Teenage Exocolonist is such a great game! I spent a couple of weeks utterly immersed in it last year. Hope you enjoy!

The one thing more exciting than seeing Galatea on the zine wall is seeing that it's next-door neighbors with @cassi.mothwin.com's games!

YO are you making a zine for this? Are you PRINTING that zine, makin it exist IRL? Do you think it'd be cool for that zine to get sold out of a vending machine in a game bar in Portland, Oregon? DM us!

(Think: A6-ish or smaller, $25 or less retail)

A photo of a view out of a windowpane at a snowy landscape. The heavily snow-laden branches of a tree stretch across an otherwise featureless white scene. Somewhere underneath the unplowed snow is a road, but that fact must be taken on faith.

During one of my late night doom scrolls. I saw an Insta post saying that "weekends are starting to feel like 30 minute lunch breaks."
That is the absolute damn truth.

I think it depends on whether I'm just casually browsing for games to add to my library (the first one is better) or if I'm specifically looking for a session with a number of players already in mind. I still think the second is being too careless with putting a part of its premise at the end though

Oh yeah, printing is the best way to evaluate

I have issues with both - "Th" is too close together in metrical and "if" is too far apart in optical. For these two particular samples metrical looks worse at first glance just because there are a couple of coincidental ascender/descender clashes. Both could benefit from a bit more line spacing.

well, unless you want to get in on the status game that everyone else seems to be playing, that'd be a reason not to

Bandit's two cents are that the Apocalypse printing is worth more just because it's 25 years old

I mentioned I wanted to go to the library to pick up my holds and Bandit advised me to take the tons of extra people in the transportation system today into account, and that’s how I learned the Super Bowl is in the Bay Area this year
