Mรถrk Sol A faster-than-light Mรถrk Borg-inspired RPG set in a horrific galaxy consumed by entropic decay.

I love running the TTRPG bluesky feeds, but it's not the cheapest thing in the world.

If you wanna support them, consider joining the IC Patreon or back Mรถrk Sol on Kickstarter.

Both of those help me keep making things, which helps me fund the feeds!

Today is Creator Day on @itch.io!

For 24 hours, Itch doesn't take a cut from sales, meaning creators keep 100% of the money you spend.

As is tradition, I want to spend the day boosting as many indie #ttrpg people as possible, so if you have games on Itch, drop them here!

Thieves! Fire! Murder! Such a thing had not happened since he first came to the Mountain! His rage passed description - the sort of rage that is only seen when rich folk that have more than they can enjoy suddenly lose something that they have long had but have never before used or wanted.

Everyone knows about Sir Terry Pratchett, but I didn't think we give Tolkien enough credit for knowing what's up and being pissed about it.
