This might be a bit of a hot take (and very much isn’t targeted at anyone to be super clear, just my general experiences over the last 8 months seeing people talk about my game) but I don’t think Girl Frame is niche or has a small audience, speaking as the person who has the sales numbers

🏝️🌋 Episode 21 is now live! 🌋🏝️ This time we look at the Majapahit Empire on the island of Java. With traditional music, shadow puppet performances, and readings in Old Javanese, find out how the empire of the islands fell. YouTube: youtu.be/01CZBhZM430?... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/3xZ9...
I feel like the most useful setting material is described from the ground up rather than the top down. I don’t mean like no cultural or regional summaries, moreso that it seems more useful to start with the stuff you actually use in a session than the stuff that imposes limits on what you can make.
The Blackwater Font is my Appendix N Jam submission! (as well as my second submission for Violence in July) Loosely inspired by Boot Hill and the Fear of Dice, it provides 21 NPCs all with their own relationships and vendettas within a town perfect for any OSR game yyakamo.itch.io/the-blackwat...

FWIW, Meta was fully aware of how these glasses would primarily be used. The glasses were designed to erase consent, and that is why they exist. Anything that they do that suggests they want to ameliorate this use is an attempt to win the PR battle and manipulate public opinion.
Meta Desperately Trying to Ban Creeps Misusing Its AI "Pervert Glasses"
Meta is vowing to crack down on creeps misusing its Ray Ban smart glasses. Whether it will be enough to regain trust remains to be seen.
