Gem Room Games: the finest in role playing bricks!

When we dropped this latest @ipr.bsky.social restock off at the post office the clerk asked if we were shipping books or bricks.

Books, definitely.
Which is to say, you should order some from IPR, or ask your FLGS to!

I have this shirt and I love it. You will too.

Here's some more info about in-state orgs helping on the ground in Kansas, including what LGBTQKS is doing:

Every dollar made over at gemroomgames.itch.io this week will go direct to the LGBTQ Foundation of Kansas.

Go buy some games, some settings, some adventures, and know that you're helping efforts to make life slightly more functional for people dealing with some exceptional bullshit right now.

KANSAS FUNDRAISER HERE

What Kansas is doing to trans residents right now is vile.
We've supported Trans Continental Pipeline but most people cannot get up & go. For them, we're fundraising for lgbtqks.org who are helping deal with day to day impact.

So come buy some games, details below!

Absolutely, entirely.

We've spent 2025 on sabbatical.
Or, well, some of 2025.
On something like a sabbatical.
It didn't really go as intended.

Anyhow, Kali wrote about it, with some sabbatical takeaways at the end about making games not so much because you want to but because you need to.
