Hey, friends. Three years ago today I released VOID 1680 AM, the response to which legitimately changed my life.
I've added 100 community copies free to download. Become the late-night radio DJ of your dreams and build a playlist tied to your history with music here: bannerless.games/voidam
A mockup of the Blades '69 book where the 69 has been crossed out and replaced with 69 in bright purple. Below that, the bio for April Kit Walsh which reads: April Kit Walsh writes games about feelings, vulnerability, and caring for one another, including Thirsty Sword Lesbians and End of the Line. She used to be a swordfighting ballerina, but claims those days are behind her; she has absolutely no idea who that masked heroine with the sword and the tutu might be. When not writing RPGs, April is a civil liberties attorney working to protect the rights of criminal defendants, activists, journalists, and everyone else impacted by the technologies of control or empowerment. Next to the bio, the description for the $420k stretch goal: Blades '69: The Sexual Revolution The 1960s were a time when the counterculture challenged establishment norms around sex, love, family, and a person's right to choose what happens to their own body. How does this conflict manifest in Doskvol? How does the Consensus exercise control through these dimensions of human experience, and what struggles and delightful deviancies does your group want to explore? Blades '69 is a combination of a worldbuilding exercise and safety tool to help you bring themes of both real-world and fantastical sexual liberation to your game.
yeah yeah we saw all you sly posters going "Blades '68? ...just ONE off."
Well we're not COWARDS. Challenge accepted!
At $420k we'll commission April Kit Walsh (designer of Thirsty Sword Lesbians) to write up... Blades '69
Time to put your money where your mouth is.

Four curving lines (orange, yellow, baby blue, turquoise) arc across an eggshell backdrop with a pale blue ink stain. Text in the top right read βEcho Chamberβ. Text in the bottom left reads βA Blades 68 miniseries.β
Onboard a glamorous airship casino, the Emissaries of the Echo tear it up on the dance floor, cause some chaos, and strike a deal.

you have until March 23rd to comment.
i know we have endless fucking things to scream at politicians about--this is an important one too.

4 Triangle Agents around a sign reading "Backerkit live!". Niorun is standing in an imitation of the Gru plan meme, making a deranged expression as if explaining a zany scheme. Crash is on the floor in the family guy death pose, surrounded by papers, a calculator, a book on taxes, and his signature sunglasses. Donny is in a "ta da!" pose similar to the Will Smith meme. Nell is smiling at the sign and holding a megaphone.
Our Backerkit Campaign for the Triangle Agency Fanzine print run has launched! Funding period is until late March! This is likely to be our one and only print run, so get it while you can!

A screenshot of an email from an ad agency to Evil Hat Marketing: Hey Evil Hat team, Promised this is the last time youβll hear from me. We are wrapping up generating content on the house. The AI studio is starting to get fully booked with our paying clients, and I have strict orders to stop promoting this come the weekend. I figured Evil Hat might as well get some work out of us at no cost while you can. Want in before we close it up? Best, [redacted] And then our reply: Hi [redacted], We will never use AI for our games or for our marketing. It's toxic to our customer audience and it's an ethical violation of the hard work put in by the human artists we hire to illustrate our books and the human writers who design our games. In short, it's not "free work" it's theft. Feel free to take me off your mailing list. Hope you turn around your business model because frankly, your current approach sucks shit. -Tom
sometimes you have to be clear about your values

Can you believe we only have an episode and a half left of Our Lives in the Wood? We're so close to the end of it all.
I can hardly believe I started this series in 2024. Over a year telling this story of beauty and tragedy. Let's end it with a band.
πWhat are you keeping? What do you know?π
We see the end of the tunnel, hidden in a corner of the Deep Stacks. The clacking of a typewriter leaking out from behind a wooden door. Perhaps this is the Writer's Room?

Hey.
Tell people when they do good job.
When you like the stuff they make.
When you like the characters theyβve created.
The stories theyβve told.
Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.
Trust. They donβt.
Tell. Them.
Hey so, I really like play testing games.
If you have a game you need playtested, I will do it and also I will give you honest feedback in the nicest way possible.
If you are also someone that likes play testing games and giving feedback, maybe we could like playtest some games together maybe?
Image is an illustration of an old armor helmet from the Middle Ages facing the front and the side. The side view is showing the helmet open, with a greyish human face, a strange growth of flowers that look like posies, but wrong. The middle shows a close up drawing of the posies growth, a mass of tendrils and nonsensical growing like a freak of nature. The front facing helmet on the left is closed, a strange light emitting from inside the armor, a progression of this disease overtaking the human inside. Surrounding the image is a border of gnarly, pink, root-like growths and lavender, deep purple and pink posies growing on it.
