I haven't been showing this art enough! Funding now on Backerkit.

The Crossroads connects the great stair to the deep mines and other dungeon regions. The once luxurious baths now play host to a variety of creatures and dangers, but also fabulous treasure.

As a woman, I offer my sympathies to the Pope who is now being told hourly by very many random men what he actually means

Boy, I should really lay off the rants while I've got a crowdfunding project live, shouldn't I.

Maybe this article is a balanced exploration of the topic presenting all available information. Undoubtedly they chose this headline because of the algorithm. But they've sold their credibility for a featured spot.

Why is this so? Maybe this writer is very smart. Maybe this article is great! But their first message to me is "I've chosen your conclusion for you already." I can't trust this writer to teach me anything.

This is why Substack drives me crazy now. I like to learn. I like to understand things. I can't learn anything from a writer who has already picked the conclusion for me.

So the Catholic Church has um issues.
But still: the American Pope is a global leader with a huge audience who is responding to Trump in public, without fear, and calling out the violence. There’s nothing they can do about it either. Neither bribes or threats will avail them. It’s lovely to see

Update 17: Secret Stretch Goal #1: Brindlewood Bay Crossover Mystery · Public Access Analog Horror Mystery TTRPG We’ve just unlocked our $450K stretch goal, Gathering Dust, and so now it’s time to reveal our first Secret Stretch Goal! If we can raise more money than Brindlewood Bay did during its Kickstarter campaign, we’ll make a crossover mystery that can be played with both Brindlewood Bay and Public Access. The mystery is called Estate of Affairs. The Brindlewood Bay version is a classic murder mystery involving the death of a wealthy cattle baron in New Mexico… and the greedy heirs trying to lay claim to his estate. The Murder Mavens are in New Mexico on holiday when the local sheriff, aware of their reputation back in New England, ropes them into the case. The Public Access version of the mystery is a Lost Transmission about the filming of that episode of Brindlewood Bay. What starts as a normal day on location for a small group of production assistants turns into a nightmare of ancient pacts and blood sacrifice. The mystery will be presented so that Side Characters, Locations, and Clues account for both the Brindlewood Bay version and the Public Access version. And there might even be a circumstance that causes them to literally crossover with one another…In order to beat Brindlewood Bay, we have to raise $477,518 USD. If unlocked, this stretch goal will be a digital download.

We’ve just announced our first Secret Stretch Goal: The Brindlewood Bay crossover mystery!

To unlock it, we have to beat what BBay raised on Kickstarter!

(and if you think taxes and shipping are bad, try immigration!)

As a Canadian, I am used to bureaucracy being complicated but solvable. I remember taxes being painful, but the rules were clear if you dug deep enough. In the US, even experts are cagey about what the rules actually mean, and the interpretation changes.

Yes, sadly that is the case.

So, going to have to limit my Salamander Mines poster to US/Canada only. I'm getting really contradictory information about shipping international--crazy prices, added taxes and duties. Unfortunately, it just seems too risky.

Books I can still do using Drive-thru, but no poster is disappointing. :(

As I dig deeper, I'm finding a lot of confusion associated with shipping international. USPS online tools give me contradictory information. Shipping posters in tubes seems kind of risky.

I have a dilemma. I'm about to launch a Backerkit campaign for my megadungeon poster. Some folks are saying don't ship outside the US because of uncertain and changing costs. Should I make this US only? Seems kind of sad, but also I don't want to set up unnecessary risk...

2.	He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation …
3.	He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing … his invasions on the rights of the people.
4.	He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; … obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners …
5.	He has obstructed the Administration of Justice …
6.	He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices …
7.	He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
8.	He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
9.	He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
10.	He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution … giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
11.	For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
12.	For protecting them … from punishment for any Murders which they should commit …
13.	For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
