kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

Anyways.

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

The @levelonewonk.bsky.social dives back into the Carnival of Crowdfunding, with some stragglers from Zine Month and few suprisingly big projects!

Crowdfunding Carnival: March, 2026 Welcome to Crowdfunding Carnival for March! We’re wrapping up Zine Month, but despite Backerkit’s more delineated timeline there are still some straggler campaigns here and there. We’ve also seen the big campaign space heat up, as not only were there several notable campaigns during Zine Month (looking at you, Blades 68) but we have big announcements at the end as well, including at least one out-of-nowhere success.

Monthly Mecha: Girl Frame w/ Isabelle M. Reubsaat Mecha TTRPGs Monthly

The March Mecha Newsletter features Girl Frame and an interview with the creator @anxiousmimicrpgs.bsky.social! Girl Frame is a PBTA game about lesbian pilots, forced into half-living mech suits and sent by their Handler to kill eldritch beings from outside reality.

It's incredibly well-written.

The best part of the ZineTopia campaign coming to an end is that I can stop being A Bother about it here and elsewhere.

I mean, I still have to be A Bother in a general sense, because otherwise nobody will ever see anything I or CHG at large create. But now there'll be variety again!

Ohhhh I like this idea a lot.

There is no marketing I'm more susceptible to these days than any company saying they don't use generative AI in their projects. I'm a sitting duck for that promise even if they're selling graham crackers or masking tape.

A snapshot of the BackerKit ZineTopia campaign for Tales from the Cockpit - with The Cog That Remains mentioned as a stretch goal - having successfully funded with 500+% of its original goal thanks to its 137 backers.

The ZineTopia community has been a pretty great one, and the support for what was, behind-the-scenes, a kind of spur-of-the-moment undertaking has been deeply appreciated. Thanks to every sharer and backer!

Now to let the machine whir for a bit before beginning the process of 🔥fulfillment 😈.

Please pay attention.

This is a horrible situation and it's going to do tremendous damage.

Any fighting back, any help you can give, NOW IS THE FUCKING TIME TO DO IT.

Three punk games Here are 3 small, angry, fast games, which stick to their own rules. "SEX/VIOLENCE/POOP 3" explores the limits of your bad taste. "HEX & THE PUNKS" rebels against patriarchal systems. "We were punks" ...

Less than 40 hours left to turn my little punk TTRPG trilogy into a reality... I'm not gonna lie, it's looking like a very close one, but maybe I'll make it with one last push?

Something something Masks: A New Generation campaign idea...

. . . no, no I don't think I can accept that last bit. Maybe there's not a degree or a title or what have you, but the work has been thoroughly put in.

Hedge Academic at LEAST.
