I need to point out that in an era when most publishers are shying away from minority representation, Green Ronin has decided to put a trans latina front and center on the cover of the new superhero roleplaying game!

We have 12 days to go on our crowdfund for WHAT ELEGANT STARS and still need to raise about $7k. We've just added a reward "add-on" for a short story critique with editor dave ring if that would be of interest.
We also still have two Benefactor Rewards at $1k that would be incredibly impactful.

It's Ottawa in February, which means it's FRIGID, but if you're around Kanata you can come say hi and warm up at Indigo Kanata @ Centrum! I'll be signing copies of Catalyst and Castoff from 11 am to 2 pm today 🦑🦑🦑

We would be hype if you consider supporting WHAT ELEGANT STARS at the Benefactor level to single-handedly make our stretch goals happen 🚀 (and also smash this initial goal) so grateful to already have one Benefactor on board!

Had a blast recording an interview w/ @itgodp.bsky.social today! Near the end Alan asked me where I get hope these days, and I talked about games that center rebuilding and activism - specifically one I just learned about via @rascal.news: Why We Fight by Stop, Drop and Roll Game Studios 👇

The seal for the Independent Press Awards: a tall letter I on a silver block podium, with a circle behind it displaying an open book. The words "2026 Distinguished Favorite Independent Press Award" wrap around the circumference of the circle.
Big news!!!

Massive thanks to this year's judges for supporting squid gods and Aelda's best found family 🦑

Yeah that's what I was eyeing. Hmm if it's young rat snake size that's probably not good for Lavender. But if I can convince our corn snake to try it out...

Breaking my "announcements only" vibe for a shout-out to the absolutely stalwart @jasonsanford.bsky.social, who does the hard work of reporting the goings-on in Writer Land (and earns my constant respect and admiration). He deserves serious accolades and maybe a nap from time to time 💜

I want to do a thread on "Small Press Red Flags" brought to you by years in the trenches combined with some issues I’m seeing pop up again in writer circles.
Note: an isolated incident might not be a red flag, but cumulative flags are always worth examination.
First off: Let’s talk about money.

You heard it, from one of my favorite GMs ever (we're friends, I'm biased, whatever, 'Nathan is great).
