I was very lucky to playtest Cold City 2e and, oh boy, you are all on for a treat!

Here's the kicker: we saw more books banned in 2023 than in any other year in American history. Why?

Now, if you go to your Payouts screen and click "Payout details", there's a bespoke "Contact support" link for each payout.

I'd say Bas-Lag gets it as well.

something wonderful about Ankh-Morpork is how it allows those groups to find themselves anew; it's only in Ankh-Morpork that Cheery Littlebottom can find freedom outside of traditional dwarven gender roles, where dwarfs and trolls begrudgingly work together despite centuries of hostility.

hard to think of a better way to demonstrate that we're not all on the same side

Yassss! Look forward to seeing what you bring to the jam!

Peeps are still setting everything up, but for folks who like to take part on itch, there is this...

Huh - got an AI spam email so lazy that the spammer didn't even bother to take their prompt out of the email.

Kickstsrter workers want a fair contact. Management refuse to meet them on this. They have been forced to strike for the past five days now!

This link has a list of things we can do to support the workers. It'll take a fee minutes.

Less than a week into October and the #NaGaDeMon is starting to stir... Why not join in this November by trying to Make, Play and Talk About a new game, all in a single month? 🐍👹

People signed with WWE to work for WWE, not AAA. The moment it became clear that they have effectively built a new glass ceiling for Mexican talent - and it's one that also involves working somewhere many of them were glad to see the back of - it was obvious it would ruffle some feathers, at best.

YouTube video by Handiwork Games All the Cold City Hot War short videos in one long video

Oh hey, while we are experiencing a MASSIVE uptick in mail orders right now (yay!), and barely keeping up (boo!) - we will still be releasing Cold City tomorrow in PDF... Here's all of the short videos we made introducing Cold City and Hot War ahead of the campaign: #coldcity

This this a hundred times THIS! If you have the slightest hope for the future, a notion of reasonable preparedness or even just a conception of what meaningful relationship means, keep most of it offline and have plans in place for when you don't have access to what you left online.

Tbf, when it comes to crime they are more doers

I found this to be such an insightful conversation. Highly recommend just popping this on and letting it roll about your mind.

BlueSky staff really hate it when you use their decentralized moderation tools to hold them accountable

Be it following a transphobe or looking at porn on your company account, they'll ban you if you notice it using the tools they created for surveilling other people!
