DAY 3, GAME 9: The Librarian's Apprentice from @almostbedtime.bsky.social is the perfect journalling game for a booklover like me, guiding me into the depths of an infinite library. I can't wait to play the sequel adventure over the holidays. almostbedtimetheater.itch.io/the-libraria...

the trans pride flag.

the trans pride flag.

[pls share!]

putting out a call because i am prepping for next year's trans rights bundle - i'm looking to focus on Idaho or Arkansas, both of which have had 10+ anti-trans bills passed this year.

So - ID and AR residents, what are some local queer and trans organizations you know and trust?

I’m excited to see this playthrough kicking off! Fiona is writing bits of story based on a game of The Librarian’s Apprentice, and is letting readers (like you!) vote on the paths taken.

What comes next: a room of icy scrolls used to play music or a natural history museum of stone and weapons?

Fun(?) Fact: This game exists because I was handed the phrase β€œcocaine bear grandma” with no context and thought β€œThat sounds like an RPG title.” I figured I’d throw together a character sheet for fun using Hints & Hijinx and made a whole game in under 24 hours because H&H makes it so easy!

Remember, authors and publishers love to see photos of their games at conventions, stores, or spread out carefully next to your other purchases on any convenient flat surface. #KnollingIsCaring
