Stream/download the TERMINUS OST at osirissaline.bandcamp.com/album/termin...
It's released with a 'name your price' model, so it can be free, but if you DO choose to tip Sail, the composer, for their work then TODAY is the best time โ it's 'Bandcamp Friday', meaning Bandcamp doesn't take a cut!
The final KS update for TERMINUS!

Contents: the project is finished, thanks for the support, what's I'm doing next, and... TERMINUS has an ambient soundtrack!
I'll do a post on here about it when I get back from the post office. Thanks for the heads up!
๐ฎ I didn't know that!
Really good to see this editorial, very authoritative and very clear, stating that ADHD is NOT over-diagnosed in the UK. Let's hope the government's new review will listen to *literally all the most eminent experts we have* on this question.

This game is about to release into Early Access TODAY and I have a spare giveaway key. I'll post it into the replies for anyone to grab once this post reaches 500 reposts
Oh yeah, I'm thinking *fancy* thin paper. I know a bookbinding shop in London that's bound to have something good for it.
Well, I'm not really a 'localisation partner', but I do have this whole thing... www.patchworkfez.games/collaboration/

P.S. I backed the Bonsai Diary and this it's a neat game idea! I've been vaguely thinking of acquiring some nice Japanese paper to print it on, for the full effect.
If you have a collective that regularly goes to events and has a core 'catalogue', that's more awkward. Someone has to look after it all.
In terms of web shops, Shopify has a 'fulfil from location' option, so individual creators could fulfil their items despite them being in one online storefront.
I'm also looking forward to finding out how I handle logistics... ๐
I think it may be easier for me, as I'm planning to accept stock just before the expo, then give leftovers back to creators immediately afterwards, rather than keeping things long-term.

In the interests of being vaguely organised about this initiative, I've made a form.
If you're interested, submit this form by 11pm on Tues 31st March: forms.gle/rjRbWk6C4kdr...

It's a terrible genetic affliction. I need to complain at Dad about it again, but I'll have to check his calendar to see when he's free to call. ๐
I should make a little form, shouldn't I?
I'll do that now. ๐
I do take your point โ I just so love an ambiguous or peculiar statement! ๐
My family frequently says things like 'I'm threatening to buy them some flowers', and I think that framing may have leaked into much of my writing.
The House of Lords Digital & Communications Committee just published their report on AI, copyright & the creative industries, and their conclusions could not be clearer.

So I'm thinking of offering a small selection of titles that are thematically coherent and individually visible to shoppers.
What do folks think? Anyone potentially interested?
I haven't worked out the financial aspects of this idea yet, but I wouldn't be looking to take a full retail cut of sales โ just enough to cover costs & such. No 'joining fee' or anything like that.
Folks might have their TTRPGs in proper shops, but interesting titles can get buried there imo...
Having just realised that UKGE is getting closer, I'm thinking about what I'll be stocking on my (first) solo stand.
My own products (and mosaics!) will take up most stand space, but I'm considering 'hosting' a curated set of work by others who don't have stands โ possibly focusing on indie horror.
(Can I get the paid second class option to disappear when the order value is over ยฃ20? Not yet, but I'll work it out eventually.)
There's no discount code for that, btw, it should appear automatically as an option at checkout โ just make sure you pick the option you want, as faster & paid options will still be available!
Apropos of nothing, I've decided to offer free UK shipping on orders over ยฃ20 on the Patchwork Fez Games web shop!

Thereโs never been a better time to join the Green Party if you share our values. Iโve been a member since 2014 when we were very excited to overtake UKIP with ~45k members, now weโre on nearly 5x that! 215k ๐
If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kฤkฤpล chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!
Press Association comment from Quakers in Britain This evening, for the second time in a year, the Metropolitan Police raided a Quaker Meeting House and arrested a number of young nonviolent activists who were meeting there on the grounds that they were conspiring to commit a criminal act. The room in Westminster Quaker Meeting House was let to Take Back Power to hold nonviolent direct action training. Quakers support the principle of nonviolent direct action, which aims to protest without harming people. Oliver Robertson, head of witness and worship for Quakers in Britain, said: โFor Quakers, faith and action are inseparable. Peaceful protest, prayer and nonviolent action are integral parts of many Quakers' religious life. โWhilst we take the planning of criminal acts very seriously, we believe that this incident is a deliberate targeting of committed young people who want to make our country a more equitable place. This raid is part of a systematic stifling of dissent. โThat this is the second time in a year that the police have raided our meeting house dramatically illuminates the broader trend in the UK of cracking down on those who disagree with the government. The right to protest is fundamental to our democracy. It's a key part of how people make their voices heard between elections.โ
Statement from @quaker.org.uk about tonight's police raid on Westminster Meeting House. Guys, I don't think they're buying the Met's line about it all being a cover for plotting "mass shoplifting"
