I cannot stress enough how important it is that you recommend indie TTRPGs you like online. Someone on Reddit asked for a game rec, only like 3 out of 20 people said my game, but it made for a massive wave of visits to the Itch page. Word of mouth is real.

Late Valentines Relationship Bundle logo
TTRPGs about relationships! And some of those relationships are about digging tunnels under your house to see if there's a Daddy hiding somewhere in the darkened soil, communicating with you through the earth, waiting for you to dig your way down to it.
And some are normal!

The cover of Noctopolis: An Apocalypse Keys Mystery from Calenmir's RPGs, which is formatted as a comic book newspaper cover. The central image is a group shot of seven superheroes. They include a dark-cloaked figure with a red mask, a Nightcrawler lookalike boosting up a fellow hero using water, a Black woman in powered armor giving the cloaked hero bunny ears, a tan woman with glowing spear & shield wearing hoplite armor, a St. Bernard waving at the camera, a heavyset white guy in street clothes and dazzle paint, and a pink-skinned person in a blue jay onesie. The caption names them as Chiropter, Water Weaver, Hex Wrench, Light Skirmisher, Anymorph, Captain Facepuncher, and Blue Jay, respectively. The snippet of the "article" begins: Noctopolis, NERZ - After robots swarmed the business district, six Project Paragon heroes and one vigilante arrived on scene

Anyways.
never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

The March Mecha Newsletter features Girl Frame and an interview with the creator @anxiousmimicrpgs.bsky.social! Girl Frame is a PBTA game about lesbian pilots, forced into half-living mech suits and sent by their Handler to kill eldritch beings from outside reality.
It's incredibly well-written.
The best part of the ZineTopia campaign coming to an end is that I can stop being A Bother about it here and elsewhere.
I mean, I still have to be A Bother in a general sense, because otherwise nobody will ever see anything I or CHG at large create. But now there'll be variety again!
Ohhhh I like this idea a lot.
The "this is fine" dog meme comic, but he's saying "so I have a book coming out".

There is no marketing I'm more susceptible to these days than any company saying they don't use generative AI in their projects. I'm a sitting duck for that promise even if they're selling graham crackers or masking tape.

A snapshot of the BackerKit ZineTopia campaign for Tales from the Cockpit - with The Cog That Remains mentioned as a stretch goal - having successfully funded with 500+% of its original goal thanks to its 137 backers.
The ZineTopia community has been a pretty great one, and the support for what was, behind-the-scenes, a kind of spur-of-the-moment undertaking has been deeply appreciated. Thanks to every sharer and backer!
Now to let the machine whir for a bit before beginning the process of π₯fulfillment π.
Please pay attention.
This is a horrible situation and it's going to do tremendous damage.
Any fighting back, any help you can give, NOW IS THE FUCKING TIME TO DO IT.
Final day of #ZineTopia @backerkit.com! Get Tales from the Cockpit, a Lost & Found solo game of a giant robot, its many pilots, and the passage of time! There are also stranded pilots, mecha mechanics, heists, dream hackers, and fleeing starships in the add-ons!! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s...
Hey Y'all,
We're in the last 48 hours of The Wanderer's Bookshop
I would love for you to share this with people you think might be interested!
There are still some stretch goals to reach and a lot already unlocked, bringing work by some really cool people as exclusives!

Less than 40 hours left to turn my little punk TTRPG trilogy into a reality... I'm not gonna lie, it's looking like a very close one, but maybe I'll make it with one last push?
