week is an iconic New Zealand-created TTRPG from game designer Michael Sands."

#SendHelp is so fun! I was not expecting the classic horror movie styling and loved it.

I ADORE watching lovely performers play terrible people, and you kinda get double - I will take every chance to watch Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien steal scenes from each other for two hours πŸ”ͺβ€οΈβ€πŸ©ΉπŸ

It's Bandcamp Friday! Anything you buy from your fave indie artist goes πŸ’― to them today.

I usually just find a digital purchase and throw extra money on that so the artist gets complete profit.

January A bundle by Chris Bissette, Β£150.00 for 60 games

Hello. It's my final week as a full time game designer, and as if to underline why I can't do this anymore, I currently can't afford to cover my bills at the end of the month.

All of my work on itch is on sale. Tell your friends, buy something, thank you very much.

Create alternate version where you need less dice, but get a result on a huuuuuge table depending on non-dice variables??

Like 4d10, but expands to 100,000 options depending on the numbers to the left or right of each other in physical space??

Less dice, more options
