I have definitely gotten my D&D players to also playtest my gothic space feudalism mecha game with guns that run on finding prime factors of their power number

Teenage Exocolonist is such a great game! I spent a couple of weeks utterly immersed in it last year. Hope you enjoy!

The one thing more exciting than seeing Galatea on the zine wall is seeing that it's next-door neighbors with @cassi.mothwin.com's games!

YO are you making a zine for this? Are you PRINTING that zine, makin it exist IRL? Do you think it'd be cool for that zine to get sold out of a vending machine in a game bar in Portland, Oregon? DM us!

(Think: A6-ish or smaller, $25 or less retail)

A photo of a view out of a windowpane at a snowy landscape. The heavily snow-laden branches of a tree stretch across an otherwise featureless white scene. Somewhere underneath the unplowed snow is a road, but that fact must be taken on faith.

During one of my late night doom scrolls. I saw an Insta post saying that "weekends are starting to feel like 30 minute lunch breaks."
That is the absolute damn truth.

I think it depends on whether I'm just casually browsing for games to add to my library (the first one is better) or if I'm specifically looking for a session with a number of players already in mind. I still think the second is being too careless with putting a part of its premise at the end though
