have you listened to the Death of the Author episode yet or

I'm even more excited to listen now. While I don't identify as ace anymore, I did for a good few years and I still consider myself to be somewhere on that spectrum. Very cool to hear you've used this game to tell a distinctly aspec story! And that does sound horrifying in the context of the game!!

(🧵) I'm being so annoying abt this episode bc it's a story I've wanted to tell for a long time. it's a horror story, inspired by my experiences discovering my aspec identity. I rlly hope it resonates with other ppl on the aro/ace spectrum and helps ppl that aren't empathize with us more

When it was time for me to get back into the podcast gm seat, I wanted to pick games with small casts made of close friends running systems that have always enchanted me. Just for ease.

I'm so glad I did that. This is one of my favorite things I've made. Good to feel "back." Take breaks, gang.

my general manager just fell in love with U

Two space explorer figures stand, surrounded by tall, licking flames. One appears to be waving at the viewer. White all-caps letters say, "the horrors persist but so do we sale" and "4/17-4/19, 50% off all orders"

THE HORRORS SALE IS HERE! 💫
HALF OFF EVERYTHING W CODE PERSIST

FINAL DAY!

We may be just a lil niche game shop but WE'RE still here, so are YOU, and dammit, we're gonna celebrate! Are we "acting out"? Yes, probably. Get on board!

The horrors persist, but so do you. And so do we 🫡

one of my favorite screenshots so far is this one of U and a player from my TA campaign bonding, while I'm annoying my general manager character in the background

if you guys haven't checked out The Time We Have yet, now's a good time 🚪

WOW that's spectacular!!

The storybook Three Little Rocks, the game book A Perfect Rock, the Rock Oracle Deck, and the Star Map all lay side-by-side on a wooden table.

My contributor copy for A Perfect Rock and the Rock Oracle Deck by @deepdark.games!

I had a fantastic time editing these and I'm really impressed by the final product. The game book has a nice lay-flat spine and Nick's art is stunning. Great game for planet exploration and creation.

Hey surprise it's me, Nova, here to get sappy on main for a sec!

Dragon Reactor: Embers, Ashes, Moments, and Stars. D.R.E.A.M.S.
That's exactly what this game has been for me, and it's the combined dreams of our team that brought this work of art to life.

The fit is immaculate

Coming soon: Nibiru: Revisited Step once again into a colossal space station, home to millions, where stories of drama and struggle are written on a daily basis.

ATTENTION!

Friday the 17th we are launching the KS for Nibiru: Revisited!

That's all great to know, thank you!!

Outstanding news!

I'm in the same situation as David - would probably take that deal if not for oversees shipping. But I've been thinking about getting a lapel mic for a while now. If you'd recommend them, would you mind sharing the brand?

Oh that's so nice! Also wild because I was just listening to that playlist a couple days ago

When Nova and Quinn asked if I would edit Dragon Reactor, I didn't hesitate to agree. It was clear the game had a strong vision, and the team's writing and visual design stuck the landing.
