also, I ran out of characters in the original post, but also wanted to give a shout-out to our guest co-hosts @sandonthebreeze.bsky.social and @fkth.bsky.social for this special ep!

This is 100% my philosophy too.

I'll always prefer to make weird stuff I love, for a small group of weirdos, over twisting me and my work into unnatural shapes for mass appeal.

You really don't need millions of followers to make a living as a creative, just like ~500-1000 folk who always show up.

Also be sure to check out Hailey's upcoming books A Game in Yellow and Teenage Girls Can be Demons!

This thread lists some terrific places to discover a ton of very cool indie TTRPGs.

Listen to me talk about Cthork Borg with the excellent RPG Reanimators!

Two solid hours of podcast, we get deep into the mechanical weeds, talk about Lovecraftian fiction before and after the namesake guy, and there's a lot of Mork Borg design theory that happens too.
