So happy for you babes
A photo of the new Alyson Greaves book All The Way. Book 2 of the When You Fell From Heaven series.
Arrived this morning. In this horrible photo I was trying to show the Alyson inflation of Book 1 to Book 2. But I am bad at photos, and decided to show everyone my incompetence.
Still the greatest game ever made.
Incredibe as always, Alyson.
You look gorgeous.
I realise it doesn't make much sense to people who haven't playtested the game, but I am pretty proud of how its looking so far.
An image of the character card for Margaret "Maggie" Green in the game Whispers in the Coal Dust. It looks like a stylised Clock-Card from the Lilac Mills where Maggie works. It is an aged yellow card with Places for Employee details in a monospaced font. The filled in values look like Handwritten entries in blue bic ink. The Entries in the time card columns are filled in with handwritten red bic ink. Lying across the columns at an angle obscuring them is a black and white photo of a 1950s British woman at the seaside wearing a formal blazer and pleated ankle length skirt (this is placeholder stock photography). Across the bottom of the card vertically aligned are two tracks of numbers one from 5 to 0, the other from 0 to 5, labelled SAPPHISM and RESPECTABILITY respectively, this is the Tension Track. Above the column that represents SAPPHISM 3 and RESPECTABILITY 2, is a small handwritten blue ink word saying "Start" at a slight upward angle, representing the characters starting position on the tension track.
Further to my earlier post about the work on Whispers, here is the current draft of Maggie's character card design (with placeholder stock photo for the moment). The Tension Track at the bottom is design so that a small paper clip can be used to track the current position.
Yeah the RAM market has gone insane.
Made lots of progress this weekend, on what I hope will be the final draft of Whispers in the Coal Dust. I am getting a little carried away with the format it will be available as, but at least it will look amazing. If I am super on the ball, I might have it available for sale at Con-Tingency.
Can always rely on you for novel length chapters (I promise this is compliment, I love it)
Just received my print copy of @floaker.bsky.social's Mum Chums. The final product and play sheet are great. This is my number one game released this year, you all owe yourself a chance to play it. I will definitely be running it again at Con-Tingency.
Age yourself with gaming.
Such a babyπ
Yes
I am the same person, I just used to lie to everyone else about who that person was.
You are just too pretty Carmine.
A selfie of me. A trans woman with curly dark red hair, smoky eye shadow and colour changing green and purple lip gloss.
Another year nearer to 50. I am an old woman.
If people can signal boost a friend of mines gofundme, that would be great.
For the way out here in super narrative land I could totally make some Mixtapes to run this as Ribbon Drive.
Letting the strong trans aunt mask slip a bit. Everything I do for the community, the help with hormones and voice, is because I know I missed my chance to be happy by refusing to transition for 25 years even though I knew I was trans. And some days its just hits me like a truck. Do not be like me.
1000s of random sheets of paper and 100s of different notebooks, all with a million half-thought ideas.

I mean all of the games I write are GMless, and about 50% are diceless (and even the ones with dice have a single dice roll in a scene).
Well that was ... a lot. I now just desperately need books 3-12.
My girlies and I frequently discuss how if all the trans girls went on strike, the internet would fall apart about 2 hours later.
Asha, you aren't just pretty. You are beautiful
Your voice is one of the most perfect I have assessed. There isn't a better outcome, anything else is about personal preference. Like I am able to sound much more femme than the voice I use every day, but it is my preference.
That's not how it works, all it means is that if you had professional support you probably could have voice trained in a couple of months.
There is no such thing as earning your voice. Yes your voice is good, it is not easy to voice train NO MATTER the method you use, in fact doing it without professional support is explicitly harder.
Babe, your voice is great, and I am always available to help you understand how to break it down better.
