The rules and rulesets you create don't have to answer to people who don't choose to use them. They have to answer to the people who do choose to use them.

Most of our bird feeders hang from the pear tree. One little tufted titmouse is braving them.

The sharp shinned hawk in our neighborhood got a sparrow and brought it to our pear tree to dismantle.

Our cat, watching through the window, is INTENT.

In light of what Kickstarter is doing to Kickstarter United, I've moved my project to @backerkit.com.

I can't in good conscience promote a TTRPG about sticking it to the man on a platform owned by The Manβ„’.

Here is the call to action link for now: www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

Weird that they don't mention how well this is working in Massachusetts.

Anyway, taking from the rich is only one part of the Robin Hood strategy. You also have to feed the poor and perforate the cops.
