The Curse of Nefer Ka Tet will be included in the RPG Creators Relief Fund charity bundle next month, so maybe hold off on that one and support a good cause.

I plan to join in on the stream and promoting what the RCRF is doing. I may not be rich enough to throw piles of money at them (yet), but adding awareness still helps the cause.
We’re putting together our November fundraiser for the RCRF, and we want to know who YOU want to see. Tag your favorite game company below if you’d love to see them participate! And hey, game companies: if you see your name tagged… consider that an enthusiastic invitation! 😇🎲

Another convention has drawn to a close. It was a great weekend at #FallCon with the #Logomancy crew. Tomorrow I fly home and start thinking about the 3 cons I have in September. #boardgames #TTRPG #indiedeveloper

Well, the YPP goalpost is jumping back out of my reach. And I was so close! It would be lovely though, if I could hang on the outskirts for 4-5 months before I get booted back to the bottom of the pile. Help a goat out? youtube.com/@theeclecticgoat
