i know, most "what is a roleplaying game" sections include the words "this is a roleplaying game"

The most important rules text of a TTRPG is often “this is a role playing game”.

correct, you just said the same thing as aaron

yeah i believe in us

lol lmao maybe :P

but we have players and referees around the whole globe (us, uk, denmark, india, phillipines to name a few places) so its a lot more distributed with when folks are active

like 10 minutes to an hour most days, but there are some folks really are throwing their all into the RP and spending a few hours each day. most of the gameplay is writing letters, making sure your guys dont starve, and fighting folks if you run into them

if we're mutuals and you wanna play a communist guerilla or a royalist attempting to restore their monarchy or even a colonial soldier... lemme know! we could use a few more folks in the player queue

hey adira, what have you been up?

oh not much, just on the referee team for a super fucking cool live text roleplaying/MUD wargame running on Discord set in an alternate 1940s setting based on the anti-colonial wars of southeast asia

what is the team gunna about that whole Discord thing?

This is perhaps the most seen I've felt with regard to erotic TTRPGs in a while. It is such a frustrating but understandable sentiment, though it becomes all the more frustrating when it's the -dominant- sentiment. This is also true for Hawkmoth, and has been true for my own work to an extent.

Hello. It's my final week as a full time game designer, and as if to underline why I can't do this anymore, I currently can't afford to cover my bills at the end of the month.

All of my work on itch is on sale. Tell your friends, buy something, thank you very much.

I and trans writers before me have gone repeatedly into tracing the trajectory of the 2010s, where we went from the first bathroom bill in NC resulting mass boycotts to over 1000 anti-trans bills being introduced by 2025.

There was a deliberate, targeted shift in discourse!

booo big umbrella nice and big

have i told you about my evil theory "everything is system"

God bless the United States of Minnesota

Some stories are difficult not just because of the effort it takes to tell them, but because of the subject matter. This story is both.

Seven months, six Rascals, five creators, and a dozen drafts, revisions, and versions later... We have a story that is necessary, heartbreaking, and important.

ANOTHER ONE!

Buried Alive {2}{B} Sorcery Search your library for up to three creature cards, put them into your graveyard, then shuffle. The scrape of shovels and the tumble of cold dirt soon muffled their pleas. Illustrated by Greg Staples Altered with trans flag colored sky. The text box has been painted to look like chalky pavement with the phrase “there is still time”

"What if she was right? What if I was someone else? Someone beautiful and powerful? Buried alive and suffocating to death on the other side of a television screen?"

Felt appropriate that I was working on these tonight.

There’s still time. There’s always time.
