I have the distinct reminder of, after hashtag ttrpgfamily blew up, reading someone going "so can we use hashtag ttrpgcommunity now" and fucking, blacking out

Reflexively winced when I saw it, so you're onto something for sure

I don't even know if they think people will care. Would guess it's just people trying to sell stuff they know is bullshit to suckers all the way down.

The most recent Mana game is *brutal* lmao. I have to respect it, it really does make it all hit much harder.

I should replay it, it's been years and years. I distinctly remember the bittersweet ending bumming me out when I was a kid!

Thanks! At that point in its lifetime it didn't even have a cover.

Softback APOCALYPSE FRAME now exists! It's staple-bound and square-backed, which means it both opens easily for use at a table AND closes flat enough to fit on your shelf.

Where can you get it? Well...

It's been almost 4 years since the initial release (v0.1.0) of APOCALYPSE FRAME! That feels unreal.

In commemoration of that (or more accurately, with good timing)...

Me? A book design enjoyer. A TTRPG art consumer. A maximalist. Gimme maps and charts. A banging color scheme. Do some “House of Leaves” shit.

So of course, it beehooves me to participate in @binarystar.games famous…

God, an anthology Final Fantasy game sounds dope as hell.

my mom taught me there's two kinds of businesses: hot dog stands and art galleries

- hot dog stands protect territory and keep competition off their turf

youre an art gallery, not a hot dog stand

Yeah that's not a *shift*, it's the second half of the same point.

Just a few hours left to stop by booth 449 and grab a copy of Trash to Treasure or Axolotl with a Gun!

First they came for the socialists, and you know what we gotta let that one slide, big tent and all
