For solo TTRPG club today I played Terminal from @shawkgames.bsky.social. I could have been a cyberpunk type out to change the world but ended up a newbie narrowly cracking the password of their coffee shop scheduling system for proof of unauthorized changes by the manager. Power to the people!

the human made icon
I want to be a better steward for the Human Made icon. If you have any ideas on how I can get the word out for it more please let me know. Do you think game retailers would be interested in stickers they could pass out? folks interested in pins? What can I do to support you using this icon? a zine?
The original The Horrors Persist But So Do I meme. A blonde hamster sits behind the wheel of a pink plastic Barbie car. There are tiny pink sunglasses on its head. The text is light pink and violet and the whole photo has a sparkling effect

Check out this sweet vending machine with games in!
A series of games available in a vending machine.
It's now right there along with Wither and Grow!
Awesome! Do you pick out the books or do folks provide the book they want used?
A staged photo of a book that has the working hands of a clock. This book is a light, bright green, and has two arches in orange that create an oval on the cover. At the 12, 3, 6, and 9 positions there are silver squares.
A photo of a book clock made from a purple book. The books leather is stamped with gold foil flowers.
This book clock clearly shows signs of use, the book cloth's pink cover has a black rectangular stamp added to the top right corner with swirling lines in it.
This book clock depicts a blue storm with a small black silhouette of a city at the very bottom. A bright lightning bolt shoots from the top to the bottom center of the cover.
Did you know I had an Etsy? Wow me neither—wait how did these get here?

I've been making book clocks for a couple of years now and finally got around to putting them up online for people to grab even if they don't make it to my in person markets! They really tell time!
I included it on Ghost Roads & Moon Dust, which is going to be available via vending machines thanks to @knaveofcups.com
