If you're gender marginalized and have a project, please list your preferred name and pronouns if you can! There are so many projects I'd love to feature on @moreseatsrpg.bsky.social, but I can't if I can't find some basic info.
Man it has been a while
Writing is hard. Writing is great. Writing sucks. I love writing. I wish I could stop writing. I cannot stop writing. Please help. Please leave me alone, I have another 3 pages to get through. Please read my work. Please never perceive this garbage I've created. Respect me. Ignore me.
The only prescriptive advice I’ll give young designers:
Make games only you could make.
Don’t ask me what I mean by that, cos you either already know - or you’ll figure it out.

It’s a new month, with the Moon being the card I’m meditating on. I’m using the Blood Moon Tarot by Sam Guay.

To be a bit vulnerable on main, this feels like a horrible time to be doing self promotion. Everything hurts and I can't bring myself to do the hype cycle thing. But I genuinely and sincerely want to keep making cathartic and joyful art, so please consider supporting that.

Not lethal enough.
I've been sick so I have no idea of anything.
I'm doing the next @moreseatsrpg.bsky.social next week. Got anything by a creator of marginalized gender you'd like me to promote?

Congrats to ALL of the finalists and editor Becky Siegel Spratford, who pulled together a HELL of a book of powerful essays on what drew us to horror. (And thanks, Mom!)

KYANA shares an alternative category for the Bloggies, the inspirational and poetic, and includes some of her favourite posts from last year. “All of [the Bloggies nominated posts] are well-written, all of those are good. But to me there is a lacuna there. Where is the poetry?”
Evening read: "The Maiden and the Rake" by @scorchadoom.bsky.social
I really like the game; it features fae, romance, and sudden violence. It reminds me of Under Hollow Hills and In Dreaming Avalon; it has well-written questions and answers.
It's also both visceral and courtly, which I enjoy.
I hope so too. The only thing is that a happy ending isn’t guaranteed.
That was a very good playtest.
It's very good! I got to playtest it with Misha B. last year!
I had some good playtests with it. I hope you enjoy it!
Why thank you!
If I suddenly get a lot of engagement I’m just going to swear more
