Four zines on a brown wooden table. The zines are fanned out.

Who got access to a long-reach stapler and cardstock paper? This dude!

A closed copy of the roleplaying game Call of Cthulhu the keeper rulebook next to a green mechanical pencil, next to a closed copy of Alone Against the static a solo 1990s roleplaying adventure. There are also character sheets on blue paper, and a ten sided die and a 100 sided die.

Enjoying an evening alone.

If you're in New York, please take two minutes right now to call Governor Hochul and tell her to support and sign New York 4 All, which would prevent state and local agencies from collaborating with ICE.

518-474-8390.

This is important.

Inside of booklet showing blue sticking on either sides are words. Side spine view of stitched booklet White covered booklet from above.

There is an out-of-print book that the author posted online for free, so I tried my hand at bookbinding. Not the prettiest thing, but my first attempt. I didn't try to make a cover yet.

Hi! Yes, I'm absolutely the worst on social media! Thanks, Alex, for the shout-out! The Trapped book is being finalized, and after that, I'm hoping to give it to people to run on their own to figure out if it still works. So stay tuned!

My daughter is showing her brother a lot of drawings she made for a fantasy story she is making, and demanding he remember all the lore and character names. This is some intense nerdiness

I'm pretty sure if you just say "Oh yeah we are planning on renovating that." People just nod at you and accept why you haven't cleaned that space in over a year.

Something Is Wrong Here by Kira Magrann Uncanny surrealist roleplaying, inspired by Twin Peaks, Mulholland Drive, and the other dark works of David Lynch.

Kira Magrann's #rpg "Something is Wrong Here" is one of my top 5 favorite RPGs because of how well it captures David Lynch's style.

David Lynch was such a big influence on the art that I love and wish to surround myself with.

That's me! My idea for this game is that at a point, a child will be a fully independent being and will do things that the parent can't understand or even completely disagrees with and both the child and the parent need to learn how to live and love with each other.

Art creation requires time, focus, and so many other resources. I know the challenges of creativity when many different things pull me in every direction. I want to celebrate everyone who can create, even briefly - you are amazing!

The two games I have in this bundle are Mom Dad I Summoned A Demon And Now We Are Getting Married: this is a 2 to three player ttrpg where a child of marriageable age breaks the news to their parent(s) that they're getting married to the demon they summoned.
