I've been very quiet on here and spending more time analog and offline this year. But we're still working in the background! We are not writing as many new games this year but instead focusing on helping others publish their awesome games, and working on smaller experimental projects.
Go follow Locked Room! Adam is pushing the boundaries on TTRPGs and Boardgames again.

The Quiet Year is one of the most influential games I've ever played, and every gamer should have a copy on their shelf. (Going for Broke and Dream Askew are great, too!)
Avery Alder, Buried Without Ceremony@lackingceremony.bsky.social · yesterdayDo you love any of the games that I have created? Whether it's Monsterhearts, Dream Askew, The Quiet Year, Going For Broke, or a deeper cut, now would be a great time to hit quote-tweet and tell your friends about it! It's been a slow month. 💕✨ store.buriedwithoutceremony.com
