Kickstarter United workers will strike beginning October 2 Demands include enshrining the four-day, 32-hour work week in their contract.

Unionized workers with @kickstarterunited.org are poised to strike if the crowdfunding platform's management doesn't approve their new contract.

The union has demanded a four-day workweek, minimum living wage salaries, and protections against generative AI encroachment.

We are FOUR MONTHS (and a few days) away from Gallows Corner - A Peasants' Revolt RPG launching on Kickstarter!

As such, you're going to be seeing a lot more of me here talking about the game. So get ready!

First up: are you following on Kickstarter? Let's go! www.kickstarter.com/projects/thr...

a how to guide for creating crossword dungeons. Step 1 - Find and Do, do the crossword. Step 2 - See Beyond, find the inspiring words and start to see the shape. Step 3 - Extrapolate, ditch words you dont like, create walls, you contol the dungeon. Step 4 - Draw the rest of the owl (make the dungeon from the inspiration). Step 5 - BE NOT AFRAID. Its just a dungeon created from a crossword, they wont always work. Useful tips: Metro for daily free crosswords. CrosswordSolver, for tricky clues. DungeonScrawl, for making maps. LootTheRoom - for more random ideas

A comment on itch reminded me of this idea for creating #TTRPG dungeons I had a while back. I still think its neat and I don't think I've actually shared it here on bsky.

So bsky.. meet Crossword Dungeons!
Do a crossword, use the answers and designs as inspiration for the rooms, get creative!

Zephyr is an anarchist fantasy #TTRPG where you play as Windfolk - sentimental constructs embarking on a rite of passage that sees them travel across the sentient continent of Ophoi to fulfill the sacred Obligations that will bind their community - using a complex, color-token system of survival...

Cool article on Ex Tenebris has hit EN World! Thank you @robowieland.bsky.social

Danse Macabre was a massive help to me when I was a teenager trying to learn more about horror and struggling to find effective criticism. Plus it's a very engaging read.

Same, every time 😂

I misread that as Uwufest and was very confused and also concerned

GREAT NEWS. You are a GOAT GIRL and it is ALWAYS YOUR BIRTHDAY. You are having a joint birthday/war party with the other goat girls and no-one is going to stop you.

VIOLENT DELIGHTS Goat girls cannot die, nor suffer serious harm. (It is their birthday.) Goat girls can be captured and/or confined, but this state of affairs rarely lasts for long. Any death or injury they inflict (a frequent occurrence) happens slightly off-screen, or out-of-focus in the background of a different scene.

My hundredth one-page roleplaying game is HAPPY BIRTHDAY GOAT GIRL.

You are a goat girl, most beautiful and dangerous creature, and it is always your birthday.

TONIGHT!

What is a mech? Does it need legs? An engine? A HEART?

@taylorannnx.bsky.social invites a panel of 'experts' including @michellicopter.bsky.social, @drtalksalot.bsky.social, @totoroki.bsky.social, and @jcdarcy.bsky.social to a lively debate to settle the question once and for all.

Shout out to everyone only now learning that "Albert Einstein was reclusive at the end of his career, shunning public engagements."

Really meant,

"For the last *20 years* of his career, Einstein opposed US racism by only speaking publicly at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

Sorry We're Closed is so freaking good

Things that would get us there:

3 retail tier
8 physical copy backers
5 community copy tiers

(Any combination of the above)

Haha, sorry, it's a weird parlance from my gaming group! It just means finding photos or images that you use to represent characters. Comes from the fan community that "fancasts" specific actors as characters in books in their ideal adaptation of a book.

The list of awesome folks working on this is ridiculously cool 😍

Ex Tenebris: A gothic space TTRPG Unravel mysteries, battle horrors, protect the stars

Ex Tenebris is LIVE on Kickstarter! Back now to help us get a strong start.

Play a ragtag team of investigators, walking the stars and hunting indescribable horrors with few resources and no backup.

The Republic Of Stars needs you. Will you answer the call?

www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

I fancast my NPCs using photographs or genre-related art because it makes them feel more real. Character connections are a huge part of what makes me feel invested, so it helps to give NPCs life in my mind.

We are going live tomorrow for the launch as well so come and join us! 4pm BST at the link below.

We will be playing a little bit of the game, taking questions in the chat, enjoying some snacks with the Black Armada Tales crew.
