Reinstate our teammates now!
Kickstarter is retaliating against our union members for our legally-protected strike action in October 2025.
Four union members have been laid off or forced to leave our union by leadership, despite clear business needs for these members' roles.
Email Kickstarter's CEO and tell him this is illegal and unacceptable!

The trailer for Lodge is here! @timchuon.bsky.social did a phenomenal job with it—I've watched this so many times!

It is so strange and wonderful to see a little idea I had turned into something as beautiful as this.

I just played my first round of Lodge with a pre-production copy with my mom, and she beat me 51-37! So excited to bring this cozy game to you all soon. #lodgegame
